The Zambia Police service has clarified that the Zimbabwean Police officers spotted in the country did not come to Zambia to help police the elections.
Police Spokesperson Ndandula Siamana claims she was misquoted in an article in which she admitted that the Zimbabwe Police were in the country.
Ms. Siamana has however said that the Zimbabwe Police officers spotted in the country were merely in transit to the Democratic republic of Congo for the SADC Police games.
She says Zambians must not be misled that government will allow police officers from another country to help in policing the elections.
Ms Siamana adds that it is impossible for the country to have Zimbabwe Police come and police the elections.
QFM
Zambia Police should also pass through Zimbabwe enroute to All Africa Games!!lol
Ms Siamana ever heard of those flying metal tubes?They are called planes and travelling is what they use them for.Try another one but this time tell it to the birds.
So those claims have been proven right ,just come out and clear the mess !!!!!!!
I DONT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH ZAMBIA..THESE CHAPS WERE BUSSY REFUSING…TODAY THEY ARE SAYING SOMETHING ELSE..THEY SAID THEY HAVE NOT SEEN ANY ZIM POLICE…TRUE RB MUST GO
MMD have handled this very badly. From the time the IG of police was misquoted in the Zim media about the invitation of their police, when necessary, to help in supervising post election issues. It is the usual nonsensical niceties that these top guys say to each other when hosting neighbours. And then the late press release denial by RB’s Jere. It all went from bad to worse from then on. Talk about scooping spilled water on sand!
Imwe mwebantu what Ms Siamana is saying is true. These games were held in DRC. We saw these teams as they were passing through Kitwe under escort by Zambia polie. We saw them even on their way back from DRC.
CONCERN IS THEY TOTALLY REFUSED THAT THERE WAS NO SUCH A THING, WHY?????????????
Imwe, pa first aba bakapuli they said Zim police recruits were visiting graves of freedom fighters now ati they were going for games to Congo. They have just been caught out. Mwanya lelo!
is it only Zim Police who participated in these games?Why did police from other countries not also pass thru Zambia?
CONFUSED TOP POLICE CHAPS…THATS THE RESULT OF BEING A BOOT LICKER U ARE CONFUSED AND LOST…..
Seing is believing. Given this election time its important for members of the public to be infromed in advance to avoid speculations.
THIS IS TYPICAL OF ZAMBIAN POLICE, THEY HAVE LIED, LIED AND LIED AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! LOL! WHAT A SHAME THAT THE POLICE IS CONTROLLED BY A POLITICAL PARTY INSTEAD OF FOLLOWING CODE OF CONDUCT. POLICE IN ZAMBIA WILL NEVER BE SMART THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE A FAIR AND FREE ELECTIONS. BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL CORRUPT! SHAME ON YOU NDANDULA F***K
17 Days.Shiiiiiiiiiii
You have caught napping! yalula nkhani manje. NO 6, is underrating the potential conflict this might cause in zambia. mind you Bwezani was born in Zim. He can issue commands to the zim police FORCE in Shona, the language most zambians do not even understand.
These mpmbozi are confused. At first they said they were recruits on familarisation of zambian operations and to see the graves of their freedom fighters. My question: Do all zim police recruits come to zambia for the same purpose? I am sure these are not the first recruits. The IG or this beautiful lying spokesperson have not clarified until CB commanding chief made those comments about SADC games. Let me tell you what these Zim police were doing: Familiarising themselves from Livingstone to Chililabombwe.
Were these Zim chaps in uniform? Because you can not go into any foreign country with military or Service fatigue unless you’re invited…something is not right here. Â From online sources the Angolan delegation comprised by 84 police staff, so how Zim Coppers entered Zambia and how many left and entered DRC?In other words how many buses were there; anything above 2 is highly suspect…
These games took place between 15-30 August for the 7th edition of the games of Southern African Regional Police Chief Council Organisation (SAPCCO). when did you see these Zim Chaps??
Assistance please since our Zambian journalists are lazy “good for nothing” shorthand pen pushing donkeys..we have to do the investigative work for them…
Miss Siamana, can you tell us what ZP police vehicles were doing in Bulawayo some 3 to 4 weeks ago? So many of those vehicles.
Shame! Mmd has booked more than 25 * 30 seater buses to ferry an artificial crowd from Lusaka n Kafue to be at a rally in Chongwe today…clad in MMD attire.!
Ms Siamana, what are those amoured vehicles doing at poilce force? why get such during elections?
VIVA MMD, ABASH SATAN. SATA WILL NOT SEE STATE HOUSE AND HIS KAPONYAS WILL BE CONTAINED ABLY BY THE POLICE.
Ms Siamana, there are alot of unclarified issues over the same subject. Too many statements have been issued over the Zim police appearance on Zambian soil!! Can you learn to be truthful in whatever you are reporting to the nation. Little things build up to cause problems in the country. We have only one country, Zambia. Do not be over protective to defend the interest of some people.
So which budget line are we using to pay Zim Police to “monitor”elections in Zambia? Is the money coming from EU, Norway or some other donor agency? The very fact that there are so many conflicting statements from Siamana and Kabonde about Zim police’s presence in Zambia, shows you that there’s something govt is hiding at this stage, and do not be surprised if it is later discovered that thousands of Zim police officers are already in Zambia camping somewhere waiting for the election day for them to beat up anyone who will demonstrate against election results should RB “win”.
I personaly saw Namibia police as well. Luks like these guys had gone 4 games
I also saw these zim police in chingola,there were busy patrolling and what is surplising is that zambian police were busy guarding.These people are claiming there were coming from congo DR,why did zambia police go to these games too???
The Zambia Police must not downplay the mistrust that exists between Zambians and them, due to the perceived MMD biasness, it can prove costly. Zimbabwean Police are the most brutal in the region, and we don’t need an occupational force. RB does not trust his own men in uniform, what a shame…
Here is what Bulawayo 24 reported
“Insp-Gen Kabonde was addressing senior ZRP officers following a courtesy call at his offices in Lusaka on Tuesday. More than 240 ZRP senior officers and recruits were on a one-week educational tour of shrines for liberation fighters killed during the struggle. Insp-Gen Kabonde said it was important that the recruits and youths understood the history of their country”.
Another Syria in the making!
iwe gelo why clarifying this issue today? all along when it surfaced you folks kept on denying any idea of Zim police in zambia. you have been caught bwana uzakambira kusongoro
Banda has been caught red handed. The buffoon must go. SSSSHHH DONCHI KUBEBA
We cannot have an institution as important as the police not knowing how to relate with the general public.
It’s a shame that the one thing our police is consistent with is inconsistence.
Wake up imwe ba pombozi!!
This is RUPIAH’s dirty game!! Get FREE CORRUPT money from mines (after stopping the MINING TAX), Involve his FOREIGNERS Zimbabwean police in our Country election and GIVE illegal MOSQUE plots to MUSLIMS in Lusaka. What a shame!!!
For sure RUPIAH BANDA will bring the same religious fighting that are being experienced in NIGERIA.
RUPAH is a bad leader, for goodness sake how does RUPIAH single handedly give a plot to MUSLIMS in a place where there are no PLOTS in Lusaka?
Did RUPIAH and the MMD get some election funding?
Come on tell the truth. My brother  is a police officer in Zim and he is posted in Zambia at State house. I was just speaking to him today. You begged us to come to your help and we did. If anyone of you attempt to remove RB, we know how best to treat you. Just as MDC in Zim, they will tell you.
Â
So the Heraldnewspaper lied about this story? http://www.allafrica.com/stories/201103310083.html
There is the Zim police who passed through for the Congo games and the Zim police on education tour who have vanished in thin air.
Next time, maybe shot em just as they do to our brothers and sisters that cross over Zim.
?
the pf cadres are scared..they are violent as well..they need a good treat!
No sir I could not have impregnanted that woman……. I was just passing through and didn’t leave anything behind!
Kwena pa Zed! We are losing our sense.We know that Zimbabwe is going through tough economic crisis and you expect them to buy air tickets for all cops to the games.The footballers ahve passed thorohg Zimbabwe enroute to SA for games.If you don’t have anytHing to contribute don’t display your ignorance on the blog.This is not the end of the world.Elections will come and go and in the end there will be only one winnner.ONLY GOD KNOWS WHO.
All the clarifications by both ZP and State House don’t make any sense. The truth will out one day.
