MMD Lusaka Province Chairman William Banda has been summoned by police over the violence experienced in Chongwe last weekend.
Lusaka Division commanding Officer Mhlakeni Zulu says police have summoned Mr Banda over allegations that he played a part in the Chongwe violence.
Mr Zulu told journalists Thursday morning at his office this that Mr Banda is expected at the Central Police on Friday for a warn and caution statement.
Mr Zulu has urged members of the public to be patient with police as they investigate the matter.
He has called for peace ahead of the September 20 general elections, further warning that police will not tolerate violence.
And Police in Luanshya have detained a twenty-five-year old youth for allegedly assaulting a member of the Patriotic Front PF.
The youth assaulted the PF members after he allegedly stoned a vehicle of an independent parliamentary candidate during campaigns for the September 20 General Election.
Copperbelt Police Commanding Officer Martin Malama has named the arrested youth as Chrispin Sabili a supporter of an independent parliamentary candidate in Roan Constituency.
Dr. Malama has told ZNBC News in Kitwe that the young man was arrested Wednesday night when he allegedly assaulted twenty-nine-year old Brian Mulenga a PF cadre, who sustained a swollen upper lip.
The Copperbelt Police Chief explained on Thursday that the political difference between the two youths happened when the PF cadre allegedly stoned a vehicle for an independent candidate, Dennis Mwamba who was campaigning in Roan Constituency.
Dr. Malama says the PF cadre, a driver by occupation, later lodged a complaint to police about the alleged assault.
He says police are investigating the circumstances of the incident while the suspect is in custody.
Meanwhile, Mr. Mwamba the independent parliamentary candidate has also lodged a complaint to police that some unknown people broke the right rear windscreen of his vehicle.
Dr. Malama says a complaint of malicious damage has been received from the independent candidate though no arrest has been made yet over the broken vehicle.

FORMALITY CHABE
# 1 Totally agree with you!!!! Who can arrest William Banda?????? He has all the support of plot 1.
Yes slap on the wrist! Ni Donchi mwebantu.
We are feed up with this animal William Banda. He thinks its always cha cha cha time. Please cage him and take him to Munda Wanga where he belongs with his family.
Why should William Banda report on his convenient time on Friday, and why should he decide what the police judgement should be? It is supposed to be the other way round, arrest that THUG before Bet Mushala & CB company pounce on him.
Ba kaponya are you not the ones who were shouting the loudest for the arrest of WB?Police summon him ati ni formality.Mufunanji ba mambala imwe kansi?
Who can arrest me when the person who lives in me is the president Bwezani Banda? By proxy I am the commander of this useless police man Zulu. Tell him that if he continues in his stupididdy, tomorrow he will be fired. Dont you know that I am in the centre of violence together with my president Rupiah Banda?
Any this is what we told the police to make a statement to appease Zambian. Pasopo imwee.
DID PEOPLE NEED TO SHOUT FOR HIS ARREST, THE POLICE WERE THERE AND HIS CONFESSION IS THERE ON RECORD, WHY DIDNT THEY ARREST HIM THEN IS IT LAZ THEY ARE SCARED OFF?
Gage the thug. He thinks he is Don meanwhile nikaponya chabe
William Banda is a thug. Just like Sata and Kabimba, his fellow thugs, he thinks violence is the solution. Let the law take its course!
WILLY BEHAVES LIKE A GOATS WILLY.CAGE THT PSCHOHANT
No need to lie to the public bcoz we know its impossible to arrest him. just wait for 20th sept batalamisokaÂ
Chigwileni Chikapondo cha ku Nyasaland.
William Banda’s mentality is no different from that of sata, Kabimba and an average Donch because they have a common background. Records are there for all to see. But at the end of all this wina a zalila. VIVA RB
Let see if the law will work on this william Blunder.
Police force is toothless the ***** will just be left Scot free.
Viva UNZASU. More altimetums are required. ZNBC must also be given one probably 24 hrs. They need to start covering other political players as well. HH feels ophaned. No Post no ZNBC mmm. Marabish
william banda behave yourself chikamba naukula.imishishi bamubili ponse but you are behaving as a kid!!!!
The best Zambians can do is to declare this primitive baboon a public enermy and find a way of sorting him out with involving the police because they are also MMD cadres. I am pretty sure there are well abled zambians who can sort him out.

But kwena Zambia has gone to the dogs! Ka William Banda again terrorising innocent Zambians thinking this is UNIP era! The real arrest awaits this ka skin old man on 21st September 2011 when the DONT KUBEBA comes to fruition! Wapya iwe…….
#14 you right William Banda, Michael Sata and a certain man called Kamalondo. These were the thugs in the UNIP era!!!! The time of the vigilantees was bad. Though young by then i always remember how they were manhandling people at town centre. There was no nonsence. They used to bit like no mans’ business. This explains why Sata has never commented on the conduct of William Banda because he knows that they are the birds of the same furthers.
POLICE was meant for poor pipo william is free,He can only be touched after 20th sept nishi ba Sata pa state house kwasila.
Iwe fmc #17, Thats exacly the way to treat traitors! HH lied to Zambians when in actual fact he was sleeping with common and number one enemy MMD. Muzalila cheeee. DONT KUBEBA
Dis ***** chikala BANDA?nu body can believe dema raasclat dick head wah guh reach near di police force,for wat ? wit di boasting ona di ***** face chatting abot di fellow easterner.But anyway after a public out cry abot dis loose canon,is wen di police bwaay dem see wah gwaan ina di area.What a way of dealing wit a damn beast. Dema ***** wah guh bring abot chubble ina di contry.Cage dema BUMBO CLAAT
CONDUCT A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION AND LET THE LAW MUST TAKE ITS COURSE
Finaly this ***** will be questioned but we wonder what type of questions this dog will be asked bcoz police officers are scared that they will be sacked by President Banda should they mistreat him. Zambia has gone back to the dogs
“Summoned for a warn and caution statement”….. Over my foot! This is not the first time this man has caused chaos in this country. Our Police Service are a let down. They’re quick at arresting innocent citizens & too timid to nab thugs like WB jst because he’s close to RB. COWARDS!!! Ba buju service needs overhauling after 9/11…..sorry 9/20 Ooops!
This is a test case for the police.
#5 Nostradamus has raised a very important question, ‘Why should a well known violent criminal be given an appointment to report to police at his convenience? Is it because he is william banda with powerful backing at the very top of leadership?
When William Banda reports to police tomorrow he wil be received with a salute ( maybe 21 gun salute) and will be offered tea. We cannot be fooled by these well rehearsed tricks.
As much as I detest William Banda and his primitive ways, Zambia has a constitution and it protects all citizens and visitors. So he is guilty until proven innocent, hahahahaha meant innocent until proven guilty. This is william banda so guilty is about right hahahaha.
This time around we will deal with this old, senseless, and illegal immigrant. This old animal should be taken to Mfuwe to be with his four-legged relatives.
Let William banda go to the copperbelt,he will be sorted out.Time is ticking,watchout
NO POLICE BOND FOR SUSPECTS ARRESTED FOR ELECTORAL VIOLENCE UNTIL AFTER ELECTIONS!!!…AND THAT INCLUDES WILLY ‘DEPORTEE’ BLUNDER……….
Police should lock up this criminal together with hiscounterpart chris chalwe.they dont need a public outcry to do the job.
how can you summon the “I G” of MMD?
Mr Mlakeni warn willy banda not disturb our party’s popularity evry one knows we are winning evening enemies like simutanyi have realised this fact.cage we really dont need him he tainting the name of our peaceful party.VIVA RB VIVA MMD CHWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
William belongs to PF. He is in the wrong party. This man must be punished without reservation.
William Banda for President! Watch this space.
Kekekekekeke……..ati William Banda for president!!! Chweee…chweee…..chweeeeeeee……….
Lock Banda up in cell
Ka willie naukula ntalamisoka. You behave before i come for you swine.
Police, u have failed to deal with this THUG WB. Allow me to sortout ka shi kulu.
William Banda could just turn out to be the MMD’s biggest liability, and just a few days before the polls. As for the Zambia Police, Iam sure it is not a situation they love to handle. As the saying goes “who will bell the cat” ?
It is true William Banda is violent.
I dont know why he is in chwee, chwee AND NOT in Donchi Kubeba.
William Banda is a Donchi Kubeba Material.
PF can poach the guy and he will flow with their agenda.
Let police deal with him if at all he participated in the violence.
If I was RB I would drop the guy just about now!!
Since when are suspects given ‘apointments’ to report to police ka Zulu catch colour?
THIS ***** AND DOG WILL BE SORTED OUT AFTER 20/9 WHEN MMD GOES OUT.
Put this thug in cells until after september 20th. He dosent deserve to be on the streets
PF cadres were asked to identify the people who caused violence and they couldn’t, so they mentioned the only name they could think of, William Banda. This agrees with the strategy by PF leadership to neutralise the dreaded influence of William Banda. Unfortunately this year no PF strategy is known to have worked effectively. William has a strong alibi, and the PF cadres who have reported will fail to prove their claim. On the other hand, Panga wielding PF cadres and their leaders Guy Scott, Kabimba etc were live on TV with violent messages and deeds. Police, are you sure that you have directed yourselves to the correct person?.
pipo of zambia, we are not respected by this ka foreigner william bamba ya bola. can some one pliz show me where i can get a sniper rifle to terminate this william bamba fool? am ready to do it. enough is enough, i can sacrifice just to keep zambia safe by getting read of the likes of ka george kunda, william bamba, ron shikipwapwa, dora, vj. bring the rifle am ready. zambia needs to safe and clean of greedy *****s.
THERE WERE 40 UNIFORMED POLICE WITNESSES, needless to say, & COUNTLESS OTHERS INCLUDING HON. MASEBO, so police, YOU’VE GOT INSURMOUNTABLE EVIDENCE WHICH YOU SHOULD NOW BE TURNING OVER TO THE PROSECUTORS & NOT SITTING ON IT!!!!!!!!!!
Hats off to Lusaka Division commanding Officer Mhlakeni Zulu Police Chief for his brave in summoning this THUG and MORON MMD Lusaka Province Chairman William Banda for causing violence in Chongwe.
If you ACT like this as you did to MMD Chalwe (when he was involved in beatings of Journalsts), then you will get the FULL support of us Zambians everywhere.
Even RUPIAH Banda can get more votes and WIN the elections. The problem is when the POLICE seem to be condoning the MMD violence!!! This has to stop!
#48 the zambian,
Just TERMINATE William Banda back to Malawi (as he is a foreigner), and Ron Shikapwasha back to his job as a pilot (Zambezi Airways wants pilots currently) and KUNDA needs to be terminated in LAZ and PRISON (as he has committed FRAUD and corruption by abusing his power and misusing the FAILED constitutional review process).
cage the character once and for all!!!!!!!!!!
BA POLICE NI BA JALA
Just arrest William Banda .MMD cant you see that he is not adding value to our modern politics. It is multpartism we are doing now. This is the problem of recycled politicians.
I like MMD, but William Banda is really tarnishing the image of the MMD. Not sure why the President has not realised that William Banda is actually not doing him good. The man is actually adding to reducing the votes for the President because of his barbalic utterances and conduct. Can someone advise the President wisely about William Banda. Before we know it Zambia will be in chaos all because of one foolish big man William Banda. This man is actaully not adding any value to MMD but just destoying MMD.
It’s appropriate time to make some plans for the long run and it’s time to be happy. I have read this submit and if I could I wish to suggest you few interesting things or advice. Perhaps you could write next articles referring to this article. I desire to read even more issues about it!
