Police in Kitwe in full riot gear fought running battles with residents of the city who trooped to the city center to protest against the move by the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ ) to seek court injunction restraining media houses from announcing the September 20 tripartite elections results.

ZANIS reports from Kitwe that the protests started from Wusakili township this morning at around 08:00 hours. By press time the protests have spread to Chimwemwe and Chamboli township.

The Town center and Chisokone market have not been spared in the fracas causing most shops to close down prematurely. Many of the unsuspecting shoppers were forced to return home for safety.

Efforts to get Provincial Police Command for a comment on the matter failed by press time.

Meanwhile, Old Nakadoli market in Chimwemwe Township has been gutted by unknown people for unexplained reasons.

Police sources found at the scene and marketers , alike, could not out rightly say the reasons for the gutting of the market nor connect it to the protests.

By press time, the police district command had ordered its officers to comb the affected areas to maintain peace.

Several vehicles on the Ndola- Kitwe dual carriage way have been damaged by the stone throwing protestors.

    VIVA SATA our New President. work for the Zambian people.

  7. Shame on my country. we need peaceful change. What do gain burning mkts etc. I can see zambiain have not have a feel of conflict. They can and see for themselves.

    • A lot of people died so we can have this freedom and some people treat our freedom with contempt. our grand fathers gave their lives so we can have a voice and you refuse to fight and to uphold that freedom??? as a citizen if you cant fight for that then what is worth fighting for?? we need a London style organisation here, our vote = our voice it will be robbed and silenced… this MUST not happen.

    • lilcaiuuw on August 30, 2011 i like my personality,? because i am? a? really happy person and i love to smile and? make other people smile with me , kisses from Peru love youu

    • jedudulex on January 15, 2010 Sure, buy a cheap car from a country that hates Americans more than the al-Qaida. Korean limits all American imports to their country but we accept all their crap thus adding to our National debt. Buy American? and keep America financially strong. Remeber: Kia in Korean means BIG AMERICAN LOSER

  8. Shame on my country. we need peaceful change. What do gain burning mkts etc. I can see zambiain have not have a feel of conflict. They can try and see for themselves.

  11. Umm, we need more, bigger and better organised protests than this… we need something that’s going to shake them a little and garner international coverage. All this delay is being orchestrated to test the ‘water’ and gauge the mood of people to see how they would react. They are hoping ‘docile’ Zambians after all the whigeing and complaining in their own houses they will retreat in their slumber and tomorrow will be business as usual. How about you head for the mines and all businesses run by foreigners and burn a few of them… this will rouse their attention a little and start paying attention and eventually stir them to action.

    • this ***** is in Australia calling for bigger riots and destruction of property. F*C king coward. People will get hurt and you are thousands of miles calling for riots. I hope you family back home gets caught in it you retard

  12. This is what happens when you ignore the real concerns of the people and throw respect and decency through the wind.
    The ECZ throw its inefficiency has allowed the situation to degenerate into what we are now witnessing.
    We will hold all those that are responsible for this to account.
    Zambia is much much bigger than rupiah and mambilima individually and or combined

    • dtamsjer69 on October 24, 2011 I just got my iPad 2 and I am totally blown away. My MacBook pro is sitting in the corner and I haven not missed a beat Glad I haven not bought it and got it For FREE, my cousin received his ipad 2 for free too lol. The web address, if I remember correctly, was: freeipad2giveaways.info

    • zeonwnzr5291 on December 22, 2010 I have had an Edge for a year and a half now and I love it. The backseat is the most comfortable and the heated seats are nice. One thing I wish it has was A/C seats, but it doesn’t matter. Great buy and I do give 2 thumbs up to Ford for making the Edge. I will reccommend the Edge for those that do not want a car that is overpowering, but want a crossover or SUV.

  14. Fellow country men and women, remember that for decades we have being harboring refugees the so called IMBUTUSHI, BAKIMBIZI, etc from some countries in our region. Now if we have been the safe haven to these people, where do we run to if we put our country on fire? When the owners of the countries we could run to sought refugee here. After all none of the victors will take care of the loved should you loose your life.

  17. So its now gotten to ‘jambanja’ Zimbabwe style, all those trips to Zimbabwe were about learning how to terrorize none supporters, shame! Let the people be ruled by a leader of their choice.

    • laavkava on June 8, 2008 lol this looks like a lexus from 2001. i wonder why USA always accused japanese of copying and now americans are blatant copying japanese designs from aesthetics to technology hypocrites

  18. We Zambians wont let a few disgruntled people ruin our country by clinging on to power when the will of the people is very clear. ECZ announce elections or Zambians wont be as peaceful as they are known to be. Dont test our patience.Announce the results or we will take to the street and chase your investors

    • IronReviewer on October 20, 2011 21 beacuse it has a mix of adventure, skill, entertainment, and romance. Great movie that could be a great game!

    • mrkedurid200 on March 1, 2011 @Cargo1273 And why is the Escalade worth $20,000 dollars more than a Naviagtor (im talking in Canada, may be different in USA). because up here, the price for a fully loaded Navigator is less than the base price of an Escalade, and more what?? A smoother ride?? i dont think so, the Navigator has IRS which makes it pretty freaking smooth altough if you choose the 20 rims it does reduce the ride quality a little bit as it would with all vehicles.

  22. Fighting is not the reason of solving problems pipo be calm and be good,,,fighting will not help us…we hv one zambia if we distroy it where can we go…shame on us zambians…

  23. 48HRS ENDED @6am,Results PLZ!!CRY MY BELOVED COUNTRY–Why the PANIC &black out Ba ECZ.Leaders who cheated Zambians by not giving them or enacting a new constitution-BILL OF RIGHTS,Vote them out and those who amended the Anti-Corruption Act clause 37 to steal -Bloody thieves!! Shame,the same leaders who cheated zambians are now begging for VOTES from the very people they cheated?Look at the ECZ blackmail..COUNTING 5mil votes to take two days?Thieves! If the director of ZESCO awards a big contract to his friend or to a company he controls ,that’s corruption!! why should the INCUMBENT,an interested party/ presidential candidate continue being president,controlling KEY institutions including the ECZ up to the election day?And you expect a fair result? THE CONSTITUTION NEEDS TO BE REPEALED

  24. No cheating and stealing this time, we all know who has won, PF! Don’t feel shy about vacating state house, it belongs to he/her who has the people’s mandate. KK vacated gracefully after spending so many decades in that house.

  26. You SOB can you please announce the results, its clear and evident enough that MMD-Rbish has lost this time, accept and return to the farm mambala. What kind of democracy where you restrain media houses from announcing election results?

  27. VIVA PF AND MANY THANKS GOD FOR ANSWERING OUR PRAYERS, BECAUSE THE BANDA’S WHERE THINKING THEY OWN ZAMBIA AND THE PEOPLE. YOU SOLD FINANCE BANK AT 5MILLION USD TO FBN MEANING ZAMBIANS WITH MONEY CANT AFFORD TO BUY IT?? YOU DID IT A RUSH AS YOU AND DORA WILL BE ANSWERABLE FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE TO MY DEAR COUNTRY MAY YOU RIP WHATEVER YOU PLANTED….
    GOOD LUCK RB……

  28. BA RB U KNOW THAT U HAVE LOST BY BIG MARGIN AND YOU ARE PUTTING THE LIFE AT RISK.PEOPLE’S FEELING HAVE A LIMIT OF TORELANCE ONE IT REACHES ITS MAXIMUM YOU CAN’T CONTROL THEM. EVEN THE SO CALLED SECURITY PEOPLE WILL JOIN AND SIR WILL BE REMOVED LIKE A DOG.EACH BLOOD FLOWING OUT OF SOMEONE WILL BE UPON THE HANDS OF RB ,VJ AND MAMBILIMA.

    • wgrraidl22 on March 16, 2011 @Creolebway -continued if not greater than at least 3 of the attorneys combined at your firm. & probably at least 40% of the people you know or are related to you that struggle to get to disney or jamaica once every five years would trade lifestyles with me in a second.I turn my conscious off at my office until 5pm. Then I hit the links,the gym,hit the boat, dinner if i choose w a bottle of opus one (thats wine btw Creole google it)& I enjoy having the finacial freedom to do whatevr i want ;.}

    • TOROBUITRE808 on March 29, 2011 And are you sustegging that people just pay somebody whatever they ask just because they called and demanded payment? You can make an argument that not paying a debt is a dishonorable thing and in many cases I would agree that you are right. However, wouldn’t you also consider it dishonorable for some company to buy a bunch of debt for $.02 on the dollar and then start calling people demanding payment when they have no real proof these people actually owe anything?

  29. We are stil holding on….wapia munzi! SEE LATEST REUTERS
    Zambia’s Sata holds lead as vote count progresses

    LUSAKA, Sept 22 (Reuters) – Zambian opposition leader Michael Sata was holding on to his lead over incumbent Rupiah Banda as counting moved beyond a halfway point in the race to become the next president of Africa’s biggest copper producer, the Election Commission said.

    According to the latest tally read out at the Commission’s headquarters, Sata had 639,787 votes compared with 542,362 for Banda. The figures were based on results from 85 of the country’s 150 constituencies. (Reporting by Chris Mfula; Editing by Ed Cropley)

  30. If its MMD leading they could already announced the results even without finishing counting the remaining few contituents. Whats up with that?

  31. MAMA IREEN YOU WILL HAVE BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS…YOU ARE A JUDGE CALLED UPON BY GOD AND THE PEOPLE…DO THE RIGHT THING…ABIDE BY PEOPLE AND THEIR VOTE, THE ONLY VOICE THEY HAVE…NO REGRETS, NO MASTERS-LET THE PEOPLE BE YOUR MASTER…JUST DO THE RIGHT THING…YOU PROMISED 48HOURS…DELIVER MAMA IREEN

  32. MMD bloggers this is what you were busy flighting for by insulting Sata and calling him all sorts of names….shame on you….ECZ is State House button controlled….. Banda you have a choise Zim or Malawi…..VIVA PF VIVA SATA

  33. we have already seen the results through PVT and all the results have been posted on all polling stations. MMD should stop dreaming about what percentage is in rural or urban area the fact is that PF has done better this time even in rural areas. you are behind 

  34. Where is that IDIOOT AUSTARLIAN ENGINEER ,I lve in SA and i saw with tears what is happening home.Change is good in Life,Would you walk free if you shot a chinese in china?***** ,next time watch your mouth,Kaunda accepted and he has not only the respect of Zambians but Africa as well.

    • aealspxrt02 on October 20, 2011 i think rambo should be made into a video game because it was a very popular and exciting movie that would very fun to play. i think this because he snipes, sneaks, and ambushes people. this would be a high selling game.

    • SeanChapin1 on June 24, 2011 I have tears winlelg up watching this one of the best It Gets Better videos out there. Thank you for putting so much dedication into this video, I believe it will change lives for the better.

  36. Ba mmd mulimbe bamambala-in the first 33 count by ecz the difference between Sata and RB was 72,877. (MC:265843-RB:192,966). And now, the latest with 85 constiences counted, the difference is 97,425 votes (MC:639,787-RB:542,362). As can be seen, MC is actually improving.Anyway lets wait and see………………….

    • krndea326 on September 4, 2011 I just had a baby girl about a month ago and so I love that they offer beautiful organic burp cloths. The bubblegum chocolate mouse colors are absolutely adorable. I love that their products are organic because we are a green family as much as we can be.

    • Joefest99 on March 10, 2011 Call me crazy, but I bveeile that you should be obligated to pay back what you borrow. I racked up a bunch of debt in college and didn’t settle but paid it back in full. I actually went hungry and set the thermostat lower than I would have liked in order to do so. I know some deadbeats that settled for less than what they owed but not me!But I’m the kind of guy who paid for my own college, even thought a family member offered to pay it. Sadly, I don’t think there are many people like that.

  38. I’ve just checked the ECZ dictionary, it says verify means manipulate. So when they say they are waiting for verified results, they actually mean that they are waiting for manipulated results.

    • MyFreeProductSamples on October 14, 2011 @Thekissfamily2 That’s funny. Yeah it’s lltite random free stuff like that when you just have to say Welp, it was free!

  39. I’m skeptical about these numbers and where they are headed. 85 out of 150 is more than half of the constituencies (~ 57%) but the vote count is still around ~ 600k for the highest. Now we were told we had 5million registered voters. Assunming 60% turn out (that should be around 3k votes). I mean where are the rest of the votes? I know the rest of the candidates are sharing around 1% spoils, may be with HH sitting at around 16%. And the votes counted so far are urban ones where there should be many more number of voters registered. Now don’t tell me the remaining 65 constituencies hold the rest of the votes and thus when they start trickling in Sata will be overtaken… note that I’m neither PF nor MMD, but an interested citizen sick of status-quo with the future of the country at stake

  40. RB & Mambilima have done a Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Osaulula, Donchi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Kubeba!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Makani yabeja!

  41. So its now gotten to ‘jambanja’ Zimbabwe style, all those trips to Zim were about learning how to launch a brutal campaign of how to terrorize, intimidate and attack none supporters, shame! Let the people choose a leader of their choice. Malabishi!!!

  42. If you mum says lunch is at 12:30 and by 1pm, there is no food on the table even though she is in the kitchen, go and set the house on fire and that of the neighbours, that will teach her.

  43. INDEPENDENT OBSERVER
    The problem with you is that you dwell too much into personalities. You are also into praising yourself bla bla bla…..be civilised enough. Fred MMembe runs a successful private newspaper that has done its best to inform the zambian people just like Muvi tv is now a defacto national broadcaster..
    If you really believe in MMD policies, why are you an economic refugee out there in the WEST!!
    be REAL!!! I WILL END HERE FOR NOW

  44. I ask all peace loving Zambians to remain calm and wait for the official results to be announced.May the will of God prevail in the Zambian elections.Remember unless the lord appoints a ruler they that rule-rule in vain.Rioting and violence have never solved any problem but rather escalate the situation.PF supporters elections results even in RSA take about 3 days to be compilled and released.So please remain calm.

    • Mudala don’t be pathetic. The electorate in SA is almost triple that of Zambia and the Electoral Commission in SA is impartial, they call the shots. They are rated one of the best commissions in the WORLD. and resulta can be seen on their site. Info flows. We are not talking about final results here..its RESULTS..

    • Neopetshelpur on November 7, 2011 Someone masseged me telling me they got too many random events guys, so please don’t go crazy with the generator.. they only got a warning tho no ban

    • nelahtyread on April 17, 2011 I work for a debt collection agency for commercial debt but here is why the economy needs debt collection agencies .for all you people that think debt collection agencies are scum what are you going to do when your own job has unpaid accounts receivables and they can’t collect then your own company has cash flow problems and then in turn can’t pay YOU?? and then you can’t pay your bills collection agencies are needed for the economy deal with it

  45. The MMD need to be sensible. PF has won in provinces/constituences with most registered voters. Therefore, if a revolt emerges, men in uniform will be out-numbered over and above. As things go RB has lost. Prepare a hand over speech and bid farewell to State House….MYSRIP.

  46. PEOPLE LETS BE REAL
    We may put SATA in State house today but our governance system remains the same. I only hope PF does not get 2/3 majority in parliament.
    1.are we going to see the appointment of incompetent individuals in cabinet
    2.are we going to see a bloated cabinet
    3.are we going to see PF cadres appointed to civil service and foreign postings
    4. is ZNBC/TIMES/DAILY mail going to continue being vuvuzelas for PF and SATA
    5.Are we going to continue seeing business transactions being run from state house

    I leave the rest to you

  48. #44 its because of the same rioting and violence that is proving to settle things in the 21st century…look as Iraq, Eygpt, now Libya…. thick big heads like Banda do not care that riots have started or that a Zambian is killed…. he is comfortable…. we need to change and revise the constitution so even Sata when his time comes to leave we will not be in the same situation like now…. VIVA PF

  49. I am not a Sata Supporter but if the man has won let him lead. MMD is stuck because they know they have lost and there is no way to rig this time. You can see that these goons put themselves first before peace in the country

  50. Uyu chikala Banda ewalelanda ati every one should accept the out come of the results nga nomba aletina inshi? Efyaba bakabwalala. Lelo lelo lelo in all fairness can you get Ka willian Banda to be your political adviser? I think bakalamba aya yena malibu yakuilombela. You are even boasting ati winning team are you sure iwe bwezani? Anyway we will not accept anything other than a win for PF. Whether you delay to announce the results we already know the actual figures ni dochi kubeba cabe.

    • Sims3fan2000 on December 15, 2010 @remembermorrison I love the elaascde ESV but I think I would rather have the denali instead only if it is longer and cheaper gas price and more mpg

  51. The problem with us ZAMBIANS is that we dont examine fundamental issues..we get exited easily..but lets give SATA 90 days and see…I hope ZAMBIANS have made the right choice..we shall soon see!!!!

    • wiargdrl22 on April 17, 2011 @Kenzofeis cont-in addition to that,this industry has made me rich.by age 33 i had a million dollar cake w a party ato celebrate because I had 6 zero’s in my checking account.I mean who wouldn’t love that man?If you walked a day in my $500 dollar shoes, smoked one of my cigars and hit the links at the club im a member of you would just chuckle if someone wrote to me what you did.Theif? Troll?sure I am pal!BTW I’m opening my own agency next month so if you need a job just shoot me a msg ok bud!

  52. # 46 All these problems are because of so many flaws in our constitution, the burden still remains on an average Zambian to redifine and reposition Zambia. Let’s work on the constitution; it only pains the tax payer to see what is happening in Zambia today. If there was no influence in so many organs of the governmant all the rubbish we are seeing now were going to be a thing of the past. We need true patriots who will be ready to uphold the constitution and remain true to tenats of democracy. I dream for that day when the Zambian flag will fly higher. Tatulefwaya ama ule, when they are not adopted on one ticke they change camp and so on. Bootlickers bye.

  55. southerns,lsk,cb,westerns,northerns luapulas they ve reject u chi rb.we are geared if it means kill de dogs we will.wasted money for campigne.

    • tpbreiawagle on November 7, 2011 Not to be a troll, but in my PERSONAL opinion I think neopets is funner when you don’t cheat ever 8 seconds. Its funner earning the Neopoints.

    • it’s a COMBINATION of all plesnoyian dancing like dtulua said it’s all for marketing purposes and when we mention HULA everyone associates this form of dance with plesnoyian dancing come on now stop discriminating why don’t u juss holla at her and put in a few requests about the hulaing if ur gonna be all anal about HULA & TAHITIAN booty shaking..geez get a grip so much for being POLYNESIAN:/

  61. @ # 56 dont forget that copperbelt will swallow your chipata ,luapula your central province northern your northwestern , lusaka will spit on western and compensate southern where hh has done you the donchi kubeba then do your maths very well if you can .

  63. No. 50 XY2. Its good you have conceded defit. Stop talking about “but lets give SATA 90 days and see” what do you want to see??? Cant you see that Sata has won??? DONT KUBEBA!!!!!!

  64. ECZ need to be updating people hourly as they go along. In communication you have to avoid complete media silence on sensitive issues like elections. This helps people not become agitated.

  65. there is time for everything and now its time for MMD to quit from power.pipo want change lets our wish be granted.they are asking for peace and free and fear election while things are not going in right way that are supose to be how could be peace work.light and dackness cant be sent together and peace cant works with dishonesty insuation sata has aready won this elections and if things went diferient then bloodshed is waiting for this country

  67. RB is just trying to steal time. Tomorrow he will be on stage early morning swearing in. He did this before last time, quick inauguration. The ECZ woman is just destroying her life, even if you got paid, do the right thing. 

  68. a lot of people died so we can have this freedom and some people treat our freedom with contempt. our grand fathers gave their lives so we can have a voice and you refuse to fight and to uphold that freedom??? as a citizen if you cant fight for that then what is worth fighting for??

  69. #39 Jigga, you are very right. I am also skeptical about the numbers. As you have pointed out the number for 65 constituencies should be lower than that of 85 constituencies. The ECZ is likely to come up with a lie that there were more voters in the 65 constituencies than in the 85. Fair play please.

  70. Mrs Mambilima, the PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN, please release the results NOW! You and your boss will be held accountable for all the riots.

  72. IF THEY DONT ANNOUNCE ALL THE ELECTION RESULTS BY 17HOURS. THEN THE WAY FORWARD IS TO SET ABLAZE MAMBILIMA’S RESIDENCE AND PROCEED TO MULUNGUSHI AND DEAL WITH ECZ OFFICIALS IN THE SAME MANNER Mr. chikachawishi william Banda was dealt with.

  73. Violence breeds violence. Violence affects a generation and generations to come. Let the counting be completed and then start celebrating. If the reason for celebrating is the departure of Pres Banda and not the dawn of new policies, then the celebrations may be misplaced.

  74. I have been exploring for a bit for any high-quality articles or weblog posts on this kind of house . Exploring in Yahoo I at last stumbled upon this web site. Studying this information So i am happy to convey that I’ve a very just right uncanny feeling I came upon just what I needed. I most indubitably will make sure to do not overlook this site and give it a glance on a constant basis.
