People are sitting on the knife edge because of one Hakainde that KK referred to as different. KK feared for Hakainde as president and Fast forward Zambia is more divided than ever before. The shallow thinking Tongas are not worried of the effect that Hakainde is damaging their tribe.

“Even in UNIP era” he is proud to say. Slaves do get used to being enslaved and then go on to tell other slaves “It has been like this even with Master Welensky. Dont ask for change!”
He doesnt realise that Zambia was under a State of Emergency throughout UNIP’s rule and thats why gatherings were banned. He even goes on to invent some season for rallies from his imagination, so as to convince himself of his crazy thinking

Are you just reading something that has been prepared by Jack Mwiimbu? Or this is coming from your imagination.
You can have rallies all day, all week, all month, all year. Theres no law that restricts rallies except HH’s law.

Political rallies have a season that was closed by ECZ just before the general elections in 2021, yet to be opened by the same institution sometime in 2026. Even ECL is aware of this fact. During elections, the Police are engaged & not for free, allowances are paid out. Where will the money come from to pay them have pressing issues as a result of the drought to attend to. Having a peaceful rally in Zambia is not possible. Once beaten, twice. People not expect the Police to control panga carry cadres when their wounds are still fresh, some beaten, some killed some retired in national interest.

So it was right for HH to call for early elections and wrong for others to say the same. I’m sure you have at least a diploma and as such I expect you to use logic not emotions. Besides the law doesn’t talk about permits NO!!! The permit thing is a ploy used by those in government to suppress the opposition.

Put your money where your mouth is. Take the police to court so that they can be given an instruction from court to allow any rally to take place. Any police officer who will go against the directive of the court will be cited for contempt and will be locked up. Let them learn the hard way.

So right Lazy Lungu. Kambwili could only be arrested after he fell out with Lungu and HH has failed to arrest Gary Nkombo for Kachasu injection into a minor and Syakalima insulted the entire Luapula and hasn’t been charged like Munir Zulu

Our Police are not trained to maintain law. They are trained to be lapdogs of the ruling politician. They will do wrong things as long as they are ordered to do so by politicians in government. When have you ever seen our police arresting anyone from the ruling party? Only when there is in-fighting within that ruling party and the president gives an order for the rival to be arrested.
