ACTIVISTS VOW TO GO AHEAD WITH ZESCO PROTEST
Lusaka Activists have vowed to go ahead with a planned peaceful protest at Zesco Headquarters, over prolonged hours of load shedding.
This is despite an engagement with police and Zesco on the matter, in which they have been advised to call off the protest.
At a media briefing in Lusaka, the activists have claimed that despite several engagements with the power utility, it has failed to address their demands, which include sticking to the load shedding schedule.
However, Zambia Police, Deputy Police Public Relations officer Danny Mwale tells Diamond News in a telephone interview that the police will not allow them to go ahead as this will disturb public peace around the Zesco premises.

The protest is unnecessary because if any thing we should expect a near blackout by August if miracle rain won’t occur.The rain was very inadequate and we cannot import water to fill the Kariba dam any where.Educated people must show case that they are enlightened and must exhibit such character.They should not be allowed to do such nonsense we need order in the country “ku angala uko” ala.
And parents or guardians advise your children not to be used by misguided chaps who could have been paid by irresponsible adults.Have you ever heard of protests on weather caused situation.If we have floods then you protes “at ya loka maningi mvula” we protest.Or too much sun shine we protest no . Children advise your parents to conduct themselves properly no in necessary protests “Balibe vo chita” chimpwena chi paisa.Mob psychology is bad some people even die.
These are hired guns that just want to destabilize the country for some political aims, anyone that will take part in this nonsensical and unnecessary protest will be doing so at their own risk and the police should ensure appropriate charges are slapped on those that will be arrested. Don’t give them charges that have an option for a fine. Th
