CARITAS CHIPATA CALLS FOR BANNING OF POLITICAL PARTY REGALIA FROM NATIONAL EVENTS
Caritas Chipata Director John Mthadziko Zulu has suggested that political party regalia be banned from national events to avoid incidents of violence among political party cadres.
Mr. Zulu says national events like youth day, women’s day and Independence Day among others should be used to promote national unity and not division.
He says instead of parading political regalia; national colours should be encouraged on important national events.
Mr. Zulu has condemned the violence that left 32 window panes at the school hall at Lundazi Boarding School damaged.
He says findings by Caritas Chipata suggest that the area Member of Parliament, the District Commissioner and Council Chairperson had different camps thereby creating tension among their supporters.
Mr. Zulu has called for political maturity to differentiate between national and political events.
Problem is bad attitudes of our Political leaders including Church leaders for careless remarks against Government that incite some of weak Youths. There is nothing wrong with Political regalia.It for identity purposes. Women worn them but Peace was maintained. In Lundazi blame is the leader and Youths who arrived late just to attract attention.
I agree with CARITAS totally.
Our behavior in regalia is questionable.
We become militant and very violent intentionally or unknowingly showing off supremous or resistance. This ignites animalistic behavior overcome each other culminating into skirmishes.
