Jerabos apologize to President Hichilema!
Small-scale miners in Chingola have apologised to President Hakainde Hichilema following violent disturbances by some youth during his recent visit to the district.
The miners, commonly referred to as jerabos, distanced themselves from the unruly behaviour and pledged to work with Government in promoting peace and economic development.
The apology comes after an incident last month when a group of youth ran amok, damaging public and private property and stoning the podium where President Hichilema was addressing marketeers who had lost their goods in a fire.
The miners said they regretted the actions of the youth and assured the Head of State of their commitment to law and order.
Speaking on behalf of the miners, Sydney Mwila condemned the violence and said the group supports the President’s fight against illegal mining activities.

But what was the motive ,and why did you do it? One Catholic priest even celebrated on this incident that it happened.
So many innocent people have been arrested accused of stoning Hakainde. They are being held in several facilities around the copperbelt, and they have not yet been taken to court or even charged. Some are just minors. Several children are being held at Kamfisa prison. We were there recently to confirm their incarceration. I am appealing to NGOs, LAZ, international community, EU, our chiefs, Church bodies to voice out concern at the mass arrest and detention of children by this regime.
REJECT TRIBALISM, CORRUPTION AND OPPRESSION.
VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.
