KALABA CONDEMNS TRIBALISM IN POLITICS, CALLS FOR UNITY
CITIZENS First President Harry Kalaba has called for a peaceful political environment free from tribalism, which he described as a harmful tactic used to gain political sympathy and create division.
The past week has seen a surge in tribal rhetoric online, particularly from opposition leaders such as PF Mfuwe Constituency Member of Parliament Maureen Mabonga and Lumezi Constituency Independent MP Munir Zulu.
Both politicians have made alarming statements indicating a readiness to engage in tribal conflict, raising widespread concern among the public.
In response to these divisive remarks, concerned citizens in Solwezi, North-Western Province, reported Munir Zulu to the police, leading to his arrest on Monday.
Expressing his opposition to tribalism, Kalaba took to Facebook yesterday, urging that not every political issue should be viewed through the lens of tribal affiliations.
“Can’t our politics be politics without towing the tribal lines? Must every issue be seen through the lens of tribal affiliations? Mine, is a resounding no!” stated Kalaba.

But what was the genesis of those so-called tribal remarks by MPs from the East? Why are you not addressing the video address of UPND cadres who threatened ECL and JJ. Not to forget the comments of Bruce Kanema from Northwestern Province warning ECL not to set foot in Northwestern or Southern Provinces. Why are you pussyfooting all this? Are you now scared? Come on, you can do better ba Kalaba.
Ba Kaliba, you have already missed the point.
The threats to your ka faza and JJ are because of what the two have been saying.
Did you not hear about the new snake in the nation and it’s plans? What has a faza been doing and saying in the recent past?
Now the threats going to the two of your role models arise from the fact that the people you are accusing do not appreciate the stance the police have taken. Hence, they are ready to take the law into their own hands.
Who is the source of this confusion? Your role models. Kindly take them for counselling, seeing they are childish
For once we have heard something sensible from Mr Kalaba….bravo
