This comes hours after the PF under their official Facebook page called Patriotic Front – PF suggested that the former ruling party would hold a nation-wide protest starting from Robert Chabinga’s house.



The post came hours after Given Lubinda and Raphael Nakacinda with their team held an emergency central committee meeting yesterday.


Musamba has since ordered all commanding officers and operational units across the country to remain on high alert, conduct proactive intelligence led policing and take firm but lawful action against any person or group that willfully seeks to incite, organise, or perpetrate violence or disorder.



“commanding officers must ensure quick response capabilities to preserve peace and protect law-abiding citizens,” he said.

The police boss further warned that those found wanting will be arrested and prosecuted in accordance with the laws of Zambia.


“Let it be made abundantly clear that while the right to peaceful assembly is guaranteed, it must be exercised within the confines of the law.”



“The Zambia Police Service will not tolerate any actions or rhetoric aimed at undermining public order and the safety of citizens. When law enforcement moves in to act, those responsible should not cry foul, as their conduct has clearly shown intent to cause public disorder. The Police will act firmly and decisively,” warned the police leader…https://kalemba.news/politics/police-boss-warns-lubinda-nakacinda-and-team-against-countrywide-protest/

  1. In a normal functioning democracy, protesting is allowed. When he was opposition leader, Hakainde used to protest all the time. There was this time he held a protest alone, holding a placard with demands to government to reduce prices of fuel and mealie meal, and telling them to stop load shedding. There are videos records to show this. Zambia was then a truly democratic country. Voters are comparing the before and after.

    COPY AND PASTE SOUTHERN PROVINCE.

    REJECT TRIBALISM, CORRUPTION AND OPPRESSION.

    UMUFULO PA MUFULO.

    VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.

      You are a dimwit who don’t understand why those problems persists. Neighbouring countries like Angola which produces oil, Petrol prices are high. Demonstration?? The more maize the farmers will produce, It will automatically reduce the price of unga.

      For electricity, too much dependence on hydropower.. Change that to wind turbines in addition to Solar power.
