Great message, Mr.HAMOOOOONGA of the Zambezi police force.
Let us just let UPND cadres knife and beat up all opposition like they did in Kawambwa.
If any opposition tries to defend themselves, the Zambezi police force will arrest you.
Welcome to Hakainde’s animal farm.
Vote wisely in 2026.
Why put 5 zeros to someone’s name just to satisfy your psychic tribal Inferiority Complex disease? And the disease is deteriorating because daily he looks for any social media Article on which to post anything and everything against HH. Eeish…. the man is really tormented and cannibalising himself by his hatred for HH who doesn’t even care or let alone know that such a Hater exists
Why waste time warning them? They know already. Just don’t waste time throwing them in jail when they do that, we the Law abiding citizens get irritated with how slow you are to act to arrest these thugs masquerading as as opposition political party leaders. Where are their followers?
I remember very well after UNiP lost elections in 1991 specifically 1996 but eastern province remained strong hold. We saw the bloodshed in Mukaika, Mafuta and surrounding villages people using pangas and we were at state house , stationed as paramilitary c company which was known as as striking force, this is a true story is about the police and people they serve. Kate Commanding officer Hansingo got promoted because of what we did, Instead of showing ourselves as the uniform of brutality as the post news paper used to call the paramilitary we showed the people we were not to there to beat the people . We calmed the situation that could have far reaching,
Today , I read the statements by the police , I shudder to say this they are biased towards the opposition. We had IGs like Njobvu who used to have meetings with the opposition parties , Chiluba allowed them to do so. Chitalu Sampa, Machungwa held the home affairs ministers we never so the police so bad since I left.
I will be call old police officer but truth be known. Hatred breeds hatred. Violence breeds hatred and violence and one small incident will engulf Zambia and the peace that we all enjoy can evaporate in flames and no one will enjoy living in unstable country. The police officers nowadays like in communities and less in police camps these officers will become a target in unstable communities. The police force under IG Syandengo from state house and Raphael is a time bomb
