UPND AND TONSE ALLIANCE CADRES CLASH IN LUNDAZI DISRUPTING YOUTH DAY CELEBRATIONS
By Miniver Maluba
Lundazi, March 12, 2025/ ZANIS—- In an unexpected turn of events, the youth day commemorations in Lundazi District of Eastern Province were curtailed after suspected youths from the ruling United Party for National Development ( UPND) and Tonse Alliance clashed forcing dignitaries to flee from the scene.
The Tonse Alliance youths who accompanied Lundazi member of parliament Brenda Nyirenda arrived shortly after the programme had started at Lundazi Boarding Secondary School which angered UPND youths who felt somehow intimidated by the rivalry group after they arrived at the venue.
The situation then turned into a scuffle with the youths from both sides throwing stones at each other .
Police tried quelling the situation but their efforts failed as pressure from the embittered youths mounted forcing the District Commissioner, Marjory Banda, the Council Chairperson, Golden Tembo, the MP Brenda Nyirenda, heads of government departments, and all the attendees within the school hall to scamper in different directions for their safety as stones continued to be pelted by both rivalry youth groups.
At press time, the venue was empty as UPND cadres ran in pursuit of Tonse Alliance youths.
Some windows have been shattered at Lundazi boarding school while a number of people are reportedly injured in the scuffle.

Let us fire these idiots. They think they own Zambia. I am happy that people are fighting back now. They need to defend themselves by any means possible. Whoever is sending them or tolerating this nonsense is the biggest idiot of them all. Stanyoko to the sender.
God bless Captain Ibrahim Traore.
Vote wisely in 2026.
This nonsense must stop forthwith.
There is no sense in violence.
The contestants are not genuine if the engage in hiring panga and stone throwing youths for the sake of getting into office for their own benefit.
Get wise and buy ideas, not fights.
The Nakachinda mentality of provocation. But the good thing now is That, all wrong doers will be on their own as they face the law if they break it. So if there as such ugly scenes then The POLICE have some work to so! It is as simple as that. Bushe kuli nefyakulandalanda apa.
Bamwine bakateka besu ba President of the Republic of Zambia. His Excellency President HAKAINDE HICHILEMA balilanda kaleeee!. You break the law, regardless of which party you belong to or your status in society, you are on your own.

So if there is such ugly happenings or scenes in Lundazi then The POLICE have some work to do, so that abena Seon Tembo can be helped together with his people who hammered him durring his fire tender protest. I don’t even know if he finished the protests since all in total he said were supppsed to be 42 but after bamuma kuli be PF cadres he even became confused
Balimutinika, AYA NAKULI IWE BOSS IWE !
But if anyone breaks the law, the law will deal with him. It is as simple as that. Bushe kuli nefyakulandalanda apa.

UPND is a terrorist organisation. It has been so from the time the man took over the Presidency of the Party..the Mapatizya Formula and the red Berets Militia.
After 2021 , the violent militia tried to be low, but they have been there, always with us, just under the surface..and when a bye election is competitive, they resurrect and Violence rears.
Violence against MMD prior to 2011, Violence against PF after 2011, Violence against everyone after 2021. That’s UPND-
A terrorist organisation.
After 2026 it should be banned from politics . Period.
Keep dreaming.
@bizak
When the Socialist Party or Citizens First Party shows some potential that it will win a bye election, then there will be violence in that area..and it is so for other parties.
The only place where there won’t be violence during elections in Zambia is in southern Province! And to some extent North Western Province. Because the ‘terrorist organisation ‘ masquerading as a political party has 100% chances of winning.
Elsewhere it causes violence. And as per behavior of terrorist organisation like Hamas, it plays the victim card!
This matter is very simple and there is nothing to alarm anyone here. The simple mistake was with the police, they shouldn’t have allowed this Tonse group to come to the venue when the dignitaries were already seated and the meeting had started. We know the tactics of the opposition, these things were pre arranged, the aim of coming late was to come and disrupt the meeting and cause much confusion and then paint the ruling party black. Equally the MP was wrong, why coming with cadres at a national event and he could not even control his cadres, did he really need to be accompanied by cadres as he came to attend the Youth Day celebrations? I don’t think it was necessary, the man just brought confusion and had achieved his goal, shame.
