” You want to go in the Street, what if you find other people much stronger than you”
President Hakainde Hichilema, the President of the Republic of Zambia.
A protest is not a street fight. In a democracy you are allowed to protest, and then present your petition to the powers that be .
People who are against your position can equally protest.
Sadly our President has a warped understanding of what is meant by a Demonstration. According to him, it’s a street fight.
I have switched off . Can’t continue watching his presser.
Kwacha Kuku man, are you not tired of making comments without any meaningful analysis?? Dont you know that street protests can have counter street protests. Even in some advanced democracies we have seen police being called to stand between two protesting groups. So yes it is possible to find a much stronger counter protesting group in the streets. Did you hear HH call this a street fight?? Nobody forced you to watch the presser if you just wanted to hear what you want to hear!!

Again I quote the President of the Republic of Zambia ” You want to go into the Street, what if you find people stronger than you”
What is Mr Hakainde saying?
What message is he sending to his Cadres?
He is subtly telling the people who want to Protest that they will find stronger people out there who can beat them up.
And he is also subtly encouraging his Cadres to be stronger than the other Group and beat them up.
There’s no other way one can interpret what the President is saying.
UNZA students demonstrated freely to show support to the President..And people just watched them.
UPND Cadres have been demonstrating any how and any time to support the President..and there has not been any disruptions.
When the Oasis Forum and the Church tries to demonstrate against the Illegitimate and unconstitutional Bill 7, the President is telling them that they will meet stronger people out there!
And Praise Zealots can’t see that there’s something wrong with the President ‘s Statement.
The fact is that there are more people who support the amendment of the constitution than those who wish to protest against it. When the Oasis forum protesters take to the streets what should stop counter protesters from also taking to the streets??. HH was just politely trying to encourage civic dialogue while knowing that stronger counter protesters is possible. Who stopped counter protesters when the students matched in the streets?? Stop misinterpreting the President statement for your own selfish wishes and dreams!!
If the people against the Illegitimate and unconstitutional Bill 7 are in the Minority, then let them be. They can just be an amusement…a few Catholic Priests here and there with their Rosaries, and one or two members of the Civil Society Organizations… surely this can’t cause Hakainde and his government to be having Sleepless nights.
The Zambia Police Service can second one or two Traffic officers to control this minute crowd.
It shouldn’t it be a big deal , and get so worked up about the minority Oasis Forum if the majority Zambians are supporting the illegitimate and unconstitutional Bill 7????
Kwacha Kuku man, I hope you are aware of what Father Augustine Mwewa said. To quote, this father said ‘ You cant stop our Nov 28 protests, Mwachepa sana… We are ready to die’ Why didnt you see this statement as promoting street fights?? Suddenly when HH responds by saying ‘ You want to go to the street, what if you find other people much stronger than you??’ you scream that HH is supporting street fighting. Your biased comments are so transparent even for street kids to see!!
When UNIP, MMD and PF amended the constitution during election years why these people did not go on the street to demonstrate, could it they are hiding something here .

It’s a free country, Sir, do and write as you please. That’s the beauty about present day Zambia.
