A PUNCH-UP almost erupted on Monday between two United Party for National Development (UPND) councillors during a full Choma Municipal Council (CMC) meeting over a piece of land one councillor has obtained.
The altercation started when Kulundana ward councillor Jonas Munkombwe asked whether Jackson Makwamba, as chairperson of the real estate development committee, was in order not to declare interest in the debate of a piece of land he has acquired on Choma-Livingstone road.
This angered Mr Makwamba, who told Mr Munkombwe not to start “witch-hunting” because he would “soon” get what he is looking for.
The visibly annoyed Mr Makwamba, however, left the room and only returned after the full council meeting had finished analysing the progress of his committee.
The councillors were reviewing progress for various committees of the local authority.
“Honourable Munkombwe, let me warn you that witch-hunting is not a solution and it will not take you anywhere because I am not the only councillor who has acquired a plot,” Mr Makwamba said.
He returned after the meeting had started discussing the audit committee and upon his arrival, Mr Munkombwe rose on a point of order to find out if his colleague was in order to take his seat without apologising for issuing threats against another councillor.
“Your worship, I would like to find out if my colleague has something to say over the earlier statements he issued. Something like an apology,” he said.
Mr Makwamba was, however, not amused with Mr Munkombwe’s remarks saying he could not apologise.
“I cannot apologise. Honourable Munkombwe has started a war which will never end. The war has just started,” he said.
Mr Makwamba said many names of councillors are appearing on the list of people who have acquired land in Choma and he wonders why Mr Munkombwe has decided to pick on him.
“You and I shall face each other very soon. If you want let’s go outside and fight,” he said.
Mr Munkombwe, took up the challenge, got off his seat and made for the exit in readiness for a fight, but mayor Professor Mwaanga intervened in the matter and told Mr Munkombwe to take his seat.
Mr Mwaanga said there is no need to fight because the councillors belong to the same council.
“There is no need for us to start fighting. If we are to develop Choma, we need to be united because we are indeed one,” he said

instead of discussing serious issues, these good for nothing councilors decide to fight over land! hw can we develop as a country, development begins wit da grassroots en councils play a bigger role, but wit councilors like these ones i doubt!
Read the article again lamba bull.
Wish it was Zambian Parliamentarians who were this overzealous, in setting things right in this country, guess they got a lot to learn from these Livingstone councillors, bali ndwiii mu Parliament baliba buli nzinini mu mabasi, ni ye ye ye ye and pumping their bellies with water.
Did you read the article yourself? Is Choma now in Livingstone? Or are you trying, a usual, to skirt the UPND bafoonery?
Yes, there are serious matters to discuss. The accuser was in order to inquire whether his fellow counselor was in order not to have declared interest. Being chair does not mean a direct ticket to having the cream.
Instead of settling matters like adults, fyena ati “Tiye tuiponone panse”
What a total load of old rubbish for counselors!
People of Kalundama ward, 2016 vote in a PF counselor, he/she will go to represent you. Noti mukuiponwena pali plot.
Afternoon you infertile mosquito kakolwe , can’t you see me main interest was on the part were the chair of land fimofimo was being squeezed by one vibrant councillor, other parts in that article have been tempered with by tumfweko, the same way presidential running mate clause is being pfooled up.
You are in opposition fighting over ma plots what if you where in power what can happen and u claim that once yo messiah becomes a President things will change for better never politicians are same.
Typical of foolish UPND tHUGS and clowns who should never be trusted with Zambia.Elo chi chita nokukamba ati am not the only one that acquired a plot.Atase.Useless UPND
@ Hello Haters, thanx for ur concern, i have read en understood the article, during the meeting to discuss various programs of development, this two councilors decide to shift the attention to a more personal agenda, is that ok for u? or u wud have loved to see them fight so that those busy wit work could spend more time separating them than discussing? my point is they were disturbing those who were serious
Lambs boy, you are OK my man. It is @Haters who is hallucinating. He says parliamentarians have a lot to learn from these Livingston “councilors” in Choma Municipal Council.
Babwatabwatafye.

i mean to u?
Nez landapo is it PF fighting?
Clowns

I just love Livingstone city councillors,just recently they threw out their mayor , now setting things right amongst themselves, while other councils in the country with all the land wrangles it’s business as usual, wish they were in parley, that luanshya golf course land issue would have been dealt with swiftly.
Iwe learn to pay attention when reading. This happened in Choma and not Livingstone ala!!!
MA! MALWEZA!

i think NEZ’s facial expression will be classic post elections,after UPNDS’s wipe out in a yet again “tightly contested election” as they always put it when they sink.The story is in plain black and white but dellusional UPND “fans” such as yourself still manage to sugarcoat it.
Elders respect yoself nd youths wil respect

Tonga bull trying to rock horns.. typical undp conflict resolution style..
These are two stupid and corrupt idiots who actually need to undergo investigations for unexplainable mudders in the area, on innocent landowners. Shame upon you two idiots.
