Picture: Traffic Cops Impound Wedding Car Leaving Groom Stranded
Lusaka traffic Officers this morning caused a stir in Libala South when they impounded two cars in a wedding convoy leaving the Groom and the bridal party stranded for hours.
Whilst the bride was waiting for her man to walk her down the aisle, intense negotiations where playing out as the cops refused to badge in and let go of the car.

Its just beyond humanity one has to want to blow up a couples’ most beautiful day in their lives. Thats why am saying these are PFs where intimidation is the order of the day, UPND cant intimidate since there is no Govt machinery it can use on citizens.

So when / if UPND come into power will all cops be sacked and replaced by “UPND” cops Or better still will the current rotten bunch become UPND supporters and undergo a morality transplant overnight?

Kikiki good question, there two times of corruption physical (money exchange, nepotism, favours etc) and morally. These cops are both ways corrupt, on moral grounds if a leader does not put his foot down to discipline them they take advantage of that weakness and do things their way – after all the boss is cool with it, the incoming Govt should be taking them to book and discipline them. Look at the gun shooting issues so far, is there anyone convicted yet, nope so what will stop another chap do them? So UPND Govt has to put a no tolerance to policy brutality then things like this will REDUCE.

mjb- We are to blame. Law says a vehicle cannot be impounded except where it is a danger to road users. We are quick to pay bribes. If all of us refused to pay bribes these ZP swine will not harass us anymore

The task of a traffic police is to search and empound any suspicious vehicle.
Ask yourselves these questions
1.what if the car was a stolen vehicle?
2.What if the car entered Zambia ilegaly?
3.What if the driver was unliscensed?
4.What if the car was not lisenced?

Common sense is lacking under the pf police state. Am sure further investigations will show that probably the groom or the bride are somewhat UPND or opposition sympathisers. Surely the police need to use common sense and be humane in certain cases. Surely they would have informed the groom of the need to impound the cars but then allow them to get married even if it meant the police keeping an eye on those cars. after ceremony then sit the people down and say we have a problemw with the cars. Please we are only human and there is no need for such disgusting behaviour

i wouldnt be surprised if indeed the editor of this website was that dunderhead kambwili. The quality of the articles and the bias towards pf leaves alot to be desired. I do not need to be on every online website because we have many others everywhere spreading the message . I am now concentrating more on ground work and doing alot of campaigns and strategic moves on the ground. I am currently in eastern province drawing up plans and strategies for the upnd. My friend change is here. I can feel it even in your strong holds.

All of you responding to this article are foools for sure. The one thing u shouldn’t forget is that law is law. Police can impound a car if it no fitness ,valid road tax or unlisecensed driver. If you are alone it is nomal but a wedding not?you thinks so bakoswe think properly.

Something which involve an individual you attack president Lungu instead of attacking an individual or institution you attack the president is it childish politics or jealous?

A road block in a residential thicket, this economy sure! Let the new IG work on these traffic officers, too corrupt. Let him enforce name tag wearing with man numbers and open up a complaint book at each police station were affected individuals should personally lodge in and sign off complaints against these officers, which in then should be periodically be inspected by the top police command. This I am sure will help bring sanity in the system.

December 19, 2015 at 8:59 pm
It’s not all traffic offenses that needs or rather should result in enpounding a vehicle. It’s just that most of us Zambians are not aware of the laws with respect to traffic and or road usage. There are offenses that an officer should only caution the drive .. like a faulty light or stuff like that. There are also offenses which attract a penalty like locking up a driver for example dangerous driving , other offenses are ones that requires a driver to pay an admission of guilty if not he or she will be taken to court. RATSA has to sensitive the people about the effects of breaking road traffic rules. They need to post online and or in the news papers the road traffic offenses and the punishment
for the offense caused by the driver. Not uyu umusebanya. Ba police naba RATSA be professional mumibombele yenu. Too much corruption Pa zed. Vote wisely next year

And this idiot knows this from stories?
Very childish.
About the storyline: “Can someone confirm for me if a wedding convoy legalises all illegal traffic offenses?”
Law says no person should hung from the windows or sunroof in a moving vehicle, but pamaweddings epo musamwa! Why? To condemn a fact without exhaustive facts is as stupid as hakainde proclaiming himself winner of the polls 15 months before anybody casts the vote.
