DEPARTMENT of National Registration , Passports and Citizens registrar-general Matthew Nyirongo says security personnel in Shangombo have intercepted a truck allegedly ferrying 270 Angolan refugees to obtain National Registration Cards (NRCs).
The refugees were allegedly being ferried by United Party for National Development (UPND) officials.
Mr Nyirongo said a truck carrying over 270 Angolan refugees from Natukoma refugee settlement in Shangombo was intercepted last Thursday by security personnel who were alerted by Patriotic Front (PF) supporters.
“I can confirm that security personnel and our officers managed to intercept a truckload of Angolan refugees who were on their way to get NRCs and were later scheduled to get voters’ cards,” he said.
Mr Nyirongo said the Angolans were in the company of UPND officials, who had allegedly organised the whole trip.
He said investigations have been instituted and currently the registration centre official in Shangombo is under investigation while the centre will be re-opened.
Mr Nyirongo, however, said no Angolan refugee was issued with an NRC because the whole plan was not fully executed.
He urged members of the public to be on the look-out for foreigners who would want to illegally acquire NRCs using Zambians.
Mr Nyirongo warned that it is a serious offence under the laws of Zambia to aid a foreigner to acquire a national identity document such as an NRC.

DESPERATION FOR POWER: Gods time is the best UPND u will rule at Gods won free will u can not force matters…
This is a very bad lie or poor propaganda. There is no truck that can carry 270 people. This Nyirongo (an Easterner and a PF cadre) is lying through his teeth for PF.
Iwe Nyambe, a super link can carry upto 600 people
270 People in a truck! Truck and trailer and trailer and trailer etc. Mathematics should be compulsory otherwise bafoons may believe anything!
again ba panga story ubufi fye ubwakunya
You mean upnd is that powerful such that they contral office of NRC & voters registration personel despite not being in government? pure propagander. 10yrs ago a double ophan causin who was schooling in Zimbabwe turned 16yrs and came back to zambia to get an NRC,both her late parents were zambians. Despite this girl having a zambian birth certificate,she went through scrutny,she was only given an NRC after getting a later from the chief and documents from her late dad’s workplace. its not possible oposition to get NRCs but the rulling party.
sir George, this is a 50-50 story. The registration officer will act according to the situation which includes bribery. There are Congolese football players who have obtained green registration cards without a problem
Cadre activities are as cheap as their view of politics. Just campaign well. There ard enough voters in Zambia to legitimize the results. UPND is not in power. Watch those PF cadres. They just want to cause confusion. That is what they know best. Wake up. Democracy means sell expression and not being told how to think and what to do by another person. Just vote for your favourite candidates.
It is true both PF and UPND have been mobilising cadres to register as voters, they even ferry them to regitration centres(civic centres) in minibuses and vans, I have witnesssed this myself, but it depends on the elligibility of cadres you have mobilised. UPND in Shangombo mobilised unelligible or wrong individuals that is the dilema they found themselves in.
Boza! PF govt is responsible for refugee camps. they are all PF cadres masquerading as PF officials. why cant they name the criminals then so that everyone confirms.
Ba nyirongo how much have been given by pfoolsu to lie like that?.Muleumfwako insoni
Naimwe ba Sir George mulimbutuma ya muntu Zoona. What is it that can prevent UPND from mobilising Angolan refugees to come and register as voters? For your own information these people used to live side by side with each other, its only a selfish white man who drew those bounderis. Across all zambia’s borders zambians have got relatives in all neighboring countries. I feel sorry for all political cadres. Lyashi lya mufungu fungu.
Ba Tumfweko, I’m sure ba pf nabamilishamo ishingi sana.Why didn’t u publish about those foreigners brought in by pfool to acquire NRC and Voters cards? mulei welamo.This is impossible for an opposition party to do such.
270 people in a truck?????, that’s real”””””’
lets not vote HH Zambians. Lungu is evil but less evil than HH. I have never heard of HH being associated with light. Whatever he does will always be associated with evil to some extent. What kind of a leader is this?
And which church does ECL belong to. I know HH as an Adventist. What about Mr. ECL. Someone answer me please.
@manyumbi, HH is a satanist and pretending to be SDA
one edger with the instrument of power gbm in.back to hh,s church its nt true that hh is sda he is ………unless u telll me that the sda are also the ……..of this wolrd
@manyumbi I know his perternal grand father was a member of reformed church in Kalulushi
we know that this is wat pf ar doing and they want to turn it to upnd, useless chap naba mulishamo fye an oposition with a truck. iwe sangwapo just get autu
lets be realistic, what kind of truck would carry 270 people without raising suspicions? sound like propaganda…..
NO TRUCK CAN TAKE 270 People Even The Best AND BIG Coach That I Know Travelling Between Zambia And SA (ALUANI COACHERS) TAKES ONLY 72 PASSENGERS
One of those lies frm always a ruling party;) today is upnd tomoro DF what more8-):D
who do you think is more morally upright between HH and ECL? i think if HH has bonked women in his entire life ,he can still count them with fingers on one hand,if not only one,what do you think of lungu? HH has been married once to his current wife,how many wives has ba lungu married and devolced? currently i know 4,so to God his current wife he is commiting adultery,because bana Tasila still lives,though you hear pente pastors ati lungu nishimapepo,shimapepo when he is leaving an adulterous life? all hh’s kid where mothered by his current and childhood wife,inga balungu nabamumpanga bonse epobali. HH has never been a drunk,inga balungu? you can go on and on but HH’s record is cleaner than Lungu’s. just to give you a clue Martin
you doubt that a truck can carry 270? how many times have we heard a vehicle carrying ten times its capacity causing accidents? what was the size of the truck?
Batumfweko ngamwamona ati ilyashi lyabufi mwilacita publish
upnd and hh will cry blood come august 11th. We wil not vote for Hakaivotela Humwine, these people they need to be taken care of,otherwise they wil bring confusions and they may even bring civil war.
kikiki so they were able to tell just by looking that these are being ferried by upnd. Can you name the upnd officials? For the first time in history of zambians politics the ruling party is claiming that opposition want to rig. Bane your time is up. This is panic mode. I warned the pf just before i defected to upnd many years ago that the day would come when they would be booted out. As we approach august you will hear such weird stories and signs of desperation. No amount of propaganda will deter the will of the people. Zambians are voting for change. Vote upnd
sir George@ are you sure you can defend HG? Lungu is believed to have stollen money from one man when he was a lawyer but HH from all Zambians during privatization. How many Zambians lost employment when HH sold companies? look at the blood shed in North Western when he sponsored fight with MMD?
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, NAMES, TRUCK MAKE AND REG WOULD HAVE BEEN STATED FOR ALL TO VERIFY.
THIS WHOLE STORY IS COOKED UP AS EARLIER STATED THAT PF WILL USE EVERYTHING IN THE DEVIL’s MANUAL TO DEPRIVE ZAMBIANS OF THEIR DESIRED LEADERSHIP. IT DOESNT END HERE, WE ARE GOING TO EXPERIENCE MORE OF THIS AND WORSE.
There is no justfication in the all issue no truck can carry such a number of people let us be realistic
THIS MAKES ME PROUD ZAMBIAN COZ IT NOT EASY TO CHEAT A ZAMBIA 75 PERCENT THE RESPONCE ON THIS NET WORK HAVE CONCLUDED THAT THIS CAN NOT BE TRUE,CHEERS!
Iwe Nyirongo, ur reporting z pathetic as ur party is. Wat pruf do u hav? Wat z da registration namba (number plate) of tht vehicle? Wat a purpoted report.
HH and his tonga party upnd are a great danger to our peace!!my heart bleeds seeing how these bantustan support their HH whom God has exposed clearly that he is a satan1st!!NOTHING GOOD COMES FROM HH AND YOU WILL NEVER SEE OR HEAR HH SAY ANYTHING GOOD ABOUT MOTHER ZAMBIA!!HH WOULD BE THE HAPPIEST SEEING OUR BELOVED COUNTRY ON FIRE!!this man is not rich as he claims because a rich man like ALIKO DANGOTE OR MOISE KATUMBI cannot be despetate for presidency like HH!!!PLEASE VOTERS LETS RETIRE HH ON 11/08/2016 SO THAT PEACE MAY PREVAIL ONCE MORE IN ZAMBIA!!ONCE HH LOSES FOR A 5TH TIME,AM SURE HE WONT STAND IN 2021!!!PRESIDENT EDGAR LUNGU IS BY FAR THE BEST THAN HH!!
@sir george are you God to be judging? Where you always there taking pictures and counting how many women HH has bonked for you to know the number? We hear he is bonking one maureen is that not adultery? I know you will brand it as speculation but you are also speculating! ECL may not be 100%upright because he is just human just as your HH is. Talk about the issue at hand rather confusing pipo by diverting to morality! It is possible 270 pipo can be ferried in a Fuso fighter truck or a mitsubishi mwamba Luchembe truck if you know it.
pf registered malawians
Ka HH taka fyala nika chibola
Hahahaha! How gullible do you think Zambians are? How big was that truck which can accommodate 270 people? It’s a blue desperate lie to tarnish Kachema’s winning name!
Desperation for power UPND please bola panshi.
those who believe that a truck can carry 270 people are very dull..pf cadres have just shown how poor you are at analysing issues.what a shame.
Fark..I hate dull sons of b-ches..u farkers r bringing the country down..who can believe this boo-sheet without even giving it thought..anyways FCK mj banda, fck eddy, FCK martin,FCK manix en if u down with pf FCK u too..am out!
