Leader of the Copperbelt based group of small-scale miners, popularly known as the Jerabos,Cyme Kalobo has given the leadership of the United Party for National Development (UPND) 24hrs in which to retract suggestions that his group has joined the opposition political party.
Kalobo says the UPND was fishing in a dry pond on the Copperbelt and had now resorted to issuing what he said were false claims that his group has endorsed the candidature of Hakainde Hichilema when not.
“Look, at no time, did I or any or my associates meet the leadership of UPND when they came here on the Copperbelt. The reports that they have been circulating that we have joined UPND are a total fabrication and are misrepresenting our association.
We are giving the UPND leadership 24hrs in which to retract their claims, failure to do that, the Copperbelt will be a no go area for them” Kalobo said from his base in Kitwe.
Kalobo has advised the UPND to be civil and factual in how they conducted their politics and desist from dragging his name or the Small Scale Miners into their political ambitions.
“We have a lot of respect for politicians, so the UPND should ensure that the respect we have for them holds up and be factual in their conduct. Our team will rally behind President Lungu in the election and that is the collective position of the Jerabos” Kalobo said.
There was no immediate response from the UPND leadership at the time of going to press.

How does one party announce defection of ‘thugs’ and be jilted as such. Kwena hakaindeans Eli mwapwa. Budge bamitumibe dye uciwa cabupuba batini? You’ok soon start tripping over your long tubular deeks in you forlorn hope of attracting anyone and everyone. Calm down Ba pumbwe, your fall shall be known throughout the world for clinging to a serial loser.
Kakolwe calm down kikikikiki 😂 walya fire. Why such language? These are just Jerabo thugs who shouldn’t lead you to insult and have bp. These are factions if Jerabos who are being fed by pf. As usual what we will see from these thugs soon is violence against upnd when we enter copper belt and draw large numbers.
NEZ, lolo-lolo!!!!!! HH must be very careful when dealing with the Jeraboz. In our local proverb we say, “One must be very careful when killing a fly that sits on his scrotum” Otherwise HH will not step a foot in CB. Ask Miles Sampa how he failed to disembark from the plane.
Kikiki those Jerabos are not cb mune. It is the numbers in august that we will bring change. As things stand upnd can give pf copper belt out of pity and upnd can still win because bane change has swept zambia. Only people in denial like you will.cry like rb did in 2011. Stay strong
Ba upnd take things easy,do not rash.Hh must take things easy,u want to rule by misleading the society.mind u the battle belongs to JAH,be careful badala and mean well,leave LUNGU alone ,u heartless political party and tribelism party.
Aba ba Unprepared People Never Deliver are hard core tribalusts. Even at church level, they think SDA church belong to Tongas. Did you know that the current Rusangu University in Monze was originaly proposed to be built in Mkushi at a place called Musofu where Royal Highnsess Chief Chitina gave large track of land more than 60 hecters?
Are these the people you can put into power bamambala bakamuulyabo? As a stongy JERABO twakana
Gerabos are the un desirables of our society, thank God UPND has nothing to do with these rotten members of our community, as a matter of fact no political party should have anything to do with these rascals.
Eifwemumfwa fwebashisunda pakunya ati AMA JEREJERE (Jerabolze) no upnd in cb.
Have been to registrar of societies and pacra, i can’t find any entity by the name of jerabos, how can an illegal entity be allowed to operate in a country with laws and be allowed to issue statements even in the media? How can a legal entity respond to an illegal one? Tafile endelana ba cyme wesu.
Jerabol comes from the word Jere Boys, without rights not time to vote, by the way do in mates in Zambia vote, am so sad. if someone is pleased with the statement issued then i gat droughts.
