President Edgar Lungu says it is shameful for opposition leaders to fail to denounce violence perpetrated by their party youths.
President Lungu says he has noted that despite the opposition calling for dialogue and an end to violence, none of the opposition leaders has admonished their youths for engaging in violence.
He says as Republican and Patriotic Front President he has admonished his party’s youths engaging in violence.
President Lungu says the PF government does not want youths in the Country to waste their time by engaging in violent act nor allow themselves to be used as tools of violence.
He says he does not think it will serve any positive outcome for youths to engage in such a vice especially now when the Country is heading to the elections.
President Lungu was speaking during the ground breaking ceremony for the construction of an International Youth Fellowship (IYF) center in Chilanga district today.
And International Youth Fellowship Founder Reverend Ock Soo Park says once completed the IYF center will bring youths closer to Jesus Christ the son God.
And Youth, Sport and Child Development Minister, Vincent Mwale expressed delight that the ground breaking ceremony for the construction of the IYF center in Chilanga has come barely four days after the youth day commemoration.

Under the same violence, five bodies have been found this morning in lilanda badly beaten, faces disfigured, no ears, no private parts. Amongst the five one is a woman. This is the same area where a dead body of a woman was picked about 2 months ago.
just after pf cadres undressd a youth who went to attend youth day in her party regalia in the presence of vp, ministers and the men and women in uniform who ar now becoming to b cadres bcoz they ar always hungry (tabaleikuta). the shame is on u lungu.
well spoken Mr. President unfortunately most opposition leaders are shameless
I can tell you are still a hardcore PF!! Kikiki my man you stuck with Lungu like a tick on a dead dead dog!…. fall off before its too let there is still time b4 August!
This President is evidently not gifted even with basic wisdom! Who is in charge of this country? He is using Police as one form of inflicting violence on the opposition! He is actually fanning violence even by saying the empty words attributed to him above, what a waste of time and resources to have him at State House! Ca’t wait to see him cry..the way RB did.
PF cadres undressed and showed the nakedness of a mother, to him that is not violence? Please stop the bull**
Lungu said what he said because he knows zambians are stupid.
Zambians are so stup!d indeed. You can insult them and strungle them but they will still be loyal to you. I feel its illiteracy nothing else.
Who is in charge of this country kanshi can someone tell me.
SHUT UP! Are you not the author of violence, when you shit, you want someone else to remove your diapers?
Violance is initiated by the upnd and hh their leader.Lungu wants to terminate violance,but hh is embrancing it.Pliz hh be factual in issues affecting the nation.Hh can’t just lead us,cause he is a bad caribre.
Unfortunately for you the HH that you disdain so much is becoming your President in 17 weeks times. So if you feel so bad about, begin to pack your chattels and leave Zambia because you will always be gnashing your rotten teeth each time you see HH addressing the nation.
Have you been gnashing yours since Mazoka was dribbled by kafupi & vJ?
Mr Lungu…do really have advisors? That woman was stripped off her clothes by PF thugs in full party regalia and today you ve guts to condemn opposition parties really? Shame on you Lungu vision less president
I know someone who is leader of his party. He is Mr. Lungu and recently he was quoted as having given pangas to his party mates. Is it a coincidence or is there any relation with Mr. Lungu in this artical.
Does lungu have advisor indeed.
I am lost for words that such words can come from Lungu
Ati bwa NEZ? I think Edgar lacks something I just fail to put my finger on it but am pretty sure it has to do with how his brain is wired
JJB long time mune. Why so quiet mune? We are approaching elections and need your wise voice. What is new your side boyi?
Zambians are so stup!d indeed. You can insult them and strungle them but they will still be loyal to you. I feel its illiteracy nothing else. As for the president is it dementia that is really affecting him like this. Even a simple apology He has failed to give honestly. He loses nothing afterall. What a president!
edie has no manners not even bad ones. he is like an empty tin just making noise when it hits the wall (nkolonkolo kokokokoko)
It’s very sad to see that young girl stripped naked in presence of GRZ Police and you want women to participant in Politics HOW? to be stripped it cant never.
I agree with you. It’s just shameful our so called leaders just folded their arms like it’s happening in Afghanistan
Lungu ni saka
Mr President As Long As Non Of You Is Admiting Or Acknowledging That His Or Her Party Is Into This Dialogue Can’t Work. In Your Time Read Isaiah 59. Come Out In The Oppen And Admit. I Can Asure You If This Doesnt Stop People Will Be Afraid To Go Out And Vote Especialy Women And Youths. We Are Concerned As A Church
Changwa you are Commander in Chief please act. Your words are not inspiring as head of state, your condemnation of violent is always lukewarm when it is PF involved I would have loved if u came out strongly to direct police to arrest the perpetrators of striping that innocent lady. You a let down as head of state.
Lungu must be out of touch seriously because he’s the last person who should be dumping blame of violence on the opposition when it’s the opposition youths that have been clobbered Just show me one picture of a PF cadres who has butchered…. just one.
Ah! Ba JJB epo baba nangu ciwa?
Kikiki ha epo twaba utuma busy trying to survive my friend kabili ifintu fyali Lungula. Am more on Facebook nowadays getting fresh daily updates from HH and there more wider pespective of discussions. If am here mostly I just read comments.
The president should be strong like Buhari, because when he speaks Nigerians listen. Even when he won corrupt and crooked people were afraid. Not in zambia as if it’s comedy time on serious national issues.Violence can be stopped just by one word from the head of state. Late Mwanawasa only said ‘if violence continues then am not the president’. This was on his inauguration ceremony. At once all fightings stopped.
This man is a disgrace to our great nation.
Very stupid observation.Now you believe me when i say”if there is violence,blame it on the president”. Even if violence comes from the opposition,blame the republican president. If your head is not full of water but useful brains,you understand what iam saying.
Be truthful sir George…
I think our leaders are taking issues into their own hands.Corruption nd Dictatorship re feelin each other in this reign.I think ba Lungu should just shut his crap up,nothin he says nowadays makes sense.He’s a failure,a loser.
Does this man only take Jameson or he mixes with weed? People are being beaten in full view of his police and then he says the opposition is fanning violence. I think his epilepsy has taken its toll on him such that he sees things upside down. PF cadres have the guts to advocate violence at press briefings and yet he doesnt see anything wrong with that. God what did we put in state house?
President Lungu is Zambia’s president for everyone hence have more powerful weapon to stop this nonsense not opposition .
Wakeup mr president .Mwanawasa dint cry for opposition .
I can’t believe that the same opposition cadres are busy condemning the head of state. Guys man up and help the president unlike just condemning everything
Mr lungu God is watching yo deeds. . If I may ask u ba so called mr president, between u & the opposition leaders, whose got powers to stop dis nonsense ? I guess u overturn the advise dat is given to you . Judge yo acts ba lungu….
Tayayali(200160) HH BLESSES VIOLENCE – IT IS LIKE HEROISM
As a Christian, one does not look at justifying oneself of wrongdoing especially violence. HH never takes responsibility of the violence perpetrated by his cadres, rather he justifies evil act by accusing others especially PF.
I am not justifying the violence of PF, they are equally guilty and they should take responsibility as well.
However, HH treats the perpetrators of violence in his party as heroes and heroines. And those poor citizens who get beaten by his cadres are like infidels who deserve the wrath of violence for not supporting him. I am a victim of HH’s cadres’ violence and justified it.
For those among his cadres who get hurt in the battle or arrested, HH treats them like martyrs.
what can Joebulls say yes small minds indeed blaming da president once again folks wake up Upnd did da same in monze so why r u yep yaping u r amaze me guys u easily for get fast an eye for an eye damn
The state is supposed to protect its citizen and when cadres in full view of the police and Veep strip naked a young lady who is supposed to cry foul? EL or us the citizens? PF cadres are way overboard and responsible for that malicious act. Tell your cadres to behave Mr. president. Show us resolution and have them prosecuted. Kamba is like Scorpion Kadobi of old. Cage him.
I am sorry to ask but who is giving who pangas…how easily we forger it was a upnd vp who was recently arrested for training caders on how to attack with machetes…not only that possibilities are they were trained to shoot too because of rounds of bullets they collected…now if we had to bring the sad kwa goerge scenario…where 4 people died…who is likely to do such a thing? those body parts were definetly used for rituals…who would want to gain power..definatly not edgar..edgar is a God fearing man who already has power running zambia today…on th me other hand HH is not a God fearing man..wen we had national prayer he was the only one condemning prayer..qouting that people do not need prayer they need food..even if hh was not a manson he surely doesn’t recognise God
..and the bible clearly states. HE WHO SAYS THEIR IS NO GOD IS A FOOL…right now hh has refused to recognise the presidents cry for peace..hh will by no means ask everyone to b peaceful and orderly because thats not his nature..need i say more
Is this our President or is sir George ‘s dung,Pfools you should realize that every time the opposition evolves themselves in violence the state police are quick to tear gas and arrest the culprits, but its not the case when it happens in the hyena kraal
What the pf cadres did is a sign that some area are pf strong holds and pipo there have trust in this govt. please oppositions behave in such area of pf strong hold such lusaka, copperbelt, muchinga ,luapula, easten province, northern and now in addition western & north western provinces. these two provinces pf has also taken development that they have not seen before, good roads, more health posts , better schools , more solar milling plants and so on.. let HH cadres oppose wat they see. for sure this govt is working. let go chagwa viva aug 11th .
