This time around the University of Zambia students have put their foot down to condemn violence, the UNZASU has called on the Zambia police to provide leadership and stop violence, it has further issued a 48-hour ultimatum for the arrest of MMD Provincial Chairperson William Banda and bring him to book.
The ultimatum is from UNZASU Publicity and Information Secretary, Beatrice Nakazwe and UNZAPOSA President, Isaac Mwaipopa.
The students say he has been involving himself in violence which is very unfortunate as a leader and called on leaders to be civilized and not use primitive ways like it happened during the fight for independence.
The two students’ bodies have further blamed the police for continued spate of violence ahead of the general elections.
However Province Commander, Mhlakeni Zulu says police are investigating complaints against Lusaka Province MMD chairman, William Banda.
Mr Zulu says investigations over the complaints which have to do with violence have since advanced.
And Police in Lusaka have arrested Chawama MMD youth Chairperson, Nathan Phiri for attacking another man with an iron bar.
Lusaka Province Police Commander, Mlakeni Zulu has told Muvi TV news that Mr Phiri is alleged to have attacked 21-year-old Chilufya Kunda.
Mr Zulu has explained that Mr Phiri was handed over to the police by his fellow MMD cadres after the attack.

try it
While Equally condemn violence irrespective of the perpetrator,Students have no right to give instructions to the Police who are professionals in how,where, when,what why and who to arrest. Its not just a question of arresting without procedure as any unlawful is suffered by individual officers. You students just concentrate on your studies, society and its challenges is awaiting for you after graduating. Many police officers have now acquired degree qualifications and they know best their job.
Imwe naimwe ba Impi fyacilamo, William was beating pipo in the presence of the 40 policemen, why didn’t they arrest him there and then. But if it was opposition cadres they would have been in police cells as we are talking. How can they be investigating a case that was happening in their eyes. so, the degree qualifications they are acquiring now say when one commits an offense in their presence, they let them go free and investigate later at their own time, and in the process the case will die naturally.
you dont know wat you talking about, wish it was you we beat up then you would know it for sure that man is evil, no one will be above the law…get more mutured and cosider why we are crying nangu niwebo ulelwamo..waunfwa
Why do you always defend w banda. Nothin will happen no police will arest banda. Banda is well protected by the president and the police themselfs. If banda was a p f nga nikudala bana manga. We are watching you. Look at inocent live his attackin. I am assuring you that if you wont take any step. The people wil take that.
yes WE DONT WANT EVIL MEN, WE WONT DEPORT THEM THEY BE PUT TO TRAIL
u know what impi u are stupid if u can’t condem violence then i don’t know a zambia we are going to have after 20-sep-2011 if we hav people like u.
Impi ndiwe 2V
@IMPI JUST SHUTUP,YOU SEEM TO BE XPOSING YOUR IRRESPONSIVENESS ,WHO DO YOU XPECT TO TAKE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY?
BE A RESPONSIBLE CITIZEN BY DEMANDING WHAT IS RIGHT.
AND FOR THE COMMANDING OFFICER MLAKHENI,PLEASE STOP ISSUING THOSE EMPTY STATEMENT WHICH LACKS SUBSTANCE…INVESTIGATING WHAT WHEN YOUR OFFICERS WERE THERE WATCHING,WHY DONT YOU JUST GO AND LOCK THE PERPETRATOR OF THOSE SORRY STATES???
IMPI, ndiwe tuvi ya munthu.It would have been good if you were not born. Your behaviour defeats any human logic. How can you stand up for nonsensical behaviour. Wait until one of your relatives or indeed yourself is left in cold blood will you realise that violence should never be condoned. As for Mlakeni, what is there to investigate when William Banda administered violence in Chongwe in full view of the police?I am yet again reminded of the words of madam Nawakwi when she referred to Kabonde as ‘that useless cop.’ Police act professionally. Learn from what has happened to the IG in Kenya who has been extradited to ICC for misconducting himself during political violence.
Impi tekanya sana!
is William Banda a small god? i wonder why no action has been taken against him. it seems he has more powers than the general inspector of police himself.
iwe impi what procedure are you talking about?banda committed a cognizable offence and a police officer is mandated by law to arrest without a warrant.so shut the f*ck up!moron..and whats there to investigate when police witnessed it all?we are not stupid..
you guys William Banda is being used by the same person who appointed Inspector Genral police so what do you expect?? the whole thing of letting th president appoint such postions is the soucert of all sorts of these issues otherewise there hould be just independent bodies to appoint such positions like it is with LAZ. shame on Rupiah and his Government!
POLICE SHOW LEADERSHIP…..DO YOUR WORK AND ARREST OR GIVE A WARN AND CAUTION STATEMENT TO THIS THUG THAT HAS TROUBLED ZAMBIA AS IF HE IS A ZAMBIAN…..LET HIM GET BACK TO HIS MALAWIN VILLAGE…I AM SURE EVEN OUR MALAWIAN BRETHREN ARE HAPPY THAT SUCH CHARACTORS ARE NOT IN THEIR COUNTRY…HE IS A TERRORIST..HOW DO YOU GO TO SUCH LEVELS OF UNCIVILISATION
yah dis is da way intellectuals shud act, it is so unfortunat dat zambia police acts so improfessional. dey cnt define dere role,owez wen students riot dey r in da 4front 2 condemn. wiliam must face da law 4 sure,he is intimidating da country’s peace.
Thanks guyz that we are able to come out and condemn evil acts. William shud be arrested finito. Police are a disgrace… What are they investigating or are the police awaiting for instructions from Rupiah??
U r all small boys and girls. wat utmatulm r u giving n who r u giving? Who gave u powers u idiots. Wat has been leveled aganist w banda r allegation which nid to be invesitageted. The police r not a team of jokers as u think let them do their work. u wil always be boys n girls to tell the police wat 2 do. To u william Banda if u r involed i am sorry becoz the time 4 dirty politics is over. Tell u freind cycle mata too, ur partiner in such n the ring leader of chawama/kaligalinga panga saga as outlined by history.
IMPI- guess you are not the one I know. The truth is that, William Banda a foreigner is the one in forefrant of spear heading electoral violence in our loved mother land, and as such he has to be brought to book.VIVA-student power. VIVA-UNZASU
You unza monk general- its lik you are the most idiotic person who does’t know what is really happening. Sure can u ignore the bad thing happened & support a useless foreigner called William Banda.The man is in support with the one who appointed him. So the only thing is just to speak through our votes on 20th sept.Thanx guyz for having the heart of pieace not that of william banda.
