UPND’s William Banda, Cadres Break PostNewspapers’ BillBoard

WILLIAM Banda’s violence has continued as suspected opposition UPND
cadres under his command set their anger on a billboard belonging to
The Post newspaper which they broke Tuesday night.

A check by Tumfweko.com this morning found that, the electronic billboard, stuck outside the newspaper’s head office on Bwinjimfumu road in Lusaka’s Rhodes Park are, suffered UPND wrath for unknown
reasons.

After losing the 2011 general election, the UPND has been on rampage
trying to bring down the PF government and The Post newspaper which
supported President Michael Sata’s candidature.

On many instances, UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema mocked the newspaper and President Sata prior to last year’s elections that now one had ever won the presidency using a newspaper.

But after President Sata won the election with the support of The Post and several community radio stations, Hichilema has been filled with great bitterness and frustration.

This has resulted in the recruitment of William Banda, Edwin Lifwekelo, Charles Chimumbwa and other MMD propagandists who maligned
President Sata when he was in opposition.

Sources within the UPND hinted to Tumfweko.com that William Banda has
mapped out a strategy to physically attack journalists who supported
President Sata’s candidature.
