PF Justifies The Battering Of Lusambo, Says His Abusive Language Was Provocative
Speaking to Qfm in an interview, PF Lusaka Youth secretary Stanley Chumya says MMD die hard coordinator Bowman Lusambo is one of the cadres in the opposition MMD with an abusive language and that might have led to some PF cadres pounce on him.
Mr.Chumya has also refuted claims that Mr. Lusambo was beaten and threaten with death when he was abducted close to an hour.
Mr. Chumya has told Qfm in an interview that the PF’s action yesterday was only meant to stop an alleged demonstration by MMD members who were believed to have planned to protest against government’s decision to lift subsidies on fuel and maize.
Mr. Chumya has reiterated the need for the MMD members in the country to closely work with the ruling PF in fostering development in the country as opposed to engaging in violent politics.
Meanwhile the Human Rights Commission (HRC) has condemned in the strongest terms the harassment of a journalist during an incident in which suspected Patriotic Front cadres attacked Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) at Lusaka’s City Market.
A Muvi Television reporter is reported to have been caught-up in the locomotion while filming the incident in which suspected a PF mob pounced on MMD member.
In a statement released to QFM News, HRC spokesperson Samuel Kasankha says the commission is saddened with the violent attacks on journalists barely three weeks after Zambia joined the rest of the world in commemorating World Press Day.
The HRC spokesperson has since appealed to the political authorities in the PF and MMD to take action towards those who took part in the act at City Market.

These thugs called the Die Hard have no kind words with any body.His response might have provocked the situation. By the way pipo, do you know that this group calling themseves Die Hard is not recognised by a large membership of MMD? Its only known to Nevers and his predecessor Rupiah Banda.

This, coming from the PF’s, not surprising. It is a party of hooligans without a proper agenda for this country and they think this is how they will maintain themselves in power,beating up people.

It was really interesting to read about Bowman Lusambo harassment at the hands of PF cadres because to me Bowman boasts as the “Die Hard MMD” cadre, which means that no threats of any form from anyone will make him surrender but poor Bowman this time he showed the Zambians that he is a “Die Soft MMD” cadre. What a big shame for Bowman. Boy insala ibi sana pantu you can boast of what you are not and when reality catches up with you, you really prove your self that you are made of clay and not steel. Miserable Bowman Lusambo, goodbye.
