Fr Bwalya Survives Lynching, Police Arrest Him
Alliance for Better Zambia (ABZ) leader Frank Bwalya Monday survived physical lynching from irate PF Cadres when he appeared on Radio Mano In Kasama.
Fr Bwalya was picked by police at Radio Mano in Kasama this afternoon. He was in the middle of speaking on the radio when the cops stormed the radio station and picked him. He was talking about his renewed red card campaign, this time against the PF.
‘They picked him up by the belt like a common criminal,’ said someone who witnessed the event.
It has not yet been established what offence they will charge him with.
Fr Bwalya
The red card campaign was understood by many as a campaign to remove MMD from power. However, the founding document of the red card called the Buchi 2010 Declaration clearly stipulated three issues that the campaign hinged on namely; 1. A just, durable people driven constitution that would be in line with the multi-party culture Zambia has embraced; 2. Commitment to fight corruption (Against the backdrop of the acquittal of FTJ) and 3. Demand for good governance. The declaration was published in the Post Newspapers and recited at all Save Zambia Conferences.
It is therefore fitting that the Rec Card Campaign (RCC) is here again. This time with a bid bang and promising to be the most power campaign ever mounted in Zambia because it has been supported by various interest groups including CSOs, LAZ, political parties, Churches, Student Bodies, and many others who are part of the current demand for a new constitution. It will be a powerful campaign because MMD this time are participating as well. As I gave out cards in the Cathedral today, Hon Kaingu as Vice President of MMD got one. Several MMD members were not happy that I carried only a few for distribution. Join the campaign now and participate in putting an end to reckless wastage of public funds in endless constitution review processes. I will deliver one card to RB and ensure the media captures. I know that he will be glad to have it.
And Sunday Chilufya Chanda Says;
INTOLERANCE OF DIVERGENT VIEWS IS NOT WE EXIST FOR AS A NATION: My heart is sad to hear that Father Frank Bwalya has survived lynching by irate PF cadres as he appeared for a programme on Radio Mano. He was whisked away by police soon after the programme. This is unacceptable and Zambians must refuse to be intimidated. So let freedom of expression and association reign!

How beffitting that they roughed up one of their own.He should just go back to this useless party like the prodigal son.The beauty with having Sata as president is that he is not predictable.Who would have thought Gbm would be a possible target.Next time it may just be Lungu his replacement.And the rest of them sit back and cheer Sata on.Kabimba is even opposing a progressive constitution.He will regret it when he is thrown out and he now faces police hierarchy loyal to Sata and not to say their oath of office if parliament was the one apponiting the likes of Libongani.

No freedom of expression in Zambia. Dictatorship kind of leadership.
ZNBC news is worse off than that of MMD, they only report negatives about oppositions.

Mad priest instead of preaching peace,seeking God to intervene if at all the PF is not doing anything about the constitution and other governance issues,he is there busy trying to bring confusion in a country that has enjoyed peace.You wonder which God this man saves,because the God I know does not allow what this so called priest is advancing.

How does God intervene in human affairs? Do you expect Him to come in person to sort out PFs mistakes? In heaven God uses angels but on earth he uses humans. PF is going in 2016!

“Lynch” I love that word, how about we use it in 2016 when the PF loses the elections unexpectedly?

I wonder what’s going on in Sata’s mind and Kabimba, Meembe, Nchito and the rest of the gang. You have forgotten that people voted for PF based on the lies you told them, remember when you no longer be president your immunity will be removed and you and your followers will regret. I hope your cases will be put on fast track so that you end up in jail. You are shameless.Presidents are elected by people and people change….and change is a rule of life..nothing is permanent but CHANGE.

the problem with some online is that you like reporting half truth or no truth at all. what is the motive behind this? tell us what Bwalya said and then we shall make our own judgement.
