Zambian Govt Blocks Former President Lungu From Travelling To South Africa
1 year agoThu, 14 Sep 2023 09:41:36 GMT
The Zambian government has prevented former President Edgar Lungu from traveling to South Africa for a medical review.
According to a letter dated 07 September 2023, the Deputy Secretary to the Cabinet, Oliver Kalabo informed Lungu that he had not been granted permission to travel to SA. Reads the letter in part:
Reference is made to a letter dated 16 August 2023 on the above subject.
I wish to advise that authority has not been granted for you, Your Excellency, to travel to South Africa for medical review.
Zambia’s President, Hakainde Hichilema, who chairs the SADC Troika, snubbed President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s inauguration on 04 September.
The ZANU PF-led government then hastily invited Lungu to attend the ceremony, a move that some commentators said was done to “spite” Hichilema.
On 4 September, Hichilema castigated alleged coup plotters who he claimed were planning to undermine Zambia’s democracy and stability. He said:
To colleagues that think, we are timid by being kind and that they can break the laws and entertain thoughts of illegal takeover of government including undemocratic coup d’état… we are coming for you.
Since gaining independence from Britain in 1964, Zambia has never experienced military rule, though there have been several unsuccessful coup attempts.
Commenting on the decision by the Zambian government to block Lungu from travelling to South Africa, Zambian political activist, Joseph Kalimbwe said:
Edgar Lungu has been denied access to leave the country to go seek medical review in South Africa. I support the action. Lungu was President, he should have improved the local hospitals and therefore must go to the same hospitals Zambians go to !!!
I see some people in Southern Africa are unhappy with the photo (of the letter blocking Lungu from travelling to SA) I shared.
African leaders don’t improve hospitals in their own countries & want to be treated abroad.
Lungu was President of Zambia, he talks a lot of the hospitals he built, he must go & be treated in one of them !!
I doubt if Lungu is genuinely unwell or that he needs a medical review. He just wants to leave the country and go meet his friends – plot.
Also, why does he want to go to South Africa & not Zimbabwe? I thought he said all is well in Zim. He must go get treated at Parirenyatwa !!!

Lungu is covering up something.The story is getting thick and I am sure in no time dots will connect. It is unfortunate that Mr Lungu don't know his 'new friends'.

Apa dual H uyu, hasisiri stable,
1)he shunned inauguration ya ED
2)he arrests Lungu wife over alleged theft and sale of a motor vehicle which are not true
Was angered because the former first lady had a rousing welcome at the inauguration of Ed
3) prices of mealie meal shot up causing mayhem and was trying to quell the potential chaotic situation
4)HH goes to China in a bid to mete food shortage in Zambia, one wonders where is Biden, as he to seeks lifesaver kumabvazuva
5)Supecting a Coup lashes out vemon to unknown for death threats
5) Forbids Lungu medical review in SA thinking its a plot to unseat him (Coup)
6)Biden only thinks war invasions, Donates zvikopokopo as presumably training kits but, its some kind of rearmament

Ndikokuti vazive how our hospitals are. 🤣🤣 These Zanu people paka kandwa Grenade at White city stadium vakaona zvakaita our hospitals. They never dared to improve them. Vanotoda kuti vanhu vaite suffer even more. Ndosaka ana Perrence Shiri takavaviga 🤣🤣🤣 akarara zvake mu box, na blazo major general Moyo
@bvepfepfe · 1 year ago
Iii apa ma yepa kuti rakaposhewa, the grenade detonated from a bag that was horror cause I was at the stadium then, how it detonated at the same time the presidium was leaving its still mystery even by now and the President has been the target from all sorts of spheres
this then comes to mind that the family that he's had is solely that is caring and can get him through his ambitions and achieve his goals come 2030

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Blazo imi i am talking about facts here, go on Facebook and watch the video of the grenade. Iwewe ndiwe uri kunyepa wakaita zvekuudzwa. Tenga data and go on Youtube or FB u will see grenade rihombe richikandiwa. U can also check on Google images u will she the big grenade dude.

It's just a difficult situation when you are a leader on a shoestring budget he might have built hospitals but to equip them is a tantamount task that require%GDP yepamusoro

Do you think for a second . Do you not see the reality of Zimbabwe . Are you living in dreamland or are you so rich you don't care how the rest of the people live . Are you so evil and selfish that you are content with a few elites living grand at the expence of the masses . Are you not seeing the nepotism that is being mounted brick by brick nephew after son . are you so blind to the suffering of the citizens who are forced to drink dirty water which comes and goes anytime , the powercuts that are not scheduled . the price hikes that are as frequent as taking a piss . Are you not ashamed of the roads we use . Two lane interstate highways in our day and age . Arrrrrg !! What a spectacle Zimbabwe is under the sun

The worst is gonna happen as long as you voted opposition worst the ones that's backed by sanctions That alone is Evil armtwisting on the impossible to happen, who should tap out here the one that that inflicting the armtwisting act or the one that being armtwisting but no crackling of bones in fact no feeling at all to this act, kuyedza kumwononura rubber thinking it going to snap, Munoita imvhi zvese kuchoya kwese uko nazvo izvi,
uya gcwali nzinza ezimhlophe ungabulokhu uzama ukudlangamandla kumbuso kazulu we Zanu Pf,
I never sought riches but by supporting those that are I feel I am content and very rich as well cause the richness is a freerer state on how you plan act and deliver
In that way you are spiritual able to become very rich and maintain that status lifetime
Not to claim you are rich when someone closer to you dwells in a plastic shack, favelas, gutter etc
So in a nutshell, Tripple Cs you won Mad****bha do your acts and spare criticism of the ED and his appointments

We have outlived many European Presidents who were our foes.
ZANU PF is an impregnable fortress and can never be defeated.

Did your government allow Marry Mubaiwa to go for treatment in South Africa, what happened to her arm; why has Lawyer Sikhala remained in remand prison for more than a year; what is happening to the recently elected CCC MP’s like Siziba, Kademaunga etc does this appear to you to be tolerance to you?.

Zambia under HH recently received Fighter Hawk Helicopters from the USA. The USA has a military base in Zambia under the AFRICOM. Thus, Lungu & Zanu PF are not a threat to HH. HH is just frustrating Lungu & his Liberation War movement friends from plotting a coup in Zambia.
Edgar Lungu should get a taste of his own medicine. Lungu used to arrest, harrass & imprison Hichilema the same way Zanu Pf oppresses opposition members. Zambia has doctors too.A review is not that complicated. He should get medical treatment in Zambia. Mugabe destroyed Zimbabwe and received treatment in Singapore where he died peacefully. The Skilled Rebhara receives treatment in China & South Africa when Zimbabwean health workers are suffering and hospitals have no medicine. And imbeciles support that crap...

He is free to seek treatment from wherever. You are blaming him for a poor healthcare system as if he ruled for decades. You are a hypocrite. If Zanu was doing that you would be complaining. There is no excuse for political persecution. HH is just like every other african leader, the only difference is that he plays for the right team.
