PF WAS THE WORST GOVERNMENT IN ZAMBIA SINCE 1964 - Milner Mwanakampwe
Milner Mwanakampwe writes....
Time was 12:30 in the afternoons, the day was Saturday and the date was 12/08/2017, sat between two elders as the sermon was going on.
A policeman that i know beckoned one of the colleagues i sat with to go outside.
I immediately felt like a sheep that is headed for slaughter.
What have i done, i asked those so called policemen, And a colleague that i sat with in church, a senior member of the security wing pleaded with those "policemen" to tell me atleast what wrong i had done.
But, but you see, these were men who seemed to have been sent to kill, they just said, "yes sir we shall tell him".
They drove me to the police division headquarters for central province, showed me some number and asked if i knew who the owner of that number was and that the owner of that number was a she and was dead and that i was the last person to communicate to her.
They told me that as a result of that, they were taking me to Lusaka for detention and questioning.
Meanwhile i did know for a fact that my son Joshua, would be waiting by my car back at church and as such i requested them to take me back to church so that i could tell my son to walk home.
True to my suspicion, we found him seated at the back of my Ford Ranger.
I asked him to walk home, pray for me because the police had taken away my freedoms and i was not sure when i would be back home.
My son cried and asked me, "Dad, is it because of uncle HH and are they going to take you to Mukobeko and kill you the way they want to kill uncle HH"? He left with tears dropping from his face.
Time to start off Baba they said to me. As we were walking to their car from where my vehicle was parked a church mate Silongwa Simakando came by and asked me, Sa waya kwi chilombwana? i told him i am arrested, not too sure he believed me, but anyways little could be done and we were gone! Before joining Chilubi Island road, i asked my captors that we needed to pray for safe passage to wherever they were taking me to but the three guys asked me, "what prayer and to who?"Anyway to cut my short episode long, i prayed that the lord of heaven should have his own way.
But back home my son i was told got my phone and looked for a WhatsApp DP that would suit what/how he felt and put "GOD WILL MAKE A WAY" which DP i still use to date.
Anyways the colleagues took me to Kabwata police station, Woodlands Police Station and several other torture places including some mortuary and spent over a month in detention without a charge.
Finally, only to be indicted for allegedly having planned to kill Former President Rupiah Banda and a civil servant then Kaizer Zulu, i felt insulted and when i was asked what i had to say over the charge, i told the policemen that came to charge me at woodlands police that it was very unfortunate that they could misuse government stationery to come and give me such foolish and insulting charge.
How could that be? i have a lot of respect for HE RB and i have never met him not even talking to him let alone Brother KZ.
I have been to the lowest ebb of my life, i count myself as having died in 2017 because of what i went through, the life i am living now is but a bonus.
I have been to the mountain top, i have seen the promised land and it gives me hope that as a people, we shall get there, we may all not get there, but our collective efforts will make us get there.
My appeal to all the fellow citizens is that Zambians must love one another and learn to coexist even though our political opinions maybe at variance with one from another.
Zambia is one, Africa is one and we must live as one people.
I thank God for the protection during that very trying moment. Friends too numerous to mention who stood by us, we are forever indebted to you.
Keith Mweemba, Christopher Mundia,Mulambo Haimbe, Gilbert Phiri, Zevyanji Sinkala, Martha Mushipe, Mwiimbu Jack, Kabesha Mulilo and many other compatriots, thank you.
This day always arouses in me serious emotions that i can never explain, but i leave everything to God knowing that the lord has promised us that time and chance happen to them all that believe in God.
