Patriotic Front cadres this morning clashed on Independence Avenue with the anti endorsement camp over powered as the two groups seek to dominate each other.
The pro endorsement cadres were on a mission to march to State House without a police permit when a counter group that sought to break up the march caught up with them leading to an exchange of expletives and punches.
However, the pro endorsement camp won the tussle as they continued their march.
They were carrying placards reading “Die for Sata”, “Sata for 2016”.
The PF succession wrangle is carefully couched in an endorsement veil with defence Minister Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba, Secretary General Wynter Kabimba and Kabwata Member of Parliament Given Lubinda positioning themselves as possible heirs.
Mwamba has been traversing the country under the guise of Sata’s endorsement message while Kabimba has also been using party structures to impose himself with Lubinda taking a laid back approach.
