The Post Editorial of yesterday tried to condemn the attack on HH in Kasama but at the same time tried to paint HH like a violent man. That is sad, because what the Post is saying indirectly is that HH deserves what he got in Kasama.
We mentioned a few days ago that some political leaders talk, eat, sleep, dream violence. HH talks, eats, sleeps, dreams peace and nothing else. William Banda is mentioned in that article, as being HHs advisor. Banda is a mobiliser and inteligence person trained in Israel.
If it was true that William Banda is a violent person by nature, do you think that incident in Kasama would have ended the way in did; no blood shed. We challenge anyone to tell us how many violent incidents Banda is associated with since he joined UPND. If UPND and HH were violent you think those chain weilding boys at Kabwata Basic would have gone back home unscathed?
The Post could do well to condemn what they need to condemn without sounding vindictive or “good-for-you” like, because that waters down whatever they try to say. So much violent incidents have taken place since PF came into power, and the Post have just seen it now because one of their own has been on the receiving end.
“Chaona mudzako chapita, mawa chila pali iwe” or “What goes around, comes around.” Such is life, and it puts people that don’t have principles in an awkward position. The best the Post could do is to find the root cause of the PF cadres’ primitive behaviour and propose solutions to that, than magnifying the already existing proble (culture) of political violence. They are journalists after all, and journalists investigate. Merely talking about a problem does not solve it.
