Patriotic Front cadre Robert Chikwelete has been given a job at Zesco as a manager in what many employees say is unclear circumstances but sources suggest is a reward for turning against Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba.
Chikwelete had started off as GBM’s right hand-man in the Patriotic Front power wrangles in which he led a vicious bloody campaign for the removal of Wynter Kabimba as party general secretary.
The Chawama constituency official mobilised cadres to demonstrate with coffins in the Central Business District leading to clashes between supporters that resulted in deaths. The Kabimba must go campaign failed.
He was later approached by the Kabimba team to tone down and reduce pressure on the embattled Secretary General. Chikwelete later apologised to Kabimba.
After re-aligning himself with the Kabimba group, Chikwelete issued statements disparaging GBM as part of the crossover deal and was within time employed as manager at the electricity supply company.
Chikwelete is one of the many PF cadres that have been rewarded with lucrative jobs despite not knowing their roles. Professionals at Zesco have complained that the cadres are clueless and frustrating them.
