DIVISION and infighting in the Patriotic Front (PF) have now reached the apex with rival camps in the rank and file of the former ruling party sponsoring cadres to execute what they know best, violence.
The leadership struggle in the party has now become deadly.
Utilising WhatsApp groups and Facebook, frustrated PF leaders are venting out on each other to inflict pain.
When Home Affairs and Internal Security Minister Jack Mwiimbu, in opposition, said the PF behaves like ciihunye, people called him names.
Ciihunye is an insect that eats itself when it runs out of food. It eats itself in short.
We have heard PF claims that President Hakainde Hichilema has sponsored confusion in the party.
They have accused the Head of State of fueling divisions in the PF.
No one needs to sponsor confusion in the PF because the party itself is confused.
PF insiders have exposed the sponsored infighting within the party, revealing that certain individuals are fueling internal conflicts to get to get to the top leadership position.
Acting party chairperson Jean Kapata has exposed the booing plot against acting president Given Lubinda.
The audio in the PF WatsApp group is making rounds on social media, exposing how the Brian Mundubile faction plotted to have Given Lubinda booed at a funeral in Kasama.
Just like what happened in Kabwe, where Lubinda was humiliated at a meeting with a handful of central province officials, this was supposed to be replicated in Kasama during the funeral of Kasama Mayor Theresa Kolala.
Recently, in Kabwe, Lubinda was assaulted by suspected PF cadres while addressing party officials.
A few minutes after the Kabwe incident, Brian Mundubile was the first one to announce the incident, saying Lubinda had been abducted and brutally assaulted even before the media covering the meeting could report the incident.
How did Mundubile know of the violent attack in real time when he was in parliament?
Mundubile wants to bring back thugarism. He is sponsoring attacks on his competitors.
