There has been a tendency by some opposition patriotic front fugitives going to Zimbabwe for refuge. This raises questions about the influence that the Patriotic Front-PF has on Zimbabwe as our neighbour country.
Any well-meaning Zambian should think deeply about the tendency by some PF fugitives running to Zimbabwe shows that there is something between the former ruling party and the Zimbabwean government that the Zambian government is not aware of. 
The recent case of Former Information Minister Dr. Chishimba Kambwili, Former Special Assistant for Politics to Former President Edgar Lungu, Kaizer Zulu and now Petauke Member of Parliament Emmanuel Jay Banda who have been to Zimbabwe before as fugitives.
Everyone is concerned over the seemingly dwindling bilateral relations between Zambia and Zimbabwe explains that someone in Zimbabwe seems to be helping these pf members who are finding it easy to run into that country.
As editor zambia we want to notes that the tension between the two countries is visible with the recent revelations surrounding the Petauke Central lawmaker’s alleged capture and release, proving the extent of the misunderstandings between the two governments.
Why would zimbabwe authorities release Jay Jay Banda yet in 2018 by then A senior member of Zimbabwe’s opposition MDC Alliance, Tendai Biti, was denied asylum by neighbouring Zambia.Zimbabwe’s police accuse Mr Biti of inciting violence following defeat of election which saw ED being the president of Zimbabwe.By then Zambian Foreign Minister Joe Malanji, under the ethical regime, told the BBC that Mr Biti’s grounds for asylum were weak.HistoryHe was being kept in “safe custody” until he returned to Zimbabwe, the minister said.
Earlier, his lawyer said his client had been detained at the border with Zambia by the Zimbabwean authorities.
An alleged Zambian police report circulating on social media states that Zimbabwean officials tried to detain Mr Biti after he had crossed into Zambia.
So far, we have seen that Zimbabwe has shown redundancy in cooperating with the Zambian government.
