The Patriotic Front Executive at Kitwes Chisokone market have unearthed a scam in which some Zambia National Marketeers Association have allegedly hired a group of thugs to beat up Patriotic Front members into the market.
PF Chisokone Branch Chairman Mulunda Mwanza has disclosed the development to Tumfweko.
Mwanza has since appealed to the police to ensure that order and sanity is instituted in the market.
In an interview with Tumfweko.com , Mwanza charges that ZANAMA has connived with a group of thugs to beat marketeers perceived to be PF members or any group found supporting the party.
He however says the PF members will not sit idle and watch ZANAMA take advantage of marketeers.
And Mr. Mwanza has urged marketeers to be united and defend themselves in any way possible.
He has since warned ZANAMA president Elvis Nkandu to put an end to the scam and respect the party affiliations of marketeers.
But ZANAMA Vice president Sydney Kayombo has dispelled the allegations.
Mr. Kayombo says it is unfortunate that Mr. Mwanza has continued to make false allegations against ZANAMA, adding that the association respects all marketeers and does not in any way intimidate them.

Movement for Multiparty for Democracy (MMD) cadres in Nkana constituency mid morning protested in Kitwes Buchi area demanding an answer from MMD authorities on why they decided to adopt Patriotic Front rebel councillor Divo Katete on the MMD Nkana constituency ticket leaving out former Nkana constituency Member of Parliament George Chilumanda whom they wanted. Sources close to tumfweko.com have confirmed the development.
By press time, the cadres were still protesting.
But Kitwe District Chairman George Lungu when contacted over the matter said he was not aware of the protests but promised to investigate the matter.
He however wonders why the cadres should protest when the adoptions were made by the MMDs National Executive Committee (NEC).
Meanwhile, Patriotic Front former National Youth secretary Erick Chanda says the PF will win 100 percent parliamentary seats on the Copperbelt.
Mr. Chanda says the credibility of the adopted MMD candidates on the Copperbelt can not meet the expectations of the people, describing the adopted candidates as failures.
The MMD has adopted 'rebel' PF councilor Divo Katete for Nkana Constituency, former UPND national youth spokesperson Ronald Manenga to contest the Chimwemwe seat and Copperbelt MMD task force chairman Joe Malanji for Kwacha constituency.
Others are Pavyuma Kalobo for Wusakile and Itay Chinkuli for Kamfinsa constituency respectively.
But Mr. Chanda says the adopted candidates lack the will to work for the people of Zambia.
He says the PF has better candidates that will bring development to the respective constituencies on the copperbelt.
But Kwacha Constituency adopted candidate Joe Malanji says the PF has no direction.
Asked how he levels his chances of winning the seat, Mr. Malanji says he does not go into any competition with guess work.

The 2009 Budget and Expenditure Tracking Survey (BETS) has revealed a number of inadequacies in both the education and health sector on the Copperbelt province.In the health sector, of the six health institutions covered only two in Mufulira (Mokambo and Kawama West) have no maternity wards as a result, cases are conducted in isolation rooms or referred to higher institutions in cases of complications and during the night as they do not operate at night.
The survey also reveals that a children ward exists at only one of the six health institutions which is Kamuchanga district hospitals as all other health centers both in Mufulira and Kitwe have no children wards.
On staffing of professional health workers, a serious shortage of key qualified staff at visited health institutions were discovered, especially at rural health centres.
On infrastructure development, the survey reveals that there was no construction, renovations, rehabilitation s or extensions undertaken at any of the three health institutions visited in Mufurila district during the period under review.
Meanwhile in the Education sector, out of the six basic schools covered, only three were planned for construction and extension, two of those are Kitwe while the other is Mokambo basic school in Mufurila.
The survey also reveals shortages in staffing, inadequate grants to meet needs of schools and delays in disbursement of grants from the ministry of education among other things.
And making recommendations based on the findings of the Budget and expenditure survey, Zambia Council for Social Development (ZCSD) Provincial Liaison officer Pascal Bwalya said more effort should be directed at introducing maternity and children wards at all clinics to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates even further.
He also recommended that the ministry of education review the free education policy to allow for increased and effective participation of communities in project management.
Mr. Bwalya said while much has been done in improving health delivery, a lot still needs to be done with regard to improving maternal and children health care services especially in Peri-urban and rural areas.
The survey covered six health institutions in Kitwe and Mufulira namely Chavuma Health centre, Zamtan Health centre, Ndeke health centre, Kamuchanga District hospital Mokambo Health centre and Kawama West clinic.
It also covered six basic schools namely Riverside, Kitwe, Lima, Mokambo, Mupambe and Central basic school.
And commenting on the findings of the 2009 budget and expenditure tracking survey Kanfinsa PF 'Rebel' Member of Parliament Michael Nyirenda said there has been no link between the communities and the MPs office hence the gaps.
He said the survey was two years behind and most of the noted inadequacies in both the education and health sectors had already been tackled by the current government.
ZCSD in collaboration with its partners, Bethesda Zambia and Advocacy on Human Development of Kitwe and Mufulira respectively conducted a BET survey in the education and health sectors.

"Rebel" Kamfinsa PF Member of Parliament Michael Nyirenda has dismissed as baseless, continued accusations that he has failed to effect development in his constituency. Aspiring Kamfinsa MP Tresford Chisela told flava fm recently that after a conducted tour of Kitwes Ndeke area, it was discovered that the road network was in a deplorable state among other things.
But Mr. Nyirenda says the road which connects AMIS to Ndeke Village is being attended to saying delays were due to lack of funds.
He blamed the damage on the road to shoddy works but assured that it would be repaired before the tripartite elections.
Mr. Nyirenda was however, quick to point out that aspiring Kamfinsa MPs were free to point out wrongs in his constituency.
And Mr. Nyirenda said he was proud of his works in the constituency further urging his critics to understand that Kamfinsa constituency does not only cover Ndeke area.

POLITICS of deceit and manipulation is the root cause of poverty and underdevelopment in Zambia, says reverand Mb'ao.
In an interview, rev Mba'o who is Pastors forum For Eastern And Southern Africa Chairperson, said Zambians must vote for leaders that would spearhead good governance and heed peoples cries over the constitution.
"What Zambia needs is sincere leadership. There is massive rheotic going on with leaders trying to portray a picture that the country is doing very well politically and economically when in fact not. Corruption, Poverty, injustice and political oppression are still the main challenges that leaders have failed to curb. This should be at the back of every voters mind as the country goes to the polls," Rev Mba'o said.
He said the country is in need of strong leaders that would give power to the people for the betterment of the country.
" My appeal to the Zambian People is that they should demand for credible leaders. The country needs a leadership that will provide relief and restore dignity in the lives of many people, a leadership that would restore the integrity and independence of the judiciary, the public media, law enforcement agencies and other state institutions," said Rev Mba'o.

Kitwes Independent Riverside Ward Councilor Christopher Kangombe says government should acknowledge that it has failed to protect Zambian workers from abuse by foreign investors.
He said it is unfortunate that Zambians are suffering abuse at the hands of investors despite having labour laws in place.
Councilor Kangombe charges that investors are taking advantage of the weak labor ministry and have continued to subject Zambian workers to abuse.
Councilor Kangombe has since challenged labour minister Austin Liato to seriously address the issue adding that failure to do so will confirm that government has been corrupted by investors.
Councilor Kangombes comments come following media reports that a site manager at Joint Venture Civil mining contractors had beaten his worker for reporting five minutes late for work at open pit at Mopani mines in Kitwe.

Kitwe Mayor Elias Kamanga said no amount of intimidation will stop him from carrying out his mayoral duties.
And Councilor Kamanga has expressed interest to contest the Kamfinsa parliamentary seat on the Patriotic Front ticket.
Councilor Kamanga has also accused MMD Copperbelt Task force chairman Joe Malanji of frustrating the efforts of the office of the mayor.
Speaking at a media briefing held at Ndeke Community hall Monday morning, Councilor Kamanga wondered in what capacity Mr. Malanji was being involved in council issues.
He notes that by him being summoned by Riverside Police stations on theft allegations simply confirms that the police are a wing of the MMD.
Councilor Kamanga also accused the Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation ZNBC of being a mouth piece for the MMD.
MMD task force chairperson Joe Malanji last week revealed that he had reported councilor Kamanga to Riverside Police Station for allegedly re-fuelling Patrick Mwanawasas vehicle with 73.4 liters of petrol worth K635, 000 on a council account and also to the Anti Corruption Commission for illegal land allocations.
Meanwhile, Councilor Kamanga has called on the Ministry of Local Government and housing to allow auditors to audit the Kitwe City council.
He explains that no councilor has a right to give land to an individual as the process is done with full approval of the city council.

The Copperbelt University Students Union (COBUSU) has urged the government to begin to engage Diploma students at both CBU and the University of Zambia in dialogue over what it terms sky-rocketing tuition fees at higher learning institutions.
COBUSU Secretary General Anthony Bwalya says sustained dialogue done in good faith, through honest opinion sharing and a willingness by all stakeholders to examine available alternatives will eventually yield a solution to the problem, Diploma students have continued to face.
Bwalya further implores government to embark on a rigorous path of addressing graduate unemployment by ensuring parity between investments in higher education and financing formal job creation and expanding entrepreneurial capacity for graduates within the economy.
And Bwalya has advised people to refrain from trivializing the problems of students by making political stunts out of them.
He says government should continue down a trail of sustainably supporting the education sector as this holds the life and blood of the countrys future economic productivity and subsequent growth.
