By Police News Reporter

The Inspector General of Police Mr. Graphel Musamba today inspected officers deployed in Kanyama Compound as part of the Zambia Police Service's operational readiness assessments ahead of the General Elections on 13 August 2026.

The visit is part of a countrywide exercise to evaluate the preparedness, discipline, and operational effectiveness of officers deployed across the country to ensure a peaceful and credible electoral process.

Addressing the officers, Mr. Musamba commended them for their commitment and emphasized the critical role the Zambia Police Service will play in maintaining law and order before, during, and after the elections.

He urged the officers to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, impartiality, and discipline in carrying out their duties.

The Police Chief reaffirmed the Service's commitment to safeguarding peace and security throughout the electoral period, stating that the Zambia Police Service has fully activated its Electoral Security Plan to effectively respond to any threats to the electoral process.

Mr. Musamba further reminded the officers that theservicee maintains a zero-tolerance stance on political violence, intimidation, hate speech, and public disorder.

He directed officers to enforce the law fairly and firmly, without fear or favour, while respecting the rights of all citizens.

The Inspector General also assured the officers of full command support, noting that the Police Command remains committed to providing the necessary operational guidance, supervision, and logistical support during the election period.

He encouraged the officers to remain vigilant, responsive, and professional at all times, adding that public confidence in the Zambia Police Service depends largely on the conduct of officers on the ground.

The Inspector General was accompanied by Lusaka Province Commanding Officer Commissioner of Police Mr. Ronald Zambo and other senior officers from Police Headquarters and Lusaka Division.

The inspection of Kanyama Operational Zone forms part of a broader nationwide assessment intended to strengthen security arrangements and boost public confidence ahead of the August 2026 General Elections.

Politics has just started!. This is not church. if you think those PF thugs went hiding 🫣 mwanama. They are in Mundubile's party. Treat them the way they are supposed treated because ngwena Ni ngwena even when ngwena crosses from the kafue river to the zambezi river, it will still remain that violent animal. Don't ever think they have changed and reformed. For five years we have always told our youths not to react and revenge the pain they went through at the hands of PF caders .Today you are not appreciating the peace we have kept rather you want to play dirty.

Our youths are more capable to do what you did a 100 times but we are giving you a strong warning to put your house in order before you blame us and start running to the international community.

In bus stations, markets and many parts of Lusaka, it has been peaceful and we never see people being hacked and stripped for wearing opposition party regalia.

If you can't condemn the actions of your party members, it means you are promoting the actions done by your cadres.

You have 48 hours to behave here in Lusaka and please take this seriously.

Let's remain peaceful

Signed
Matomola Likwanya
UPND Spokesperson for Lusaka

National Heroes Stadium Turf Passes Inspection

By Chansa K***a

The pitch at the National Heroes Stadium in Lusaka has been certified ready for use and is set to host its first match in July 2026.
This follows the rehabilitation of the stadium's hybrid turf after it was damaged by an army worm infestation last month.

Speaking after inspecting the pitch this afternoon, Youth, Sport and Arts Permanent Secretary KANGWA CHILESHE said it is encouraging to see the progress made in restoring the playing surface.

CHILESHE said the resumption of full operations at the stadium is something many Zambians have been eagerly awaiting, as the Government works to ensure the facility complies with FIFA standards.

He said significant resources have been invested in restoring the pitch and that the two remaining roofing panels will be installed soon, with delays attributed to administrative procedures.

Meanwhile, contractor MARIUS VAN NIEKERK said once the turf becomes fully operational, it should not be used for non-sporting events unless a protective cover is installed.

VAN NIEKERK said the pitch will require regular maintenance, including specialised treatment every three months, depending on the level of use, to preserve its quality and longevity.
