Four more BNFA Activists nabbed

by BNFA Correspondent in Livingstone

More BNFA activists have been arrested in Livingstone by Zambia police. The latest victims are Col. Lubasi, Ndopu Sanjola, Pastor Elliot Mbulana and George Akufuna. George Akufuna is the BNFA Regional Chairperson. The four join five BNFA activists who were earlier arrested on Thursday May 10, 2018. The arrests bring the total number to nine, despite BRE promise that no Barotse shall ever be arrested over matters pertaining to Barotseland. The Zambia regime show their true colors by arresting more Barotse while propagating dialogue. As we have stated before, this dialogue is but continued GRZ machination.

The five activists who were earlier arrested are Bonny Silumina, Kebby Sishekanu and Phelim Kaingu, Ms. Mukebesa Mubita and Mrs. Yubai Mutukwa. They have been detained following a press briefing called by BNFA leadership in Livingtone to react to the BRE/GRZ dialogue message. The BRE/GRZ dialogue message was delivered by their agent in Movement for the Restoration of Barotseland Agreement Chairman Mutungulu Wanga on Saturday May 5, 2018. Wanga was soliciting support for the BRE/GRZ dialogue. However, the message was rejected by the people. The activists met at the same venue to inform the press the reasons for rejecting the dialogue. The nine have been charged with unlawful assembly. They were earlier slapped with the offence of having seditious material, which was dropped for lack of evidence. The detainees were taken to their homes, one at a time, in search of more evidence. More details to follow.
