POLICE Spokesperson Bonnie Kapeso has sympathized with journalists who were on Wednesday beaten by MMD carders who went to cover President Banda’s return from Kampala, Uganda. Kapeso who was not in a position to comment further on the incident said it was sad and dangerous that The Post reporter Chibaula Silwamba and Anthony Mulowa from Times of Zambia were beaten in full view of security.

“I am not making any statements on that matter because (Lusaka Division) Commanding Officer Mr. Greenwell Ng’uni was present when that was happening and he will answer the questions.’

“But I will inform the Inspector general of Police that journalists are very emotional. I have been to Times of Zambia, and Daily mail and journalists are very angry with what happened,” said Kapeso.
