THE UPND has taken 16 heads of cattle to Solwezi for victory celebrations starting today to Tuesday.

UPND vice-president Richard Kapita said in an interview yesterday that the cattle were meant to feed the constituents as a way of thanking them for voting for the UPND-PF pact candida

“We are just offloading the cattle, they are 16 of them,” said Kapita.
Kapita said they left a cow in Chingola, which was promised to PF members when they won the by-election.

Kapita said 10 of the cattle would be slaughtered in Solwezi for the residents while the remainder would be taken to Kangwena Ward, Mwinilunga, Kabompo, Nyakulenga Ward in Zambezi and one for Mufumbwe.

“Mufumbwe, that was the only ward by-election we lost but we still have to fete the people for their effort,” said Kapita.
Several Kitwe residents honked and waved the pact symbol as the truck carrying the animals passed through town.

Lumba beat MMD's Albert Chifita by over a thousand votes to claim the seat left vacant following the death of MMD's Ben Tetamashimba.
