Violence tainted MMD Lusaka Province Chairperson; William Banda has refuted reports that he has instructed party cadres to harass or bar some individuals from entering belvedere lodge, where the funeral of Dr. Chiluba is being held.
Among the people Mr. Banda is alleged to have barred include Patriotic Front leader, Michael Sata.
Mr. Banda says doors are wide open at belvedere lodge, the official mourning site for Mr. Sata to attend the funeral gathering of late former head of state if he so wishes.
All Opposition political party leaders have so far visited the funeral venue except the outspoken PF Leader.
Mr. Banda warned Mr. Sata against gaining political mileage out of Dr. Chiluba’s death.
He disclosed that all those accusing him of violence are Patriotic Front sympathizers who demonized Dr. Chiluba until his last breathe on earth.
Mr. Banda said Mr. Sata should instead avail himself at the funeral venue than continue releasing false and malicious statements to the media.
Yesterday, a radio phoenix reporter and Rev. Edith Mutale are alleged to have been barred from entering the premises of the lodge.
