Tonse-Pamodzi Alliance running mate, Makebi Zulu, has alleged that heavily armed plain-clothes men claiming to be police officers raided his Ibex Hill property earlier Wednesday, where the alliance’s BM8/MZ media command centre was set up.
In a statement posted on his Facebook page on the eve of the August 13, 2026 General Elections, Zulu said the men were looking for Parallel Voter Tabulation (PVT) equipment.
“Heavily armed plain clothes men claiming to be police officers earlier today broke into my Ibex Hill Twin Palm Road property where we had established the BM8/MZ media command centre looking for Parallel Voter Tabulation PVT equipments,” he stated.
Zulu further alleged that the men fired live ammunition during the raid.
“The goons who claim to be police officers fired live ammunition at defenseless members of our campaign team that were at the media centre the time the illegal raid was being conducted,” he said.
Zulu questioned the timing of the incident and appealed to voters ahead of tomorrow’s elections.
“Fellow Zambians as you vote tomorrow ask yourselves, Is this the Zambia you want for yourselves. Is this the kind of country you want to live in for another five years,” he said.
Zulu condemned the incident and said such actions should not be allowed to take root in the country.
He stated that this kind of thuggery should never be tolerated or even allowed to take root in the country.
Zulu also defended the use of PVT, saying it was not illegal, and questioned what he said the UPND administration may be trying to hide.
“Conducting PVT in any election is not illegal and so we wonder what exactly Mr Hakainde Hichilema wants to hide from the Zambian people with regards the results of tomorrow’s elections,” he said
Zulu called to an end the alleged brutality saying, “Stop the Brutality.”
