Hichilema or HH as he commonly called disclosed this on Saturday in an update on his Facebook page ahead of Zambia, Egypt game.
He said would have loved to watch and cheer the Boys but said the PF government had schemed to cause havoc if he attempted to go to Heroes stadium.
“It is with dismay that we wish to inform you that we have been blocked from going to the Heroes stadium and watch, cheer our boys from there.
The Police and indeed the intelligence reports reaching us are that if we are to do so, the enemies of peace and oneness have already plotted a scheme to harass us and other innocent citizens.
In view of that and for the sake of peace, we have decided to stay away from the Heroes Stadium.
We would like to also quickly assure our foreign visitors that they are welcome to Zambia.
We would have wanted to be in the stands to cheer our boys but this is clearly not tenable under the current PF environment.
It is sad because as we said earlier soccer unites us as a nation, but the PF has instead decided to use the occasion to cause further divisions.
To the boys, tonight ‘s game is very important. We will be with you in spirit.
I personally will watch the game with other fellow Zambians who I know are peace loving and want to enjoy this moment.
We wish the boys all the best and God’s blessings.
Have a blessed day friends.
And may God Bless our country”
