Clayson Hamasaka who is the Communication Specialist at State House has accused Political Commentator Dr Sishuwa Sishuwa of trying to incite anarchy in Zambia.
Reacting to Dr Sishuwa comment in the Mast Newspaper, Hamasaka charged that the Historian Zambian South Africa based lecturer is hiding behind the computer at his base in South Africa to fuel anarchy.
Here is what Hamasaka wrote.
I’m calling out the media house and their source for their extreme irresponsible reporting!
As a journalist and a media trainer, I know the damage misinformation can cause. Personally, I’ve experienced political persecution.
Under the PF regime, I was fired from Evelyn Hone College, and a week later, my wife was fired from Lusaka Water and Sewerage Company both government institutions. We didn’t blame it on TRIBAL persecution; we blamed the regime.
Even President Hichilema, then in opposition with his many police summons and detentions all the way to Mukobeko Maximum death prison, never attributed any of his tribulations to tribe, but to the regime.
Back then, Late President Michael Sata was arrested by late President Rupiah Banda (or was it late Levy Mwanawasa) while late President Frederick Chiluba was arrested by late President KK, but NEVER attributed it to tribe. Too many examples to site .
Cowardly Sishuwa, comfortably hiding behind the keyboard in South Africa is trying to incite anarchy in Zambia in the name of promoting Fred Mmembe’s SOCIALISM. We have all studied these -ISMS’.
Fred Mmembe, the owner of the now MAST Newspaper and previously POST Newspaper has always been very divisive character.
