It has been another day of drama today in the chaotic Patriotic Front (PF. New PF president Edgar Lungu held a press briefing where he fired Bridget Atanga, as expected, and appointed Davies Chama the new SG. It is an interesting move. Perhaps Mulenga Sata was sidelined for this role because his loyalty is yet unproven. He also now has the adoption certificate.
As Lungu was announcing the changes a parallel "illegal" PF conference hurriedly cobbled together from Kabwe residents and cadres from the streets were led by Guy Scott. We say "illegal" because it turns out the Lungu camp had already obtained an injunction against the purported conference. The injunction was served on Scott and his friends.
The media recognised the injunction with MuviTV and ZNBC quickly cancelling the live coverage of the conference [who paid for this?] after seeing the court order. Scott on the other hand pleaded shocking ignorance. But he still carried on despite the Court order. Perhaps being "acting President" means he has a different sort of immunity. Only Zambians can answer that question for themselves.
