This time around we will make sure HH dies in prison – Antonio

A video showing former FDD Spokesperson Antonio Mwanza saying his new party the PF will make sure UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema dies in prison if he continues making “seditious and treasonous pronouncements” has gone viral on social media.

The video which was taken when Mwanza and other PF officials were receiving some defectors from the UPND on Tuesday, warned Hichilema saying “we are not going to give him 127 days.”

“It should be made very clear that those sentiments that he has continued to peddle that what happened in Zimbabwe, the coup that happened in Zimbabwe and what has happened in Uganda, the unconstitutional usurping of power can happen in this country, I think, I don’t want to say much but he has to learn a few things from the 127 days he had. If that 127 days in prison was not enough let him continue to peddle these seditious and treasonous pronouncements that he is making and we are not going to give him 127 days. He will die in prison,” says Mwanza.

Mwanza, who was once seen as a model politician for young people especially those from universities, recently swapped the green of FDD with that of the PF were he was immediately given a position as deputy media director.

Since his defection the once fierce critic of the government has appeared on more than 10 radio programs defending his move to join the ruling.

He has gone further to state that he was too young to die in opposition and that the ruling party offers him a chance to serve the Zambian people better.

The comments from Mwanza comes barely three months when Mwanza posted a picture on social media of him and the UPND leader at the residence of the later were they claimed to have shared notice on the challenges being faced common Zambians.
