SACCORD disappointed with ‘violent communication’

SACCORD Executive Director Boniface Cheembe

The Southern African Center for the Constructive Resolution of Disputes (SACCORD) has expressed concern that even after the Indaba on ending political violence some politicians are still continuing with violent communication.

SACCORD Executive Director Boniface Cheembe says politicians must heed the advice given by Lusaka Catholic Archbishop Telesphore Mpundu to open a new chapter and forget past violent occurrences.

Mr. Cheembe says politicians must desist from blaming the PF and UPND that they are the most violent parties as this was adequately addressed during the Indaba.

He says the nation cannot afford to start calling for another Indaba to guide politicians on how to communicate with each other and avoid provocative remarks.
