A Ndola based artist PilAto real names Fumba Chama says those pushing threats on his life, life is like a blank sheet
of paper, it becomes what you write on it.
“No one buys application letters, you buy blank papers and you turn them into letters. My life is no special and in no way do I plan to run or hide from any of your guns and knives. Better and worthy people have died before and some where even killed by less strong creatures compared to you. If you do not like the opinions in my music and you believe that harming me
is the solution, you are welcome. My inspirations are birthed by transpirations so if you don't like what I talk about,
change what happens,” he says.
He says those that claim to be friends and believers in the ideals of
the PF should be the first to apologize because, its the PF
that taught people the evils deeds of MMD.
“It
is the PF that told us that the MMD were corrupt, it is the PF
that told us that the MMD were responsible for sufferings of
the so many Zambians today. It is the PF that told us that for
us to move forward we needed to vote the government out,” PilAto says.
PilAto asks what wrong is believing in what people were taught by the men
and women they trusted.
“Those accusing me of defaming his
excellence the president... I suspect the president just laughed at the song and said ' umwaiche uyu alichenjela' while
the tongues of those that are paid for talking are on fire,” he asks.
He says he does not have the guts to disrespect his excellence at all but as a
citizen of this country he has the right to speak to the man in
charge of the national affairs.
“I admit we do not live in a perfect society but that does not disqualify me on anyone to demand for the right thing,” he says.
Meanwhile PF Director of Media, Brian Hapunda has told PilAto to know that his rights end where the
next persons right starts.
“President Edgar Chagwa Lungu is a human being too
with a character to protect. You do not use your Artistic Right
& talent to defame others!
As a young person that has a following in this Country
among fellow young people, you must be a good
ambassador to us the young people. The President is an
elderly person and his first born is your agement & as such
you ought to respect him whether you hate him or not
whether you are PF or not,” adding that PilAto should not gain firm by demeaning or defaming the Head of State or leaders!
“Your "Defamation song of the Head of
State" lacks governance relevance.
Lastly, can we young people strive to be good ambassadors
to fellow young people,” says Hapunda
