Katele Kalumba, William Banda ask court to recall Father Frank Bwalya

File: Father Frank Bwalya addressing a PF rally
MMD national secretary Dr. Katele Kalumba and MMD’s Lusaka province Chairperson William Banda have submitted that they want Father Frank Bwalya recalled to testify again in a case in which they have been sued for defamation of character.

The duo who have jointly sued with the attorney general in their submissions say that because Father Bwalya is no longer change life executive director, it is necessary for him to be recalled so that he can clarify his status in the matter.

They say that Father Bwalya sued them in his capacity as Change Life Executive director but that it has come to their attention that Father who is the petitioner in the matter has published a statement in the media stating that he is not executive director of Change life.

But father Bwalya’s lawyers feel that the application to recall their client on the stand is prejudice.

And in another case the Lusaka high court has granted directors of Change life Zambia an injunction restraining Father Frank Bwalya from representing himself as the organization’s executive director.

Father Bwalya is a Roman Catholic priest who has been advocating for the change of government through his red card campaign.

However, following criticisms he has received from some of the directors of the Change life Zambia regarding his programs, father Bwalya has decided to change the name of his organization to Get Involved Zambia.

  1. It appears there is a profesor of languages at LT who have been inverting words. Today s/he has ‘ssks’ (in the headline) for us – whatever that means.

  2. Father Post Sata Bwalya surely have hit a 20 century solid brick double wall from Zambians. Good lesson indeed.Soon Father Post Sata Bwalya will be history in Zambian politics with there useless propaganda and MMD and UPND will survive the storm……..

  3. Frank Bwalya is a false priest, a demented clown, a liar, a hypocrite. He was masquareding as Executive Director of Change Life Zambia, now after being exposed he decides unilaterally ‘ to change the name of his organization to Get Involved Zambia.’ Since CLZ is still in existence it just means at the time he sued, he had no legal organisation. CLZ has never been ‘his organisation’.

    In all his dealings, this so called priest does not make reference to The Bible. Instead he is just a mouth piece for Sata. His actions expose him as someone who joined the Priesthood for material comfort. There’s nothing spiritual about this very evil man. The man is so full of himself, very arrogant and dull. He is an embarassment to the Church! I wonder if he owns and reads The Bible. Sata is…

  4. Do Zambian media outlets even produce productive stories any more? hahahahahahahahaha it’s always defamation of character or ancient fossils propagating violence; don’t forget a ka red naka black disgrantled priests, and the computer mouse in chinsali kubwendo wizard hahahahaha. No Hollywood movies ever get scripted this good hahahahaha.

  5. Thank you,Noah at no 3. I am a Christian and since I discovered Emmanuel TV I pray with men of God at the SCOAN every Sunday. Originally, Am Catholic,but now have thought twice because of what happens in this derailed church. They have beer parties at churches and imagine the consequences! T B Joshua never does he talk politics or despise leaders in Nigeria. Instead he works with the government on many projects like reforming robbers and militants by empowering them financially.Our priests will instead steal donations from the church and use them on building their empoverished mothers. Father Walya has lost direction and will fall into a ditch.He is not serious with his Christianity this is exhibited by the hatred he has for people in government who do not even know him.

  6. THANX FR BWALYA AND ALL CATHOLIC PRIESTS FOR YOUR GOOD WORKS.
    SATA HAS FORMED A PACT WITH THE CHURCH,GENUINE NGOs,THE POOR,THOSE WHO WANT JUSTICE AND THOSE WHO WANT CHANGE.
    ONLY PF THE LARGEST OPPOSITION PARTY WILL BRING CHANGE THIS YEAR.
    EMULATE WESTERN PROVINCE,DONT WASTE VOTES ON SMALL TRIBAL PARTIES.
    VOTE VOTE MICHAEL CHILUFYA SATA AND PABWATO COME 2011.
    SATA AND THE WIND OF CHANGE COME WHAT MAY. PABWATOOOOOOOOOOOO 2011.

  7. Father Bwalya is just in the right track.Only those who are comfortable with the skyrocketting corruption RB Mubwezeni ku munzi will be happy.My grandmother in Shang’ombo,Phikamalaza and Misisi compounds are in abject poverty.RB and his crooks are raping the nation right in our eyes.Those who are happy with this regime will not support what father Bwalya is doing.This time around assets for this dubious investor(LAP Green)are being frozen.Why can’t local investors come in and invest in this limping company?Even if local investors were to invest in Zamtel,the first people RB and his crooks will consider are criminals in MMD.A local investor is not respected by these crooks.They will do anything to kill diavergent views.Let Father Bwalya do what he is doing.He is a free man under our…

  8. But pa Zambia kuti walaba nemilandu ukoyatampile! By the time this case is settled Katele will no longer be National Secretary of MMD and may William B will in the foreign service (assuming Ala Bee will carry the day!) and Frank Bwalya will have been taken to a Vatican monastry for some deep soul searching therapy!

  9. ka mambala ka father-with-a-child bwalya kaliko fast. How did the catholic end up with such a gonga? dont they screen applicants? or maybe thats the characteristic they look for in a priest. Ba katolika ndipo mwasebanya. your church iis nothing but a cruel joke

  10. After listening to Father Bwalya, one thing I’ve come to conclude is that he is a DULL CHARACTER.He’s got little educational knowledge. As the saying goes:Little knowledge is more dangerous than no knowlege at all. This chap is a loose and dangerous canon.He reminds me of those Catholic priests just b4 the Rwanda genocide!! Watch and listen to this chap carefully.He’s a very sad boy!!

  11. Ka number 11, 3, 4 and 6 Phiri J Say:
    Walitupa sana iwe!
    I,m sure you think RB is your messiah 2.
    both u dont believe in god’s promises read here and reply to me man/woman whoever u are?.
    (Isaiah 9:6) . . .For there has been a child born to us, there has been a son given to us; and the princely rule will come to be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
    Whom do u think this 1 is? Answer now.

  12. @ No. 6 Phiri J, you will jump from what church to another judging by your reasoning. Blame it on alcohol or any other things but the truth is and will always be “what you are will always be until God touches you”. You are a sinner by nature and your intentions, as a sinner, are bad until you become a new creature and when that happens, you can pass through a red light district, you will not sin. Look up to God not to any man. Ask people who have left Christ Embassy in Makeni why they left. They looked to the senior pastor instead of God. When he fell from God’s grace, they left….

    Simple rule of thumb, anything that the devil condemns must be good. So whenever MMD attacks anyone, think twice. Catholic priests are the most practical men of God you will ever find, I am afraid.

  13. Romans 8:7 tells us that “The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so”.

    Be careful my brother Phiri J.

    Matthew 24:11 “And many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many. … Timothy 3:1-5,7 “But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. … Daniel 2:40-43 “Then there will be a fourth kingdom as strong as iron; …

    Many pentecostal churches are there to make money leaving the poor even poorer. Can you explain to me the reason a man of God should buy a Hummer H3 when there are so many, in his church, in need of shelter, food, education???? Leave Fr. Bwalya alone to help those that need help.

  14. JOHN PHIRI SENIOR at 13. Do you think the answer will be Sata, or Frank Bwalya. No. Is it not obvious to you that even RB is not the Messiah? You are very dull even if you think otherwise! It is clear from those you have attacked that all there are saying is that this misguided priest and his rantings are not The Gospel. Can you compare that worthless mortal Frank Bwalya to The Eternal Father. Not even the Pope or any other earthling in whatever Church should be considered as the Messiah. Read Acts 4:12.

    Ichalo, bantu. Lekeni Sata ateke, Romans 8:7 “The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so”. is also referring to people like Bwalya. Let the Catholic Church Priests earn the approval of God and not be happy with praise of men!

  15. That Bwalya guy is by far not a priest,he is just Sata’s political pawn,Come aftermath of elections,you will never hear of him ever.

  16. There was a MAD judge in the defamation case where I sued the Sunday Chronicle. Read his funny Judgement from your internet

  17. @ 17 Voice of Zondwe: My point is that we should restrain ourselves from condemning others because none of us was born without sin and the verse I quoted [Romans 8:7] is there just as a reminder. I think people are forgetting the message about Bwalya, they are just after his throat. It would be better to discuss what he is condemning. How many mesangers do you want to kill before get the message?

  18. @ 20 I thought Frank Bwalya, as a Priest is supposed to be a messenger of God. Now can anyone tell me, what message from God is Bwalya bearing? Don’t be paranoid, no one wants to kill Bwalya. Let Bwalya put aside his false claim of being a man of God and just campaign like any other politician, and I will respect him for that!! His hypocrisy is just nauseating to say the least!

  19. Lt u mean to say Fr Bwalya has registered a new entity by the name of……. Howver,Thanks,I think u have come out clearly on the rest of the article.

  20. I HAVE ALWAYS SAID FRANK BWALYA IS A DISGRANTED GUY WHO IS AFTER CHEAP THINGS,THE GUY IS A PURE TRIBALIST,IF HE JUST WANTS CHANGE AND HE IS NOT PF WHY CANT HE CAMPAIGN ALONG SIDE OTHER PARTIES???IF HE IS NOT A MOUTH PIECE FOR THIS OUT DATED POLITICIAN(SATA)WHY CANT HE BRING SATA AND HH ON A ROUND TABLE MEETING BUT GOING BY HIS ACTIONS AND POST RUBBISH,THEY JUST WANT THIER TRIBAL MET TO BE AT STATE HOUSE,SATA FAILED WHEN HE WAS IN GOVERNMENT,WHICH NEW THING WILL HE OFFER NOW?????SATA FRANK ARE FRUSTRATED LOOKING FOR POWER,HENCE SOME MINIONS WHATS TO STAND FOR WRONG CHARACTERS LIKE SATA AND A FALSE PRIEST WHO DOESNT HAVE A HOLY HAND FROM GOD!!!!SHAME UPON BWALYA

  21. @ 21 PF (Priest Frank). And what do you understand about “Priest is supposed to be a messenger of God”. He is supposed to preach endurance as the poor are stepped upon I suppose??? Come on guys… There’s a lot of injustice in the country being perpetrated by the custodians of the laws of Zambia. What Fr. Frank Bwalya is doing, is simply enlightening people on the current issues. Why is it that the majority of those against him are MMD cadres? Coincidence? I repeat, do not attack him, just attack his message. Can you compare him to the rantings of Chanda Chimba the Third?

  22. VIVA FATHER FRANK BWALYA,VIVA CATHOLIC CHURCH PRIESTS.
    SATA AND PF COME 2011.
    WIND OF CHANGE IS BLOWING.
    BE PART OF THE BALLOT REVOLUTION.

  23. Munshebwa, aile namafi kubuko. The people of Zambia spoke about the LAP Green deal, did MMD listen? Nay! Today what is the story? People are talking about Gold deposits that are being shipped at night to Australia. Is the MMD government interested in getting money from it and give it to the people through development? Nay!!! So how long should sit as they take everything that belongs to us? not anymore. Fr. Frank Bwalya, please educate the masses on what belongs to them. Peter Tosh said. Everyone is preaching about the beauty of Heaven but noone is ready to die, we want equal rights and justice. NOT peace! Think before you respond!!!!

  24. Ichalo, bantu. Lekeni Sata ateke @ 25. Even false religions talk about the poor. Bwalya’s rantings are worse thanChimba’s because the former claims to be a man of God.Why is it that whenever confronted about the shallowness of their reasoning, all PF supporters can come up with is the nonsense that one is an ‘MMD Cadre’? If being intelligent means being MMD then that is fine with me. All we hear from your camp is ‘Lekeni Sata ateke’ ‘Viva Sata’ ‘PabwatoI’ ‘Donchi Kubeba’ and many f.oolish slogans. Can’t you people articulate your leader’s policies without resorting to cheap slogans, mostly said in Bemba? Then you go on to label other parties as ‘tribal’. Even your great leaders has to use Bemba to get you into a frenzy. Spare the crap about forcing us into supporting the…

  25. Peoplle like judging each other. Let God judge the person and not you in your flesh. Talk about issues affecting a poor man and his family in the compound who is living on a meal (if lucky is on his side) per day, what z RB and the MMD doing about him? Leave fr, Bwalya alone and let him champion the cause of the poor people.

  26. I think Jesus was unfairly judged and killed because he challenged the political arena of his time. Fr Frank, those doubting yo education av never been to school themselves. They r afraid of u.they cannot handle yo education.

    You are a priest in the person of Christ. Help us bring Zambia out of misery. Ba pompwe criticising u r even getting less than a million per month. M****** mweeeee!
    The Gospel is not quoting verses in the bible. The gospel is to help people come out of misery, advocating for the common good.

  27. Father Bwalya speaks for the poor, dont compare him to these useless pentocostal pastors like Shikapwasha, always preaching in classrooms for many years, you are ones vandalising our schools. Ati ba Bishop in a classroom, ba kolwe imwe.

  28. I wish phiri mmd here did not even mention the man of GOD Tb Joshua.ln the first place he him is not like many pentecostal preachers especially in Zambia. Actually Tb Joshua has the same teachings of the oppressed just like the catholics. Only that he has a different approach due to the grace given to him by GOD.Father Bwalya is 100%.He is not violent like these corrupt mmds who lack the ability to debate in an honesty manner.l am not Catholic but priests are the most humble men and women in Zambia who wouldn’t even boast about their accademic achievements because that is immaterial. Some are professors,Doctors,etc in many various areas of human endevour.There is no church that fits into the practical works of Jesus they have done in this country.

  29. What has gone wrong with the Catholic Church which was a respectable Institution in the 1950s, 1960s up to 1980s? The Church has been invaded by religious gangsters who openly insult people, womanise with single and married women. What project is this Church conducting at the expense of peace in Zambia. Does this Church aspire for Rwanda-style genocide in this country. Fr. Bwalya has resorted to telling lies and production of an unlawful children; Bishop Mpundu has blessed Sata for having children with his two sisters. Yet the Vatican chooses to burry its head in the sand. About 90% of noisy Priests are Bemba-speaking. We smell a rat.

  30. Mmds must be sick in their heads. Wise people advise you,you call them names. Some bloggers condemning Fr Bwalya are most unlearned though they might even seen unza collidors .You lack knowledge about the catholics,the Bible and even about politics. This noble field is not for thugs in mmd. Corrupt people from their president to a cadre on the streets. WHAT a people!One day you will cry you croockered people. Ka HH YOU HAVE NO SHAME BY TEAMING UP WITH THESE THUGS THAT HAVE BROUGHT DISGRACE TO MOTHER ZAMBIA.

  31. When mandela became president of South Africa, the only experience he had was prison life but the man proved selfless and was loved by all South Africans. HH has experience in the private sector and all the companies he managed are the most successful, meaning he is a man of success, thats why we need him this time around. When Kaunda became president of Zambia, he was just a teacher without any experience in the public sector and he became a good leader who united zambians. What we need is a person with a good truck record, not these recycled politicians like Sata whose truck record is connected to the third term, etc

  32. I have always wondered why as Zambians we sink so low that in whatever we argue about, we have to toe our political inclinations and turn to insults when the heat is on, why? Why cant we be objective for once? My thinking is that, Father Bwalya, as claimed, speaks for the poor and oppresed. Granted, yes, but why should he speak for the poor by sharing the political podium of one opposition party. Why align himself with this opposition party? if he is in politics, it can make sense, but if it is with the church’s backing, i think it is wrong. We should all be sober enough to distinguish what is right and wrong here. Lets forget our political affiliations and call a spade as such.If all the clergy started doing this accordng to their political affiliations, what can become of this country?

  33. While Jesus did not run for public office, He did take a public stance on the social issues of the day. His radical stance was such that he became a major threat to the authorities, who did away with Him. Jesus did not just”stick to his private values and religious beliefs”, as the secular interests expect Christians to do. He talked about fair wages, unjust trade, oppression of widows and the economic injustices and corruption of his day, even overturning the tables of the moneylenders.

  34. @ 14 John Phiri Senior. Isaiah 9:6 is Christ. And this Christ is manifest in us for as long as we remain in him as he is in the Father (John 15:5).Consequently you, me and anyone else who has Christ is this person in the verse.

  35. conviction in what one is doing is what eventually leads to one leaving a legacy that lasts. being aware of the consquences of the now doings makes one being called the Great. knowledge is the application of one’s vision. I feel great as a catholic to hear Fr Bwalya’s sabbatical leave has finally come to an end. Do the GOOD not just to stare at it.
