Management at First Inn in Mufumbwe where MMD President Nevers Mumba is lodging is under pressure to evict the opposition leader under instructions from the PF campaign team in the area.

Dr. Mumba and his campaign team have been accommodated at First Inn since arriving in Mufumbwe on Tuesday but are now facing eviction after the PF instructed management at the Lodge to evict them.

Lodge management confirmed that the PF threatened to mobilize hundreds of youths to forcefully evict Dr. Mumba and his team.

The unruly PF youths were blocked from getting near the Lodge after the police were called in to rescue the situation.

MMD Youth National Secretary Tobias Kafumukache accused the PF of creating an artificial shortage of accommodation in Mufumbwe in order to frustrate the MMD campaign which has gained momentum.

“What is happening here is that they are so scared of Dr. Mumba’s presence in the area and they have started intimating our supporters. At this stage, violence is imminent and we want to the police to remain vigilant,” Mr. Kafumukache said.

“Here at First Inn, they told management to send us out, we went to Bert Mushala’s Eclipse Lodge within the same area and management there also told us that they have received instruction to not allow anyone who is not PF to book a room,” he said.

Mr. Kafumukache said the unruly PF youths who have been transported mostly from the Copperbelt are bent on causing confusion.

“We have resolved that we are not going to check out our President (Dr. Mumba) from First Inn, these are just attempts to frustrate our campaigns because they have realized that they are losing Mufumbwe,” Mr. Kafumukache said.

  1. Declaring Psalm 35 over everyone and the root cause of  violence and chaos in the country. Zambia is a peaceful country and we do not need it to be tainted, the legacy of a peaceful nation shall live on to the next generations. Opposition Parties continue maintaining your calm and Maturity and Zambians themselves will decide. Why are the churches, NGO’s so quiet over what is going on in the country, tribalism, Barotseland, oppression and refusal of rallies. May the Lord arise over our Land, Zambia belongs to Jesus and our land shall not be defiled by evil, Jesus defeated all evil  on the cross of Calvary

  2. Opposition Parties retaliation is not the way forward no one will know the difference between who is violent, learn from Kenya Uhuru Kenyatta he is accused of organizing a gang to fight back and retaliate against ODM’s attack he is facing trial at the Hague together with Ruto who was accused of organizing the attacks. Violence does not pay, just be calm, mature  engage the police if they are non responsive engage human rights groups and the Hague. Take photos and videos of the violence as proof of the violence and present them to Human rights organizations. Zambia is a peaceful country and it does not need violence in Jesus name.

  3. We need servant leadership in Zambia and not this violence and causing chaos to get leadership and maintain leadership. May the Lord raise  the right leaders for Zambia who will preserve the peace of our land and truly serve everyone in Zambia. Politicians both ruling and opposition beware do not turn our country into a battlefield to serve interests best known to your selves 

  4. God will not sit back when you cause violence and chaos, he will fight back and really hard  he needs peace in our country so that people may come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Do not cause suffering to innocent Zambians. Do not be a hindrance to God’s plans over Zambia, may the lord visit you with terrifying dreams and visions like Nebuchadnezzar Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin. If you do not repent may psalm 35 become reality over you and your families.

  5. that is how PF thugs behave. these chaps will refuse to hand over power when they loose elections in 2016. HH warned you about these PF maritias and you took him for granted

  6. LT and all all news reporters  we do not want news of violence without pictures or videos of the violence , people won’t take the news seriously and this need to be used as proof before Human rights Organizations, even police comments that there is nothing they can do or just watching wthout acting or stopping violence should be enough proof before the Human rights Organizations, we are tired of this violence over our land, may the Lord arise over Zambia . Pictures speak louder than words

  7. God bless Zambia and all peaceful Zambians, may the Lord preserve all innocent Zambians, we refuse that innocent Zambians will be scampering for safety  like war torn countries because there is no one to protect them, this is not Zambian’s portion or inheritance, may the Lord raise up intercessors to pray for Zambia day and night who will give him no rest until justice, righteousness and peace is established in Zambia.May judgement be upon all root causes of violence in our nation.

  8. It is heart breaking when you think of innocent Zambians especially the children who have dreams of a better Zambia, excited about the first day of school and anticipating a great future to think that they may be subjected to a violent country, Lord save us save our country, bring conviction upon these violent and selfish individuals concerning the peace that they enjoyed when they were growing up and let them realize that the Zambian children deserve this peace too including future generations. For the sake of future generations may the Lord  bring judgement upon the  root cause e of this increasing violence upon our land.

  9. Countrymen, the foregoing righteous comments from ‘Zambia is a peaceful country’ should be emulated by all of us. Righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost for Zambia indeed!

    • you never had such things where? freedom makes us forget the ills done in the past but dont foget or you didnt knw that william banda beat up pio and knifed them in chongwe, mmd had clashes with UPND in mfumbwe some time back? so whats it you saying this never used to hapen.

  10. Declaring Psalm 91 over Dr Mumba and HH and their families and MMD, UPND and all true opposition parties.

    • I thought as a man of God you need to pray for everyone including your enemies. Mind you, the creator does not see us as enemies. We are all his children irrespective of our differences. But yet, you have chosen to take sides on the side of the opposition. What about those in the middle that do not support either?

  11. OMG, jehovah is my God, He is my shield and buckler…… He is my everything………… No fear in Mufumbwe Dr. Nevers Mumba we are with you in prayers, in spirit, and the physical if the PF decide to attack you physically we shall rise high above them and hit back.

  12. Matthew 11:12

    12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

  13. A lot of people who are not MMD will come in by force and other will come back rushing in to join the party and Dr. Nevers Mumba, then you will see that this is God at work and Zambia shall be saved.

  14. For 20 years we waited; now its your turn. How does it feel to be in the opposition? Fear not bane; mukose!!

    • Well said. We all pray to the same Jehovah almighty God. Now is the the time for the PF and yet the human mind still want to fight God the father and creator of all living things and everything. We should continue praying for them, because they are also zambians and our brothers.

  15. a taste of your own medicine…MMD.. u sowed these seeds of violence..am not for violenece but your party sowed them and its time to reap what they sowed..oops!

  16. These PF animals and their *****ic leaders should all be sentenced to life imprisonment when they leave office. We are tired of these jackals causinf havoc in our peaceful nation. One day someone will be made to account for this..just one day. Let them continue, we are watching them very closely.

  17. Am MMD supporter Am PF but this sort of behavior must be STOPPED by PF.We do not want this KAPONYA type of behaviour.PF leadership do something very urgent.

  18. PF YOU HAVE PROVED TO BE A PARTY OF THUGS.ANY ONE WHO HAS TRAVELLED BETWEEN KASEPA TURN OFF AND MUFUMBWE YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE ROAD HAS ALOT OF DANGREROUS CURVES BUT THE ROAD SIGNS ALL ALONG THE WAY HAVE PAINTED PAINTED WITH PF AND MASUMBA IN GREEN PAINT MAKING IT DIFFICULTY TO SEE AHEAD.THIS IS NOT THE TYPE OF CAMPAIGN WHICH IS DESTROYING THE LITTLE MMD PUT IN PLACE.WHY THE FEAR IF YOU ARE POPULAR?
    PLEASE WE DONT WANT VIOLENCE.ALL THOSE THUGS HIRED FROM COPPERBELT MUST VACANT BEFORE THEY ARE BURRIED IN MUFUMBWE.

  19. Satan must be ruling this zambezi country where party cadres determine who lodges in a town. i’m at loss for any more words

  20. Opposition Parties Self Defense is not the way forward no one will know the difference between who is violent, learn from Kenya Uhuru Kenyatta he is accused of organizing a gang to fight back and retaliate against ODM’s attack he is facing trail at the Hague together with Ruto who was accused of organizing the attacks. Violence does not pay, just be calm, mature engage the police if they are non responsive engage human rights groups and the Hague. Take photos and videos of the violence as proof of the violence and present them to Human rights organizations. Zambia is a peaceful country and it does not need violence in Jesus name.

  21. MAY THE LORD PROTECT NEVERS MUMBA AND HH ..ANY PARTY OR ANYONE WHO IS NOT FOR PEACE MAY THE LORD OF JUSTICE VISIT THEM.

  22. MMD is full of liars including Nevers Mumba who was told that between this date and that date the lodge has been booked by the PF and they have paid in advance. When the date arrived and the PF campaign team stated arriving at the First Inn lodge, Mumba could not check out as he had failed to secure another room since most rooms have been booked and paid for by the PF. This is what infuriated the PF. Get your facts before commenting biasely!

  23. MMD need to record those statements from the lodge owners to use in a court petition should PF ‘win’.

    Let them write the instructions or give you a copy. If they can not voice record their eviction instructions

  24. # 5 you are big foolish dull *****, use your brains when articulating issues of national interest,you are the same chaps who are inciting violence,are you judas to tell what the future of PF who be..??? mind your useless tongue you son of the devil and your grandfather lucifa

  25. Pastor Mumbwe must not alarm the nation . Politics is not victory ministries were you expect everyone to bow down in prayer. Mu ma pollitics mwaliba ukuponoka no ku tukwa.

  26. Ba MMD balefwaikwa ukubaponona sana. Ichi chi pastor mumbwe kuchiponona sana before he causes confusion in Mufumbwe. He must be told that Mufumbwe is for UPND only.

  27. I am a PF supporter but this is stupidity of the highest calibre from the PF. Let Dr Mumba campaign freely just like you are doing. Being in government does not warranty you dictate what the opposition can or cant do. Lets demonstrate the true democracy by competing with each other without duress. It’s cadres like you that are giving the party a bad name. Please, leave the MMD and UNIP to campaign as they so wish so that the people of Mufumbwe vote for who they truly want. By the way, these opposition parties are zambians too and they are entitled to the same freedom the ruling party is enjoying. Mwalaleka tuposemo umwepu because of bullcrap like this. Let everyone campaign freely.
