Former MMD National Secretary Katele Kalumba, has dragged Labour Minister, Fackson Shamenda to court for allegedly grabbing a piece of land from him.

Dr Kalumba who is a former Finance Minister has since asked the Lusaka High Court to grant him an injunction to restrain Mr Shamenda from carrying out any developments on the said land.

This is contained in a writ of summons filed on Monday before the Lusaka Principal Registry by Dr Kalumba of Lake View house, Natende, Chiengi district, Luapula province.

He has sued Attorney General Mumba Malila as the second defendant pursuant to the State Proceedings Act Chapter 71 of the Laws of Zambia.

He is seeking a declaratory that the re-entry by the Commissioner of Lands on the said plot was null and void and an order that Mr Malila should give back the said Certificate of Title L 318 to him or alternatively to Dr Kalumba and be the re-registered beneficial owner and issued with a Certificate of Title.

Dr Kalumba is further seeking damages, profit accrued, interests and costs from Mr Shamenda.

He contends in his statement of claim that he was the holder of Title number L318 relating to Plot number 9395/M situated in Lusaka province and that Mr Shamenda was purported to be the holder of Certificate number 185050 relating to Lot number 9395/M situated in the same province.

Dr Kalumba said he was at all material times ending October 19, 2012 the registered owner of the property situate in Lusaka and known as Lot Number 9395/M, Lusaka.

He said by October 9, 2012 the Commissioner registered in the Lands and Deeds Registry a Certificate of re-entry and on October 12, 2012, the Registrar of Lands issued a new Certificate of Title number L8550 to Mr Shamenda.

He said when he acquired the said property, he engaged Aquanova Limited to carry out construction of developments but the police had started using the same land as their recreation place and as such it was not available for development.

He said he approached the Commissioner of Lands and attempts were made to give him an alternative piece of land but the same never came to pass.

Dr Kalumba said when the Commissioner of Lands failed to give him alternative land, his wife delivered building materials to the place but was advised by the people he found at the site that the land belonged to Mr Shamenda.

He said this was done without any notice given to him adding that there were no lawful grounds which existed for forfeiture or re-entry of the said property before allocating it to Mr Shamenda.

Dr Kalumba said as a result of Mr Shamenda’s behaviour, he has suffered loss and damages the reason he was seeking relief from the courts of law.

He is being represented by Vincent Malambo and Company.

  1. They want to first deliver on promises they made to their families ,the people of zambia s campaign promises will be fulfilled later.

  2. Mushota,, PhD candidates do not behave like you are doing. If you continue trolling like this you will not fulfil you accademic dreams. Already you were asking blogers for pointers of scholarships…what a split life you are leading.

    • Ba Mushota,
      It sounds to me that its you who is backward. Surely you don’t understand that in Zambia will still have a lot of virgin land and so its not necessary to buy old properties or already made properties and I hear from Mwendajangula that you are studying a PHD? How unfortunate will it be to call you Dr. Clearly you don’t deserve a grade five certficate even though it doesn’t exist here in Zambia but on the account of your dullness, I’m sure you will go and start looking for one. God save Zambia from pompous educated *****s 

  3. please people why do you waste time commenting on useless posts by Orios like mushota. if nobody comments what it is. it Will stop being an *****.

  4. #6 agree. Doesn’t shamenda know that Katele is a chief whom you can’t play balls with? i will wait and see where the ball will be scored. i think we need Dennis liwewe to be the commetator over this game.

  5. mushota has been indoctrinated. Ati ‘Just buy ready made properties that is what we do here in UK?’. with a question mark, what a disgrace. You mean your so called ready made properties were not erected on bare land? You need land to build, ma rubbish. By the way, there are alot of Zambians in more sophisticated countries like USA, France, Japan, German, Holland etc who behave sanely not you in that ka kingdom with archaic buildings and dirty housing projects.

  6. Katele never loose cases, Shamenda yamukosela. I just feel pit for Malila he is a gentleman. I wish it was Mutombelwa Nchito suide, nga bamukasa amatipa kuli Chief Natede Katele.

  7. shamenda do u kno chiengi school of medicine. don’t jst grab land because of u are a minister,tomorrow  u wont be there

  8. This is a straight forward case the land belongs to Kalumba, it should not have gone this far anyway, am sure someone was eyeing this plot the reason they were blocking development. Ba Shamenda nensoni tamwakwata, more money in their pockets bakabolala

  9. Is katele now a priest? he seem to wear umukansu waba patili, maybe now he is called Fr. chief katele kaumba. Bamupoka impanga kubanakwe ba politician ba pa zed balishupa, they are manipulators

  10. The quality of a blog is measured by the quality of its contributors.  You have to wonder how a blogger like Mushota is allowed to post the kind of tripe she/he posts here while more intelligent contributions are blocked by LT!!

  11. Maestro Hanananahhhehe…………….you have now recovered from that severe shock you suffered when your prefered presido candidate HH suffered a humiliating defeat last year 2011 presidential elections. Nice to hear you are back.

  12. Uyu umwanakashi cipuba even in the UK you can find undeveloped land or even redeveloped land. Zambia is three times the size of the UK with a quarter of the population. We have land a lot of land.

    This ka cheap twat is always making noise without using her room temperature IQ. She is on social welfare with several brats without fathers so that she can collect benefits. Which University worth its salt would give a degree let alone a PhD to a brainless twit like Mushota.

  13. My niece Mushota taulaleka ubu hule ku UK. Watushila abeshikulu kuno ku Zambia and you don’t send any money. We here you make a lot o money standing on street corners in London. My only wish is you send some money for these bastards you left here in Zambia.

    P.S. Tukapose aya ama ARV you have left behind here in Kanyama.
