Opposition Zambians for Empowerment and Development (ZED) President Fred Mutesa has urged Justice Minister Wynter Kabimba not to be personal on the Honorary Prize for African Democracy awarded to former President Rupiah Banda.

Opposition Zambians for Empowerment and Development (ZED) President Fred Mutesa has urged Justice Minister Wynter Kabimba not to be personal on the Honorary Prize for African Democracy awarded to former President Rupiah Banda.

Mr. Banda was honored for his contribution to the wellbeing of Zambians and for respecting the will of the people at the 2012 Lifetime Africa Achievement Prize-giving ceremony held in Kenya on Saturday.

But Mr. Kabimba is quoted in some sections of the media disputing Mr. Banda’s recognition stating that he does not deserve it.

But speaking in an interview with Qfm News, the ZED president says Mr. Banda’s recognition should be commended by well meaning Zambians as it underscores the importance of democracy and the rule of law.

Dr. Mutesa says the recognition of president Banda should not be politicized.
He says Mr. Kabimba should realize that Mr. Banda’s gesture of accepting defeat following last year’s general elections cannot be taken away from him and has earned him International recognition.

Dr. Mutesa says it is therefore important for people to congratulate Mr. Banda for his achievements regardless of their political affiliation.

  1. Correct Doc, considering that the award was conferred on him in a country which witnessed post-election violence after leading political candidates refused to accept electoral defeat.The award is timely as Kenya goes to the polls in the next three months which will serve as a credibility test for the country’s growing political maturity under the new constitution enacted in 2010.

  2. People like kabimba can not appreciate anything in what RB did.he spoke the loudest on RB corruption yet he  his turning out to be the most corrupt man in the country.there is victory in defeat.people like kabimba do not know what RB achieve by accepting defeat.l truly feel for my country with this type of pf leadership.

  3. Kabimba at one time even denounced KK. Yet today he is seen sitting next to him at national gatherings. He is a petty-minded politician with little to offer for Zambia.

  4. Kabimba is saturated with bitterness translated into his speeches any where you hear him bitterness is felt. As at now Kabimba is unable to display statemanship as his master Sata has always failed this test. Remember when Sata just went into state house where he displayed mannerism of a person in need of psychiatric treatment. Dreams were his headlines in the Post newspaper. Corruption of RB, Gold scandle, Thandiwe Hotels in Tanzania, Nevers Mumba financial thefts at Zambian embassy in Canada, the list goes on. Such are alarm allegations devils frighten people with and fear and falsehood engulfs a nation for Satan to look a saint without bad acts. Wait for Kabimba to rape Zambia as the next devil when Sata is gone.

  5. This PF officials are busy commenting and responding to all the trivia things and never responds to the most important issues. I am sure Sakeni will issue a statement as well followed by Chellah and finally Sata eiishhh! When do they get time to work if all they do is write and issue press statements?

  6. Kabimba is a failed DOG that has never achieved anything. Over the years PF was in opposition, they filed dozens of court cases with Kabimba as the party’s lawyer. He never won any of the cases and some infact got dismissed with costs. I doubt if Kabimba has won any case at all in any court of Zambia. He has never won and election and he is dull. So one can understand why Kabimba with his inferiority complex wants to bring down equally educated and more sucessful Rupiah Banda. Kabimba will never acheive what RB has achieved in life, and the earlier he accepts that the better for his own health. I don’t know who brought this dog Kabimba into Zambian politics…and 2016 can’t come soon enough. We are tired of this stink.

  7. This Kabimba guy, what’s his problem? It’s always advisable to take a nap after taking ARV’s otherwise this guy will soon insult his President. It appears he thinks using with his mouth.. Ba lawyer, lawyer mafi.

  8. The sad part of the all pf thing is that leadership maturity does not exist and the few that tries to exbit such are give ultimatums to either be fired or stop being reasonable.

    It is people like kabimba that will destroy the entire pf and by the time every one realizes it will be too late.

    The  once mighty pf is speedily loosing it’s original momentum and to be honest if we are to vote today, I can’t vote for pf as Iam regretting heavily having voted for these guys in the last general elections

  9. Mr.President kindly tame this Winter “Maize” Kabimba can’t you see he is just causing confusion in PF. He suffers from mouth diarrhea and he is not normal, who can a normal person talking on every issue.Awe ba PF let’s not torelate this ***** he has gone too far,afterall mutulatula.

  10. sometimes silence is better especially when you r not sure you will speak sense,bwana winter not every thing requires a comment from your office,allace people grade you as an empty tin with biterness like hakahivotela haka..do things differantly and justify your stay in power.

  11. Kabimba, this small boy from Mumbwa thinks he has arrived as far as the rough game of politics is concerned. He is so immature that he is not fit to hold a ministerial position. Is it true that he is a lawyer? If it is true, where did he study law?

  12. Dr. Mtesa/ ZED President, sir don’t waiste your time educating very dull and foolish chaps like Kabimba! Even the chaps who reported his outbursts are equally useless. Well meaning Jounalists must as well diggest what to report and not just evey junk from every jim & junk!

  13. DEAR WINTER, IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO ADAPT AND CHANGE. GOD CREATED US WITH THESE SPECIAL ATTRIBUTES. MY ADVISE TO YOU IS FREE BECAUSE I TRUELY LOVE YOU.

    BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, CHANGE AND ADAPT. IN FACT EMULATE GIVEN LUBINDA WHO HAS DISPLAYED SERIOUS LEADERSHIP QUALITIES.

    GIVEN NEVER YAPS ANY HOW. PLEASE ADAPT AND CHANGE. WE LOVE YOU WINTER BUT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ADAPT VERY QUICKLY AND CHANGE. ZAMBIANS ARE FORGIVING BUT DON’T TAKE THEM FOR GRANTED.

  14. R.B has at least stayed away from active politics.
    Your KK you are celebrating is PF carder.
    He couldn’t swallow the defeat he suffered to MMD and tried all he could to reclaim power.
    Who should be honoured between the two?

  15. Why such bitterness Mr Kabimba? Just wait till the current president starts getting awards that you can applaud! Don’t be bitter!!!!!!!

  16. HOW THE MMD PLUNDERED ZAMBIA’S CASH
    Johannesburg – Almost $9bn was illicitly siphoned out of Zambia, Africa’s top copper producer over the last decade, according to a report by a US anti-graft watchdog, which highlights how resource wealth is often squandered in the developing world.
    The amount is almost half the size of Zambia’s current gross domestic product and much of the money would have been channeled to offshore banks and tax havens, draining one of the world’s poorest countries of badly needed capital.

  17. Major commodity producers seem especially susceptible to these trends because of the often opaque nature of resources industries.
    Last year, calculations provided to Reuters by GFI estimated that Zambia’s neighbour Angola, Africa’s second-largest oil producer, had lost almost $6bn to capital flight in 2009.
    Aside from trade misinvoicing, money can also be spirited illegally offshore via official corruption or criminal activities, which can be traced through balance of payments data.
    GFI uses the International Monetary Fund’s Direction of Trade statistics for its calculations.
    Zambian government officials have long maintained copper producers in the country have not been paying their share of taxes.

  18. We sympathise with Kabimba’s family because the man has grown into a wild beast. His criticism of his own colleagues in PF and any human being that he sees moving close to his shadow, Kabimba will instinctively start barking like a rabies-infected mongrel. If Kabimba owns any fleet of chickens or pigs at all, these animals will never recognise him as their owner. Each time we see his face on ZNBC we just switch off our TV. Zambians know that RB is a well respected former President for whom we are proud of his international recognition.Apparently, the SPSS statistical package classifies and clusters Kabimba’s boss along with Idi Amin, Hitler and Gbagbo.

  19. Kano nga ebo! this award should be an honor to the nation. Thats why our nation does not progress because all we think about is negativity.

  20. Kabimba daft as he is known to be, the chap is too entrenched in bitterness and envy such that it has never spared him a day off his insanity trash. I can’t help but wonder if our mental health system bears some of the blame. 

  21. Kabimba has a troubled life with evidence of a “personality disorder” and other “Serious mental health issues bordering of failed behavioral issues.” He also had some type of schizophrenia.  Every time he rants you see evidence of autism in him. President Sata is better off to commit Kabimba involuntarily to Chinama before ruins the country.

  22. I love this. I hate Kabimba and his political ambitions and aspirations. He is a useless young promising politician Zambia has ever had in history. He is destroying his political carer.

    He has become arrogant to even to the WESTERN world termed MMD and helped PF to be in power, now the WEST can not teach PF.

    He is being used by Sata just as Chiluba in his time used Katele Kalumba, and destroyed Kalumba’s political carer. The young Turkeys, Katele Kalumba became a corrupt person with insurmountable corrupt cases in the court of law and was at the mercy of every President of Zambia to be abused and used for political reasons.

  23. I meant to write that, ‘He has become arrogant to even to the WESTERN world, the WEST termed MMD and helped PF to be in power, now the WEST can not teach PF.

  24. Bwana Kabimba is expecting Mr banda to be such an angel that when an award is given it resonates with his rating scheme! Mr Band was President of Zambia and he did some things well. Being human he erred in some but that does not turn a blind eye to the efforts of democracy he put in place. There were a number of by-elctions that PF won some and MMD won some. If he was not democratic PF would have won nothing! The hand over of power afte the elections was amazing to say the least especially that power is sweetest in Africa! bwana kabimba would not have made it into government if that had not happened. We should see Mr banda’s cup as half full instead of always seeing his presidential cup as half empty!

  25. Blessings, where are you? Kabimba could use even one positive comment after the bashing he has received from all 36 comments above and mine also because i cannot stand that man. Even my TV is spooked that i go crazy giving it the finger when either kabimba or news of wat sata said is shown.

  26. Dear zambians, this chap called kabimba has a backing fro his uneducated boss he said it loud and clear, any wise president like LEVY.cant offer such a feck lawyer a serious ministerial job. I conquer wit some writter, ARVS are making this man bark all the time just like the late Tetamashimba. Am happy for RB AND CHRIS KATONGO. GOD will punish KK ,SATA, MEMBE,NCHTO ,MASEBO AND WINTER.

  27. I SUPPORT THE PF. BUT MR KABIMBA IS JUST BECOMING TOO MUCH. AWE MWANDI. WE ALREADY KNOW THAT MOST AFRICAN LEADERS DO NOT FIND IT EASY TO RELINGUISH POWER. BUT THE FEW THAT MANAGE TO DO SO, ALBEIT VERY UNWILLINGLY, NEED TO BE COMMENDED. A SMALL EFFORT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION SHOULD BE REWARDED. SO ITS NOT WRONG TO AWARD OLD-MAN BANDA WITH THIS REWARD. WE HOPE OTHER AFRICAN LEADERS WILL SURRENDER POWER EVEN MUCH DECENTLY.

  28. RB only ruled for 3 years, ZMK was only at 3500 per 1 $ in a short time. Y is your ZMK @5300 per 1 $ if you have brains??? This is close to 2 year in office now!! leave RB with his honouraries alone. Insoni ebuntu ba Winter.

  29. Mushota where are you!! Here in Zambia we hv all it takes to be connected on the net wherever we go, even when we go to Scotland, we cnt be quite. Mwaishile palupe ku Zambia mayo!!

  30. i have no problem with RB receiving those awards. maybe kabimba does not recognize and realise that RB was president of zambia. it is a pity that we dont wanna see what other countries see in us
