Opposition National Revolution Party (NRP) president Cosmo Mumba says he will next launch his black card campaign against outspoken Catholic clergy cum politician Father Frank Bwalya.

Dr. Mumba says his campaign will also target opposition MMD leader Nevers Mumba to make the duo to return to the pulpit because politics is a wrong for a for them.

He says he will be wearing black attire to symbolize that he was against the two former clergymen who have turned politicians.

Dr. Mumba accused father Bwalya and Dr. Mumba of abandoning the church in preference for politics for selfish gains.

He was speaking in Chongwe district yesterday shortly after republican President Michael Sata laid a foundation stone for the construction of Zambia’s fourth public University, Palabana.

“Next week, l will be putting on black clothes in protest and launch against Fr. Bwalya and Dr. Mumba because they should resign from politics and return to the pulpit where they belong,” the vividly annoyed Mumba said.

The outspoken clergyman, Father Bwalya put up his famous Red Card during the pre – 2011 September Tripartite elections against the then ruling MMD.

And Dr. Mumba has charged that Fr. Bwalya is a Tonga by tribe who originates from Pemba district in Southern province where his biological father hails from.

He said Fr. Bwalya is using her mothers’ name and publicly called him ‘Habwalya’ instead of duping the Zambian people that he was a Bemba by tribe when infact he is not.

He challenged Fr. Bwaya to take him to court over his statement if he refutes that he was a Tonga by tribe and not a Bemba.

He added that UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema, Fr. Bwalya and Dr. Mumba were misdirected by criticizing the government of the day which he said it was performing well.

He urged the trio to wait for 2016 elections when there will be general elections and desist from issuing disparaging remarks against the Head of State and the entire Patriotic front leadership that Zambia is headed for economic hardships.

The NRP leader lashed out at fr. Bwalya for championing and supporting gay rights contrary to the country’s constitution.

Fr. Bwalya, a former Executive Director of Get Involved Zambia recently resigned as Chairman of the ZESCO Board of Directors is quoted having said he supports gay rights a move that has raised public outcry.

The Catholic Priest has since formed his political party called Alliance for Better Zambia (ABZ).

  1. cosmo will u ever think or act like u have brains all im seeing here is that your father is mr munkombwe you just want attention red card worked but black card ………lol

    • Ndobo, it is you who need to know that black is not opposite of red because Mumba did not say anything about opposite colors.

    • @chwechwe
      why is your brain refusing to understand simple facts? mumba is throwing a counter attack against bwalya by flashing a black card at him? the question is, is black the opposite of red as fr, bwalya is the father of the red card move!

    • Ndobo, do you smoke dobo? Chwechwe is right and it seems you cannot get the response. It is you who need your brain to be checked on whether black is the opposite of red.

  2. This guy is sick in his head. Just join PF so that u can also get the benefit.
    After being educated & brought up by Dr N Mumba today waba ba champion. U need a whip !

  3. Mumba leave Frank alone. U are educated and we expect u to be politically creative and not be a copy cut. We need opposition for the current government to be on its toes. Pls stop killing the opposition in such cheap ways like digging on your opponents past, tribal origins etc. So what if he chose to use his mother’s name n not his father? Tawamonako iwe?!

  4. Politcs of the belly. Cosmo. You are a disgrace to the youths. You are supposed to be speaking for the voiceless in the society, you need to gun up with your colleagues in the opposition to provide checks & balances. That black card will be against you for dining with oppressers of the majority Zambian.

  5. without any malice or ill will on my part, fellow Zambians, stop calling or saying that Cosmo is educated, who told you please? find out. how does the man begin to be called doctor? which university did he go to or awarded him such a degree. school is very painful and people earn these things. this is serious and not politics at all, cosmo is not a PhD holder and if he has, it could be a honorary like the one ba Rupiah was given and refused to use. I encourage you to find out more. i don not care what he does for his politics but not be going around masquerading and duping many of you country mates that he is a doctor, to where?

  6. This a bastard who will regret his current inclination when Zambians arrest & electrocute Sata’s Impotent Testicles!

    I hate to hear from this animal who is eating our money through bribbes from Sata & his criminals PF govt leaders.

  7. COSMO IT SEEMS PF AND THEIR SUPPORTERS CANNOT ABANDONE THE TRIBE ISSUE. SO WHAT IF THE FATHER WAS TONGA FROM PEMBA?

    DOES THAT TAKE AWAY ANYTHING FROM Fr BWALYA. LELO MULECHIMONA, ONLY FOOLS CAN SUPPORT PF ON THE REMOVAL OF SUBSIDIES.

    PF IS NO LONGER WANTED ON THE COPPERBELT, THEY HAVE LOST THE SUPPORT WAIT AND SEE. SATA WILL NEVER ADDRESS A SUCESSFUL RALLY ON THE COPPERBELT I CHALLENGE HIM TO DO SO. WA BUFI SATA NA 90 DAYS NONSENSE. BLOATED MINISTERS NUMBERS, INDUCED BY-ELECTIONS AND FOOLISHNESS. LET HIS URINE BAG POISON HIM.

  8. People think earning a PhD is cheap???? try it and come on the platform. Juts a reasoning will tell you level of critic in some one with a PhD. Ask those who have gone through it and those that are doing it now, they will tell you a tell. Those with PhD will not even waste time to YAP like Cosmo..unless he got his from Matero…

  9. Cosmo the “Useful *****” indeed.I wonder why he always talkks about Dr Nevers Mumba who has never responded to all the nonsence he parrots.I hope his family members like Mrs Florence Mwewa can do something to cage this wayward lunatic.Two can not move together unless they be agreed-Cosmo and Sata(n).

  10. Is this not the boy who disappeared and went into hiding after PF won the Elections? Some boys have not even 0.001% sense of shame!!!

  11. Frank Bwalya is a threat to all of you just shut up if your party is a subsidiary of the PF. How can you support the nonsense happening in the country and start fighting your fellow oppositions? Leave him alone. Whether Tonga or Bemba, He is still Zambian. You should also drop the title of Doctor because your reasoning doesn’t match with the title. Your are behaving like a Mandevu PF cadre.

  12. Where did this foolish man get his education? Leave the 2 priests alone. You politics of the belly man. Wear black and it means death of your party and PF.

  13. Just another douche bag on P.F’s payroll. Reminds me of Gregory Chifire. He is quiet nowadays. I guess his masters (MMD) can no longer pay him now that they are out of power.

  14. Does it matter wether one is Tonga or Bemba . The stupid comments illustrates the low calibre of our politicians in Zambia

    • my dear in zambia it matters wat tribe one is lets not pretend.i will understand if u left zambia during kaunda time..

  15. Cosmo, Cosmo! How many times did I call you? What is coming out of your mouth is total crap! Stop talking like you’ve just lost your head or are speaking from your belly? Be careful with your Sata, the next time you wake finding him chewing your heard 🙁

    Ba wailer, you are right. I actually thought this Cosmo is PF.

  17. INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT: The ICC should take note of politicians like Cosmo Mumba. Cosmo Mumba is a self-proclaimed tribalist, who does not ascribe to the principle that Zambia is a multi-tribe country, where no tribe is superior to any other. The statement by Cosmo Mumba implies that to be a Tonga is an offense, a crime and a distasteful quality and only that Bemba is an acceptable tribe for leadership positions in Zambia. This attitude and belief can cause disharmony in the nation. The fact that such things can be said in the direct presence of the president of the country is even more worrying. It is so disheartening to see the international community, especially the member organizations of the United Nations system in Zambia keep so quiet when certain groups so blatantly oppress

  18. INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT (cont.): It is so disheartening to see the international community, especially the member organizations of the United Nations system in Zambia keep so quiet when certain groups so blatantly oppress other people on the basis of tribe almost daily. Why does the ICC wait until people are displaced or crimes against humanity committed before they act, indicting the leadership? The ICC should be proactive and preventative, instead of waiting for opportunities to create employment for themselves. The ICC indicted Kenyatta, the president of Kenya for offenses that had similar causes as inciting tribal sentiments, such as Cosmo Mumba has done here.

  19. PLEASE FELLOW COUNRTYMEN AND WOMEN, NEVER OR EVER CALL MR. NEVERS MUMBA AND MR. COSOMO MUMBA ”TITLE” OF DOCTORS, BOTH THIS TWO FOOLS NOT PHD HOLDERS, BOTH FOOLS ARE GRADE 12 LEAVERS. THEY ARE NOT DOCTORS PLEASE. MAYBE WE HAVE TO ADDRESS THEM THIS TITLE TRADITIONAL DOCTORS. Tdr. (traditional doctor) NEVER MUMBS, AND Tdr. COSMO MUMBA. Our little Fr. Bwalya of mentioning HOMO/GAY Marriages, the chap politcal future is Zero over Zero.

  20. Ba LusTimes I think the caption on your picture above shud read: National Revolution Party (NRP) president elect Cozmo Mumba lifted shoulder high by his four supporters after winning the party presidence at a convention held in Lusaka

  21. Its not what Cosmo said that’s disturbing and bizarre, but the eerie silence his statement received from the Republican President and the Chieftain. The former is the head of State and a unifying symbol of 72 + tribes in Zambia while the latter is a Tribal chief of an area that comprises Soli / Tonga as the majority. Speaks volumes of the levels of mediocrity and danger that our politics have reached. Quite a few number of international organizations and ordinary people have been whispering that Sata is deliberately fanning ethnic tension for reasons best known to himself. They need not whisper anymore. Red genocide signals are flashing dangerously. Act now.

  22. Cosmo, you are doctor in which field? You studied theology why haven’t you also gone back to teach Sunday school which is your field of specialization? You are shameless young man. You did the same under MMD against PF, today you have seen sense in PF? What a shame and a waste.

  23. We now know who is Tribal, which tribe does not like other tribes….campaign against someone on tribal ground will not work anymore, fyakale

  24. Ba Cosmo, you are the one who is a hypocrite. You want to show people that you are in support of PF because you are a broke chap and you want to use PF. Nevers Mumba is your blood brother. You just want to show Zambians that you are a genuine person. You are not. I personally know your background through the Mwewas. Can you tell the Zambians where your ‘Dr’ comes from. It is from the pulpit too. So stop cheating the Zambians, you are more hungry than Nevers and Frank Bwalya.

  25. Cosmo has no PHD you people,he was honoured by some institution in the states for his work in HIV and something like that…i think that made him feel as though he was a real learned Phd…there is a difference so let him chill coz he will end up like his friend Siulapwa..support On merrit not on Pockets.

  26. Cosmo you are a fool; what is wrong with being Tonga. The implication of your statement is that it is shameful to be Tonga. Can you imagine if this trash statement was uttered by a Tonga! There would have been absolute mayhem about Tongas being tribal. This chap Cosmo is a disgrace and I hope he reads this.

  27. There are no guarantees that the results you receive are the results you envisioned for yourself.
    You should approach a doctor, if after removal of skin tags,
    bleeding continues. Skin tags are most often benign growths that don’t
    need treatment or removal.
