MMD President Nevers Mumba has been warned and cautioned for allegedly defaming republican President Michael Sata.
Dr. Mumba who appeared for questioning at Woodlands Police Station in the company of his wife Florence, several party MPs, party officials and his lawyers was interrogated for over 30 minutes.
And Dr Mumba told Journalists later that he will not be intimidated by schemes to arrest him by President Sata using the police.
“Let me make it clear that insulting is not in my nature. I’m a Pastor, I don’t even remember when I last insulted anyone but I will come out whenever there is evil happening in this country to speak out,” Dr Mumba said.
He added; “I know it’s not right for this President to continue lying to the people of Zambia. Are we not supposed to question this government? Can’t we ask?”

Dr Mumba vowed that he is ready to pay the highest price to ensure that the freedoms of Zambians are protected.
“There are ploys to assassinate me. President Sata left instruction to have Nevers arrested before leaving for New York but I want to make it clear to this government that we will not stop speaking for Zambians.”
He said it is the duty of the opposition to hold this government accountable for every lie it has told the Zambians.
He added, “It’s now two years and none of those promises President Sata made has come through, if jail and assassination plots is what he will use to intimidate, let him be my guest.”
Dr. Mumba said he is merely performing his duty as an opposition leader of providing checks and balances.
He added that for as long as the PF government fails to fulfill their 2011 campaign promises, he will continue criticizing them.
Dr. Mumba was summoned by police to appear for questioning following remarks he made on a radio program on Joy FM last week in Lusaka.
Mulekeni Nevers ba ngwele
PF has no advisors.
“There are ploys to assassinate me…..”
Really Ba Pastor or is this irresponsible reporting??
Meanwhile PF in Solwezi have endorsed Kabimba as PF sole presidential candidate for 2016 so claims the Zambia daily nation. Another indirect ploy by GBM to get Sata to chase kabimba from the party?
Dojo Do,Dr Mumba may right a bout his Llife.These PF characters are vicious.they want to scare everybody,so that they do whatever they want to do.
Arrests of people demanding fulfillment of void promises will not in anyway change the status quo. This government must realize that they have the time allowance to make a total turnaround of the current maladies our nation is plagued with. It just requires them to sober up and consult extensively in respect to governance issues.
SATA is a one man army. He takes no one ‘s advice. All what is happening in the country today Sata is the initiator. Even the endorsement saga was started by Sata to free himself from the cartel. Thats why GBM proudly says he does not regret doing that and he vows to continue.
@Wanzelu
One man army can cause a very sad ending!! No man should be an island
The same I told these PFs that Pastor don’t know how to insult. I wanted to insult on his behalf, but I don’t think Pastor Dr. Mumba will approve it.
Ba PF na headman wenu mwalitumpa fye.
VIVA Dr Mumba!!! we are proud you as an EX-Hillcrest Boy!!!!
@nostradamus
Go to the watchdog and listen to the bashilubemba recording in pure bemba against Sata!!.. that was great!! that is bemba with a diiference NOT stone throwing borrowed Bemba which was used when beating HH
@no man thanks. not Watchdog or Tumfweko, just this LT is worse enough.
It’s two years now. They have nothing to offer. Whoever, said Chimbwi no plan knew what he was talking about. I had so much faith in the PF, but they have nothing to show me as in an able govt. All they are doing is concentrating on things that won’t change our way of living,e.g. New national registration cards. What good will they bring to people’s stomachs. Like chipimo says,it’s about time they became more responsible than “cho chise ” all the time. How does one appoint 3 deputy ministers in one ministry? If KK managed to run govt without deputy ministers, what would stop sata from doing that and have an effective work force. All they are doing as ministers is womanising and pausing as in well to do fellas. Atase. Presda is even scared of a press conference coz he cannot answer…
Sata is a sociopath,he’s never done anything sensible,he’s just a demagogue who was used by his masters to intimidate the opposition,case in point chawama massacre.It’s a shame such a person is a president in the 21st century.
@gumu gumu, spot on!!. Sata is Man of Confusion, Out of Touch and too old to rule in Modern 21st Century. With his inner cycles they are no Different to Old Mugabe. Hence appointing Old papas, Mamas / Job Keepers. He cannot appoint Young Zambians who are modern to challenge him. Look at this St.upid Inspector General of Police, on what grounds would they accept to Question Mumba on words Like: liar, Confusion etc used on a radio talk show?. changing them to be called insults. You mean they cannot tell the President were to draw lines?? Zambian is in free-fall with such rubbish leadership who wants to change Zambia to a one party state. What a president??

Neverlands (nev. Mumba)! You told zambians the NCC ll never be a political party, the next day it was. You told zambians your belief in a cause outweighs political office, the next day u sold your soul for vice presidency office.
Stealing tithe from poor church members makes one gets haunted by their cries hence ukusabaila. Mkaika has brought out usual boisterous character of this fellow.
George Bush,
People change their positions depending on the circumstances, that is being a critical thinker – how many times have you changed your positions in life? If you have never then you are uncritical person. Even your Lordship – Satachanges almost every minute. Nevers is coming and if it is God’s will – he will become President of the Republic of Zambia! You are not God – all rulers are chosen by God – even dictators, by the way.
diminished thinkers are those that attack a personality and fail to face the issue at hand. The issue here, Mr. Bush, is not Nevers’ promises of long ago but of him being victimised for telling the truth. Please comment on this.
Why is Sata scared of the opposition if the opposition is weak? When in opposition Sata had all the time and opportunity to insult RB and MMD. Sata had all the freedom of assembly when in opposition.
Now why cant he give freedom of speech to those opposed to his lies? Why cant he give permission to the opposition to assemble and campaign? This man is really a snake and surely it was a big mistake to entrust the affair of Zambia in the hands of this man. God help us!
Ati usakambila kusogolo? Awe washauti uyu umulandu!
Mumba go get them dont get intimidatedby them there are liars.I have no money in my pocket up now,2 year has just past like that.Which 90 days ba muka yama you promised muli ba bufi sana.
@1 theorist, thats y the opposition is full of babies with no political clue. If i were neverlands, would cleaverly use such to my advantage to campaign on the ground not radios.
Why do you kids use vulgar language against the Head of State? Someone working so hard to better your pathetic miserable lives.
Wanzelu says his HEMCS started endorsement confusion, no! Wanzelu,its fred and post that started it.
i hav just learnt that cosmo is not bloody related to nevers.the boy is just using a borowed surname.the man was born as a result of fornication/adulterous..his father’s name must have been kamba.i was wondering why should members of the family difer like that?
can someone tell me what an insult is, i wonder if saying that this person is a lair,violent and a master of confusion is an insult
It cant be an insult if it is true which in this case it is.
If it results in a gross indignity it is an insult. An insult is NOT an obscenity although some obscenity can result in indignity and hence, insult. That is the most common.
If the Police will side or Go to bed with a Political Party in Power / Government? It is a total failure and shows how Dull and Useless their Inspector General is??. Taking orders to question Opposition Leaders on rubbish talk show? Where is the Democracy and Zambian values? If Police treated Sata in this manner during his tenure in opposition,he was never going to be Zambian President. What Sata is doing is against the Law and a true Man of confusion. Very sad to be ruled by such Leadership. Zambian people should Gang up and teach these useless Police a lesson. They have failed Zambians to be reduced to SATA’s Intimidating Machine. Shame on ZP and their IG.
A president can call opposition leaders as bana ba muvigololo. But for one to point out the president`s lies, it is defamation. What a rotting country. Oh mother Zambia, Steadly and surely driving into a police state.
And yet he himself has produced so many vigololo children. What a nation, led by individuals with no morals at all.
Yes Nevers Mumba is a pastor who abandoned his flock for greener pastures! We have heard these stories before of self praise that I’m a pastor and I do this or that. Criticizing is very important but do not use unpalatable language and show some maturity too. Pastors are just white collar con-men and Mumba should not even dare proclaim himself a pastor, after all he has no following anymore apart from the few Movement for Mad Dogs! We have not forgotten your lies!
Fear grips Mumba now claims he doesnt remebr whn he insulted!Remind him the last time apeared Joy Fm.Thts last time he insulted.U re a pastor of lies & personal interest.U prove it in court mwana.
Dada, we know you are already dull so no need to confirm. There is no way in the world I would expect you to know what is an insult and what is not an insult. you’re the type of dude who thinks that when someone is speaking loudly and angrily irrespective of what they are saying, they are insulting.
Pastor Mumba you had lied that you would not aspire to become the President as that could be demotion what has changed now?We don’t need to be reminded of PF promises we can see from our eyes there is a lot of infrastructure development in the country and PF Govt.is on the right track.Tell us what your party can do period
sata is a dictater. you cannot change him now.chanda chimba advised so we just have to unite come 2016.
In yr own modicum of civility & human conscience can u quot Chamba Cmbwi III ‘s insatiable inuendos in a way justifyng Nrver Muba’s useless atacks?I doubt yr integrity DMX.Uli ci.puba!Eht sought of thnkng is ths?
There is no case against Dr. Mumba. Sata is a lier and the father of it. He said he will restore the barotse agreement, he said he will restore the windfall tax, he said he will turn great east road into double lane, he said income tax will be lower by broadening the tax base, he promised a constitution within 90 days, he promised a reduced cabinet just yo mention a few. He has not done any of these things and what do you call such a person? A liar seating on a thrown built by lies. Of course one can say the cabinet has now one minister less compared to RB’s cabinet, what does mean when you look at the broaden deputy ministers. The PF are now busy claiming RB’s projects like Mongu Kalabo road, schools etc. You are a liar sir.

The PF will fall lamentably in 2016 or before that in the event of a presidential bye-election. Mark my words.
Nevers Mumba is uncivilised and a failure in politics.He thinks insulting the president will make him popular.This kind of thinking will not put bread and butter on the Zambian dinning tables.This also shows that the opposition leader has no developmental plans or policies.Nevers is a selfish man and a dictator.Zambians should be verey careful not to give people like Nevers power otherwise we all doomed!!Insteady of offering alternatives he is concentrating on character assassination of the president.Zambians should be wary of this man.He is power hungry and a destroyer.He is leading MMD into political oblivion.
Another nolle coming. What a shame! What a waste of public money and time. The earlier the President’s handlers,supporters and relatives realize that the man has a problem, the better for all of them.
The President shouldn’t be let scot free to insult his own citizens and when a response is offered by these very citizens, they are arrested by the Police.
PF –
Pave Zambia…..no dust and soon we shall be cycling on the paves!!!
Stadiums…….Soon we shall host Africa cup.
Chiawa Chirundu road…….. IMPROVED traffic flow from the south.
Zambia Railways is beginning to perform…
SI55…..improved tax collection and improved revenue for the country.
New Universities coming.
Improved wages for civil servants.
Strategic fuel storage depots in Mpika and Solwezi .
Do not be emotional when commenting on politicians and the way they behave. They always keep changing and you will die with anger and bitterness. These politicians are the same. As Zambians we need bread on the table. HH hated MMD with perfect hatred. But today they are in bed together. Sata disliked Masebo. Today they are paddling the same boat. And you want to be emotional about supporting this or that politician. Don’t waste your time. These people are in this for themselves. We should be able to use them to work for us. MMD messed up, we kicked them out. If PF does not put its house in order, we will kick them out also. And if UPND works hard at addressing their tribal tag, we may vote for them. Anyone that can put bread on my table is worth my vote. No need to be emotional and…
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH??!!!!!! THE MORE I HEAR STORIES LIKE THIS THE LESS I LIKE SATA & the more I despise him. I have no respect for a president who is trying to shut people up, that shows he doesn’t have the people’s interest at heart.
@dudelove,
neverlands attacked the personality of the president,thats is the issue here. Talking about the president been man of confusion; who reduced richard kachingwe to a mare civilian as a result of violence never seen on earth. Who drove in triumphantly after kachingwe was brutalised by masala,kmb, kulima tower boys.
Is this the man to call pastor. He has no empthy even in stealing tithe, he had none. Neverlands is full of himself by now his own colleagues would ve booted him out of mmd. He shud moderate his language
Truth is no an insult please.why don’t you like to be advised imwe Ba mumbwe fi pf?
Anikonda will take over when cobra is away. And to get it back from anikonda is difficult.
Drive your points with responsibility mr Mumba ,emulate ur young man chipimo,he is very objective , and police are his friends.no trouble.
Lets learn from kenya and be wise. Thousands have gone to donate blood, the opposition called the president and promised to offer support. MPs have given their one day allowance to victims. WHAT IS WRONG WITH US? I WISH 24TH OCTOBER CAN BE A DAY OF LOVE WHERE TONGAS CAN PLAY FOOTBALL WITH BEMBAS NO INSULTS ON ONLINE
Iwe the Kenya situation is brought about by outside terrorists El Shabab and Bin Laden’s Group.
The Zambian situation has been brought about by the people in authority, the very people ruling us.
That is the difference. Sata insults traditional leaders, Opposition leaders and opponents with impunity and u want us to side with him in national Interest????
My foot.
Awe nashinininsha ukutiinsele tashaishibikwa. I think insults are relative to whatever mood o is in. What Nevers said that has been deemed as insults cant be compared to what Fr Bwalya decribed Sata n his PF. Bwalya ewatukene not Mumba.
