Katanga province Governor in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Moses Katumbi has hailed the bilateral cooperation existing between Zambia and his country.
This is contained in a press statement delivered to ZANIS offices in Ndola by Ndola City Council Public Relations Manager, Roy Kuseka.
Mr. Katumbi expressed happiness at Zambia’s democratic dispensation from which he said he learned immensely during his stay in Zambia.
He said this when a delegation from Ndola City, led by the deputy mayor, Charles Chiwaya, paid a courtesy call on him at the City Hall in Lubumbashi recently.
Mr. Katumbi pointed out that there was a lot of knowledge in various fields of social and economic development which Lubumbashi and Ndola could share.
“To this end, I request the two cities to closely work hand in hand to cement the existing ties,” Mr. Katumbi said.
He said this in reference to the Lubumbashi/Ndola sister relationship which were formerly established in 1964.
And Councillor Chiwaya thanked the governor and Lubumbashi mayor, Floribert Makunilo for the warm reception that was accorded to his delegation.
Mr. Chiwaya said the objective of the visit was to strengthen the sister city cooperation of Ndola and Lubumbashi and to share experiences especially on the management of markets.
This was in view of the impending formation of market boards in Zambia.
“There is need for Lubumbashi and Ndola cities to share experiences and exploit the vast potential within the framework of the peer review mechanism,” he stressed.

Kawalala Katumbi. Please leave Chiluba alone!! He is also free!!
If this guy is free then also Chiluba,Saviour Chungu and many others are free. I am told this guy has been pardoned by Max Nkole. He is it true, Zambians?? I thought it is the people of Zambia that are summose to pardon this burger?? Therefore, on whose behalf did Max pardon this guy??
You two baggars are wrong to be in USA and RUSSIA,is that all you can say about a thief like tribesman Chiluba,malabishi,ba kawalala bo nyansa.
a thief is a thief who so it may be the big one here is the short basterd he did a lot of damage to our country the fool was just to steal from us ZAMBIANS it is like those indians who some one has named who r still stealing and the goverment is not doing anything till these three who are Y.ZUMULA and Musa from MUSA bakery and DR BHURA who is giveing wrong drugs to every one and dealing with these fool thives . they r also known to ACC boss So there is nothing we can do just have to wait till they do something big
Katumbi, Chiluba, Chungu, Shansonga, Mwanawasa, Bulaya, what is the difference? They are all thieves.
I wonder why a nation like zambia can sink so low as to fail to prosecute a congolese Gorvernor…This bastard is being treated like a president why…..I think he has bribed some guys in the task force and Gorverment.Let katumbi not hold the people of zambia at ransom.Levy should be dealing with Kabila and not this i.diot Katumbi.The acquital of Katumbi will haunt Max Nkole and Levy in the near future.
no.5 I disagree with you remove Mwanawasa from your list.Levy is a hardworker and means well for Zed.
They are all thievesas # 5 has correctly observed
Y shud Levy be removed from # 5’s list wen its clear that he is a crook.Jst look @ the KCM deal.The Moses Katumbi deal which costed VJ his job 4 saying wat Levy is doing now.The Chiawa irrigation fiasco.The Teka farm deal with Shoprite Ndola over the supply of Bananas.The list is endlss
It is time you gave respect to FTJ. Did he steal from you?
I’M GOING TO MOVE OUT OF TOPIC FOR A SECOND.
Zambia’s First ever, Movie, “The Lawyer” which premiered at Lusaka’s Ster-kinor has closed at its highest earnings
The movie, a production of MUVI Television, has been described, as a block-buster in the history of the cinema. The movie is now headed down South where it is expected to be shown following its impressive performance. Cinema Manager, William Kazoka said the lawyer, as a movie has set the pace for the Zambian film industry. Some patrons at the Cinema expressed happiness at the development calling on MUVI Television Management to do more local productions.

This fool must never be allowed into Zambia. If the zambians Gvt can continue to sublet our country to such foreighners then we can show the gvt that we also know how to be Zambians.We care for our nation and we can do better without people like Katumbi.If any one sees him in Z please let us know.If GVT cant act then we will be forced to act.The millions katumbi and chiluba misappropriated could have saved many lives in Zambia.Lets not be stupid, we need to wake up and act now.We are a laughing stock of so many countries.Zimbabweans,congolese,senegalese,tanzanians,chinese,indians are busy duping Zambians including government.
“He said this when a delegation from Ndola City, led by the deputy mayor, Charles Chiwaya, paid a courtesy call on him at the City Hall in Lubumbashi recently”. Am just wondering as to who sent these concillors and the deputy mayor to Lubambashi to see this thief. Is this deputy mayor am MMD or PF? The problem with zambian leaders is that they think other countries can develop Zambia. Why go to someone to cut deals when the fellow was reported to have raped our country?
You all do not know what you are writing about. Katumbi controls Katanga province which is very crucial to zambia’s smelter plants. Katanga’s copper and other minerals are processed at some of zambia’s own smelters and this brings in millions of dollars for such firms. After the ban by Katumbi on processing such minerals in zambia was most smelter plants lost business to apoint of near collapse. So such people whi control the mineral rich province should be treated carefully. Its all economics at play.
Bane don’t talk nonsense about LPM this Baboon is had working his only problem is tribalism.
# 15, tribalism!! Chiluba and kaunda sang against it but practiced tribalism behind doors and underground. But i do not condone tribalism at all.
w
……………iye bane
#14 yes Katumbi can be a governor of Katanga but that does not protect him from prosecution.If anything the guy is answerable to Kabila and am sure Kabila wouldnt want to keep a convicted thief as a Governor.Remember he is just a Governor and not the president of Congo.so its incumbent upon Levy to be dealing with president Kabila and not this fool called Katumbi.
Fellow blogger you appear to be behind on the Katumbi issue. Mr Katumbi’s case was discontinued months ago and the anti- corruption explained that he had surrendered all that he accumulated thru corruption back to GRZ. This amounted to millions worth of property, cars, tracks, boats shares in companies and bank accounts. He was even declared free to come back to zed and conduct any legitimate business he wanted. That is your grz. If FTJ and others did the same and surrendered what they had stollen, I think they would have been pardoned and would have saved the country loads in legal fees to the Nchito billioniers. In Lubumbashi he is treated as a president according to our consulate there.
#14 chips, RSA if u live in a glass house dont throw stones, u are misleading this forum by suggesting that this governor shud be treated carefully, instead i venture to believe that he shud be the one treating us carefully, after all it is our smelters that are making his business profitable and i can back this up by saying he needs us more than we do him because he was ready to part with a substantial amount of his personal wealth
/cont… chani fisheries and the like, i also disagree that many businesses started to suffer when he imposed a ban because there has been a rise in the number of investors planning to put up smelters, thus far he doesn’t control the mineral rich rich province and instead i would rather think that it is more political than economoical.
Fellow bloggers, you can not just go into another country and arrest their Governor. Unless Congo agrees to extradite him, Zambia can never touch him. If indeed he has returned the wealth he acquired corruptly, and the Task Foce/ACC have provisions for pardon, then he is a free man.
Katanga province is indeed powerful, and Katumbi is powerful there…
Foreget about Katumbi Leave hime in Katanga.We dont need him in Z millions or no millions.If anyone sees him please kill him if the gvt cant do so.We can do without thieves.

Bati ukwiba kusuma I think. Look at the man and property in that picture. I look at my degrees and wonder if I will ever own a mansion, a limo, an SUV and expensive suits. Yeah, It’s certainly good to be a thug in Zed. No laws here stops thugs. Only the law abiding suckers like me get procecuted.
please help my head guys back home.is it the same Katumbi who was running tambabashila chani shops in Kitwe selling fish and maize meal with our same politicians? is it not the same man who got his NRC when he was around 24.
#27 Yep, it’s the same dude.
Mwana Wanmbwa …oh sorry …Mwanawasa is one of them. Wait until he leaves office. You can bait on my side; nimbwalala yakantu.
Don’t be fooled by what you are seeing right now. Remember: the best place to hide anything is in plain site. Anyandule!
#28 oh jesus,then charles chiwaya is one of the guys stealing from Zambians.next time you will hear that he is gone back to his country.what a shame! where are our shushushus pliz.arrest that guy.i feel like joining.teti tuletambafye kwati te calo chesu.balya babutuka!guys in that dept be professionals,dont follow cheap politicians.they come and go but the system should go on.
Katumbi is simply untouchable. His mother is a sister to mwata kazembe and he is the most powerful man in katanga. Remember, his brother was one of the vice presidents. So, do not be naive and think Kabila will hand over Katumbi for prosecution.
#31.i support you,katumbi was even connected to top politicians who told him to steal and disappear. (#30).just like chiwaya,they are seeing him faking that he went on grz duties when its logically open that he went to feast with his relative planning how they will get the remainder katumbi left.a person who lied with chiluba that he was a pure Zambian with NRC given directry by ministers.If the law and officers were working as they should,they could have arrested people connected to him like chiwaya.you can fool some people sometimes but you can not fool all the people all the time.
moses KATUMBI is the name,katele kalumba was cought, this one has been found not to have a case to answer.
he was selling diamonds.
just for the record Katumbi is just as powerful as kabila.
Seek the Truth From Zambia not Him.
Besides the other is alive and well in Mozambique thanks to the internet we could post pictures if we so wished!
i just want to know the contact details of my name sake because i have been interrogated that he is my relative when we only have the same name.i have tried my best to find out where his contact details are but cant,if any one has or if mr katumbi you have got this mail please don’t hesitate to call me on +260 977 672716 or write me on [email protected],i will really appreciate if we can communicate.am not interested in political affairs.we got to mature and think about whats gonna develop our nations in Africa other than insulting each other and wasting resources on task forces that does not even yield expected results. lets all look back to God for the lasting solutions.
