MMD acting spokesperson Mike Mulongoti says Change Life Zambia founder Frank Bwalya should clear concerns that his organisation could be a political party.
Speaking in an interview yesterday, Mr Mulongoti said father Bwalya should state the objectives of his organisation.
“He should come out in the open so that people understand his organisation,” he said.
Mr Mulongoti was reacting to calls by Copperbelt MMD youths that Father Bwalya’s organisation must be scrutinsed to ensure that it is not a political party under the guise of a non-governmental organisation.
Mr Mulongoti said Father Bwalya owes the youths an explanation regarding their fears that he is using Change Life Zambia to realise his political ambitions.
“It is incumbent upon Father Bwalya to clear the concerns of the youths so that there are no questions about his organisation being a political party,” he said.[quote]
MMD youths have challenged Father Bwalya to declare that he has allegedly joined politics through the formation of his organisation.
Father Bwalya launched Change Life Zambia in Ndola on Saturday, saying formation of the organisation has been necessitated by continued poverty levels and other challenges the country is facing.
[Zambia Daily Mail]
Father Bwalya is out in the open already, he does not need to be out in the same manner wearing the King’s new clothes Kanitundila style! The one who actually has to come out in the open in Shikapwasha “two chickens” himself in his capacity as acting spokesman until Tetamalilo comes back, to tell us what role Kanitundila played in having Chabala Kafupi acquited. Like Mulipi observed, the MMD are a F O O L I S H circus, how can you take a thief to court and celebrate when he is acquited? Ubunangwa bwa MMD, awe sure, bwachunya!
I too am wondering what the objective of this so called NGO is. What does it sort out to do or achieve and what has it done to fulfill its objective.
This is clearly (in my opinion) a political party in disguise. Fr Bwalya must state explicitly what his organization is about. He owes the Zambian people that much.
NGOs in Zambia are like wild mushrooms. Pick at your own risk.
Mr. Mulongoti whats your problem? You are even scared by small fry like Fr Bwalya. You are employed to mend our roads but all you do is attack people who dont belong to your rotten party. You will not be a minister forever remember. You heard all the bad comments made against your late ally Teta. Do you want the same?
pa zed palomfwika bwino mwe!too much talk talk no action…no wonder these your leaders are throwing anything in your faces.they know “zambians are peaceful”…
Mulongoti thinks people are Happy with his Government,No!.They have no mandate and come 2011,we need to kick them out Officially.They are a bunch of liers,Thieves amd Criminals.
iwe LT nishani naiwe ?leka tulande…tu sose…tu voke… …..yashani iyakulatuchinga?
LT guys be real…Y have u deleted my comments?its my opinnion MY OPINNION …..
Mulongoti, spare us from your ignorance. Go to the registrar of Societies and see the objectives of this NGO. You will fins a copy of their consititution. Stop being afraid of every body. Come out of yourself and join the people then your fears will be no more.
I think the Catholic Church should take the 1991 route,where they used to preach sermons to all its flock to sensitise them of the Evil this Government has.We have a situation where the MMD is taking full advantage of poverty in the nation to stay in power.This is against the Teaching of Christ,who would want the National Cake to be shared equally among the Citizens.I think FTJ promised RB a cut out of the $8million which is in the Zamtrop account once it is released.Everyone knows now that,RB is a Man full of preasure,one who likes luxuary life too much,like travelling and partying alot.He has never sat on his desk at State House to think the way forward for this Country but always travels.We have to support the right thinking Zambians who feel for the poor,just like the Oasis Forum did.
Father Frank how are you?if u want to form a political party my friend ,the time is now.stop playing hide and seek games and make your position known OK.by the way,I might vote for you…..just market yourself to me.
Wow! By the time FBB realises that he has made a mistake, he will be canvassing for a job at state house the way NEvers Mumba has been doing. If you a powerful and you are insulted by somebody in the mud, donot go there to fight becoz you will come out dirty even after killing this chap. Advise to FBB, donot tell us that you are speaking for the VOICELESS. Where do you hold meetings with them and what you talk about is approved by them. ID10T
#2,its simple,you want to know the objectives go the the registrar of societies and obtain a copy.or better still go to these guys’ offices and ask for a copy,simple as! maybe they even have a website,google it ffs
Mulongoti what more do you want.This is an NGO pretence and slowly but surely turning political.Ask Nevers Mumba your counterpart on how he started his defunct party.
LT naya ine,its seems u have beef with me.bye nshakesepo nakabili pali ka “site” kobe !
#11 For your info the Fr is on leave and the Bishop has told him not to join politics, but he is free to use his NGO to sensitise people about governance. He is been told to be impartial during his campains. Like No2 has been told you also check at the registrar’s or the Fr. himself about his objectives
And people have been wondering why you guys are shielding chiluba from corruption. We are wondering why you don’t want to hold a convention. In fact, we can come up with a very long list about what we have been wondering about concerning the MMD. Do not hold others to virtues you yourselves fail to uphod. Hypocrites!
If Mulongoti haz a bone to chew with Frank Bwalya’z NGO, am sure the competent Registrar of Societies would be more than willing to show him the contents of its constitution. In az much az I see Frank Bwalya’z NGO with a lot of grey areaz, there’z no need for any anxietiez about it.
You will see. MMD is fielding Ephraim Mateyo in Solwezi Central. Who can beat him especially after the good name he made for himself when he was a PIG (Police Inspector General)? Look out. PF/UPND will get the Kasama Central seat but not Solwezi

Whats your problem Mulongoti? If you had no time to go and find out from Registrar of Societies why didn’t you go to the Launch of Fr. Bwalya’s NGO and ask him these questions than seeking public attention? Leave Father Bwalya alone this is a democratic country and if he wants he can form a political party, what has it got to do with you or what are you scared of?
Fr Bwalya, just change the name of your NGO to Co-operating Partner’ and you will be fine. You can then say anything you want. Everyone will then think that you know what is best for the Zambians.
Well well done father, thats your challeges
If Mateo agrees to being fielded as a Candidate for Solwezi Central,then I’ll say the Man whom we held in high esteem has lost morals.He is known for fighting criminals and gangs but if he joins them,then KAYA!.
We have over 3000 ngos in zambia why should Bwalya’s raise concern, Mulongoti just give us the ring roads in Lusaka
Ladies and gentlemen let us support Fr bwalya because he’slikely to change the mind set of our rural dwellers.He will be travelling across the country including rural areas so that come 2011 we change these tu Mulongoti na Rb,they have nothing to offer.We also want to make sure that ka chiluba does not rig elections after all that friendship with RB is not common is about rewarding each other.So lets open our eyes and make sure they dont take us for a ride.
I did nt know that Mulongoti is a nominated MP. Let elected pipo talk, NOT u Mulongoti. Atlst chi shikapwasha chalikwata constituency, mwati niba Mulongoti. SHUT THE F**K UP!
Goodmorning
One never really knows in which direction Zambian is heading, everything just seems to be at ground zero.
My Own Stile, I see thaty you are a cheap tribalist which has no place in this modern Zambia. I thjink you you belong to past generations. We are moving ahead to coexist as Zambians and you are talking about about tribes shame on you

A visiting Nigerian prophet has maintained that president Rupiah Banda is not the man God ordained to rule Zambia.Dr. Emmanuel Kure says former Vice president and current ambassador to Canada Nevers Mumba was the man God had ordained to take over when Levy Mwanawasa died but that Mumba was too busy with things of this world.In 2007, Kure, who is currently n the country for a series of prophetic prayer meetings prophesied the death of Mwanawasa in Kitwe.
On 18 September 2008, Kure came back to Zambia and this time addressed a business prayer summit in Ndola where he said Nevers Mumba lost the opportunity to become president of Zambia because he and the church were looking for other things and not God.Kure said president Rupuiah Banda is just a bridge for the transition Zambia is going…
Kure said president Rupuiah Banda is just a bridge for the transition Zambia is going through.“So what is Rupiah Banda? He is the bridge and the bridge is supposed to be strong enough to carry the weight. …a short one that is supposed to carry Zambia across the river. He is not the one that will bring Zambia to the promised land. He is not the savior that Zambia has been waiting for, but he will be the bridge upon upon whose back Zambia will cross,’ prophesied Kure.He said then that Satan knew that Mwanawasa would not finish his term so he (Satan) took opportunity of the blindness of the church, becaause the church was looking for other things not for God.“You want to be popular because you want to be rich. You are looking for human recognitions , you are not trying to fulfil…
Ka Mulongot leave father Bwalya alone ! We kanangwawe!!!!!
you are not trying to fulfil your divine destiny. Because of this you cannot hear the the secret things that God is whispering to concerning your land,” said Kure.He told the church:Nevers Mumba didn’t listen to God“The person who was not ordained to be president will now enjoy that benefit, because the church was insensitive and proud. The church was living in confusion.“The transition you are going through is a transition within a transition. Rupiah Banda was not the original man God had because the man [Nevers Mumba] that was prepared for it failed at that time, so God raised a man that was not ordained for it and put him there as a bridge.”Kure however said Nevers Mumba lost the opportunity for good. He prophesied that younger men will take over Zambia.He said that the death…
He prophesied that younger men will take over Zambia.He said that the death of Mwanawasa marked the end of sa phase and the beginning of a new phase in Zambia.“I have seen in the spirit very young men with flint feet who are light on the ground, men who will split the gates. New young chief executives are about to be born. Young men and women with great intelligence are about to sstart controllling the econmoy. Men and men who will give birth to a new Zambia. So there is a shake up that is coming, that is going to force the older ones to step aside,” He said.Asked by the Watchdog today where this prophecy stands, Kure says nothing has changed and that Zambia won’t fall into wrong hands. He said God has not yet spoken to him about the 2011 elections in Zambia but maintained that God…
but maintained that God will be involved. He said that God spoke that time about president Banda being a bridge and that he, as a messenger of God was only delivering the message. He said he had no choice in the matter and that he would rather be sent to a human jail than fail to speak the commisssion of God.RB, prophesy or no prophesy, soldiers will satnd at attentionHe said God has chosen Zambia to be a leader in the region.Kure also advised Zambia to avoid inviting demons and other evil spirits officially in the country.He said the move to remove the declaration of Zambia as a Christian nation from the constituion will be giving a licence to demons to operate freely in the country. He advised that Zambia should not remove God from their system by pretending to be mordern.

Ba Mulongoti kwena! Yangu. I thought that stating an organisations objectives was a requirement by thr registrar of fimo fimo? You are very Dullo! Chi.kopo chaiyo. typical noisy can. Empty for that matter. Yaba, Ati ba graduate!!!
the return of mulongoti on center stage……..i think he missed it when teta was in charge.
Iwe democracy, stop copy and paste here! do you want to be another prof??? Bloggers,Visit the watchdog site and read for yourself!!
He might as well relaunch himself as “Mulogoteta Mike”!!

What is Mulongoti afraid of? His government is an embarrassment to the people of Zambia. If someone tries to come up with something that threatens their corrupt regime, they are up in arms yapping without even thinking!
Every Zambian has a right to express himself/herself. We Zambians should be proud of our country and indeed if we are proud, we should send the MMD to where they belong. People like Fr. Bwalya should be supported. Its not a question of him being a Catholic priest. This man has seen the inactivity of us Zambians and wants to wake us up. This man has a realistic and unselfish mission. This man is a patriotic Zambian and we must help him in every possible way.
Mulongoti should keep quiet because he is just concerned about keeping his job and not about the welfare of…
Democracy that is plagiarism of the highest order,why not just put up a link and anyone who wants to follow the story can do so,try to use some common sene twapapata
The problem with Mike Mulongoteta is that he speaks first and then thinks later (assuming he even does that). It would be wise for him to Live and not just to exist. Molongoteta needs to reflect seriously on what his utterances are doing to Zambians. In short, Shu.t up!!!
Is this guy Father Bwalya still a priest… I thought the church is also a form of an NGO technically. Why then duplicate the effort?!?
Some politicians can’t think out of the box. Cheap politics! Tell your MMD youths to go the Registra of Societies to access the objectives of the NGO, hope they will understand and comprehend the material. Leave Fr. Bwalya alone!
#51, Fr. Bwalya is still a priest although not a practicing one at the moment. Yes, the church is an NGO practically but that doesn’t mean no one within its circles should not be free to form an NGO. About duplicating, no he’s not. As long as he’s doing something different from what the church does, I don’t think he should be accused of duplicating. Lets not pull him down!
Ba Mulongoti NABANZAO NIBA MANTA. Start Packing MUYENDA. MWASALA CHABE NA One year.
Blind loyalty….Frank is a dead soul. Chaps like him are the reason why the catholic church is facing civil cases all around the world….NGO my foot! He gets instructions from mmembe everyday.The only change we have welcomed is Frank changing from the priestly robe to that PF shirt.
LT we want to comment on the CBU issue u hv also started becoming scared of govt….
LT twapapata please tupeni am weekend pictures
Mulongoti has now remained alone so has to say “just something” to be seen to be working.
Anyway, my advice to Mulongoti is to do a search at the registrar of associations, which should have all the necessary information and requirements to register a NGO.
Please Mulongoti, do not waste our time when there are other more serious issues you can comment on. Cut down on your diarrhoea of the mouth.
Collectively NGOs have misappropriated than any single government in Africa. Show me one thin NGO leader?The ones I see have round faces and protruding tummies and yes they need regulation.
Frustrated i dio ts …. Fr Bwalaya will now taste the bitter political pill…..kulimba mutima or you will reap the whirlwind.
we will use the new law on this chap …..
Zambia ONE, do you have facts that Fr. Bwalya receives instructions from M’membe? And which civil cases is the Catholic church suffering around the world (Zambia included)? And if what you are saying about the civil cases is true, what has that got to do with someone expressing himself freely? Do you have any facts with you that Bwalya is enhancing a political agenda for PF? Going by the flag I am seeing on your comment, it seems you are in Europe (England?). How did you find yourself there if you can’t even think logically? Anyway, I am not surprised. Probably, the white man’s snow has gotten around your poor brain and you cannot think properly. My friend, start thinking like a Zambian if you have one. Or are you a beneficiary of Mulongoti’s corrupt government? Start thinking pal!
Zambia One #55 Don’t be a hater. At least he is trying to do something, what are you doing? If he says its a NGO thens thats what it is. If he wants people in the rural areas to know what they are entitled to then don’t stop him. I support him all the way.
Mulongoti, Please follow Tetamashimba
Mulongoti, please leave us in peace and you follow Tetamashimba
#54, you meant 52 …and not 51… I hear you comrade. I see Father reading from the Roman Catholic expansion strategy… seriously we don’t need to talk about poverty… it is talking about poverty that compiles people to think hand-out… we should be talikng about sustainable development that we lead to poverty eradication. Our biggest problem is lack of infrastrature development. Poverty is the sympton of poor economy which we need to fix….
#67, you are right. My apologies to #51. Same thing though. My comment are directed at #52
# 2 Capitalist, Regardless of the unknown reasons and objective of Fr. Bwalya’s organization, he has the right to form a political party or an NGO. The objectives of the organization is what he puts on the application form. He owes no one any other explanation about the motive or what he wants to do with his organization. It is really unfortunate that you want to know and scrutinize his objectives while you have failed to scrutinize other NGO’s or Churches that are in bed with the government. # 56, were are you getting these notions that Fr. Bwalya gets instrutions from Mmembe? If some of you are not independent thinkers, it does not mean everyone is not. Bwalya a former Kitwe Boys Sec School student has always be a person who questions things when he sees they are not right.
Fr Bwalya is no longer a bambo and as such it does not matter if his is a political party. Mwapya.
It is clear that Mulongoti doesn’t even know what the registrar of societies does. He just talks and drinks all night that is all. Someone once joked sometime that it would be fine to hold a meeting tomorrow if the Minister wakes up sober but I doubt it. That is Mulongoti for you.
Does it mean when you are a spokes person then you simply speak anyhow? Late Teta responded to tissues and issues, Mulongoti is too, like in this case of Father Bwalya’s NGO. Shikapwasha does it big time……. he embarrasses himself.
Mwala ka mulongoti. please follow tetamalilo, we fukcing sick of u a.s.s.h.o.l.e MMD
teyeleni bola panshi
Father Bwalya is just too smart guys. He has overtime knows how to take on these politicians and he is succeding. I listened to him in Ndola and believe me CHIMBWI PAKULILA NISHI PALI UKO ASHINTILILE period. Catholics knows it all. R U B I S HHHHHHHHH chaps 10 -0 ba MMD
Fr. Bwalaya has spoken out against MMD snakes and the hardship they are constantly leading us into. Let him do more, besides he is only helping the voiceless in our society. Leave him alone agalu opanda pache!
It is easy for Shikapwasha to check with PACRO the NGO’s objectives. Why do individuals like Shikapwasha like opening their mouths but nothing to write about comes out??
Lekeni Umufundisi abombele Lesa.
National Christian Coalition PART 2.
From NGO to political party?
The unholy father is promising utopia. It is funny that people can blame government for poverty, HIV/AIDS, unemployment and redundancies. He blames government for suicides among young people. He blames government for paedophilia and child defilement. I am sure he would also blame government for MSMs, had homoseksuality not been illegal in Zambia. Where, Oh! where is personal responsibility?
I am reminded of one religious leader called Regina (Leshina) Bwalya who many years ago claimed to have risen from the dead and misled people to jump (Lumpa) over to the other side, a land flowing with milk and honey. They drank urine and besmeared themselves with excreta so that bullets would bounce off them. She too was a Roman catholic. Then the other Roman catholic clergy in Uganda formed ‘The Lord’s Army.’ Others through their fiery sermons incited genocide in Rwanda. In South America, social evangelism promoted by RCC clergy maintained brutal socialist regimes. These ARE FACTS. Those who ignore history, do so at their own peril!
I still cannot understand why Fr. Bwalya had to take leave if really what he is starting is an NGO. Catholic priest have always done charity work while continuing serving as priests. “Fr. Bwalya don’ t you think you had a stronger voice when you spoke from the church? It is not wrong to condemn what is wrong from the pulpit beacuse this also bring out the source of the authority with which you speak. Jesus never used diplomacy when he found Jews trading in church, so when politians do what is wrong, speak out as a priest, because when you are called Father you should never allow your children (Christians) to be oppressed.
Let me help some people with answers: 1. Honourable souls rarely mis-use the previledges (or the lack of) of thier position to pursue an agenda (Social, political or otherwise). If Fr Bwalya had continued to use the pulpit as a launch pad, there would have been an outcry. He is demonstrating the morality that lacks amongst our rank and file. 2. People that pepetrate evil are found within and outside the Church. To single out one particular grouping based on history or other experiences with very little regard to facts and variables is both naive and dangerous. History and real life experiences would harshly judge Obama, Jacob Zuma, Military Men turned Presidents etc etc. But those who care to see have seen that these people have proved history wrong. No prejudice please.
Fr bwalya is free to form any organization NGO or political party and he is free to align himself with whoever he chooses PF or Membe’s post. Thats what our democracy is all about; freedom of association. We need to defend it. In the same vain we should respect RBs and MMDs decision to associate with FTJ it may not be liked by some but its their democratic right.
Someone essentially lend a hand to make severely posts I would state. That is the first time I frequented your web page and thus far? I amazed with the analysis you made to make this particular publish incredible. Fantastic activity!
