Former Patriotic Front General Secretary, Edward Mumbi has challenged Patriotic Front leader Michael to tell the nation what he has done with the money donated to the party by well-wishers. Mr. Mumbi has also challenged Mr. Sata to explain why he wanted to frame former President Dr. Fredrick Chiluba as having received K2 billion from DRC governor for Katanga province Moses Katumbi.
Mr. Mumbi said as chief executive of the Patriotic Front at the time, he was aware of the huge sums of money the party received from well-wishers including some international donors. He said he was the one who used to take the money to Mr. Sata whenever the party received funds from the donor community.
Speaking at a rally addressed by President Rupiah Banda at Chilongoshi basic school in chief Munkonge’s area in Kasama yesterday, Mr. Mumbi disclosed that despite having been funded to pay election agents in 2006 and 2008 respectively, the party had not released the funds to its agents.
He said the donor community made huge contributions but that Mr. Sata had decided to keep the money to himself. Mr. Mumbi said he has documents about the money that the party received but was not used for the intended purpose.
He challenged Mr. Sata to come out in the open and explain how the huge sums of money made available to the party were used. He said in many cases he had to quarrel with the PF leader over issues to do with money especially when dishonesty was involved. Mr. Mumbi said because of the PF leaders’ dishonesty, the party was just using registers to seek financial assistance as opposed to party identity cards.[quote]
“The money made available to the party by the donor community has not gone to any of the nine provinces in the country. I want him to explain to the nation where that money is,” said Mr. Mumbi.
“Having been chief executive of the party, I knew everything about the party and I received the money on behalf of the party and delivered it to Mr. Sata. If what I am saying about his dishonest conduct is not true, let him come out and deny it,” added Mr. Mumbi.
He disclosed that when Mr. Sata lost the elections, he sent Mr. Mumbi to ZNBC studios to announce to the nation alleging that for President Dr. Chiluba had received K2billion from Mr. Moses Katumbi to help campaign for the MMD. Mr. Mumbi said he refused to proceed with the mission because there were no facts and that the story was just a hoax.
The former PF secretary General vowed to go round the nine provinces of the country to expose the alleged dubious activities of the opposition leader.
He alleged that regardless of the many suitable candidates to contest the Kasama central bye-election, Mr. Sata opted for Mr. Geoffrey Mwamba because he receives money from him.
Mr. Mumbi also challenged Mr. Sata to be truthful and explain the reasons for his party’s withdrawal of the 2008 presidential petition.
He said responsible leaders must always tell the truth to the people they lead.
ZANIS
The Players in our politics can make you even stop blogging aboout Zambian politics. The alternative to MMD is so worse. Isn’t there a crop of new Zambia leaders that can give us a true alternative?
Seriously if I have a choice between RB and Sata in 2011, I will go for RB. Remember Sata is a dubious crook, more UNIPIST and VIGILANTE than RB. Can image what he would do if he had powers of the state. The allegations by Mumbi are probably true, though I must add that Mumbi too is a crook seeking a job from RB. If he knew Sata was wrong back then why didn’t he blow the whistle. Few will believe him now, but otherwise Sata must have done what he says.
Can’t Prof Chirwa, Magande form a decent Party or alternative or even new people. Not that joke Siulapwa please.
Was Sata the treasurer of the party at the time the mulla was coming in? as a CEO of the party, why not take to task the party treasurer coz this is the person who must receive, record all funds donated. tell us your story when you went to durban to have ballots printed. mind you we are watching
Papa J. There is an english saying which goes-well never mind, one has to be a leader or something! You are an i d i o t. Why was Mumbi in PF in the first place? Why did he join MMD? Do you know, it`s only in Africa where people resign/get kicked out of a party to go and join another. Reason your relatives in the village go without food you f o o l!
Ba Mumbi just how much have you been paid to be making these utterances. I need to tress out what favours you have been awarded with The best you could do is put the SHUT to the UP!!!!!!!
Mumbi you come to your mind, That we are tired with the called MMD and all the animal in that useless party
The answer to Zambia`s problems is not Prof Chirwa or Magande. The latter was a minister anyway. Kafupi at one time had a very powerful government. The problem is the people of Zambia who have let politicians decide everything for him. The problem is the people of Zambia who do not want to cut the powers of a simple African president. The problem is you and I who are exposed yet do nothing other than blog. Never mind the donor community who continue giving millions to the monsters despite the flaws in everything they do-can`t blame them can you? It`s not their countryafter all!
Mumbi is the reason why Zambians let alone Africans are mugs. Next he will be deputy minister of something. A year or two later he will be kicked out. Then he will be wrting state house to plead for a diplomatic position which he will be given.
thats sata for you. the real thief.
RB let the grand t h i e f out because of the same attitude of Africans. Not bothered at all or they won`t do anything about it. It had to take a foreigner to speak out for them.
yaba awe cayafya nomba. but what mumbi to me is doing is very disgusting, why as he resorted to such attacks. RB should be careful with such people, a woman or man who divorces will never tell you good about the former spouce. remember a bemba saying says that makunkutu talanda umulandu bamutetele amolu, what makes our president to be too naive to see that fact and allow such nosense and rubbish continue at the expense of telling kasama people why great north road is dillapidated while great east road is almost completed in terms of rennovations.
Poverty in Zambia is really get worse and worse and worse, Mumbi is just another politicker who needs a job from RB and i wonder how much he was paid. As for PF i would advise you not to pay attention to such becuase the more you respond to them the more time you waste in your campaigning.
But ba LT mwapwa bwangu… Mwapwa nga sopo- nayo lifebouy, iyi pwila pakati. Lilya ifintu fyatampa ukuwama elyo mwapwa. Mwapwila pakati. Shame!
Mumbi is simply a bootlicking coward who coudn’t stand up against a wrong at the right time, why has he chosen to speak out now?he is campaigning for the mmd candidate but attacking Sata as if its sata standing in the bye election.Gentlemen,the current crop of politicians suck! Who is paying for Mumbi’s stay in Kasama anyway? and why?
This man a Mumbi should mind his attacks, why did he join PF at that time and only now that is when he is talking about the money.Sata is not a treasurer but yes he has something to say at the end of the day.How much did Mumbi ge from PF?Let him tell the nation as well
LT why the one sided reporting? have you become a government mouthpiece? Almost all your positive stories are for government and your negative stories are for the opposition – how come? Bane, let us be fair as journalists.
fellow bloggers, we need to pray for this nation. Its only God the almighty who is going to take us out of this storm. Hallellujah…
Imwe ba Mumbi Sata asked you question we are still waiting for the answer. PF sent you to S.A to monitor the printing of ballot papers, what happened you never reported back to the secretariat, everyone know Kalale printed extra ballot papers. You are a kelenka, they gave you katamulomo, this culture of dribbling each other will not take us anywhere it’s difficult to trust anyone now. Without Sata ba Mumbi would still be selling charcoal and inama shampanga illegally to feed his clan.
who’s this man called mumbi why did he join PF?
umfwa mumbi kuti nakutuka iwe ayi cikala wabe ibolo kwati lyabushi
mumbi leka ifyabupuba
Mumbi is behaving like late Tetamanshimba when he left UPND. Mumbi must handover all PF documents back to the party because he resigned from the party. Let him continue enjoying telling lies and will soon run out of them. Why is still keeping documents that do not belong to his party?????????????????????????
I agree with #1, we surely need a new crop of politians, all these are just worsten our time, thats y cant even develop as a nation because of them all. its just too much of personal attacks, no one seems to tell us some senseable.

Wanungiya : I TELL YOU THAT NO MATTER HOW MUCH PEOPLE TRY TO HIDE FACTS, THE COLONIALISTS WERE BETTER ADMINSTRATORS OF GOVT. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THEY RESTRICTED US TO CERTAIN AREAS(NOW I KNOW WHY). THEY ENSURED ROADS WERE TARRED, SCHOOLS HAD TEACHERS HOUSES, THEY ENSURED MEALERS SOLD MEALIE MEAL AT OUR DOOR STEP-NO NEED TO GO TO SHOPS. THE FACT THAT THEY BUILT COLLEGES MEANT THAT EVENTUALLY THEY WERE GOING TO BUILT A UNIVERSITY IN THIS COUNTRY. ALSO DRUNKNESS WAS NOT TOLARATED AND AS A RESULT WE WERE ALL VERY PROCTIVE IN FOOD GROWING AND THEREFORE MULNITRITION COULD NOT FIND ITS WAY IN OUR DICTIONARY. THEY ALSO ENSURED THAT WE VISITED OUR VILLAGES AT LEAST ONCE EVERY 2 YEARS THUS KEEPING THE VILLAGE VIBRANT. WE SLAVES UNDER THE BLACK MAN, UNDER OUR SELVES.
Mumbi you are just a thief why talk of money now and did not talk about this now. You have not helped anyone by telling us now. You should have taken Sata to the Anti-corruption. You bootlinkers you what to chew form MMD Now. YOU are a cheap politician and you people are the ones who are a danger to Zambian Politics Ka Koswe.
MWAYUMFWILA BAKAPALA. YOU ARE IN TROUBLE. THIS MUMBI IS JUST DOING POLITICS. FORGET ABOUT HIM. I BELIEVE HE IS SUPPORTING CHILUBA NOW. STAND AS MP ON MMD TICKET WE WILL SHOW U HOW UNPOPULAR U ARE.
#12 Abantu I agree with you. This site is becoming boring.
Edward Mumbi is a true patriot like Major Chizyuka of UPND he must receive massive patriotic support as auxiliary gears to enable his crusade tough every part of the country.I have just channeled US $2000.00 to Chizyuka to help his salvage late Anderson Mazoka’s legacy campaign. In the same vein i initiate the support to Honorable Edward Mumbi with token donation of US $2000.00 to his attention.This man needs a two SUVs, support security detail and money to meet his campaign needs.He need Gas and hotel coupons.Wherever he goes he will need deeper pocket.Democracy is expensive and Democracy Now must be cheerfully supported.Lets give love offering to this democratic icon standing against tribalism and PF thuggery. Good news Major Chizyuka has won a court injunction against ichilema.Bravo!
MUMBI U HAVE BURIED YOURSELF ALIVE. WE KNOW SATA VERY WELL EVEN DURING THE NAKAWALA ESTERS’S DAYS. HE IS A CROOK. BUT HE IS THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE CHAIR NOW. FUSEKI CI MUMBI. WAUMFWA SHANI
Mubi concentrate on talking about yourself and what you will do in MMD RATHER THAN TALK ABOUT SATA. you have already left PF
#26 U DON’T KNOW THESE CHARACTERS, MUMBI & CHIZYUKA. THEY ARE HOPELESS CHAPS WAIT FOR CHIZYUKA’S PRESS CONF. U WILL BE SURPRISED. CHIZYUKA HAS A HIDDEN AGENDA. THE 2 ARE LIKE REV ZULU OR IS IT NDLOVU WHICH EVER WHO PROMISED TO SPILL BEANS BUT HE ENDED UP CHEWING IT
MUMBI NIWE CHIMBWI, IMFUMFU, ATASE WE CHIWELEWLE!!!!!!
BA MUMBI MWABA ITOLE. MMD HAD PAID YOU
Mumbi leave Sata alone, u go like Teta. For your own information he is making consultations with witches on how to put u to rest.
Sata derives his name from Satan and only knocks off the n from his name to be called Sata. This means he is an agent of Satan.Any one supporting him can only be a satanist without a place in society. Sata is a natural soulless scumbag.You remember how he scammed funeral contributions of late Kanyama MP Henry Mtonga? The widow and orphaned protested.It too MMD and Government re-donate and ship the body to Eastern province.All the funeral contributions were stolen by Sata without a ngwee for food or children yet Henry Mtonga was a senior Party official.If someone can steal from a dead body, how can he preside over national treasury?This Sata chap is a heartless animal cursed for life.The blood of Mtonga is on his head while the cry of orphans robbed from are touching God’s heart.
This paper seem to be biased and appear more like an MMD mouth piece. Why are you always refering to Mumbi as FORMER PF G.S but when you refer to Mpombo you just call him MPOMBO and not former Defence Minister for RB. Mumbi left PF long before Mpombo resigned from gvt position. Let Mumbi build his own name and not continue getting popularity using SATA.
MUMBU …ITS LIKE U DAMP A WOMAN BUT U STILL KEEP AN EYE ON HER. WHY NOT MOVE ON. SATA HAS HIS ON SHORT COMINGS, NO ONE IS PERFECT UNDER THE SUN. BUT TO START DENOUNCING SATA AND PF SEND A MESSAGE TO MMD THAT MUMBI IS A POLITICAL PROSTITUTE WHO WILL DENOUNCE MMD IN THE SAME WAY IF THE PARTY DECIDES TO PARTY COMPANY WITH HIM. ITS NOT ABOUT WHETHER PF OR SATA OR HICHILEMA, IS A BETTER OPTION TO MMD BUT PEOPLE ARE JUST TIRED. AND THAT 1.D.1.0.T CALLED THIEF CHITIMUKULU IS QUOTED IN THE POST TODAY MAKING RACIST COMMENTS ON GUY SCOT WITHOUT RUPIYA TELLING HIM TO STOP AS SOMTHING OFF THE RECORD AND MARK BUT THEY ALL KEPT LISTENING. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN POWER IS IN WRONG HANDS. THOSE WHO CANT TAKE IT WE LEAVE THE COUNTRY THOSE BRAVE ENOUGH KEEP FIGHTING WITHIN THE SYSTEM.
You chaps can’t stopping annoying me with your secret endeavors. You are absolute sell-outs. Your intentions are always meant to benefit your so called donors when you enter State House. Look , you must stopping this nonsense of gaining funds from well wishers (Oh I mean bad wishers for the country) because when you come to State House you shall often be looking at the interests of donors and not the citizens. Zambians deserve better. Political parties must learn to run their own businesses to generate funds. If you do not move on from this colonial mentality, we shall continue having puppet leadership style. Muzungu anikonde. Wake up!!!
This man is a political prostitute! Whilst…… ‘He said he was the one who used to take the money to Mr. Sata whenever the party received funds from the donor community.’ was it his job to collect money ot the treasurer’s job? Zambians, please wake up! Don’t let such ignominiouses should neither be tolerated nor should they be given any fora- Thats why we now know that he was a shu shu shu and we gave him a chance to redeem himself but this is the real m….r f…..r. That’s why God made him short so that he can tell short lies!
Greetings everyone
It is sad to note that while other great leaders of this world are making history and being awarded Nobel Peace Prizes, our own politicians are fully engaged in mediocre politics of splashing mud at each other – Kindergarten level is even better, this is more like Babygarten.
#33 WE KNOW U ARE MULONGOTI AND I CAN PROVE IT. SATA NEVER STOLE MTONGA’S MONEY. U NEVER EVEN ATTENDED MTONGA’S FUNERAL KOLOKOMBWA
poverty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#35 U ARE WRITE. EVEN FOR ME MMD IS TOO SATURATED. WE NEED A NEW PARTY SO THAT WE CAN ACCESS SOME JOBS. U CAN’T GET A JOB IN MMD NOW WHEN CHAPS LIKE H E N R Y B A N D A, G A S T O N E S I C H I L I M A ARE AROUND. WE NEED JOBS
#1 Papa J:
Remember these? 1. Dean Mungomba – ZADECO 2. Nevers Mumba – NCC 3. Aka Lewanika – Agenda For Change 4. Dr Inonge Lewanika (?) 5. Dr F Mutesa (?) 6. Edith Nawakwi (ZRP) 8. Brig Gen Miyanda (Heritage), 9. Siulapwa (NG). Zambia is not short of political parties that have come and gone and led by ‘youthful’ people. When UNIP was formed the average age of its leaders was 45 years. It is not youth that is the answer to Zambia’s political woes, it is ‘the X factor.’ We are yet to discover it, but do NOT pin your hopes on mortal man, whose heart is deceitful above all things and desperately sick so that even his kindest acts are cruel.
hahahahaha…..so when its someone leaving the kaponya party,he is bought!….when mpompo left MMD,he was called a hero. Grow up! These are people who have shared the same toilet with Satan and know the color of his chizimba round his waist…..you ignorant PF die hards on LT no nothing apart from the lies Satan feeds you …and believe you me,the man knows what to say to people like you….by the way,why cant he let the ”people’s person” GBM sell himself to the people…satan is there 24/7…..that shows you that PF chose wrong candidate. And also tells us volumes about PF leadership crises…PF minus satan= DEAD PARTY
Let us just imagine for a moment that what Mumbi is saying was applicable to RB! Just sit back and without any prejudice think of what platform he would have received! Think of how a certain tabloid would have milked this! It is so very true that the public have a very short memory. RB first came into the Post headlines when he was photographed with his cousin Agnes after he had been appointed VP by LPM. There after no negative reports were ever made of him as he went about his VP duties. In actual fact he did the campaigning in the bye-elections while LPM stayed in Lusaka. All hell broke loose AFTER LPM was buried and the succession issue came up. Out of the blues, the Post went on a viscious and relentless attack on RB. They dug up only ONE thing from RB’s past…
Mr sata was Reported to have Challenged This Mumba to tell tha Nation why he came with his Mouth Shut wen he came to Inspect the Ballot Box wen Printing in S.A.to the run up to 2008 Presidential By-Election,and abt The Mercedes benz the Govt bought for him.This man is jst rubbishng himself with MMD.Ba LT You dint report this Let alone The Gallant Postnewspaper….Your blog is slowly Changing into MMD.is it Senior Citizen tellin you what to Post on this Blog? ba LT..
cont’d from 44
… when he lost the Munali seat to Ronald D Penza (deceased). It is so very strange that after the Post have hurled abuse after abuse on the man, they are now claiming to be victims! They show their self pity in editorial after editorial. Now the self flagellation has gone to the extent that the chief Editor blasphemously states ‘I am ready to go to calvary.’ Quiet often the abusive partner in a relationship assumes the role of victim. It is a sadomasochistic psyche. Under RB, not a single Zambian has been imprisoned without trial and due process. In Chiluba’s and LPM’s days some were locked up and released without trial. The stirist Kalaki was charged for defamation by LPM, and that was just satire! The insults they have heaped on RB are worse than that! RB is OK.
Almost cracking a rib here……! #45…I heard the same thing from satan ,the benz ..wow!. How many people or groups went to SA to monitor the printing of ballot papers?…Donors,PF,UPND,MMD,CIVIL SOCIETY…etc…all these people saw nothing wrong with what they saw there. Satan had an agenda long before the plane carrying mumbi and others took off for SA…If satan knew that there was something wrong in SA why wait for mumbi (still waiting) to talk?…foolish !
Awe ba Mumbi muli mbushi- meeee.
Just chew the money with RB instead of your unreasonable rants against Mr Sata. You where just a nonentity until you licked the backside of Sata to come into the limelight. Now you are licking RB’s behind which shows your general character.
If Sata has not accounted for the money, then it is your duty to report the same to the police for fraud as the PF is a registered organisation which has to account for its activities.
Also, can you name the donors and the amounts they gave so that Sata can refute your information. Otherwise, shut you trap you full.
Mumbi you are a coward. Why dint you talk about that when you were still in PF? You are a job seeker and not a politician. You seem to be suffering from unemployment and you think RB will give it to you. Before Sata explains about what you are talking about, you should also explain about what you saw about what Kalale did to the ballot papers in south Africa and you were silenced by cash. Now that what you got from MMD through Kalale has finished, you want a permanent job from RB by presenting your credentials through attacking Sata. Shame on you. Who can ever follow a leader like Mumbi?. Mumbi is a boot-liker like Sikota. Wachucha chabe Mumbi. Ngati zabvuta, endani kumunzi muka lime agulugufe imwe. Twanaka nenu bakelenka. Mumbi stop your mouth dirhea.
RB is a gentle giant. Those who know him know that the man is full of humour. He rarely gets angry. He has always had the widest smile you could imagine. The man is happy, secure and contented in himself. Perhaps those who are sad, unsecure and discontented are envious of him. Imagine what swearing would have come out of a great majority of people if a monkey did ‘number 1’ on them! But for RB, it was humour… ‘aah! Kanitundila…’ and with a twinkle in his eye and a broad smile on his face ‘I will give that one to Sata!’ Sata didn’t want any ‘gifts’ so he sent them to Mundawanga. Like “#35 I Write What I Like” says, ‘No one is perfect under the sun’ and so be it with RB too.
If you look into Sata’s eyes you will then realize with dismay that this man is retarded and his quest for power is an insult to you a Zambian.
#44 THE SAINT It does not matter who this Mumbi attacks it still boils down to political prostitution. If you look at these chaps behaviour you will have noticed that they will jump on any party that may offer them some kind of lively hood. In short this Mumbi saw that Sata was going to win the Presidential race and consequently be appointed something. But alas this was not to be and now he has seen a lot of weaknesses in RB he hopes by insulting Sata on “behalf” of RB he may just full fill his dream. Short memory? What about your MMD 360degrees change on FTJ. The same people were ready to kill Chiluba on “behalf” of LPM but to day its like this never happened and can dine with FTJ at ever chance. Consistence my friend is the key even if it means to stay without food. 1day cant rot an…
Nobody can beleive this man Edward Mumba’s allegations agaist Sata. Its all sour grapes. Why was he atking money from donors and well wishers straight to Sata istaed of the Treasurer if at all there was one. Mumbi is a job seeker from RB. What is coming out of his mouth is the usual Zambian politics of insulting each other once you part company. Mumbi was an insider of PF and as a leader he is expected to keep what he knew to his chest. With this type of character he is exihibiting am afraid even if RB gave him a job and he fires him he will be allover telling what he knew about RB and team. Mr. Mumbi is a disgrace and I hope is not husband to dignified woman of God, Florence. Pepole of Kasama Central just like any other Zambian will not words or name calling but want action to sort…
#22 De javu
How old are you, if I may ask?
A Legacy is what someone or something is remembered for or what they have left behind that is remembered, revered or has impacted current events and the present day
1. ENSURED ROADS WERE TARRED
2.SCHOOLS HAD TEACHERS HOUSES
3. MEALERS SOLD MEALIE MEAL AT OUR DOOR STEP-NO NEED TO GO TO SHOPS
4. THE FACT THAT THEY BUILT COLLEGES MEANT THAT EVENTUALLY THEY WERE GOING TO BUILT A UNIVERSITY IN THIS COUNTRY. 5. DRUNKNESS WAS NOT TOLARATED
6. PROCTIVE IN FOOD GROWING AND THEREFORE MULNITRITION COULD NOT FIND ITS WAY IN OUR DICTIONARY
7. WE VISITED OUR VILLAGES AT LEAST ONCE EVERY 2 YEARS THUS KEEPING THE VILLAGE VIBRANT.
Chi Sata lelo…its your time to exculpate yourself…their is no sacred cow on this earth…I know Sata is a very big dictator who cant even account for the parties money.He is so dull that he entrusted his trust in a person whom he least expected to disappoint him…people of Zambia, Chimbwi pakulila ninshi pali epo ashintilile….Mumbi has got facts about P.F just like Sata had facts about MMD when he was the CEO of the party….Mumbi, you should be sensible enough to know that a political rally is not the right platform to air important issues.How can you say sensible things on Rupiah Banda’s rally? Why didnt you just call for a press conference? Bushe imwe mwefibantu amano mwatwala kwi? no wonder we dont need you recycled politicians in this country..we need a Obama to redeem us mwe.
Viva UPND/PF PACT good decision Bri. General Miyaanda President for PACT, Sata – Vice President and HH – Prime Minister. MMD mwafwa bangwele enough is enough ka mumbi shut up your stinking mouth your days on earth are numbered
1. The only tarred intercity road was from Chingola to Livingstone.
2. Teacher’s houses were grass thatched rondavels, like Kamwala village or single bed bungalows you see in Matero (Lusaka), Chimwemwe (Kitwe) and Chifubu (Ndola)
3. Millers sold mealie meal at door steps is just marketing by private icikayo owners. 4. In 1964 there were less than 100 University graduates and 3 or so Zambian doctors! Nearly all educated in Rhodesia, South Africa and Makerere! Highest learning institutions were Primary Teacher’s colleges, Opeinheimer College (now Ridgeway campus), Technical colleges (to supply mine staff) and technical schools. Many other schools preceded colonialsm because they were built by Missionary agencies.
sinner citizen, never under estimate the power of a vote. chaps like you end up committing suicide once power changes hands. wait and see. we had plenty of those who thought kaunda was a god and will never be removed from power but all hell broke loose and where is he now? just mooting and trying to win public sympathy. the kk we knew as th voice of africa is now weak and never to make any sizeable impact be it social or political. just looking at the mess currently in the offing in zed, he must have made radical statements to alleviate problems but he cant coz he still remembers how he was hounded out of state house and in that humiliating mood, he has become a docile and dormant former head of state, just in the limelight and no where near MADIBA
5. The African police constable (kapaso) was more loyal to muzungu. (Mr Sata can explain that better). Most Africans could only afford illicit brew. That is why they were often in trouble with the law. Heinrich invented Chibuku as a compromise for the miners in South Africa and the rest of southern Africa. 6. Zambians in small holdings and villages were subsistent farmers. Faming techniques then, did not require ‘inputs’ and all farming was organic and small scale. Yields were low. On the other hand it was colonialism that introduced intensive farming and destroyed livelihoods.
7. The urban MEN went back to villages for their WIVES who had been left behind. This practice destroyed families and spread ST infections.
WHAT A LEGACY!
#54 and 57, Charley, you remind me of those olden days. we need to go back to the drawing board and start anew coz once we reach a state of no return, we may end up being a national desert for foreign goods, unwanted residents (refugees) etc. we can make it by being sincere to our selves and be honest enough to work faithfully and be committed to good causes in society. why cant we take a leaf at koreans who worked from nothing to superpowers, the Japanese had two dreadful encounters with atomic bombs but the whole nation is tranformed. look at malaysia and singapore. we were far much better than these places countries at independence but alas,we are kumbuyo. nichani chichitika pa zed kansi? with chaps like citizen, we may as well forget development till they die
The cat is coming out of the bag, so to speak. So, RB’s bribe is bigger than Sata’s, right? Just shut up and enjoy your new slavery status. Neither you nor Sata nor the MMD is relevant to our present and future. What mediocrity we have to do with!
The problem is pipo like Mumbi is that when he was a PF member his mouth was shut,now that he wants a job that is when he is opening his month when the maney is already spent.Shame on both of you.( Mumbi and Sata).
#60 Che Guavara
I could not agree more. The point I am trying to impress upon the Zambians who talk down their achievements everyday and sing the Bazungus tune that we have failed, is that we are not failures. We are not where we should be but we are not where we were. It is time each and every Zambian begun to believe in themselves and say YES ‘I’ CAN! We cannot just sit back and hope for some ‘messiah’ to drop from the sky and help us. I was disappointed with the budget that depends on foreign aid up to 30%! Government is borrowing so that it can please people! Zambians MUST face austerity. We have never had it so good but on borrowed money! We need to do away with the UNNECESSARY luxuries, like fuel guzzling, environmentall unkind motor vehicles!
All you Zambians are f o o l i s h people. Kill chi Senior Citizen and f o o l s like him simple.
Chrales blacks are failures do not argue. Do not even start me on Obama. You guys have failed to look after yourselves. Look at Nigeria, Angola and now SA. Give bacifita something and they want to keep it in their back gardens even when they are not using it. Why should your Vice president have four cars at home? Mwanya mukalalombafye ififine.
Mumbi is a failure seeking job from MMD, but am glad that the president has not seen him fit to run the affairs of this nation let him ask the Devil to deliver him as he belongs to that kingdom of darkness.
Does this Senior Citizen think about the future of our beloved country?he seem to be having a problem with analysing political issues for the bettermen of the future..all he talks is nosensical,and he seems to be paid to be on this blog.With much respect to your freedom to freely express yourself,let it not be hopless expressions which even yourself knows deep down your heart that you are not helpning us”Zambians” making criticism which will build our country.
Zambian politics have reached alarming levels were stake holders have completely lost direction. Chiefs, former party members like Mumbi above, cadres, voters, electoral commisioners and some of you bloggers have become useless and empty tins. Just making noise anyhow. I pity LT since these are just copyrited stories or what ever they call it. News in Zambia today is not inspring, neither is it hope building because all you see is politics of issults, divisive and of no sanity at all day in day out. Pertinent issues of development are completely forgotten about. This reminds me of UNIP’S endind time prior to the 1991 general elections.
How do I distiguish Edward Mumbi’s sentiments from Mpombo George’s? Can Mumbi substantiate is allegation in the courts of law?
Imagine sata as HE ….he will spend all his time smoking dagga with Willie Nsanda and fornicating with Mumbi Phiri in the state house golf grounds and will have monkey meat braiiii daily.
Devils of development. Always fighting one another both physically and politically. Shifting all focus from hope building and developmental issues to utterly aimless and injurious statements and backbiting. Some chaps have left the pulpit to seek political ambition only to be seen off as ambassadors in lands they always wished to live. Ka Mumbi nako kaima talking sponsored nonsense against the former party. Ka mpombo nako ati iyo shani.
PLEASE POLITICAL HEADS BE SUBJECTED TO INTRA -PARTY DEMOCRACY. UNIP IS IN PROBLEMS, PF HAS REBELS, MMD HAS REBELS AND UPND HAS REBELS. Now where is the problem. POWER NO INTEREST OF THE COUNTRY AT HEART. WHEN YOU LOSE 2 TO 3 ELECTIONS, PAVE WAY TO YOUR COLLEAGUE THROUGH ELECTIONS NOT ANOINTMENT FROM PREDECESSORS
Zambia has lagged so much
RB kwena uli bo low eeee!
#69 RB kwena uli bo low eeee!
We are tired of hearing Chiluba’ s name. Your campaign logo and policy Kafupi does not put food in people’s houses, kafupi does not increase the wages of teachers and nurses, Kafupi does build up hospitals, kafupi does not educate the youth. Kafupi does not even want to give the Zamtrop money for the MMD convention. Why is kafupi always on the talking points of MMD govt officials?What is Rbee and his administration about. Your message is hijacked by Chiluba. Forget about elections and your opponents . Mr President and admin concentrate on creating jobs, educating the children of Z improving the health system, stopping corruption and building Z owned business. Not speeches but action. There is alot of work to be done to improve the people in Z living standards. Leave a good RB legacy.
Maybe intra-party democracy should be enshrined in the Constitution. We must also see to it that bye- elections are also done away with. They (bye-elections) are a danger even to the genetically ill chiefs who sell off the interests of the people for handouts like there forefathers who sold their people as slaves oversees. They got their genes from them no wonder some chiefs of high standing can not resist the pressure. Learn from chaps you copied governance/democracy from. Their politics are not as messy and low grade and sub class as ours. Mumbi take your allegations to court, so we can see the other chap defend himself though the past picture coming from our courts have been disappointing let alone makeshift and useless. Voters grow up, vote wisely in Kasama not another Deserter.

I agree with Charles. Perhaps you may want to read ‘How Europe Underdeveloped Africa’ by Walter Rodney (East African Educational Publishers). A nation’s pysche is developed over a very long time. Tell a person how useless they are over and over again, and they will soon believe it behave useless. Development is a strange process. Sir Isaac Newton said, ‘What I have achieved, I have achieved because I stand on the shoulders of giants.’ A people must have a foundation base upon which to build. If the foundations are destroyed or non-existent, what can the people do? One of the most successful countries in Africa is Namibia. Before independence Namibian civil service was set up and trained in exile. They have done very well.
This Mr Edward Mumbi is acting like school kid. She said… he said…This so embarassing for alot of Zambians. The police are around if you witness stealing and have proof beyond reasonable doubt go and report it. But I forgot if Kafupi is involved it might not be so straight forward for some…….There seems to be a breed of unproffessional leaders acting like children. I would rather hear how Mr Mumbi built a school or managed to train 100 youths life skills etc What is happening to Zambia? Debates with oppostion parties should be about economic policies,agriculture policies, educational policies etc. It is the poor people who suffer in the long term when the conversation is only about Chiluba and 2011 elections. These leaders are not being made accountable for their actions
Eya shani iyo. Ba Kalimwitobo ba kwindi.
#75 The Saint I get your point. But, why do we have to be lloking back to what we went through years ago? After slavery, we eventually gained independence. Do you realise that there was a time our economy was far much better than most countries in the world some of which are doing far much better? I will tell what, since independence the Zambia of yesterday has always been better than the one of yesterday and I am afriad things do not look like changing.
Than the one of today and afraid!
#78, 79 contd. Look at people in power at the moment. The first thing an African is going to think about when vopted into power is how he is going to be rich. The fact that politicians are never answerable to people makes it worse. Give me just one plan which the MMD government has in place say for 2015! Their plans only go upto probably 2011 there after fikaisova when RB wins again. This is reason people think Chiluba brought development to Zambia because he resurfaced roads-f o o l s! People are building structures they are calling homes yet if one goes to the council there are no plans for water and electricity expansion-f oo ls again
Mumbi is just another chap bot by mmd very soon he will be sent somewer, like N-mumba , sakwibaa etc zambian politics
iwe Che Guevara, sata is the treasurer of PF. All PF money is kept in his personaL finance bank account looked after by his nephew miles sampa
edward mumbi is sata’s first cousin and was brought in to manage PF affairs by Sata himself directly. so the things he is revealing are very true. sata does not trust anyone apart from himself and he handles all money issues directly in PF
YABA MR MUMBI,AM DISSAPOINTED..KANSHI YOU R OSO ONE OF THOSE ROGUE CADRES.ENJOY WHILE IT LASTS.
#78 SOKOMUNTU- The failure by Zambians is that when one is comfortable he is blind to whatever evil has befallen the unluky ones. Zambia’s economy was killed by KK and taken to Leopard Hill by FTJ. Lets not support our parties blindly even when we the plunder that’s going on unabeted.
hahahaha i see people complaining about LT airing these Sata-Crook stories, surely how can you not want them to expose this about someone that has been trying to get to plot one all his life? And there is really no need to mention that Mpombo was Defence minister, it is a known fact and that he was a senior NEC member. How many stories of Govt do they carry here and no one complains. This is fine, EXPOSE them nad if you have dirt on RB please do the same.
Can some who knows this former telephone operator shade more light on this traitor. Even to RB and MMD he will do the same. Mind you a snake is always a snake. We dont need leader who wash linen in public. Politics of umusalula are long gone with UNIP & ANC days. We want strategies of how we are going to position ourselves in the current global economic set up and sort our problems and leave Zambia a better place for future generations. Chaps and failurers like Mumbi are practising politics of the dignity in front (Stomach politics) Its like Chimbwe no plan. The trouble of beinng a professional begger one never stops the game no matter how hard things may appear to others. That is Mumbi the traitor of all times. Beter keep Zee. More info on this man fellow bloggers
Mumbi you are a whore,your mother was a whore en her mother was a whore too,you are very useless,have you been licking TETE’s balls or is it the very ***** who happen to award you with a government job,wabe itole mu chinyo nangula pampumi.
Politics in Zambia is about insults.why didnt mumbi say all this when it was happening?why didnt mpombo say all that during his time?yaaabaaa kwena ifwe mu zambia.no one talks about development.even the president himself cant say something constructive but kulachitafye ifishobo baleishobafye ukwina kwati lisaka lyabumga,then naumbi ato tribalist too bad for our zambia
#88 Government please hold your fire nge nselesho chabashani wemwaume we!!
Hey! have heard that Siulapwa is the new deputy Ambassador to USA.
#90 We mwaume INSAKA kuti wasuka watukana kucifukushi. i don’t encourage insulting though.
All so confusing, and yet the truth is, yes, we have failed to take care of our basic needs. Look, we don’t even drink clean water. I agree that the answer should probably come from outside – the guys and dolls in the diaspora. But will they be allowed to come in at the door? No. The Constitution says you have to be a local slave for the past ten years to qualify for a mule, without any acres. As for Mumbi, please, S H U T U P! Go back and apologize to your fellow rascal, Sata, and he’ll give you some leftovers. Maybe.
Mr Mumbi, this information you are dishing out is irrelevant because of the platform you are using. If you had resigned from PF and then held a press briefing where you told the nation these things, maybe we would have believed you. But to come out now on an opposition platform is just sour grapes. It shows how immature you are as a learner politician. Zambian politicians seem not to know what INTEGRITY means. The man you are accusing of pocketing party funds has been in government for a long time. Even LPM failed to convict him on anything even when he served he the most corrupt government in Zambia under one, FTJ. Besides, what were you doing handling funds when you were the CEO. Where was the party treasurer. You obviously thought Sata will give u a cut by u delivering the cash to him.
BA MUMBI MULI BABUFU SANA NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY SATA IS OUR PRESIDENT YOU ARE JUST JEOULOSE MUDALA SATA WILL CONTINUE GETTING FUNDS UNTIL HE BECOME PRESIDENT OF ZAMBIA AND WILL BE YOUR PRESIDENT TO YOU AND CHJILBA AS RB WILL THE FORMER PRESIDENT. OHOOOOOOOO WAKAPA MUMBI
Honestly lets look at pipo RB is accommodating at this time of campaign, Mumbi is clearly looking for a job in Movement for multi-destruction party. the time mumbi will be kicked out of MMD he will come back and accuse RB of stealing donor money. His calibre of politics is below par. If chi Mumbi u ar up right why didnt u bring this issue when u were still in PF Party?
Enough is enough, its time to change, the all political scenario should change especially wen it coms to campaigns, campaigns of character assacination are long gone. we need politicians who are morally upright and who can give campaigns of issue based to zambian pipo. Pipo like Mumbi are just suckers in zambian politics.

I follow your argument and if you analyse it closely you will realise that we agree. However, we do not agree on the stereotyping of the race. I never want to blame our woes on the colonial past. But, we cannot exclude that part of our history from the role that it played. When you say, “our economy was far much better than most countries in the world” what are your bench-marks? In 1964, there were 4 million Zambians! It took 100 years to grow the population from 1 million to 4, and that only through mass immigration! It has taken only 45 years to grow from 4 million to 11 million, and that through births!! The tiger economies do not have a disproportionate number of adults to children as we have.
There is good debate going on here but amidst so much filth from the PF supporters. These are the kind of people who shout at the television sets! One may be upset that a former henchman is spilling the beans, but surely, that is not a reason to write unprintables! Attack the evidence that Mumbi has adduced and not his person or his mother!! Let us hear a rebuttal from the accused! We wait with bated breath.

I agree with you about corruption and selfishness and greed amomg our people, but again, that is not unique to Africa. The history of western politics is replete with horror stories of corruption. Japan, Italy, France etc have led the way in the recent times.When people say we had a better economy in the past what exactly do they mean? Apartheid South Africa had the highest per capita income in Africa, but only 24 white babies died out of 1000 live births but more than 100 black babies. We are said to be underdeveloped because we have not yet exhausted our natural resources. We still have wild animals, minerals and vast arable land. How can you say a Zambian living on 1 acre of land, has 50 goats and 10 cattle is poor just because he has no toliet or electricity?
Charles its normal to Africa right? Look your children will have children who will have to go through this as well. Not bothered are you?
Long live Sata ..Sata. W ithout you Zambians would be trampled upon by the MMD-thieves. You have kept the MMD-thieves on their toes. That is why I like you Sata. I have noted your consistence, you are never bought, you have continued talking on behalf of Zambians. Many have tried but since they like money they have ended up in MMD pocket, but you have kept on going. Without you there is no news in Zambia, without you Sata there is no blogging on LT. Sata..Sata the man who was born under a tree and all the Cobras worshiped him. Sata ..Sata the brain teaser!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KAMBONGOLO WALASA.SATA IS THE ONLY CONSISTENT OPPOSITION LEADER WE HAVE WHO MAKES ALL THESE CHAPS SIT UP.I MUST ALSO ADD HH BECAUSE THE YOUNG MAN HAS NOT RELENTED,HAS NOT LOST THE ENERGY EVEN WITH THE 2008 RIGGED RESULTS.THESE ARE MEN OF COURAGE,PERSEVERENCE,FORTITUDE FOR MOTHER ZAMBIA.WHILST YOU HAVE GOLD DIGGERS LIKE THIS SHAMELESS MUMBI WHO LOOKS LIKE A FOOL IN THE PICTURE.SATA AND HH WILL GO IN THE ANNALS OF ZAMBIAN HISTORY AS TRUE SONS OF THE SOIL.IT IS TOUGH TO BE IN THE OPPOSITION.THESE GALLANT MEN WILL BE REWARDED.THEY ARE RESPECTED AND THAT IS WHY THEY DONT BRIBE ANYONE TO JOIN THEIR PARTIES.PEOPLE FOLLOW THEM ON THE BASIS OF THEIR OUTSTANDING PRINCIPLES.REMENBER THE MEASURE OF A MAN IS SEEN WHEN HE FALLS AND WHAT HE DOES AFTER THE FALL.GOD BLESS SATA,HH,MIYANDA AND OTHERS .
VP KUNDA is a man without shame.All you have to do is go back to Levy’s era and check his comments on the Chiluba case.If he had any scruples he would have resigned on principle because of the ireconcilable statements over FTJ .For one in a law profession,his actions are a disapointment.Today he is inciting the Youths most of them unemployed,he is promoting anarchy.Will he quench the fire when it erupts because the PACT too has youths waiting to unleash their venom.We need leaders who can preach peace.we need leaders who can inspire the youth like how Obama did in the USA.We are fatigued by such leaders without vision,unable to create hope.Much of the time even at their level of VP ,they are playing partisan politics instead of even attempting to deliver on their promises.Whtat a shame,VP
For our President to publicly entertain a man like Mumbi tells a lot about his character. For God’s sake the President must exhibit some statesmanship that can distinguish him from others.As fellow bloggers have observed,if indeed Mumbi has information on Sata,why not report him to the police.,and thats what Banda should encourage.Banda must know he is a President and therefore his message to the people must be cut in a different cloth even as he campaigns for his candidate.I feel so ashamed that we have this kind of a low calibre president who behaves so much like a cadre..I cant believe he is an Economist. In this day and age.Why cant he behave like others,take a leaf from Mandela,that great guy who endears so many. The President can win hearts by his humility,focus on issues .
Who is giving advice to RB.What value is MUMBI ADDING.PLEASE RB TWAPAPATA,HAVE SOME WISDOM.BIG MAN LIKE YOU CANT GIVE US SOME NEW DIRECTION.INSONI INE .CAN SOMEONE ADVICE THIS RB TO BEHAVE LIKE A PRESIDENT.BUNDA BWAKUSHITA AMA SUIT NAMA PURPLE TIE YAKWA KAFUPI.KAFUPI IS A DISGRACE WHO IS LOOKING FOR FOLLOWERS AND HE HAS FOUND YOU,A BLIND FOLLOWER.TANDIWE PLEASE GIVE YOUR HUSBAND SOME GOOD ADVICE,IAM SURE BA LATE HOPE MAKULU WOULD HAVE BEEN DOING SO.OH HOW I WISH SHE WAS ALIVE,SHE WOULD HAVE DEFINETELY BROUGHT GRACE TO THE PRESIDENCY.MAY HER SOUL REST IN PEACE.JUST LIKE LATE SALLY MUGABE WOULD HAVE NOT ALLOWED ROBERT TO GO OFF,SHE WAS A WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE..I INSIST THAT WOMEN SHOULD HELP SHAPE THEIR HUSBANDS. MONENI ABANENU BA MICHELLE,BRINGING GRACE.AND IAM SURE TANDIWE CAN ALSO DO IT.
2011 is a no go area for ba ngwele like Mumbi na Nyamasoya,Kunda,Mulongoti,the big for nothing Shikapwasha.Zambians please encourage the youth to register as voters and lead a revolution. Selflesness in service is what is urgently required.We need to hold these characters accountable for their promises. Banda hosted a very expensive Indaba. Up to now nothing has come out of it. The President is a joke.Cant believe he served in KK’S Cabinet.We need someone who can change the way Councils operate,because that is where development must begin.Iam calling for a revolution.We cant continue living as if we are in stone age.Please let us identify progressive people in all the parties and bring them together to move this country forward. Look at the likes of Milupi,Lubinda,Sylvia Masebo,Magande
Look at all sectors,in churches and assemble people who genuinely loveZambia and want to improve the country.Iam callling on Zambians abroad to join a new struggle and rescue ZAMBIA from pettiness.God sent you to school so that you can elevate your country. There are many ways you can help.Register as voters,Come home in 2011 and vote and you can go back.. Uproot Banda and his cronies,spineless,shameless Kundas,MULONGOTIS,MORALLY CORRUPT VJM.YOU WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOURSELF IF YOU DONT RISE TO THE CHALLENGE.LET US GIVE HOPE TO THE YOUNG,LET US MAKE A DIFFERENCE.PLEASE CONTRIBUTE TO THIS DISCUSSION. INFACT I EXPECTED LT TO LEAD SUCH DISCUSSIONS INSTEAD OF RUNNING NEWS FROM GOVT MEDIA.LT SHOULD HAVE PIONEERED SUCH DISCUSSIONS,AND IAM SURE WE CAN PROGRESS TO SOME LEVEL.WHY SHOULD LT RUN
SUCH NEWS THAT DOES NOT INSPIRE PROGRESSIVE DISCUSSIONS,BUT WE JUST COMMENT.COME ON LT,PLAY YOUR PART UNLESS AS OTHERS SUGGEST YOU ARE WORKING FOR THE MMD,ALTHOUGH YOU MUST BE DISAPPOINTED WITH ANTI-MMD SENTIMENTS EXPRESSED.
Perhaps all political parties should stop this propaganda behaviour of parading defectors. It is like glorifying Judas Iscariot. These defectors should be shamed and not praised.
Mr Mumbi can you explain why you left Zamtel where you were bullying you fellow workers and pretending to be from OP? Dont waste our time ….lol
Us in MMD are very peaceful people and we do not like finger pointing. Viva MMD, viva RB
Chi mumbi can you return the blown envelop to mmd because you have failed to deliver with your hallucinations. Viva pf lets see what happens in solwezi. Kasama people we salute you.
YEA SATA CAN BE CROOKED,BUT RB IS MORE CROOCKED AS MUCH AS HH, HE IS A BETTER OPTION TO RB N KA HH.SO HE HAS MY VOTE,PERIOD.
MUMBI I NOW SEE WHY U GOT KICKED,AND IF HE GOT THE MONEY AND HE DIDNT GIVE A SHARE,HE SAW THE TYPE OF CREATURE YOU ARE,AND SOON MMD WILL KICK YOU TOO.BUT ALL THE SAME OUR MINDS ARE MADE,WE WANT SOME ONE TO SHAKE ZAMBIA,REMOVE THOSE CORRUPT PEOPLE LIKE RB AND HIS GANG,THATS WHAT WE WANT.SO MR SATA I CAN ASSURE YOU,MY VOTE AND MY FRIENDS’ ARE YOUR AND MY FAMILIES.WE WANT UBUYANTASHI IN ALL AREAS.
