PRESIDENT Banda’s son James has sued Kafulafutamember of Parliament George Mpombo for libel over the latter’s allegations that he was involved in the procurement of arms worth US$100 million from South Africa.
Mr Banda says Mr Mpombo’s allegation has injured his credibility and reputation and brought him into public scandal, ridicule, odium and contempt.
“The said words in their natural and ordinary meaning meant and were intended to mean by innuendo that the plaintiff is acquiring wealth corruptly, illegally and by abuse of Government. The words further meant that the plaintiff is dishonest, a thief and has illegally attained his wealth through undue influence as he is the son of the President,” Mr Banda said in his statement of claim filed in the Lusaka High Court.
He is claiming damages for libel contained in The Post newspaper edition of April 19, 2011 where the outspoken former Minister of Defence claimed that he left Government because he did not agree with President Banda’s decision to award an arms supply deal to James Banda’s allies based in South Africa.
He is also seeking an injunction to restrain Mr Mpombo, his servants or agents from publishing the said words or other similar words.
He is further claiming damages or footing of aggravated or exemplary damages and any other relief the court may deem fit.
Mr Banda said he is a prominent businessman with various business dealings with local, regional and overseas organisations through various companies which are duly incorporated pursuant to provisions of the Companies Act Chapter 388 of the Laws of Zambia.
He said he is neither a civil servant nor a politician but the President’s son.
Mr Banda said on April 17, 2011 Mr Mpombo appeared on Muvi Television and gave an interview where he maliciously issued a false, disparaging, and defamatory statement concerning his reputation and business.
He said on April 19, 2011 Mr Mpombo again falsely and maliciously uttered the same words in The Post, alleging that had the arms deal gone through, Mr Banda would have received 10 percent of the total transaction value as a kickback.
[Zambia Daily Mail]
Mpombo u are finished
Tell us more James!! Why rush for an injunction, when you dad is already hounding the man?? Is this the way of finally getting the 10% you missed out on???
Shame on you James. Trying to secure your banker and berth since y’all getting out of power. Sue me…..
This (I think) is a good and mature decision mr Banda, it gives an opportunity to Mr Mpombo to prove his allegations against u and Mr Rupia Banda (farmer, Msc). The only problem is our courts are badly compromised, I wonder if mr Mpombo would get a fair justice on this one.
Nkhani yalula mpombo u are broke
Nkhani yalula mpombo you are broke and the post is not there for u.you are facing the heat alone.
People, Mpombo never said the deal went through, he said the president wanted to use his sons to buy the arms in question but when RB realised not everyone was on his side, the whole issued was cancelled. So this man’s (banda) case has no basis (i think coz am not a lawyer). The case that is there is ‘attempted corruption’ if such a case exists.
So Mr James Banda you are suing Mpombo for something he didnt say about you.
Mpombo has an opportunity to reveal everything. Even those servicemen he went with must come out and speak out honestly.
James can use the father’s courts that acquitted a corrupt Kafupi to get at Mpombo, but this year is a year like no other, suing Mpombo could prove costly to his father’s political fortunes.
Lets wait and see, the game has just begun. Pweeerrrrrrrrr!!!!
I wouldn’t like to be associated with JB when his father leaves office. I foresee misery. But he might be blind to the future. Pity.
I would love to hear Mpombo give facts in the courts of law. I hope he was not making comments based on suspicions and hearsay because if that was the case then Nkhani yalula. It will be more money for James.
Let Mpombo give credible evidence in the courts of law so that Zambians can see who is lying. If Mpombo, correctly described by Sata as ‘Impombo’ is found wanting, he should pay all damages so that he is licked clean. He will even sell the dictionaries he uses to chun-out those preposterous words he is fond of. Just by sight, you can tell that there is something wrong with this man and one wonders how such charecters even manage to find themselves high-up in the ladder of power.
Mpombo was fired, he did not just quit. He is a bitter man. If it is true how ever that the Bandas wanted to steal our money, then trouble for the….we will never let them off. If however Impombo is lying because he is just bitter like Kamlongoti, then let the whole weight of the Government be upon him. Make sure he is brooke to the bone.
# 11 & 12, you’ve really made my day. That Mpombo will have to sell his dictionaries to meet legal cost/damages. Awe ikali. Further I like your balanced blog.
Yeah James, go ahead! If George knew there’s no proof but went ahead to say the words publicly, then he should answer for his utterances. The sooner George grows up, the better for his own ass.
Quoting #11 ‘Just by sight, you can tell that there is something wrong with this man and one wonders how such charecters even manage to find themselves high-up in the ladder of power’. One wonders indeed!
Guys we seem to be missing the point here, does the government have $100 million to spare, sure if such funds are available can they not be put to better use, for goodness sakes cant they use that for infrastructure development, build new roads instead of mending the ones the British left in 1964!!!
Good for the tasty duicker to prove its innocence before the courts of law. There is nothing to be scared of. Are these not the same courts which convicted an MMD MP only last week? So Mupombo just go there and produce bombastic evidence.
Days are also numbered with james,not long ago he was involved in the RP capital/Zamtel scandal and we havent forgoten.There many dirty deals james is sort to be involved but for now he hides under his fathers protection.Wait even chiluba was clever but time came when all his dirty deals were unearthed.

What image to protect James? The image is already tarnished.
Mpombo has really done it this time. Why create lies just to discredit RB? Is it because he promised you presidency after his 3 year term and now he has changed his mind? If so, better you talk about what you can do and not what you think people have done. Mpombo should concentrate on marketing himself to the people instead of scandalising his self created enemies. We need mature politics in Zambia.
James is correct in suing this buffoon for for telling lies. You cant win an election by telling lies!
do you have any proof that George is telling lies?
Ba Mpombo mwailetelela nomba.We ll now observoiusly observe if the braggadocious infantirial infantry in ndola outskirtacious rural will save you.
#11 you have given me quite a laugh. walinfulungana ayi(hope u don’t mind me saying this) ati he’ll even sell the dictionaries he uses to churn out those words. ya, kaumfwika bwino mwe. Good day!!
….and you add forgery to his problems..awe sure, the man will surely have some sleepless nights for a while. Braggadocious man is in maningi trouble. How can a whole lot of a Deffence minister forge accomodation receipts, what about his driver how low will his driver sink? These are the issues Zambia need to sort out once and for all, forget just getting excited, these are indications that something is seriously wrong and it needs to be cured.
Go ahead Its your time.
James is opening a pandoras box here. Has he forgotten the chiluba is a thief case? for Mpombo to win the case, he just needs to show that james has no reputation at all and that can be based on any case that he chooses, including the RP capital case.
Ba Mpombo ba mwisho mwamona nomba. Even boys have started dragging you to court because of your loose mouth. Too much talk time mwanya. Always in court, are you a State Council?
Hasn’t the bearded duiker already said that he does not have evidence to back up his claims? You see the double standards of the putrid flesh (pf) supporters ka? When the 3 in 1 snake (sick, tired,old) with a phobia of stairs sues the likes of Chanda Chimba III, they are very happy and dance around Kulima tower. Now James Banda , who has every right just like anybody else sues Mpombo, all of a sudden the courts are compromised? So for pf, the only people allowed to sue another Zambian citizen are pf supporters and their leader with a barely functioning heart. If you are MMD, you somehow forfeit your right to seek redress in court and that is why it is perfectly fine for Satanzania to have God knows how many cases in court but an anathema for James to seek justice.
I was with Bwezani Banda at Chizongwe. Though younger than me he was two years senior to me. I am mentioning him here because I saw his name maliciously named. The man was one of the top 5 intellectually. He can do everything good.
Chimunya,
‘bearded duiker’ That is a classic. I look forward to the ‘bearded duiker’ court appearance to hear his braggadocio first hand. Zambian politics is not short of classic comedians and this kamalasha turn Political comedian ranks only next to Cobra.
Finally a man with sense let Mupombo go and make his allegations real..and for those saying James has no reputation, each one of us has a reputation to protect…He has every right to seek court protection and the injunction will be in place until the court matter is held..now mUpombo has 10 million kwacha bounced cheque pending, libel case and ofocourse the forgery case at the Ministry and this is from a man who held the 3rd most powerful position in the land and often acted as president under LPM…..Good luck to him as he wriggles out of the web he has span for himself…
Chiluba is a thief case is a good example of what can come out of this court case. Remember the Post regard Mpombo as a good source of information and James Banda is attracting problems by sueing Mpombo. He is know for dirty deeds and thats how chiluba put himself in trouble and ruined his reputation. In such court cases Mpombo will bring out all the dirty dealings James is associated with and that will compell more people to tell us what this little man James Banda has done…This is a 2 edged sword that can bring goodness and sadness on James and Mpombo
Ever wonder what happened to the KKK? The justice Department waged a slew of civil cases until the organisation because broke due to the ever piling legal bills. No wonder Winter Kabimba didn’t even show up at the corruption case. Probably some outstanding bills there.
Mpombo : ‘My highness as I stand here confined by this four sided vestibule as witness supreme in my own stead hereby now declare my meretricious, meritorious, estimable and creditable defense, being an innocent victim of malicious, unjustifiable, unwarrantable and mischievous machinations, my blood thirsty and cruel persecutors have contrived against me.’
Magistrate: ‘Court recorder, give me another dictionary, court Adjourned.
– murmurs in the Court audience –
How main times is Mpombo going to be sued? Is this the same Mpombo who was sued by SATA when he called him misguided politician and political terrorist?
Believe 3/4 of people who make allegations against others have no evidence. All they might have are suspicions and a bit of the story but no facts. Iam more than certain this could be the same with Mpombo. Its like me making an accusation that the accountant in the Ministry is a thief. I may suspect because of his life styles that are far beyond his salary but as I have no evidence I shouldnt go round telling people the guy stole. These stories should be restricted to the pub. So ba Mpombo you better organise your facts very well. Iam buying an Advanced Learners Collins English dictionary for the day Mpombo will be in the dock!
Senior Kaponya
Yep that’s the one.
@34 Zayelo. You do not address Magistrates as “My Highness”. It is “Your Highness”. You remind me of some cadres reading a speech to the President saying “My excellence The President…”
Didn’t this man (Mpombo) break an oath of secrecy? What was the secret?
Zayelo – it seems Mpombo has already sold you one of his dictionaries to raise money to pay to his magician defence lawyer who does a disappearing act in the middle of a court case – kekekeke!
Ba Mpomba tata, mukose. This case will salvage you or finish you !!
Well, now that James has decided to sue Mpombo has the right and opportunity to subpoena records from relevant Ministries to back up his allegations. Watch them Defence personnel who accompanied him to RSA on orders from RB be forced to tell what they know under oath!
James rightly says he is NOT a civil servant or a govt official, but one wonders why he is always at the center of govt procurement deals—-ain’t that suspicious?
Chiluba sued in similar circumstances, and guess who ended up with a case to answer, Yes, the THIEF, Chiluba! I hope James is clean, otherwise he may just bringing himself some unwanted scrutiny and trouble. Nonetheless, it is his right to sue. I hope he is not trying to use the courts to shut people up because these things have a way of boomeranging.
Who would have thought amongst his fellow kamalashas in ndola rural that Mpombo will be in the political limelight? It is not a mean achievement, if you asked me.
James Gaddiff Banda, my simple advise, you may be proven innocent, but this case of yours has political implications. I guess you never thought through this one. Remember when Chiluba sued the post for being called a ‘Chief’ ..this backfired to the point FTJ lost immunity!!!. In life we need to learn even from other case studies. I guess Mpomo can’t wait to see in court. Remember, he was Defence Min. —interesting.
Chimunya,
Don’t tell me that Wytetson Kabimba is the ‘bearded duiker’s’ lawyer? It can’t get better than that!
People who are saying Mpombo does not have evidence should realise that Mpombo can not reveal secret documents/evidence on TV or radio. But believe you me, records are there to back him up, or contradict what he has alleged. And the court is the right venue for such info to come out.
Mind you, we are talking about military issues here and, by nature, such things are usually classified. Only a Judge can order/subpoena such records to ensure a fair trial. So records will show whether Mpombo indeed travelled to RSA, on what date, with whom, and for what? And Cabinet Ministers cannot just travel outside the country without the knowledge of the President, especially on govt business. So let the evidence come out in court before we starting celebrating the demise of Mr. Mpombo.
Mr Mpombo aka bearded duiker’
The English say ” You get what you ask for….”
And ” If you live in a glass house do not throw stones”
Hope you have enough money for a good lawyer batata…. you have been over carried by your dictionary.
Mupombo in Chewa means hard long role of shit or faeces. No wonder that rogue!
Panafricanist
Don’t let your hatred blind you from the realities on the ground. Comparing Chiluba’s case and the ‘bearded duiker’s’ is like comparing apples to ifinkubala. Don’t you see how financially venerable the kamalasha is, who even in his current case involving government, cannot afford to keep up with a low class lawyer such as Kabimba is, to meet the financial obligations?
It’s stories like this one that have put paid to many a comedian’s career in Zambia. Honestly, attempt a career as a comedian in Zambia at your own peril. We are the most humerous country under the Sun. How does a guy like Mpombo, if the litany of crap he is associated with has any credence, become a Minister of of our gallant Defence? No wonder PF kaponyas believe they have a chance. LT bloggers form a party of your own. No over 50s, please.
Most of you chaps now supporting the duiker will not contribute even a single ngwee when the prosecution team overwhelm him with legal braggadocio he can hardly obtain from his English dictionaries he carries with him about. Worst still if it turns out true that he will be represented by this excuse of a lawyer called Wynter Kabimba who has virtually never won any case in his legal experience. I would rather that you felt sorry for him rather than urge him on to put his head on the chopping board.
The good, the bad and the ugly
Good Buhahahahahahaha it makes it even more hilarious!
The quality of is lawyer shows Mpombo has put him self on the chopping board… i hope his friend Mulongoti is watching….. with his loud mouth… he his next.
now “honourable” mpombo has a chance to prove his allegations. in the meantime, pf cadres may not make any comments on corruption until they deny all the corruption and other vices about mr sata written by his ally fred namakando mmembe in the post newspapers.
The pf will settle his legal bills
Mpombo tries to impress with his ‘big’ vocabularies which are usually out of context. To make matters worse, he commits grammar acrobatics in simple tenses. And it looks like he’s trying to imitate someone. His style is amateurish, to say the least.
Of course by this cheap braggadocio, he manages to impress among the naive and the unschooled, who for what ever big word he pronounces, get a kick out of it.
@ 32. I also see a double edged sword in this case.
The post have given Mpombo’s utterances a false sense of relevance by giving him headline space in their tabloid, when in actual fact, he is simply a convenient excuse for them to attack government.
Mpombo is just a disgruntled fellow who feels he deserved a more prominent position than was given him. Hatred and resentment never won any battle, my advice to him.
balangombe the third,
To quote you colleague on #32 whom you concur with:
‘Mpombo will bring out all the dirty dealings James is associated with and that will compel more…’
What a wishful assumption. How old are you chaps to be in tandem in wrong ideas?
This case can go either way. It is a possibibility and nothing wishful here.
Dont Ask, Dont Tell, Dont Kubeba
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
ati pf will settle his legal bills
I actually feel sorry for Mpombo because, his disgruntlement has blinded him to reality that he is after all a simple, down to earth nonentity that has unfairly been used as a pawn by Mmembe to fight his battles with RB’s government. Now see what will happen to him, all the furthers will be plucked out and everyone will see how uselessly bony he is.
Anyway you look at it, the people of Zambia are overwhelmed by the numerous scandals and serious allegations all aimed at the president. These allegations cannot be ignored or trivialised and the majority of voters including myself will bear all this in mind when marking the ballot paper.
Mpombo is an interesting fellow whose actions and utterances one of my fellow research students has followed closely. My colleague says this court case will be a good chance to know whether some of Mpombo’s insinuations have been baseless or not.
Fili ekotuleya bane…………
I heard that Sata is not being seen because he has to rest after he tried to climb some stairs, does anybody know if this is true?
This is an opportunity for Mpombo to tell the tale in its totality. It is also an opportunity for the Zambian people to know what was being worked out between govt and those arms dealers that Mpombo and army specialists met in South Africa. Mpombo has a chance to call all his witnesses and get the crucial evidence from the documents that are with govt. I hope rupiah does not shred them. Ladies & gentlemen, let the truth be known now!!
#34 and 38, A magistrate is addressed as “Your Worship.” “Your Highness,” “Your Royal Highness,” or “Your Majesty,” are reserved for Kings and Queens and, possibly, Chiefs and Chieftainesses. High Court and Supreme Court Judges are addressed as “My Lord.”
Mpombo ya mpombo, this time you will be fixed!
Mr. Mpombo already admitted that he has no evidence. It is very unlikely he is winning this case. If he has good lawyers, they would advise Mr. Mpombo to settle outside court and issue a retraction on all the allegations he made against Mr. J Banda. If he maintains magician lawyer Mr. Wynter Kabimba who might advise him to go ahead with the case, then he is finished.
# 46 you seem to have good sense of reasoning than most of the above who just want to celebrate as if that Mpombo is already convicted.
Leave the big man alone please he needs to concentrate on how to recontest kafulafuta , and under which party, now dragging him to court over things which you know very well that you got involved, will make him disqualfied because he has court cases. We need him in the next parliament to provide checks and balances, we cant afford to loose him to comment from outside parliament.
Ba mpombo kulandikisha ba mwisho!!!! Mwalamona nomba!! You will end selling all those animals you have boasting about to settle legal charges.
Bringing a case of libel can very badly backfire. A smart lawyer can question Mr Banda on his wealth and how he got it. How much is he worth? How much was he worth before his father became president? Has he tendered for any government contracts, and how many has he won and lost? Has he ever had help from his father in pursuit of business contracts? All such questions are relevant in such a case to establish his business reputation that he claims to have. It can very easily backfire unless he has had no backing from his father!
James had big bussinesses before the father became the president and the father had a lot of assets which he sold one of theh was the Robert Hudson buildind at freedomway northend
In the photo above, is ba Mwisho crying? Was it taken just after he had been issued with the writ? He should have run lubilo like he did when he was fired with tear gas.
#72 You are assuming that James Banda has something to hide. If what you are saying is true then Mpombo will relish the prospect of being vindicated in court. If that is the case, then the oft used phrase by pf kaponyas of the courts being compromised will be seen as being a phantom of their imaginations.
No, I am not making such an assumption. look at my last statement. The point is that all those questions can be asked and he would have to answer them. If his wealth has increased substantially after his father became president, the the court of public opinion can reach a different conclusion from the legal courts; just pointing out why caution is advised in such cases.
He said he is neither a civil servant nor a politician but the President’s son.
He is RBanda’s son capwa. President is his father’s office since LPM’s demise. Unless you tell me that James was born at State House, was he?
The issue of arms deal is crucial in the forth coming election. May the wisdom of judiciary decide.
#70 you want mpombo back in parliament? you want a leader with a case of forged receipts? Let us be serious. This Mpombo needs to clear is cases b4 he can contest elections. He needs to prove his allegations on the arms deal. He also needs to prove his innocence on forged receipts. He has been talking about corruption of mmd govt, but he spends K18 million on a short tour, what a contradiction. Let us be objective in what we say or do. our support for people or condemnation must not be driven by hatred….but objectivity.
Mpombo broke a secrecy oath, what was it? It was in the paper sometime back.
And the tabloid that run his headlines have not said anything on this issue. If Mpombo has sense , he should see they are now beginning to dump him. He is now useless after they have used him, Kabimba did not even bother to under his other trial.
Yazanda bracadaccio,thats the price you pay when you have diarrhea of the mouth,own up.
Where is Mashota to analyse this story?
@62, as you correctly put it there are numerous “allegations” (not facts) aimed at the president, all made up by those who are injured that they themselves are not in state house (and will never be). sensible zambians will bear these facts in mind when they mark the ballot paper, as they did in 2008. fortunately, sensible zambians are in the majority. i would have renounced my citizenship a long time ago if i thought that the majority of zambians are goons who will not notice that the real corruption is by those who want to steal their votes through the 90 days deception.
and don’t forget that mr sata still has $20,000 with rsa revenue authorities. up to now he has not claimed it for fear of exposing the source. so what was the source of his money? was it arms deal, corruption, bribery, and other things that i cannot mention to save him some legal fees? i mean if someone cannot claim his ‘hard earned” cool $20,000, surely there must be something fishy, very fishy about it? not to forget that he badly needs this money for campaigns?
James the best thing you should have done was to keep quite Mpombo did not say the deal went through check your facts and don’t sue me
Mpombo is used to courts but tacipela umucinshi to be dragged to court time and again. lets have fun as we listen to them bombastic words as Mpombo cross-examines that businessman
If James and his Dad wanted to corn us, then we will be tough on them, but if Mpombo wants to turnish the image of Government by lying, then let the gets of hell open up for him. No mercy should be shown at all, Mpombo has had a field day for too long.
lelo ka gelo ka bonse ka Mushota takalelandapo pali ba Mpombo…..guys guys….the law will tell us the truth about the arms deal….there is no smoke without fire….Mpombo teshilu ilyakulalandalanda….something happened for real….
Ba analyst….Mpombo lishilu…all you need is listen to his language. What signs do you want to see that somebody is off the rail? When he takes off his clothes in the court yard?
He he he heee! Pombo !!! Indeed you are a baboon. That why a monkey charged at him in Livingstone, it saw a competitor. We are sending another monkey for you George, you have such a big mouth. POMBO IWE!!!!!!
Ohhh…it was Mpombo in the monkey incident in Livingstone! Oh bane, this man is something else. Ayo ma arms balelandapo ba Mpombo, kuti mwasanga ati ‘malegeni’ fye. Mpombo is a real nut!
not as nut as u!
Chances are the Bandas will be bruised. Mpombo will pull no stops as far as this case is concerned to prove his case. As many people have already pointed out this case could boomerang on James. Mpombo’s lawyers’ questions will also make James dance to the music. This case will enable Zambians to know the truth and help them to decide on who to vote for.
#90 Which lawyer are you talking about? The one who did a pf abracadabra magic disappearing act when he was supposed to be defending his client the bearded duiker just the other day?
This case will be excitng…Banda Junor will have to produce his companies income statements, balance sheets, Asset register etc, just prove his credibity… Potentially, we may see a plunder tree…like others are saying this could be self inflicted political wounds for the Lupiya Money Bandas. In any case Mpombo is still innocent until proven otherwise…
Mpombo might not have evidence on the James Banda involvement, remember James called Mpombo to see how things were moving with regards to the deal. What was his involvement for him to call on Military procurements? If they ask Mpombo about the trips, simple, there is that word called SUBPOENA, a writ commanding a person designated in it to appear or bring forward the documents to court under a penalty for failure. He can subpoena these documents from the MoD. The tickets and hotel bookings and meetings in SA cannot be classified documents, unless the courts, which we know are problematic of late decided to play politics as they usually do. The phone company will prove this chap JB as a conman who made the call on the said day to inquire about the deal.
All of you condemning Mpombo from comments on this blog are so scared of nothing that you most likely spend most of your lives running away from your own shadows. You would not have the ‘prophetic balls’ to tell of Rbishs’ thieving clique like Mpombo did! Mpombo was actually wishing for this, so that he can allow the whole dirty sordid failed deal unveiled. James Banda may be intelligent, but he is definately not Mr. Clean, as was established during the RP Capital saga and he had his father oblige him this ‘once in a lifetime mega bucks deal’! James was the main MAN in the contracting of RP CAPITAL to reevaluate ZAMTEL for the purpose of disposing off most of the public shares to a foreign governments ownership, i.e. LAPGREEN! Mpombo should have the SA officials they meet summoned!
#94 We shall see what happens. To me if the courts actually prove that Mpombo is right then it is a good thing for Zambia on two fronts – if indeed James and his father are corrupt then we shall definitely know about it instead of basing our opinions on rumours and innuendos and perhaps more importantly it will put pay to the notion that the Zambian judiciary is corrupt. So as far as am concerned, the ordinary people of Zambia are in a win-win situation.
Let the Pandora’s box break now, lekeni lunye lwkwa Noah bebele.
James is not and has never been a small boy. He has had big bucks from way back. These are the boys who used to hang out with premiership footballers such as John Fashanu. In fact John Fashanu came to Zambia to visit them. Its not easy to mix with such people who earn over 50k pounds a week if you are a pauper. Attack RB, he is the politician and leave James out of it. He is and has always been a businessman.
I hope the judge won’t be that corrupt Philip Musonda! Good luck Mpombo.
This is not headline news in the Post?
@93 ba kalos2121 as usual, so what exactly is your point this time? obviously to reason like that, you must have the 90 days kind of logic.
#100, why are you asking me? Ask James Banda why he called Mpombo to ask how the deal for the arms deal was going. Probably you can answer for him, why did he call the Minister about the arms deal? In what capacity and on whose behalf did he do that? What interest does/did he have to know when the MoD is going to seal the deal?
Mpombo knows what he is talking about, he has just revealed more of how James joined a government delegation on an oil trip deal to SA when he was not civil servant. Mpombo has also revealed that the president pressed on him to ”thandizani mwana wanu James”. Let the court case begin and we shall see who will be disgraced and exposed at the end. We are anxiously waiting.
Zambia is a very good and peaceful country, where people can say what ever rubbish they think of without the State security wings reacting. What has gone wrong with the RED BRICK. Let’s not allow this atmosphere to prevail. Politicians should have a limit on state issues…
How can a thief sue a thief. This is where Human rights have compromised humanity. I hate Human right. These were simply made to protect the elite and those in power. All these guys should be sentenced to death by poisoning them with gas, the world will be a better place. Hold on a minute, put me in power and I will do the same, if not twice as much damage!
Kalos2121 Are your questions in 102 directed at 101 or you are sure it is 100?
Adviser # 106, Actually LT as usual moved postings. It really is directed at pf government now on 101.
