Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (MMD) Presidential hopeful, Nevers Mumba is suing the state over allegations that he has misappropriated funds at the High commission in Canada.
Dr Mumba, who returned yesterday from Canada where he was Zambia’s High Commissioner, said that he has instructed his lawyers to commence legal proceedings for defamation.
He said that he will also sue for illegal detention at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport, where he was briefly detained yesterday upon arrival.
Nevers Mumba, recalled Zambia’s High Commissioner to Canada was yesterday morning briefly detained by authorities at the Kenneth Kaunda International Airport upon arrival causing panic among sympathizers who went to welcome him.
When he was finally released, Dr. Mumba asked Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (MMD) members to remain resolute in rekindling prospects for the party to bounce back.
Dr. Mumba, who is a front runner for the MMD presidency, was optimistic that party members will remain focused and determined now that they are in the opposition.
Addressing cadres, a jovial looking Dr. Mumba said his party desires a Zambia that is tolerate and free of intimidation of its citizens.
He stressed the need for the party to organize itself ahead of prospective elections.
Recently president, Sata expressed concerned on information of alleged financial impropriety at the Zambian mission in Canada.
The president had hoped that Dr Mumba’s impending visit to Zambia will provide law enforcement agencies an opportunity to engage him on the financial matters at the mission.
MUVI TV
Let him sue; who does he think he is????
He is a Zambian citizen who should enjoy all the rights that accrue to him. This nonsense of state intimidation should not be allowed to take root in Zambia. Sata is a mistake that Zambians should quickly rectify.
Many more to come. The PF arrogance is a danger to Zambia.
ALL THE BEST IN YOUR IN YOUR RUN UP. SATA USED TO SUE THE GOVT AND HE ENDED UP PRESIDENT. WHAT A NICE ATTITUDE ADOPTION!
Who is not who! TWhen you are born, next is death. PF is in govt, next is leaving…. The question is when. You who are making noise will put your tails between your legs when that day will come. Sata and a few, even his children will face the people. So help him govern properly to make him happy in his very old age, as he will one day leave State House.
This is what is termed as knowing your human rights and utilising them. Not to be intimidated by ‘gonga’ leaders.
Soldier on Nevers and never surrender.
INE NI PALI BA MUMBA!!!! GO MMD
#1 Yes let him sue as it is his right as a Zambian citizen, just like Chilufya did when he was in opposition. Just because Chilufya is the president does not mean he can be making unsubstantiated allegations against any Zambian citizen. We will not let Chilufya turn Zambia into a dictatorship.
Please teach this uneducated Sata a lesson. I had so much faith in him but he is dividing the country due to his tribalistic and nepotolistc approach. Please Mumba save zambia!
8-|Text book knowledge mwana will take nowhere. Do u know that Bill Gates is a college drop-out? Not to mention Steve Jobs – MHRIP
hahaha…wat a joke, don,t sue thhe state sue the president but mind u the president of every sovereign state has presidential immunity… come use your head…
I regret voting for sata.many more are yet to sue.viva nevers.viva mmd.am returning to my vomit.
So far in less than 90 days Chilufya has two court cases – Buzaianu and now Mumba. Lets hope there will be a bumper harvest next year as we will definitely need the viwaya to chew on as the drama unfolds.
bomba ni boma by the time they are finished with you, pastor you will wish you had stayed with your church instead of being greedy and joining politics
The person to sue for money mismanagement at the foreighn missions is the auditor general, because it is not just in Canada, but many other missions also. And the detantion at the airport was just lawfull because Nevers resisted to come back when he was called back.Can he tell us that if Sata decided that he should continue at the embassy he could still have sued the goverment since the auditor general had audited before the president saud it? I am afraid Mr. Mumba you will lose even the little you could have remained with through your iers you call lawyers.
Nevers if you have come with a lot of money, please give it to the vulnerables than spending it to the so called Lawyers who are just liers. I am sure you will regrete by the end of your case. You have forgoten that the wheel of justice turns very slow and you can;t make it turn faster. I wish you could have just bought a house instead of again renting and the ownners evicting you as it was before you went to Canada.
Nevers Mumba I thought you wre supposed to pray for Sata and his govt rather than sue them. Or Am I getting you correctly that you have now changed to eye-for-an-eye?? Awe, I’m not condemning, I’m just amazed! Meanwhile, perfect timing for your publicity as you fight for MMD presidency, which I’m sure is what you are worried about more than anything and may be the reason you are suing the Cobra. But you still are not presidential material, based on your recent record, sir.
Please sue may be it’ll teach the big mouth Pres to shut it.
Mumba will probably be first to get the slice of K200.0 billion set aside for compensation and awards for payment of litigation cases ruled against the Government.
Please set a precedence so Government can be more careful next time.
I’d love to see MMD sue for defamation on ‘fake money’.
FOREWARNING IS FOREARMING
Say bye-bye to reversal politics of doom. Zambia we forewarned you that insanity, protruding ignorance and illiteracy are not attributes for executive national leadership. Are you ready to join us in tearing the walls of insanity and a historic circus? You want us to give this circus more time? If you are patriots who realize that the future of this nation is squarely on your shoulders, get ready for a journey of emancipation.

Say bye-bye to reversal politics of doom. Zambia we forewarned you that insanity, protruding ignorance and illiteracy are not attributes for executive national leadership. For the love of Zambia its time to start tearing down the walls of insanity and a historic circus? You want us to give this circus more time? If you are patriots who realize that the future of this nation is squarely on your shoulders, get ready for a journey of emancipation.

Every Zambian has moral and constitutional duty to stand-up in purging the serpent of its tyrannical Utopia. When we vividly see it in vanity belaboring to asphyxiate our hard won democracy in quest of legitimacy, its time to take it head on and show it that power belongs to the people.
NEVERS MUMBA FOR MMD PRESIDENCY, MY FOOT THIS PRIEST SHOULD STAY WITH HIS CHURCH AND BIBLE. HE IS NOT A POLITICAL MATERIEL.JUST WANTS TO TAKE CHANCE TO MAKE FAST BUCKS.
This disgrace of accommodating insanity clowns and the ignoble should be done away with at once. Self seeking heroism at command, senseless brutality, intimidation, hollow accusations, nepotism, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently we hate all this, how despicable and ignoble they are; We would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is our conviction as fearless patriots and democrats that belaboring to asphyxiate our hard won democracy under the cloak of a circus is nothing but an act of unpardonable crime against virtues of democracy. People will resist this insanity.
Mumba noise maker.
there was no need( evidence or without) for the president to involve himself in trivial issues any criminal or wrong doing it the duty of law enforcement agents. JOB DESCRIPTION SIR. WE KNOW IT UR COUNTRY BUT JST CHILL A MINUTE.
I suspect that Nevers Mumba is a nephew of Alice Mulenga Lenshina, a famous Zambian Prophetess and founder of the Lumpa Church. Nevers has the same qualities of misleading people. Soon his followers will start drinking urine to evade arrest……just like Lumpa sect members of Chinsali. Watch this space..
no 1o you are a foolish fool just like Nevers who abandoned the Bible for money Lesa mukulu akakukanda.infact they just wasted time searching yr bags,u croocks know how to take care .of money,they think you are foolish enough to carry huge somes of money in your bags, viva nos.12,13.14,15. 20 and24.
Patriotic front (PF) Wynter Kabimba have endorsed the candidature of incumbent Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe for next years elections?
Zambians can not believe this SCANDAL and DOUBLE STANDARDS unfolding now from PF!
You Sata and YOUR entire PF leadership that PEDDLED lies and CRITICIZED former President Banda and MMD that Zimbabwean Police were in Zambia to monitor the September 2011 elections?
Does the POST & Mmembe supports this double standard? Is The POST’S Editor Mmembe a Roman Catholic trained Jesuit and that is why he supports Sata?
Go Go Bishop Chihana! I never supported you but now i do support you
Go Go Pastor Nevers Mumba i never supported you nor MMD but now i do because am very much DISAPPOINTED with Sata, Kabimba and The Post’s Editor Mmembe double standards and LIES!
The Lord God is on your side do not relent nor give up! The Wall of Jericho and Sata’s PF is cracking and falling now
I now understand why Freddie Mmembe came back in the 1990’s because he is a Roman Catholic trained Jesuit who came to unfairly criticize Chiluba because he was a Born Again Christian.
Sata has done more SCANDALS and CORRUPT appointments but The Post is so silent on all these they are even TWISTING reporting especially in North Western Province.
Twisting of reporting wont work nor intimidation of political opponents like Nevers Mumba nor Bishop Chihana.
God bless Zambia!
you guys wasted time searching mumba.s bags,you think he is foolish enough to carry huge sums of money in bags/ this fugitive who ran away from the Bible world to the money world.may the Almighty be the only judge.
26 chikayeba,
You MORON CHIMPANZEE!
Did you know that wanted to be a Roman Catholic Priest and ran away from Priesthood since he did not became a priest!
Nevers Mumba being a pastor does not preclude him from becoming a politician leader he is got the right!
26 chikayeba,
You MORON CHIMPANZEE!
Did you know that President SATA wanted to be a Roman Catholic Priest and ran away from Priesthood to the money world since he did not became a priest! Do not condemn Mumba when Sata is in the same boot!
Nevers Mumba being a pastor does not preclude him from becoming a politician leader he is got the right!
#24 The Kimbanguist,
Evil Roman Catholic Organisation members like PEDDLING lies and RUMORS like you are doing now!
Your Evil Pope of Vatican recently VISITED Benin in West Africa and declared support for VOODOO (African Traditional Witchcraft) and all other traditions for members of Roman Catholic Organisation in West Africa!
In essence currently your Vatican Pope and the Roman Catholic Organisation Bishops can even support Alice Lenshina’s African Beliefs. Unless you are IGNORANT of your Roman Catholic Organisation Beliefs and CURRENT Policies being allowed in Africa.
Why are you attributing these LIES and RUMORS to an INNOCENT person like Nevers Mumba, who does not even believe in Lenshina’s beliefs like your Roman CATHOLIC Bishops?
What a shame!
Do not touch the anointed………………………………..
the catholic church and HE MCS give you sleepless nites just driver that truck…and practice what you preach
#11 ‘So far in less than 90 days Chilufya has two court cases – Buzaianu and now Mumba’ WAIT, ANGOLA IS ALSO DRAFTING A CHARGE FOR SATA’S FUNDING OF SAVIMBI. REMEMBER, THEY HAVE NOT ACCEPTED THE APOLOGY. WE ARE IN TROUBLE
Hon Pastor take this cobra’ s government head on. We know that the cobra is too overwhelmed with what has happened and power has already got to his head. Now he wants to persecute anyone opposed to his jungle rule.
NEVERS , THIS IS RUBBISH'””””””””””””””””””””””””””””
The Question is what is the purpose of suing?Is it to clear one’s name or to cash in?We will wait to see real Leadership.If it is about cashing in then Mr.Mumba you are a disgrace to the Nation,Zambia is broke the national treasury is empty the Country is dependent on foreign Aid (These are short and long term loans). The Country is broke because it lacks leadership to utilize the human and natural resources in the last 47 yrs.Mr.Sata has been in leadership in the last 2 months let us not quickly judge him let us give him 5 yrs and see what direction he takes this great Country,Remember it has taken many years of lack of leadership in many areas of society for the Country to be where it is.
Guys how do you include a picture to your blog post?? Like Mushota and Senior citizen above?
Some comments are not fair,don’t just comment for the sake of commenting follow the issue at hand.Its the duty of the security at the airport to detain and search someone from abroad.To hell with your pastor! Viva H.E.
Nevers and HH can indeed fight dictatorship. HH u must too sue this reckless man 4slandering. We need Nevers and HH to fight dictatorship.
You have just come and you think you are clever. Take it easy Nevers, people are crying foul here.
it seems Sata is inviting so many lawsuits within his 90days as president.Gee how many will there be in 5 years.Lord help us.Doctors please treat our president from the Presidential shock he is suffering from and people we really need to pray for the man some of you put into state house.We can’t continue being led like this.Zambia is our country.
Wait for the govt to finish they are investigations then decided which route to take. Detaining you at the airport is a normal rountine anywhere in the world unless you were brutally abused.
Mind you ,do not associate with the bad guys of the former regime you will regret. Best thing you can as at now is to make sure that your name is not dented with the so called finacial mis management at the embassy you were in canada. Taking the govt to court should be the last thing you can do as at now.
tally – ho
For those folks exicited about Nevers being MMD leader forget it.. MMD will not allow another impositor like RB to be in charge… MMD NEC have made it clear that it is not devoid of ‘capable leaders’…OK Nevers has some suport from MMD esp youth who are not part of the NEC and dont have voting power…As for him suing state, this may come to bite him… Sata talks alot and he is reading from confidential files from Canada… This is good for PF so they can drain Nevers thru legal fees
There is no law that bars Nevers Mumba from doing what he is doing, He can sue if he feels he is being abused, and he can join politics like he has done, it’s his democratic right which every Zambian is entitled to. It’s not for us to judge him.
Sir,don’t forget that u’re a corrupted leader.Mumba,shut your beak,u thief.U have finished your brown envelope that u got in 2008.We forgive,but we don’t forget.Staying in canada that can’t change your corrupted minds.U are nothing but a thief & God will punish u.U were a God fearing man but now satan is your master.Tatubwelela kumalushi twaluka fye bena zambia.
forgive your friend 70×70. this is what a man of God should follow but if you are not then you can slap back like what mumbwa is doing.
I grew up watching ‘Zambia Shall be Saved’ by Pastor Nevers Mumba. The only way you can save Zambia tata is by coming back to your first love which is God. Find yourself one of those mega churches and preach to the masses. Amen.
I’m tired of these Zambian politics and i don’t care who does what to who or f’s what. I have never like that girl Mushota but i think it’s time some pipo in Zambia get a life. Zambia is just a sick country of pipo chasing each others a$$ for nothing and making alot of noise. Who cares if this fooool Nevers fake church guy sues the govnt? Pipo get a life and make cash to support your pockets and families than following these monkey a$$ politicians every second. I never liked RB and his MMD and will start disliking Sata with his PF if they start acting like foools. VIVA SATA AND PF!!!
@Yellowman: mushota is a man educated from lusaka international school. he’s nicknamed african boy george and he enjoys that.
Well articulated #18,#44.
My advice to Pastor Mumba is to seriously seek the face of God seriously on these issues.Don’t reduce yourself to the level of PF standards.The bible says in Romans 12;19,Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.
Heb 10;30-For we know him that has said, Vengeance belongs unto me, I will recompense, says the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
Dear Pastor concentrate on speaking the truth om the pulpit.The days of (ZANU)-PF are numbered.Their deceit ,lies and double standards will be their down fall.
He will not wn. can put my house on it.
youre going to lose your house then..hes winning.
There was no outrageous public outburst from Chilufya yesterday, am I right in thinking he must be laid up in bed with his kamutima kodwaladwala? Maybe what we need to do is increase his dosage of sedatives to prevent him from making outbursts that can embarrass us as a nation or put our economy in danger.
Both Mumba and Sata are dull. I don’t even understand all this moise here. This is a case of one genetically modified dull president beijng sued by another genetically modified dull presidential candidate in a dying party. Is that a topic worth wasting time on?
@ 35 & 37. Go to school. MMD govt. left surplus money in govt coffers. Security at airports don’t detain people from abroad and its not an offence to come from abroad. Mumba had a diplomatic status at time of detaintion and has rights as a free citizen of Zambia to sue govt where his rights have been infringed. It amazes one how low thinking some PF supportes and sympathisers can be with the happenings in the country. Mr Sata is sick can hardly travel by air for more than 2 hrs, meaning he may not go far and take the pressure on him. Advise him in Bemba.
Sata asanikalifye ine, nalema naye!
fake pastor,why can’t you pray to god than suing the government,you seem to have forgoten your calling!!!
Chinsali can produce real comedians and sober people. Have you heard about Col.Nkoloso, Hon. Mwansa Kapwepwe, Lenshina, Kangwa Nsuluka, Chanda Nsema, Nkandu Luo and now Nevers Mumba- HUMOUR HOUSE OF HORROR
Search all of them.Let them not pretend to be holy.Auditor General is still reviewing misappropriations.Some of them were shuttereddown by Rubish Binding Bin.
We will have a line of them being reviewed next year.
The village is on fire
Read Nevers Mumba CV

After what has been spewing out from State House so far (fake notes, etc), I no longer believe any allegation from there. However, I want to advise MMD that the party cannot unite around Nevers, it will split right in the middle. Kabinga Pande and Dr Musokotwane are your best bets for party president if you are serious about getting back to power. Please do us this one favour, otherwise the country is condemned to the current occupants of plot one.
Zambian politics are full of comedy…MMD has never been a serious party. When did Dr. Mumba abandon his small party and be MMD thing?
Zambia shall nevers be saved.
Let the chancer sue,he embezzled funds and he wants people to feel sorry for him.all of you zambians on Nevers`s side are docile/do you also live on croocked ways?
pastor just go back to church
Regarding Nevers Mumba, why is he suddenly behaving like he is a senior member of the mmd party, when in fact this guy from the beginning everybody knows how desparate for power he can be, he started by being a television evangelist, then formed a party as president, when his party did not work out, he suddenly pledged his humblest support for Mwanawasa who gave him a job as vp, and then he probably was fired or whatever and he walked away with his tail in between his legs. then opportunity availed it self when Ba Levy died and he run back to RB, pledged allegiance and RB gave him a job (he must have breathed a sigh of relief..$ $ at last).. and now that mmd is out – folks watch Pastor Mumba, before we know it he will be dining with the PF.all PF cadres will be o/taken by this gold digger
Zambia chose Sata for President. that is a mistake we will live to regret
Those people who are close to Pastor Nevers Mumba should advise him to repair his dented image.He is ‘damaged goods’. I was hoping that since he is was a Pastor he would bring sanity into MMD. He has the right to sue. Let Nchito also sue him on our behalf for the ‘Mayenge’ cash. The pastor’s lack of sense of shame amazes me. Please all you Presidental wanna be s HH, XPastor Mumba just got over it President Sata did not steal the election Zambians chose him. And we knew him
