MMD leader Nevers Mumba has been granted a 30,000 ZMW bail by the Lusaka Magistrate Court.

Dr Mumba had earlier pleaded not guilty to all four charges slapped on him regarding some of his activities during his time as Ambassador to Canada.

Chief Resident Magistrate Joshua Banda granted Dr Mumba bail with two working sureities despite strong objection by the state.

The state raised objections to Dr Mumba’s bail application on account that it could prejudice the case aganist the state.

The state prosecutions team further argued that Dr Mumba could be interfere with witnesses if granted bail.

But Defence lawyers Sunday Nkonde and Sakwiba Sikota led an onslaught on the state’s grounds for objecting to the bail application saying Dr Mumba met all bail conditions.

Magistrate Banda however granted Dr Mumba bail and set January 31 2013 as date for ruling over an application by his lawyers to raise some preliminary issues.

Trial dates will be set on January 31 2013.

By mid day, Dr Mumba and his team were still working on the paper work for his release.MMD cadres flocked to the Magistrate Court to offer solidarity.

  1. Though I walk through the valley of death I will fear no evil, for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

    • There are three this which will destroy a nation if not taken care of, prejudice, religious denominationalism, and Politics. A man of God should always flee from these. II Timothy 4 (KJV)
      1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
      2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
      3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
      4 And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
      5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy…

    • Watch Man What of the Night?And he answered the night cometh but also the day?Nevers Mumba it might be night for you today but the day cometh as well says Dumah.Those that are with you are many than those with your prosecutors.

  2. Ba Mumba please concentrate on telling the people of zambia what you will do for them if elected president! Attacking Sata will only finish you! Mind you, becouse of the way you abandoned your church and your followers, you have little support on the ground. Many people feel cheated by you and do not trust you an more! Avoid politics of confrantation and stay free!!!!!!!

    • Are one of the Roman Catholic Organisation members who can not see that Sata has brought satamism in Zambia just like Kenneth Kaunda brought satanism in Zambia from East ASIA?

      Can’t you see that Zambians are being killed by satanists?

      You are a cockroach

    • Sata is an evil Tin Pot illiterate dictator who can not be reformed no matter what? Not even the devil can change Sata?

      Kaunda is active now because his dream of Heaven on Earth has been realised through his mate Sata?

    • MUNENE,TELL SATA TO ALLOW NEVERS TO HOLD RALLIES SO THAT HE CAN TELL THE PIPO THE PROGRAMME HE HAS FOR ZAMBIA.ALLOW THE MAN… THE WAY SATA WAS ALLOWED TO HOLD RALLIES.BUT THE TRUTH IS SATA FEARS THE MAN OF GOD.HE WHO IS DWELLING IN NEVERS IS STRONGER THAN THE DEMON IN SATA.THE BATTLE IS THE LORDS…..

    • JOHN,,, WHO HAS NOT FORFILLED THE PROMISES , PROMISED TO THE ZAMBIAN PIPO, IF IT’S NOT SATA???THE BIBLE SAYS IF YOU LIE,YOU BELONG TO YOUR FATHER THE DEVIL…..AS CHRISTIANS WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT OUR PRESIDO IS FOR THE DEVIL AND WE’VE TAKEN THIS ARGUMENT TO THE ONE ON THE THRONE TO TAKE OVER THIS SITUATION.FOR THE BATTLE IS THE LORDS…..

    • Henry you are simply a coward.
      You cannot be anyone’s political advisor, not even to yourself.
      You want Dr. Mumba to stop confronting Sata for all his wrongs in fear of harassment?
      Cowards never win.

    • Don’t mix God and Politics. He is not the author of confusion. If Mr. Mumba was a real Pastor he should have never found himself in politics. One thing that politians have in common is that they are all liars.

  3. well justice fare and square is just as good as justice for all and sundry. This smallness of a politician his inexperience notwithstanding, deserves a fare trial.

  4. THE BLOOD OF THE SON OF MAN WAS NOT SHEDED IN VAIN.THAT BLOOD OF JESUS IS STILL SPEAKING AGANIST INJUSTICE.IT IS BREAKING ALL THE FORCES OF DARKNESS STANDING AGANIST THE CHRISTIAN NATION SO THAT IT CAN NOT BECOME A SATANIC NATION.THE BATTLE IS THE LORDS……..

    • Imwe bane do not use the blood of Jesus in vain especially with the case of Nevers Mumba – do proper discernment and see the forces at work in Pastor Mumba – Have you ever heard Pastor Mumba mentioning the blood of Jesus since he became mmd president?

  5. The charges against Mumba are certainly very serious. Abuse of Office is a serious offence under the ACC Act and the earlier Mumba realises that its curtain closed for him the better. Putting Government funds in a personal account is a non starter, not to mention flouting procurement procedure under the ZPPA Act. So whichever the padre looks at it, he is out of the game called politics.

    • One is innocent until proven guilt, those cases against Dr Mumba have to be proven beyond reasonable doubt. Dr Mumba God is your shield. Lets not conclude.

    • There are about 35 Zambian missions abroad. Out of all those we are being requested to believe that abuses of office only occured in Canada. Further, Nevers has been arrested for talking to Chief Nkana without a permit and we are being asked to belive that this is a fair application of the Public Order Act. Beyond that, every notificatio that Dr. Mumba has submitted to the police for a rally has been refused and we are still expected to believe that this is a fair application of the POA. I have always believed in the sense of justice of the Zambian people and one day even you Prof will see injustice even though you can not see it now.

  6. Here we go Zambia! Where are the EVIL ROMAN CATHOLIC Organisation Priests like Bishop Banda, father Bwalya & Zambia Episcopal Conference spokesman father Paul Samasumo? These child molesters and animal cruel stranglers, were very vocal when MMD declared Zambia as a Christian nation and father Bwalya strangled innocent chickens with the support of the Roman Catholic organization

    Now there member the illiterate evil Dictator Sata is strangling democracy in Zambia and abusing Nevers Mumba just because he present a formidable opposition to Sata and PF. Sata is panicking & is persecution MMD President Nevers Mumba from Center, Left and Right by using the Police and his PF Task Force to persecute him!

    Why can’t the Roman Catholic Organisation priests speak out when Sata is abusing…

    • Shaka oz u re a fool what does catholics done to you you anti- catholic tell your mumba to tell us his develomental plains than going to cells every time & then this is 2013 change you will find your wife or girlfriend been taken away while you are at the police station with mumba.

    • The Catholic Church has already spoken, time and again, both as an organisation and as part of the Oasis Forum. It will always when necessary raise its prophetic voice. The Catholic Church does not control Fr Frank Bwalya. He is now part of the PF and you can attack him as such without bringing the whole Church into Fr Bwalya’s politics. The Catholic church has members belonging to every Political Party in Zambia. It is non partisan. It even had one of its priests deported by the Pf government.

  7. #3 henry munene

    Are one of the Roman Catholic Organisation members who can not see that Sata has brought satamism in Zambia just like Kenneth Kaunda brought satanism in Zambia from East ASIA?

    Can’t you see that Zambians are being killed by satanists?

    You are a cockroach

  8. Myopia is what got us today’s leadership. lets not allow history to repeat itself by voting via myopia again which if you ask me is based on a very skewed mindset that once an opposition leader has been persercuted, imprisoned then he is ripe to ascend to presidency. If this were true, Mushala would’ve been leader of Zambia.

  9. It is a shame that the evil Roman Catholic Organisation child molesters Priests can not see the evils of the Illiterate Dictator Sata who is abusing human rights in Zambia.

    This is not the first time the evil Roman Catholic Organisation child molesters Priests are keeping quiet over human rights abuses by dictators like Sata. The Roman Catholic Organisation child molesters Priests kept quiet when innocent Tutsis were being killed in Rwanda and when Jews were killed in Germany by the evil man Hitler.

    Its time the Roman Catholic Organisation child molesters Priests stop playing their double standards in Zambia!

    A long time ago the Roman Catholic Organisation used to use their Jesuit trained men in evil schemes.

    • WELL SAID SHAKA…..THE BIBLE SAYS YOU SHALL KNOW THEM BY THE WORKS…..SO WE KNOW WERE THEY BELONG.SHAKA IF GOD BE FOR US,WHO CAN BE AGANIST US?????

    • As much as I do not support the Cathoric Church, however your rants are just as useless as your thoughts man. Why going round like a headless chicken ranting catholic here , catholic this….. be masure and wise…shaaaa.

    • If you think Catholics are bad people why should they do anything about it???? Other christians in Zambia have done bad things, no one said anything about it. Please lets talk about the problem at hand and give proper resolutions that will end the problem. pointing fingers wont take you anywhere

    • TRUTH HATES,DURING MMD RULE,CATHOLIC’S VOICE WAS OFTEN HEARD WHEN THE WAS ANY WRONG DOINGS.BUT THIS TIME AROUND IT’S DIFFERENT.YOU CAN NEVER HEAR THEIR VOICE AGAIN.WHY???THEY HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE PIPO.

    • Shakas, please know that Nevers Mumba does not share your views about the Catholic Church. Kindly refrrain from bringing Nevers’ name inyour Anti-Catholic rantings

  10. Nevers is now made popular and winning sympathy votes from the masses. I like his courage, speaking boldly without being intimidated like a real man of God. God bless you Nevers and may he keep you strong in these very trying moments.

  11. THE ONE WHO STOLE AND BURRIED MONEY AT HIS FARM IS JUST AS WICKED AS THE NONE WHO STOLE MONEY WHILE IN FOREIGN SERVICE. MUMBA MISAPPROPRIATED FUNDS WHILE IN FOREIGN SERVICE. NO PERSECUTION HERE. IF IT WAS YOU AND ME, BY NOW WE COULD HAVE BEEN LANGUISHING IN CHIMBOKAILA. SO LET THE DUE PROCESS OF THE LAW TAKE ITS COURSE. PERIOD.

    • ASK THE ACC TO FOLLOW UP CHIKWANDA IF HE DIDN T OBTAIN THE CONTRUCT TO RENNOVET STATE HOUSE IN A CORRUPT WAY,THE OIL SCAM KABIMBA IS INVOLVED IN,ZESCO DEAL GBM INVOLVED IN.MMBEMBE AND NCHITO DBZ LOAN……CHISENGA,DO YOU WANT ME TO CONTINUE????THE BATTLE IS THE LORDS

    • Charged by the ones who have sent there mental retarded child to Japan in foreign missions? What justice! Chiwamila galu.

    • Have you seen the charges they have against Nevers Mumba? After 12 months, all they can come up with is “not following procedure when getting a deck fixed” etc. If you cannot see beyond that then I don’t know.

      Winter ia accused of taking a bribe from Trafigura and yet you let him intimidate the ACC staff (ACC fail to interview Kabimba). Do you want Zambia to be a banana republic? Muchinje!

  12. Judgement day will be interesting. Good thing God won’t need our help to come to decisions 🙂 If there is a hell I don’t plan to be in it but I kinda think it might be crowded with familiar faces from around the globe…many of them blessed to have been leaders or devout christians but fallible humans nonetheless. Strategic block by knight leaves bishop exposed to queen and pawns defend the king from check mate. Cliff hanger. Will lady justice tip the scale and toss all the players off the board? Dah dah dah…

  13. Namugala’s advice to Mumba that he should go into exile, preferably Rwanda, was best. Its just too much abuse on him by drunkard Lungu.

  14. PF PRESIDENT AND MPs REMEMBER THAT YOU WILL NOT BE IN POWER FOREVER, WHAT EVER YOU ARE DOING TO NEVERS, THE SAME TASK FORCE WILL ALSO DO IT TO YOU.

  15. How come his wife is never seen in public to show solidarity and why should other people’s wives be more supportive and sympathetic than Mrs Mumba? Have they divorced or is she a ‘Mwenye’ like HH’s Mutinta?

  16. Let there be no sacred lamb. If Mumba stole while in Canada, let the court of law determine that. If he is innocent , let also the court of law determine.

    Peace and Prosperity to Mother Zambia.

  17. This little Tin Pot illiterate Dictator Sata means that the only time the security wing in Zambia can and will play a proactive role in fighting corruption is to undermine, persecute, stalk and arrest opposition leaders in Zambia.

    So that they wont be challenging this evil man called Sata!

    I miss Mwamba Luchembe who saved Zambians by doing what he did in 1990 despite Kaunda’s use of the best intelligence in Africa (Special Branch).
    Kaunda wetted his trousers at the Ndola Trade Fair Grounds when he misquoted Bible verses because of the great man Luchembe.

    Grey Zulu was recovering from the shock in Lusaka.

    Zambians are looking for another Mwamba Luchemba to save us from this Tin Pot Dictator called Sata! He is a manic!

    What a wasted time and life of voting this mbwa

    • WAIT AND SEE WHAT THE LORD WILL DO.DURING THAT PERIOD WE HAD NEVER DEDICATED ZAMBIA TO JESUS.THIS TIME ZAMBIA IS CALLED CHRISTIAN NATION.EVEN IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM IT IS STATED.WHAT CHILUBA DID WAS SIMPLY SAYING,LORD JESUS TAKE OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THE BATTLE IS THE LORDS

  18. If all being fair, then Police should arrest Winter, GBM, Masebo over the manda manda saga & Nawakwi over the maize deal.Most of our politicians are not clean and most of them cannot be spared.What about Namugala, Namulambe?This is selective justice. Mr President please start ruling and stop these injustices. You will reap what you are sowing today.What goes around comes around.

    • Good analysis. I totally agree with you. Justice is for all, not for some. Zambia is not an animal farm.

    • You people forget easily. Politicians are all the same. Levy had Sata in prison on stealing car charges. Chiluba had KK, Mungomba, Nakatindi in some prison, RB had Jean Kapata and Mumbi Phiri in cells for a honking when the some public law said no honking. So Nevers, welcome to the club. So Sata is just doing what his predessors did.

  19. The state has lost its marbles.I think there is evil rising in our midst and christians need to pray seriously for our country.Day in day out we keep reading about opposition leaders been arrested over silly charges.People are being persecuted for having divergent views,whilst those in power are openly corrupt and no-one can do anything about it.This is not the democracy Zambians voted for in 1991.Lets pray

  20. If you can’t see parallels between this man and Mr Kaunda pre 1964
    You absolutely mentally challenged

    He epitomises suffering of a leader prior to redemption
    I will be shocked if he is not our president either 2016 or latest 2021

    I have predicted all elections so far since 1991 when I was very young, and I am only 27

    Thanks

    • This is a failed akantemba police state which has no foggest idea on how to run a country let alone their own homes.The people that are supposed to be locked are Kabimba,GBM,Nchito,Mmembe,Mpombo Kapoko….etc.These people are now on government payroll enjoying tax payers money.How can government explain appointing Mpombo as ambassodor to Nigeria when he is facing a court case in Zmabia.Who is going to pay for his travel expenses when he is required to attend court cases in Zambia and how how did he pass proper person test to be appointed as ambassador?Has this dodgy government already decided to acquit him?The country has gone to the dogs.

  21. Heavenly Father in heaven we come before you not because we are worthy but because you love us Zambians and you said if we confess our sins you are faithful and just to forgive us and heal our land.Lord we Zambians are complacent,allowing evil to reign in our midst and turning a blind eye to those being persecuted unjustly.We love to talk and blog but thats all we do,but today we want to pray for Zambia.Purge us of wicked men in government.Let their works come to nought.We will not fret when wicked men prosper because Lord we know their days a renumbered.Raise leaders in our nation,young men and women that will make a lasting change in the economic development of Zambia and who will help make Zambia a better place to live in.Respecting all religions I submit this prayer in Jesus name.Amen

  22. I think this is some kind of bussiness some so called organisation not worth mentioning but we know which one, is currently involved in, day in day out arresting and releasing, What a country!How much are you making let us in on the profits pliz?

  23. This is a failed akantemba police state which has no foggest idea on how to run a countrylet alone their own homes.The people that are supposed to be locked are Kabimba,GBM,Nchito,Mmembe,Mpombo Kapoko….etc.These people are now on government payroll enjoying tax payers money.How can government explain appointing Mpombo as ambassodor to Nigeria when he is facing a court case in Zmabia.Who is going to pay for his travel expenses when he is required to attend court cases in Zambia and how how did he pass proper person test to be appointed as ambassador?Has this dodgy government already decided to acquit him?The country has gone to the dogs.

  24. “Tell it as it is” it is not the valley of death but the ” Valley of the shadow of death”. Nevers Mumba is not with God. God is a God of justice and he shall not late any sin go unpunished. If you still money he will punish you. If you disrespect authority he will punish you. If you lie he will still punish you. You slander other people you will be punished. That is what is happening to your man.

    • I corrected that in a subsequent (later) post, I happen to know my bible. The GOD I worship is a just GOD, and that is why I believe no weapon formed against Nevers shall prosper. Be warned that genuine prayer warriors are fasting and on their knees. GOD shall prevail over the nation of Zambia. I remember way back when Nevers was veep, Ba Sata tried to provoke him with a snide remark. All Nevers said then was that he would not respond because he respected Ba Sata as an elder. Even this time, I do not think Nevers has said anything that one can construe as an insult to the president, even under severe provocation. That is a child of GOD under the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

  25. Ba ‘truth hates’ are you so unwise that you can’t see selective justice, just arresting yo opponents and shielding the big thieves who are your own? Our redeemer lives mind you.

  26. The charge slapped on Dr Mumba is abuse of ofice …not stealing he stole nothing. The charges are all politically motivated this how tinpots behave everywhere, and they end badly. Examples are many.

  27. Please ba Nevers just go back to your church and continue preaching. You let us down when you joined politics..you..f0000l. You end up visiting all the cells in Zambia and get TB.

    • I may not judge MCS and NM over these issues but your language is disgusting. The bible says that a man reaps what he sows. You can avoid God’s wrath and receive His love after repenting. You can not correct a wrong using another wrong. Let your language help your readers and fellow bloggers and not the other way.

  28. You know MMD is finished under your so called leadership. You are not even a presido of MMD afterall. We do not want you. We are behind Namugala and the other good members

  29. Mr Truth hates, do not say that there shall be no sacred cows in zambia,when there are plenty of them, such as:Mmembe,Nchito,Kabimba,Masebo,GBM,ETC. This saying only applies to people like Dr Mumba

  30. I WONDER WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE TALKING IN BEHULF OF MUMBA. TO ME IT LOOKS LIKE IS JUST ONE PERSON SAYING THE SAME. HOW CAN YOU SART INSULTING THE PRESIDENT FOR THE CRIMES THAT WHERE COMMITTED IN THE PREVIOUS GOVERNMENT? AND HOW DO YOU EXPECT THE LAW NOT TO DO ANYTHING ON PEOPLE SUSPECTED OF STEALING OR COMMITTING OFFENSES. I DON`T SEE ANYTHING SO SPECIAL ABOUT MUMBA. IF IT IS PERSECUTION HOW MANY FORMER DIPLOMATS WHO ARE NOT EVEN HEARD OF ANY CRIMES.
    MUMBA MISUSED THE MONEY, STOP TALKING NONSENSE LET HIM JUST GO AND EXPLAIN THE TRUETH IN COURT,

  31. this man nevers mumbwi will pay for running away from GOD. the canadian case is striaght forward let him serve his term in jail full stop.

  32. Mumba is marked to be in Plot No.1 in due course,watch this space. The Police cells Mumba is being locked in will be the cells Sata and his group will be locked in. He who has ears let them listen! Whoever shall dig a pit, shall fall in it!

  33. NO 12.2 Truth hates. that is a beautiful statement you re wise. All those supporting the govt of the day good work. We all know that even if it were nevers in power, he would not tolerate corruption even if he himself may be doing so in hiding. ambians are already benefitting from Pf Policies to deliver. Shut up if you have nothing to say abt the ruling party because you re fools and Socially Illiterate uncurcumcised dirty hoodlunks Shaaaaaaaaaaa. LEt Justice Prevail

  34. Ba Nevers Sata and the PF are afraid of you just keep on tormenting them, we are behind you. These guys have failed us we have hope in you. these guys are not as clean as you are. dont allow them to disorient you. please Pastor just be focussed.

  35. Zambian youth born 1985, that was a good prayer mwana. Pliz keep it up. Shaka oz, the people you are attacking are very ruthless. They may be claiming to be christians but they are not and if you think they are going to condem the PF Government, then you are wrong. These are Freemasons pretending to be men of God. Please stay away from them if you don’t want to be harmed. They have total control of the media and they are able to paint a bad picture of any one who is against them including Nevers Mumba. Look at the post Newspaper and what they report. The list is endless.

  36. Seleni tubombeko ifwe ba PF. We pluck whatever stands in the way of national development..like this pharisee called Mumba..Let God reign and be merciful on our dear presido MCS, our MP Lubinda and all the other good men and women we have in GRZ and PF. Come join us..the boat still has space for you
