Jean Kapata wants Kabimba charged for bring cabinet into disrepute in addition to the party charge

kapata

Patriotic Front Mandevu MP Jean Kapata has written to the party Deputy Secretary General Bridget Atanga to further charge Secretary General Wynter Kabimba for bringing Cabinet and the party into disrepute.

In a letter copied to President Michael Sata and made available to ZNBC news in Lusaka, Ms Kapata has complained that Mr Kabimba’s comments in the media in which he alleged that some cabinet Minister are corrupt are serious.

She says Cabinet is sponsored by the PF. Ms Kapata said that Mr Kabimba’s allegation is not only serious but an offence under the law NOT to report corrupt activities. Ms Kapata has further demanded that Mr Kabimba who is also Justice Minister should exculpate his allegations before the disciplinary committee of the central committee of the PF.

“This is a serious allegation and is an offence under our laws not to report corruption. Mr Kabimba should exculpate his allegations before the disciplinary committee of the Central Committee of the Party,” Ms Kapata said.

The letter dated October 7, 2013 is addressed to PF deputy secretary general, Bridget Atanga and copied to President Michael Sata and party national chairperson, Inonge Wina.

She said Mr Kabimba had been quoted in the Post Newspaper to have alleged that some Ministers were corrupt.

“Further to my letter requesting you to ask the central committee to charge Mr Kabimba, the PF Secretary General, I humbly request that he be charged further for bringing the Cabinet and the Party into disrepute.

“Mr Kabimba was reported in the Post Newspaper to have alleged that some Ministers are corrupt. The said Cabinet is sponsored by our party, PF,” she said.

Last month, Ms Kapata wrote another letter demanding that Mr Kabimba be disciplined over his remarks that a clique of tribal elements was pushing him out of the party.

  1. What’s wrong with you Jean? “The public squabbles we have witnessed in the recent past must end and end immediately. I have publicly stated that I am not desperate for endorsement and while I thank the rank and file for the expression of confidence and affection, I must ask all our most ardent supporters to desist from the temptation of endorsement campaign which well-intentioned as they have the effect of causing me embarrassment. At the opportune time I will indicate whether I accept the nomination or not,” President Sata said.

    The President wants this to end … foolish woman!

    • In case you don’t Kabimba is more seasoned than most of you newbies. And by the way you were not there in the deep trenches when Kabimba, Guy Scott and MCS were laboring in the nights at the beginning.

      You have no idea what kind of sacrifices Kabimba, Guy Scott and MCS went through just so you can now be an MP for PF in Mandevu. So your cliche howbeit scared of Kabimba and would like to come up with cheap political shenanigans to remove him from what he started using mob psychology won’t work.

      I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news to your kaponya group … the smart people of the Zambian Enterprise deserve better. Stop this crap immediately because Zambia is greater than any single one of us!!!

    • BR Mumba,
      I appologise for that response, LT made a blunder and posted your response under my post, now i see they have made a correction.
      LT, why do you get so confused sometimes are you high or too tired?

    • @Mumba, what the son of.. .. you are! Why are you wasting the polluted oxygen on earth, and misuse it to puff-out such insults on Ba Jean Kapata. Are you still mad at your mother’s decisions, respect mothers, respect women.
      Did you and Cosmo Mumba cussed by your ex-father? Do you pray that Sata will adopt you as a son… only such peace of you can “adore” such a man.

    • Well, except for her dressing and her “Gupta” hair she sounds very correct on this one. It’s a travesty of justice for a justice minister to be aware of other cabinet ministers’ corrupt activities and not report them. God knows how many other criminal activities he deliberately turns a blind eye to. As Zambians we’ve made such a circus of our government that I cannot remember any other govt in which ministers either quarrelled in public or threatened to resign without the head of state taking any decisive action. And now here’s one that openly tells you how HE’s not doing to uphold the law.!!

    • @ 1.1 b r mumba
      You a nut do know u what jean has gone thru to bring pf to what it is today. Guy scot was in lima party then, kabimba and his girl friend masebo were ZRP ben mwila party, so stop your warped thinking anyone asking kabimba to behave is been unreasonable.

      Infact the biggest problem is kabimba’s handler mmembe whose sounding so lost out that his screaming editorials dont make sense to anyone anymore

    • Your photo almost betrayed me to think that you are elite and a gentleman but what is coming of your mouth is that of the kaponyas. like someone who have never seen the door a classroom and a desk thanks do not Judge the book by it’s cover for sure. I am not PF how dare do you call Jean as a foolish woman? Kindly it is you who is foolish who can read between the lines. Shame on dear be gentle as your photo analyse issues as they are not bragging.

    • What a load of rubbish!! Being among the first to form a political party does not make one own it. They simply become pioneers, the party itself belongs to the Zambian people. Kabimba and Sata may have a lot of influence based on their position, but no-one should feel inhibited to exercise democratic rights given what is at stake, as you like calling it the ”Zambian Enterprise”. We wouldn’t be bothered if either Kabimba, Sata or any other fowl-mouthed leader operated in private offices, generated own income and belittle themselves or their employees. This isn’t the case, they draw on tax-payers and should be accountable now or in future.

    • hahaha, Naive little man. Even his ministers know he has dementia so they expect he has already forgotten he even swore anyone in today. He is going to look at the letter, make that face he makes like he has smelt something bad and go “Who is this Jean Kapata? What is a Kabimba?” And Kaseba, hearing his agitated voice will rush into the room as ka George Chella ushers people out and locks the doors and Kaseba will gently go ‘Chilufya, bushe naunjishiba?’ And Sata will look up at her and grin and go ‘Ba mummy, nde fwaya sweety’ And she will raise worried eyes to ka George, shake her head and go “I think fya shupa nomba. Who are you calling?”
      Ka George looks at her, cell phone ku kutwi and goes “Yes, Mr. Sondashi, George here, we need you. We need you NOW!”

    • This kalubale woman kapata has two very very good points here!!! Kabimba is a minister of justice if you information of corruption in the PF government he must name the involved and act on it instend of goint to the post .. number 2… who are the tribal clique is report in the post?? Answers Please,

      confusion!!!! comes with a wind of change

    • @dudelove

      Love it! I can just picture the scenario as you described. funny, but probably accurate

    • @BR MUMBA
      Iwe Mumba what scarifices are talikng about from kabimba and Scot to the people of Zambia?,, do you research dont support blindly! Kabimba is a curse to the nation.. make kabimba president for PF now and PF dies in a second,,and that muzungu opusa has no love for Zambia in his heart….. if things becomes extremely bad in Zambia he will flee to Londom with no problem

    • Yes, Kabimba and Guy Scott have been there from the beginning … ask MCS himself. And yes, Kabimba can make a better president than GBM in my opinion. He has more enemies than anyone I know of in his party mainly because he is perceived as a threat to wannabies.

      What you are seeing here are politics of fear. Those who can’t win and or at least stand tall to tall with you usually look for ways to denigrate you using masses because they have no capacity to replace you based on principle. GBM started this fight using his position at Defense and the Intelligence at his disposal.

      He knows fully well that if he stood on merit with Kabimba, after MCS is gone he would be defeated. The fight is not for today, it is being wedged for the future and the smart people of the Enterprise see it.

    • BR Mumba, the Internet is there for everyone to us including you. Please spare us your luck of research Skills.

      Kabimba has been rejected not once but twice in his supposed Hometown. I can speculate that had he stood in 2011, he still would have lost.

      FYI – Kabimba stood on the RP Ticket in 2001, flopped. He stood again in 2006 not on the PF, in Mumbwa and again flopped. WE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL HE GOES…………

    • Ba OldRugsOUT … it is the principle that matters here. If you want Kabimba to go use more civilized means than the current machiavellian tactics. And by the way GBM will never be president among the smart people of the Zambian Enterprise. Even Hichilema has a better chance of getting to the helm than he does.

      So, his current efforts are works in futility … he is lucky that MCS is his uncle but the truth is MCS is intolerant to such behavior. MCS just said and I quote “Let me warn those who have been establishing pararell structures to promote their peculiar agenda to stop confusing the party.

      It is these machinations which are grounded in malice and dishonesty that have stoked reactions from other members who feel such actions have potential to weaken the cohesion of the party.”

    • “The public squabbles we have witnessed in the recent past must end and end immediately. I have publicly stated that I am not desperate for endorsement and while I thank the rank and file for the expression of confidence and affection, I must ask all our most ardent supporters to desist from the temptation of endorsement campaign which well-intentioned as they have the effect of causing me embarrassment. At the opportune time I will indicate whether I accept the nomination or not,” President Sata said.

    • i can see clearly now the watch d.o.g,s are aimlessly barking at anything.
      in the bible, a dog is associated to evil.
      how then credible is our watchdog?
      is it not a case of seven(th) day(s) drunkards pretending to be ‘holier than thou’?

    • thanks for publishing news to the public. i was unhapply to head kabimba wranging information ps mwamba about the publication of bad language he used on the public and same information was caputed in times newspaper of zambia. eaxmples of news are that some minsters are corrupt in PF, the is too much tribelise element in PF. than, i would like to ask who are those minsters and members who are tribelise. let him inform the nation. thanx

  2. Is Sata trying to wriggle out of the agreement he made with Wynter? Seems to me he is using all these people to hound Wynter out of the party, and so end the pact they made regarding succession to presidency.

    “You see comrade, me I still want you to be president after me. But the people are just being troublesome. Definitely you are the one.”

    And so he comes out of it smelling like roses.

    • The Last time I checked, there Zambia was not a Chiefdom to have any pacts with anyone.

      Kabimba will go whether he likes it or not.

  3. ….and to Jean Kapata

    “Ala te pa ku leka. continue with the good work mama.”

    And he still comes out of it smelling not only of roses, but lavendar too.

  4. Stop the noise Madam. We are tired of this bickering now. Cant you stop and find something else to do and not to talk. Do something for a living and for the people of mandevu

    • She has the right to be heard; if anything the Min of Justice, her boss made the mistake of bringing the Party in disrepute so he should answer or at least tell us the outsiders, whom he was addressing, who the tribal clique is. We may be mistaking that to be GBM or perhaps Given; who is this tribal clique that can’t stand him? I, as a Zambian, is really interested. In fact for the peace of mind of all Zambians this question should have been asked in parliament. We attach a lot of weight to the cry of tribalism if it is coming from a Minister not our fellow kaponyas on the street.

    • We will not stop until Kabimba goes either forced out or resign on himself.

      We will not allow self acclaimed holier than though minions to continue misleading our people.

      Wynter must GO.

    • You really surprise me. Do you expect peace in the camp of kaponyas? PF is a party for kaponyas therefore bickering is part of their culture. They will be fighting among themselves until kingdom come.

  5. When sata calls for cease fire it means the opposit. This is a war without truce. Unfortunately being fought why they occupy govt jobs at the expense of working.

  6. Is the issue of copying letters accepted in PF? Kapata, you will follow Nephron Phiri. keep quiet and just chew money woman. Don’t put yourself in the battles you don’t know. If the president did not like Kabimba, he could have fired him long. Cant you see something here?

  7. MADAM,

    THE PRESIDENT SAID STOP PICKERING, PLEASE STOP IT.

    IF MR KABIMBA ALLEGED THAT SOME CABINET MINISTERS ARE CORRUPT.

    WHY NOT START WITH YOUR GBM

    WHO ALSO ALLEGED IN THE SAME MEDIA THAT SOME ‘RIFRAFF’ CABINET MINISTERS WERE AFTER SATA’S JOB WHICH SPARK OFF THE UNNECESSARY ENDORSEMENT DEBATE?

  8. This is not about what the president Said ..this is about Corruption, Kabimba is under obligation to report corruption and if he didn’t he need to be charged by the law enformenebt agent for alarming the nation. HH was charged under this law and that is the issie here

    • Thought you knew Kabimba is mad in his head.

      He’s never said or done anything sensible in his life, such that this is not surprising.

  9. Yawn yawn yawn yawn………
    Anyone with some soothing news to the ear please? Am so tired of politics, Whats In/ Out? Am so longing to hear what our politicians brought back from that important UN meeting in New York, details please!

    • @cindy
      I understand you my girl, i wish i was near to pass a bottle and glass of wine to you to calm those nerves down…
      lightening hasnt striken… kabimba still in the game..ouch!!.. the curse stays on!!

  10. Whichever way this war heads to WMK is eating humble pie. He has been humbled. All those people that used to ‘onta’ him like fire in June have distanced themselves. Humbled bakaamba…..

  11. What can this stupid man called winter claim he did for PF? When he was needed most he shied away from speaking on behalf of the party claiming he could breach his responsibility as one of the party lawyers. After Lubinda cleaned the image of the party as spokesman, that is when this fool came on board. He is simply an opportunist. The earlier they get rid of him the better for the PF, the government and the nation

  12. Am now a Kaponya for having an opnion….. thank you sir, i cant stop wondering why you dragging me in this fiascal for my thoughts and views where miles away from your Kabimba, i think you had a stressful day nowonder you are being defensive and responding were you are not supposed to, never mind, we all have those days some times, go take some wine or Whiskey….. trust me, it will help.

    • @cindy
      dont wonder.. take it this way,,Sata is an action man, who doesnt take nonsense from anyone including George Bush and thats a fact.
      1.Sata dropped lubinda without giving it a second thought
      2.Justice minister Zulu was fire before he would even blink.. just like that!!
      3.Dr Effron Lungu was kick out for that CC issue!!
      4. and many people has been striken bý `lightening` Fired!!! at the hands of Sata
      So with that there must a very GOOD reason why he cant act on Kabimba,, and that reason must be BIG and GOOD!!

    • @ Ndobo,
      Sata is the most interligent president Zambia has ever had, i have learnt something from this man, for one to succeed in life, you have to be tactical, practical and calculative amongst others… they call him Ukwa, Koponya, un educated, chimbwi no plan, but his plan has out played, out smart, out done every one and above all, he has put up a puzzle out there that no educated zambian dare to solve, both in and out his circle they wait for his demise or at most 2016, to which he indirectedly gave in in todays post that he will not contest. If only those smart enough will learn something from him, after all Zambia has been a challenge to which he has dealt with well. Life is a challenge look it straight in the eye and deal with it,never really give in or show your weakeness.

  13. Sata is a political genius. Wynter Kabimba, Given Lubinda and GBM shall never taste plot one. We all know who is the next president, MRS…….

    • The next PF and likely Republican President is Hon. Alexander Chikwanda who is more strategically positioned than the rest and has no squabbles with anyone (a sign that oracles could have endorsed him). This man is hidden within PF and no one notices him as a president in the making.

    • I cant wait for Dr Kaseba to be the president, am keeping my fingers crossed…. I just cant wait, the men have ruled Zambia for ever and it’s time for a woman to take up that challenge, yes they have done some thing but not everything, i wonder how she will dress are Cabinet more men than women or equal equation? Waoh… i cant wait, please dont bring in this topic for i cant stop i will end up sleeping on LT tonight, ok am done, oh wait a sec….. when will they adopt her in the party or HEMCS can just hijack her to the top un opposed? i hope so and i will salute that, yes i said it and it dame feels good, Dr Kaseba Sata for president 2016… mwaah!

    • @The Equalizer
      if the whole of the Justice minister kabimba can bring in tribalism and its not an issue.. why not ordinary me??

  14. Jean Kapata must resign if Kabimba is not fired because the 2 can not work together any more after he direct demands.

  15. RB,
    LT made a mistake by posting your comment under mine thus my reaction, otherwise, i appologise, now they have rectifield it but keep censoring my comment, i guess the dude behind it is pissed off for being exposed!

  16. Mr. Mumba,

    Get it from me. Winter Kabimba is not a founder member of the PF. He only joined the PF in 2009 after defecting from BY’s Republican Party. In contrast, Jean Kapata has been with the PF since 2001. Get your facts right to avoid embarrassing yourself.

  17. Mr. Mumba,

    Get it from me. Winter Kabimba is not a founder member of the PF. He only joined the PF in 2009 from BY’s Republican Party. In contrast, Jean Kapata has been with the PF since 2001. Get your facts right to avoid embarrassing yourself.

  18. kabimba!
    stand your ground. Fortune seekers are after your position. They are known to jump on other peoples vehicles and claim to be theirs.
    KK can be a witness to this.

  19. And the next PF and possible republican President Alexander Chikwanda is enjoying a peace of mind while these nincompoops are on each others throats. Anyway that is the mystery of life.

  20. In case most of you dont know, Jean Kapata,Mumbi Phiri,Kambwili, Yamfwa and others were with Sata when your Wynter Kabimba together with Sylvia Masebo were in ZRP. Check your facts b4 you mislead those who know little about PF and its road to Govt. Infact Wynter only came on the scene around 2008

  21. Sata is scared of Winter ,will undress him naked in Post with his friend Meembe how the son dog seller has all of a sudden become a billionaire due to corrupt contracts.

    • little brat! you think sata ll just watch them tear him like that. Kabimba and mmmembe ve more to fear from sata than sata has to from them. My dear boma ni boma let them go into the ring over that you ll see how k& m post ll come out very bruised.

  22. Any chance that she can pen a letter? I doubt it. No sense of hierarchy in PF , everybody is on the same level, anybody can write to president, what a circus , what a president!!

  23. Kabimba was a like a snake resting in its hole and being poked left, right and centre; what do you expect. Jean Kapata should be very careful. Why didn’t she seek audience with Kabimba to check with him first? What about the trauma Kabimba suffered by being wished death by Jean Kapata’s cadres. Somebody is obviously chewing her at night and using her to make noise because they know HEMCS will not be too harsh to a woman, but she is pushing her luck. Wasn’t it Jean Kapata who once betrayed Sata with her group of MPs and they were only saved by the court??? Today Jean Kapata cam claim to be more decent than Kabimba? Olo ni uhule, si mwamene!

  24. B R Mumba, Sr, you are smart, your analysis is right. Kabimba does’t seem to tolerate nonsense that is why these guys are worried about him. Face the fact PF is in a crisis because the uneducated GBM and company who think Zambians will be fooled by bringing in this tribal game.We had KK, Chiluba, Mwanawasa, RB and Sata. To rate the past presidents the best principled president was Mwanawasa, doesn’t that give you an idea that it is not the tribe that makes a good president? Infighting in PF is a shame, to say the truth, the good fight if Sata doesn’t go for second term will be between Kabimba and HH. Either Kabimba or HH will be better than Sata, KK or RB. Chiluba plundered, but he was the smartest president Zambia has ever had, he had answers to every question. Go Zambia, GBM OUT…

    • Not that bad. They ain’t making lamp shades out of human skin or putting thousands in gas ovens!

  25. Kabimba can’t be president of Zambia.The man lacks diplomacy and intelligence.If Sata keeps Kabimba then PF will loose 2016 elections.The man is unsellable and people don’t like him no matter how he plans how to take over.He can’t communicate with Zambians full stop.we the people have seen that Kabimba can bring the nation into chaos.He doen’t want to be challenged.there was no need to be tribal even if he saw something tribal.He can’t learn from Obama?As a leader never talk about tribalism or rasism when u’re in office.try to talk about unity.

    • @ Moscow

      Please speak for yourself. Which people of Zambia don’t like Kabimba? Stop involving other people in your small i.d.i.o.t.i.c fights of tribal hatred. That is how you sold Sata before 2011, but now the same people you are referring know your games. We know exactly why people like you hate Kabimba —– it is only because he has a surname from another tribe. What is really cheap and stinks is for you to talk about ‘people of Zambia’, as if other Zambians are as tribal as you. If the rest of Zambia was as tribal as you do you think Sata would be president today? Just be brave and go on national TV and announce to the nation that the reason you hate Kabimba is because he is not bemba…otherwise stop boring us with your cowardice.

  26. What is so special about kabimba? Kabimba and KK should be silenced. People should pray, something sinister very soon will be revealed

  27. Imagine Jean Kapata and Chishimba Kambwili as a husband and wife. Surely these two should have been Soul mates. Both with Hypopotemous faces, thick or is it fat?, Kaponya language and behaviour. Imagine the chidren these two can produce. Perfect match.

    • Thanks for this light moment. Makes a big difference because most bloggers are in a fighting mood over Winter and GBM. Please.

  28. As far as I’m concerned JEAN KAPATA ni hule. In 2010, Jean Kapata and her minion MPs betrayed PF and Sata just because of parliamentary money. If today she think Sata can listen to her??? Niong’o.

    JEAN KAPATA thinks f.a.r.t.i.n.g loudly to Sata will earn her a Ministerial appointment. She has forgotten how much of a traitor she is, Sata doesn’t trust her a bit. She is hungry and sleeping around in Lusaka with anything that has a d.i.c.k and some money – we know her and we see her around. Her credibility is as weak as slime.

  29. Mama Kapata don’t be used as a tool to fight kabimba,it looks like you are one of those corrupted .Remember when u were used in NWP 4 pf to go through in mufumbwe what did you gain.I know that you are just corrupted to fight kabimba so that it can show now that even other tribes other than bemba’s are in support of the removal of kabimba from his position . Jean traibolism is real never pretend.
