Movement for Multiparty Democracy President Nevers Mumba has called on Zambians to scrutinize people aspiring for national leadership and avoid voting for leaders based on family or friendship.
Dr. Mumba said people should be voted into office based on their ability to deliver as opposed to friendships or relationships.
He called on Zambians to avoid making the same mistake they made in 2011 when the voted for President Sata as doing so would only compound the misery that the country is going through as a result of the PF.
“The mistake that we make here in Zambia is to try to elect a President on the basis that they can campaign or they have money or they belong to my tribe that is the biggest mistake we make in choosing a national leader. A national leader should be chosen on the basis of his character and I believe that the reason we are facing gigantic problems today in Zambia is because of the PF. The leaders know no morality, they know no integrity, character to PF does not mean anything,” Dr Mumba said.
Dr Mumba said the PF leadership will lie to people and some people will clap for them and vote for them and the result is the pain that the nation is experiencing today.
Dr Mumba further pledged to change the politics being practiced in Zambia which he described as toxic, un-Christian and unrealistic and unite the people for the purpose of developing the nation.
“I am committed to making sure that we change the politics of Zambia. If we don’t change these toxic, un-Christian and unrealistic politics we are not going to see development because we are spending too much time on doing politics instead of uniting ourselves to develop this country.”
He added, “I will ensure that the politics of corruption, the politics of hatred, the politics of vindictiveness and the politics of insulting one another are left behind and I will insist that we have civil politics where political opponents can talk around a table on matters of national interest.”
Dr Mumba also advised the PF government to concentrate on delivering on their promises as opposed to public relations stunts as people in the country are tied of their lies.
“My advice to the PF is that they should focus more on performance and delivery instead of public relations, Zambians are no longer listening to the PF all their proclamations and their statements, why? Because we have been cheated so many times by this government and everybody knows that they come to power through lies. So whenever there is a small thing they go to the television and announce a bumper harvest, they announce that they are now distributing the inputs for 2013-2014, the of agriculture Minister was on TV flagging off the delivery of inputs from NCZ and the following day NCZ announces that they were canceling the contract to supply the fertilizer.”
Dr Mumba said the PF has never had direction on how to improve the agriculture sector in the country
He urged the government to quickly announce the flow price of maize as some briefcase businessmen have started taking advantage of small scale farmers who are selling their hard earned produce at between K30 and K40.
Meanwhile, calls of goodwill messages flooded both Sky FM and Chikuni Community radio stations where Dr Mumba featured on live phone in programmes.
The callers congratulated Dr Mumba for standing firm against the rebel members who are against his leadership.
One of the callers, Chanda Chimba urged Dr Mumba to continue reorganizing the party so that it bounces back to power in 2016 as the PF has failed.
Some callers wondered how the country will have a bumper harvest when farming inputs were delivered late and most of the farmers in the province were complaining about their poor harvest.
Other callers urged Dr Mumba to partner with other opposition leaders and push for the release of the constitution.
MMD left the Zambian economy very stable but its now gone banana under the current regime. The pf is running a country like shaka the Zulu who never new how to control the economy but only knew how to defeat his enemies. 2016 vote wisely.
Iwe mambala, leave Shaka Zulu alone! He was in charge of defence not economics. And besides the economy was not one of his enemies otherwise he would have defeated it also.
The kettle calling the pot black!
Nevers, morality, integrity and character are important qualities but do not by themselves give us or guarantee service delivery to the people.
you stand as a example: You claim to have character, integrity and morality, but you failed your church, sold your political party for a few pieces of silver (vice president), you were fired for failure to deliver and you hold the record as serving the shortest period as veep and you are currently facing criminal charges for misapplying and embezzling public funds when you served as high commissioner in Ottawa.
So Nevers, where is your morality, integrity and character?
Please, dont ask others of standards you dont have
The brits kicked the f**K out of Shaka Zulu.
well said man of God…….
Gen.to be ignorant of issues is very dangerous.Dr Mumba has never lerft the Church.He’s the President of Victory Ministries.The Churches are run by others he has groomed.He never sold any Party,there was a Party resolution,chaired by the Chairperson Mrs Sanderson,being fired by Mwanawasa-was just politics at play,the need for 2nd Term,The Ottawa issue is a non-starter,fear of the unknown.Out of more than 50 Diplomats,only Dr Mumba has a case to answer.Infact as revealed by the Auditor General,Ottawa had no financial irregularities.Those Missions with irregularities have gone scort free.What a Peoples’ Faut(PF) Party Governance Record.
“MMD leaving the economy is a good state??” Are we talking about the same MMD that left schools without teachers, roads in a terrible state, hospitals completely run down and women giving birth in the open, civil servants being paid low almost close to nothing some not receiving salaries for months, UNZA being closed so many times its ranking suffers as a result, no minimum wage for employees, the same MMD that yes sold our mines at nothing hence drastically reducing our national income??? Okay if its that MMD my friend you must be wrong get your facts right, why did Zambia vote for change in 2011?? Because MMD failed!
Gen,you’re very mistaken.Morality and integrity,they mean a lot in leadership.When Jesus fed the 5000+ people with little food available,he put(gave) the little food in the hands of the Disciples(Leadership of morality and integrity) to distribute,and not in the hands of the so-called politicians.The politicians would have fed themselves 1st,and nothing would have remained for others.Politicians always talk about limited resources.They get first,and nothing remains for others.Moral Leadership is very important for Zambia and the people.These so_called educated pipo will let you down.
Pastor Mumbwe ! Go back to the pulpit.We all know you deep down that deep down you are a wolf in sheep’s clothing.You are an opportunist by nature.
Pastor Mumbwe ! Go back to the pulpit.We all know that deep down you are a wolf in sheep’s clothing.You are an opportunist by nature.
@Saulosi your argument is old and outdated!Besides Pastor Mumba has not left the pulpit he’s just changed the size of his pulpit. Glad you are getting his message loud and clear! The one who is a wolf in sheeps skin has been Sata.It is an undeniable fact that the man in Statehouse is not the man who was an opposition leader.He is no longer a man of action.What man of action would communicate to a nation via Facebook?
this cadra paid by the witch kabimba?bushe ulimwana wandoshi soulosi?
Iwe ka ngona.Grow up and Get some sense. From the time pf took office, we have had so many bye-elections at the expense of development. Look at our economy today. Even a person who never went to school is able to tell ati ifintu tafili bwino.Bola naikosa kuli ba Pf
Why so many bye- elections? BECAUSE OF MMD CORRUPT CANDIDATES! The courts have found these MMD candidates guilty of corruption. And should MMD talk about integrity???????? SHAME. Pastor MUMBWE please spare us the crap!!!!!!
Shut up u idiot neverz mumba. You are a thief
Where has this God of yours been then when Mumba has been losing all the elections he stood in? Across all the attempts he has made, he has failed to secure any more than a few, i.e. less than 10K, thousand votes added up together.
Not even his Church people would vote for him. Now you are telling me that God is all of a sudden interested in this fraudster?
People like you rely on the fact that God actually does not exist, you know that very well and hence why you abuse his name because if he existed he would really punish you for your selfish abuse of his name. You are lucky God is just a myth and you should thank your lucky stars for that. Your pastor friend Mumba has long known that God is just a myth and you can see through his actions – he does not act like someone who fears God.
my friend, God is beyond your comprehension. God is real and alive. I wish I knew you personally so that I give you astounding evidence of his existence. just a tip for you, read the bible, book of Daniel chapter 2,7 and 8 and tell me that the timeline the bible put for his people is not true. you will be shocked the accuracy in it.
@matipa this creature called laughter doesnt even have a bible what is he/she going to read. @laughter all your responses are the same ur so boring. U shall burn in hell.
Do your politics but do not mock God because you will perish in hell fire.
Four figures are pointing at you! Ask your self how you got to the position of MMD president and why senior leaders are worried that you might run MMD to ashes.
Please don’t play to the Gallery.
True Blue if at all this exists,because at inception,there was noi such crap as true blue.The hijackers are the ones who coined this crap word.Ask Aka,Chitala-there was no true blue.In fact the 1st President of MMD was supposed to be Arthur Wina.If you remember Aka resigned as Minister of Science and Technology.So,True Blue your so-called senior MMD members are not original,they’re fake.That’s why they find it very difficult to acknowledge Dr Mumba who was democratically elected.Aka resigned because he noticed that the democratic principles he faught for were being violeted.Real MMD members protect democracy.Kaingu,Chituwo,Dora,Mulusa etc.are very far to be called real MMD Senior members.
Perfect imperfections, either seeing the glass half full or half empty depending on your circumstances.
Nevers is a real guy I think I like him,he talks sense.Sata in opposition did well he talked about the evils of corruption but now he is the most corrupt.He has useless ministers,meali meal has gone up,lying is part of governing,What a sad story?
I used to give this man money when he was living with my friend, his nephew, after he lost his Veep position because of his $tup!d!ty. If you think this man has any morals , values or integrity then you are as good as dead! I wouldn’t trust this man with his own wife’s purse!
Chekov,your hatred for Dr Mumba will consume you.After Dr Mumba was fired,he did not stay in Zambia,he went to America Dallas TX,where he has got a house.The nephews you may talk about are the chidren of the late Simoson Mwewa,the one who stayed in Jesomondine.
Perfect imperfections, either glass is half full or half empty, depends which side of your bread is buttered. I yet have to see a perfect human being and more so a perfect politician.
There no moral plotician. In fact Never once said on one of his TV preaching series that DEMOCRACY means : demons go crazy
Praying for Dr Mumba, family , new MMD and Zambia the gates of hell shall not prevail.
Ba Saulosi,Preaching is not confined to the pulpit(in Church bulidings),no.Where ever you find people,they need God,especially among the politicians,where it’s often said that politics are dirty.Politics are not dirty,but the people who have been left to do politics.That’s why now you need people of charater,morality,integrity to enter politics,so that they bring sanity in politics-which simply means “Human Governance”.So Saulosi don’t be naïve with your Piulpit theory.
Try looking in the mirror and saying these things ba MMD leader. You have no chance, make a gesture to work together with government instead of mumbling vague slander backed up with nothing
Can someone tell this mangwam to shut up. Instead of starting wars he can’t finish with PF, he should focus on his internal MMD problems. He is completely clueless and to be honest this guy has nothing to offer. I have NEVER heard him pronounce a specific policy which MMD stands for and can promise to enact if voted into power. He is the most useless president, he is being beaten even by new-starters like Father Bwalya and Chipimo. All he does all the time is complaining either about people in his own party or about PF. Today he cn talk about morals? Nevers Mumba who deserted his church and his party, who betrayed Mwanawasa in Congo DRC, who awarded himself contracts at the high comiision in Canada, this numskull guy today can say PF leaders have no morality? Who has morality – HIM?
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power, it’s been said and I think the same applies here. We have men and women elected to office and with that office comes power to enforce laws and rule according to the pact we call our constitution. And while we can not point to any one country or civilization up and down man’s history of rule as being perfect, we have notable instances of a leadership that has aimed for that, as the American’s put it, “perfect union”. I don’t see that here nor do many people seem to understand the importance of such. It’s a labour of trust to elect politicians into office, but it need not be done just so as to maintain the status quo, which so far has left much to be desired. All this post independence to…
Yes, bwana Mumba is very right.The PF have no character,integrity or morality ….with their campaign violence + deaths,Sata’s threats to withhold area development if PF is not voted for ,Sata’s family nepotism and 90 day lies.
Why so many bye- elections? BECAUSE OF PF WANTING NUMBERS IN PARLIAMENT IN ORDER TO PASS A DOCTORED CONSTITUTION!
Ba Pastor why do you sound so biter. As Man of God learn to practise politics of love and show good example to other politicians
