KASAMA Central PF Member of Parliament Geoffrey Mwamba has thanked his wife, Chama, and children for buying him a Mercedes Benz worth US$260,000 for his 56th birthday.

And Mwamba has warned Kelvin Sampa, a PF member and any other person eying his seat that they will not find it easy to unseat him.

In a telephone interview with the Post newspaper from Mafokeng, South Africa, where he celebrated his birthday on Sunday, Mwamba said he felt elated by the metallic gift.

Mwamba said his new car would be based in South Africa since he had moved most of his major businesses to that country.

He said those that thought they could cripple his businesses should feel ashamed that he was doing fine in South Africa.

Last year in February, Mwamba bought his wife a Range Rover worth US$200,000 as a Valentines gift.

And Mwamba boasted that it would be difficult for Sampa and other competitors to unseat him in Kasama because he enjoyed massive support from people at the grass roots.

He said he was aware of the schemes that Sampa was undertaking in Kasama.
Last week PF cadres carried a mock coffin of the Kasama Central member of parliament in solidarity of his expulsion from the party.

But Mwamba said those behind such schemes were wasting their time.

He said Kasama was his home town and people there were waiting for those against him to teach them unforgettable lessons

    • Stop coverting and judging people by your flawed standards

      The fact that we are told he was bought, we are obligated to believe that.

      WHo on earth are you to judge people and or know how much money GBM ‘s wife has.

      Give it up you black little toads and crawl back in your holes

      Well done Mrs Mwaamba

      Thanks

    • But How much Tax has he paid in Zambia on his hard earned wealth? You will find very little. That’s why being an MP is a sure way to tax evasion. What factory has he built in Zambia? Hence the desperation to remain MP for Kasama or become President even when you are expelled from PF. Watch out HH for your position! GBM is selfish and fake.

    • @Nubian, what is this of you being born-again? Its just Gospel from you everyday, since Saturday. How can God help GBM, I think he got help enough, it him to help orphans get fat.

    • A mandrax dealer boasting of his dirty money laundered through bribery and government contracts. Zambians are gullible, they respect rich people, notwithstanding how they acquired their wealth.
      What type of gunny bag he is to boast of having shifted his businesses to South Africa and then expect to be elected MP from Kasama. Go and stand in South Africa you big balloon.

    • So he has moved his businesses to SA hence creating jobs there and he still expects to people to vote for him in Kasama? Really? What is really shocking though is that Zambians will actually do.

  1. GBM and HH are real entrepreneurs who should be encouraged and supported. Zambia would be better with HH as president and GBM around him

    • Let not money blind you. How is it that these rich people have always existed and Zambia still has no influx of factories. pen your eyes, Obama is rich but billionaires like warren Buffet and Bill gates are making industries flourish without wanting to be presidents.

    • NGATWALANDA ATI GBM MWAUME KASAMA CENTRAL IS UPND NOW BRAVO GBM

  2. Zambia would have been a better place if we had atleast 50 mps of GBM status becoz they wud debate freely representing the wishes of the voters.not the mukombwe politics.which represent 98% of our current mps.

    • You are delusional, very very delusional. Money is a tool not the end all. Let us all build Zambia. How long have these people been rich and which town have they developed?

    • You’re very right Planzo for apart from fearlessness and freely debating money (tool) would be available for building Zambia and not their bellies (Munkombwe) since they have already raised their own.

      @ Nzelu one has to think twice before heavily investing in Zambia and this relates to Zambians that have made it big. You know of a Zambian owning a factory in China, GBM’s businesses are doing well in RSA, the question we should be asking ourselves is why the investments abroad and not in home country? The answer is right on the nose, Zambian politics places ones’ business and political life in one basket and when the system decides to mess you up..! As long as there is investment insecurity you’ll never in the nearest future see sons and daughters of the soil make huge investments…

    • @planzo

      Do you know what the role of an MP is? This is where ECZ need to work hard educate the masses like yourselves!

    • Plazo, poverty in this country is so deep seated in the minds of people to a point of seeing suffering to be normal. Please are happy to associate with poor leaders who only go into power to steal as has been the case in most of PF and MMD leaders. Look at their pictures before ascending to power and now. A good reference is some MP from the copperbelt.

  3. So he has moved most of his businesses to South Africa? Good no more tenders from the Zambian government since his businesses are no longer located in Zambia. With his Zambian style of management let us see how long his businesses survive in South Africa.

  4. If you want to be remembered as a great man then spend your wealth wisely. Create Jobs and engage in meaningful development for your country. Just look at what your friend Dangote is doing. Sometimes giving back could be the most satisfying achievement in live.

    • Dangote steals labour from innocent local poor people to make himself rich. Labour is the most expensive production input . no wonder Dangote will never pay well in any place he has invested

  5. Awe but GBM alaumfwa too much.Humility is very important regardless of how rich one is.What if God decides to take away all his money? remember the story of the rich fool in the bible? thats why school is very important mwee.

  6. Go GBM. Financial independence is what is lacking in Zambian politics. Presidents are always surrounded by yes men looking after their tummies. How can the country develop? Some steal but once leave politics, became backrupt and want to go back. Shame on them.

    • He wanted to build you a modern bus station in Kasama, you refused. Where is the one Government promised you? So if you Zambians dont want him to plough back part of his money to the community, let willing South Africans get it.

  7. A bicycle or a Treadmill would have made a better, more important and sensible present. THINK MRS GBM THINK!!!!

    • 11@ni-ne,ati a treadmill or a bicycle would have been ideal presents for GBM….pwa ha ha ha,fwaka upepa ni same same nailya yapepele ba Kambwili when naming the stadium in Lusaka ati Gabon Air Disaster National stadium…imbafu shakalipa kunseko…

    • spot, what he needs is to get fit so he improves his health and sexual performance, not a car that will contribute too his front pot…

  8. Yes GBM Sata was trying to cripple your business. Just stand firmily and develop Kasama people their will love and vote for you.

  9. Leave GBM alone, you poor souls.some of you dont even have a wheel barrow to your name and you busy passing nasty comments here.Jelousy!GBM congratulations and happy belated birthday. Enjoy! you only live once.

  10. Zambian’s its really worrying,we never applaud people wea its due,Mrs Mwamba buys the husband a present iyo its not her money blabla who told you? If your girlfriends/wives don’t buy you presents let those that manage buy for their spouses…well done Mrs Mwamba..

  11. GM why do you want the Kasama seat so much if you are so rich and comfortable with your businesses? To me it sounds like you have moved base and your interest to SA. Why do we even need updates for such useless issues anyway?

  12. The fact his family bought him a car is not only worthy of an interview but is actually published news shocks me. I dont think i was ready for this. I shall be back to comment once I am over this. Awe but this is sad.

  13. Am adding the name GBM on the list of my favourites. However why are many bloggers working in the factories and retirement homes attacking GBM’s wealth? It is not GBM’s fault that you are hourly paid you failures who ran away from poor Zambia because of poverty. You thought by coming to UK or USA you will get great jobs.
    You are disgusting maggots.

  14. I fail to see the relevance of this story… unless I missed the e-mail that informed everyone that LT is now a sleazy Tabloid.

  15. Rich people at INTERNATiONAL LEVEL don’t talk about a new car and how they are enjoying! Your GBM is too petty!

  16. Buy yourselves a gift and celebrate it yourselves in the name of your wife. Then announce you are SA residence but still want to be pa Zed nonsense. Kasama residence dont vote people who do not stay in Kasama. Let him go to his original SA. Why should he pretend? Let him go with his bloody money. To hell that is your money.

    • if I was his wife I would use that money to build him a gym if loves herhusband as that is not very healthy to like that for 56 year old.

    • *If I was his wife I would use that money to build him a gym if she loves her husband as that is not very healthy to look like that for a 56 year old man.

  17. SELF MADE MAN! ENJOY IT. AT LEAST IN SA YOU WILLBE ABLE TO FIND FUEL TO DRIVE YOUR CAR. EVEN ZAMBIAN BUSINESMEN ARE LEAVING OUR INVESTOR HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT. Like a friend of mine that runs a shoe factory in one of the countries in our region said to me when I asked him why despite having a large customer base from Zambia he did not want to build a factory in Zambia. His response was ” I HAVE NO USE FOR KWACHA IT LOSES VALUE EVERY DAY” He explained that all his Zambian customers buy in Rand or dollar right now so why collect kwacha and lose money in exchange rate. “LET THE ZAMBIANS PAY THEIR OWN LOSS”. SAD TO SAY HE WAS RIGHT.

  18. True wealth is not about how much money or possessions you own but how many lives you inspire and what kind of value you add to others – Life Basics to True Earthly Happiness

  19. Typical Zambian millionaires !!!!! Once they die all their businesses goes down with them…..Nothing wrong with her buying him a present,but that much would expand his business and employ for poor people in Zambia.

  20. BA EMMANUEL MWAMBA WANTS KASAMA CENTRAL
    TRY LUKASHYA NOT GBM TERRITORY
    WITH KELVIN SAMPA YABA MAYBE KU MALOLE.

    ON RB’S PARTY OF MMD/PF SWALLOWED .
    EMMANUEL GONE IN THE ARCHIVES WHEN WAS PS ULUSE .
    GUYS IMWE BA MBULI TRY KANSEMBES OR YALUMAS NOT GBM .
    GBM FOREVER ,BRAVO GBM .

  21. GBM EACH TIME YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH YOU TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH WEALTH YOU HAVE. IT IS POINTLES FOR YOU TO SINK SL LOW AND TALK ABOUT WEALTH. THE BIBLE SAYS WHAT DOES IT PROFIT A MAN IF HE GAINS THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSES HIS SOUL?
    THAT IS YOUR WEALTH, EVEN THE POOREST NEIFGHBOUR HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR RICHES. LEARN HUMBLE AND TO AVOID TALKING ABOUT YOUR RICHES IN PUBLIC. IT SHOWS THAT BRAINWISE U ARE UNDEVELOPED POSSIBLY BELONGING TO A KENYAPETHICUS MAN WE LEARN IN HISTORY.

  22. A boastful and playful couple.

    You will make a better name name if you donated that money to orphans, less privileged in society rather than being showy… USE your earnings wisely…

    Just hoping its clean money

  23. saddest piece of reading this morning. grow up GBM. you move your businesses to SA and claim to be happy but at the same time you continue warning Sampa from afar. chimbwi afwili intanganana. emulate your fellow business men whose interests are still here regardless of political climate not bragin about a $200,000 car. kwati elo mwalyapo inkoko pa myenu waisa ne bonzo panse…

  24. hh & gbm are too boastful to be leaders. i dont how they will treat the poor once they are elected. everyday talking abt wealthy.

  25. GBM has moved his business to South Africa! What business can this childish man move to that sophisticated economy! Looking at the way he runs his businesses, he can’t survive in that environment! His primitive way of doing things can only work in a chipante pante economy like Zambia not SA! Give him just 1 year, you will see him running back or he will just sneak back quietly!

    • Well as much as this not good news for many people, but the truth is that indeed he has businesses in SA and even the US for your own information. Besides, you can own a business without necessarily having to run it yourself. GBM has been buying big shares in many companies and hence you yaps like that. He has the brains to invest at least!

  26. Attention ! I MEANT attention seeking indeed.it is like you buy a very expensive shoe and people are not paying attention. So you go round in the compound na chi vuvuzela with your wife and Children announcing how much the shoe cost.It reminds me of my grade 2 english reader book with a story “”The king and his magic suite.””The liked show off sana and some crooks sold him a”” bwamba suite “”.

  27. WHAT A WASTE OF AN ASERNAL IN GBM, IF ONLY HE HAD SOME LITTLE EDUCATION. HE WOULD PERHAPS HAMBLE HIMSELF. IT IS DIFFICULTY FOR A RICH MAN TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

    BUT NI NDALAMA SHA BANOKO? ZAMBIANS CAN NEVER FORGET SUCH ARROGANCE.

  28. Ba GBM you are a cabbage and cannot compete with Sampa. Just ask yourself how many votes your supporters gave HAHA in the presidential election. If you were popular as you claim you would not be clinging to your parliamentary seat through a court injunction. Grow up you elephant tummy.

  29. WHAT SHALL IT PROFIT A MAN TO GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD YET LOSE HIS SOUL IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. THIS CAN OLNY HAPPY TO A RICH FOOL AS THE BIBLE PUTS IT. I PRAY THAT THIS MAN IS EQUALLY A SPRITUAL HEAVY WEIGHT OTHERWISE WE MAY NOT SEE HIM AT THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST IF HE CONTINUES WALKING HIS USUAL PATH OF FOOLISHNESS!

  30. That is childish way of boasting! Why put it public as if every one will have a stake in the vehicle! GBM what is the problem?

  31. I don’t know why but I detest people that go public when they buy presents for their loved ones. What are they trying to prove? Here is the hubby who barely speaks with his wife at home, but sends his wife a bouquet of flowers to her office on Valentine’s day. I think, in my opinion, it is all cosmetic and very wrong. Reminds me of a child who goes out with a chicken bone to show off to friends! What message are you trying to send out?

  32. This gbm boy is a total lunatic, completely void of etiquette and modesty. I feel sorry for THE wife, sure how can you also stoop so low to the level of your senseless flabber hubby?

  33. GBV,be born again,Repent and receive CHRIST ,u are too petty in doing things ,u need the guidance of the HOLY SPIRIT.u think u are the only ZAMBIAN who have invested in SA,FOOLS will always go around the whole world declaring who they are.

  34. Ba GBM naimwe mwilayumfwa, tamulakula nanomba mumatontonkanyo!! I had so much respect on you but you have disappointed me, to remind you the LORD preserves the faithful, and fully repays the proud person, be of good courage and example to others God gives and he taketh, ala chilaleta umusebanya Lesa nga apokolola akokwete…

  35. Zambians need to wake up!! People at the top are making themselves rich and not distributing the wealth! Even in England top politicians don’t own cars that expensive yet a developing country has people who own cars like that!! Think!! It doesn’t make sense, it’s proof that Zambia has money but it’s not shared out equally, we are making foreigners and people at the top richer and the poor stay poor!! WAKE UP!! #UZIP

  36. GBM, have you read the story in the Bible about the Rich Fool who was boastful? In Bemba we say: “Icuma masamba ya calo”. Never be proud of earthly wealth around you because one day those things will remain when yuo are no more. The only property that one can boast of is the Everlasting life that God has prepared for each one of us as long as one is righteous. My advise to you GBM, never boast about what you have today because you will never know what tomorrow will bring to you! We have seen people who were extremely rich, but today they don’t have even a bicycle!

  37. I understand they have money and can do as they please with it. Maybe cars is there niche because he got her a car then she gets him a car. It all too artificial for me and makes me assume she can’t think outside the box or has no imagination. With all that money she could have taken him to Paris for a weekend and serenaded him on top of the Eiffel Tower but that’s just me lol. Maybe she could have said husband my gift to you, I am choosing a school for young girls and using this money to pay for 10 girls who need financial aid in tuition fees, uniforms books etc and all this will being your name and honor. Maybe its a line from the movies but you’d think for once someone would think like that. Anyways let them show off after all its their money. Fraudulently earned or not 😉
