MMD President Nevers Mumba says has extended an olive branch to members who have offended the party in the past and are currently under disciplinary action with a condition that they sign a covenant declaring their royalty to the party.
Speaking at a media briefing Wednesday morning Dr Mumba said the party has given the offenders two weeks to repent and rejoin the party.
He said some people have been asking for clemency to be allowed to participate in the forth coming elections but that they will only be readmitted once they pledge their royalty to the party.
In order to accommodate those who are remorseful and yet passionate about their party, we have extended the olive branch for the next week’s.
The door remain wide open to those willing to come and sign a peace covenant making a declaration of commitment to the party, it’s values and it’s leadership. The next two weeks therefore shall be dubbed as a season of forgiveness and reconciliation for those who would like to build and prepare the party for the August elections. This is time to put away our hatchets and start a new day as a family, ” Dr Mumba said.
And the opposition leader said the current NEC of the party will only be dissolved by when a new NEC is installed.
“I also wish to confirm that the NEC is the highest organ of the party and the only organ mandated by the Constitution to decide the date of any special gatherings of the party including the convention. The current NEC remains firmly in control of the party and will only be dissolved when a new NEC is installed at a time and place decided by the current NEC in line with our constitutional provision,” he said.

Very lonely man there. Nevers, just go to Edgar Lungu and ask for a job. You may get one just before August 11th when he too will be out on the streets looking for a job. Act quickly. It’s never too late!
It is so lonely to be in the party alone…..besides you need people to stand as MPs, shame you have alienated every true MMD member…..the end of the movement. At least your task is done. UNIP urshered in independence. MMD urshered in multiparty. PF made the nation patriotic. Next the UPND will develop the nation. What a wonderful lineage we have. Proudly Zambian.
What a dreamer! Doesn’t he get it yet????
BUT MMD IS DEAD! DEAD IS MMD. WHAT VALUE IS THERE IN JOINING A DEAD PARTY LIKE MMD OR PF? ZAMBIA IS NOW GOING FORWARD. IT IS HH THIS TIME AROUND. IT IS TEAM UPND WHICH IS COMPOSED OF PROGRESSIVE ZAMBIANS.
What a clueless leader.
So Nevers thinks of himself as ROYALTY of the party.
The olive branch must be dry by now as it has been extended for too long now. The issue is that Mr Mumba you do not seem to have a position on any matter, hence you remain fluid just in case. Typical of “kwalola umwela…”.
Comment:That’s the spirit of leadership.
Leadership? Leading whom and where?
Maybe it is you Mumba who needs forgiving. What kind of shepherd are you who have no flock? You offended alot of members by your intolerance to divergent views. Now how do you extend an olive branch with preconditions? That is meaningless.
I am still typing………..
Well done Dr. Mumba, you have really tried to keep the broken pieces together otherwise that MMD would have been washed away by now. Its time you left it to someone else to join those broken pieces you have kept together for a long time though African history is against your party. In Africa once a party is voted out of power, it goes to recycled bin and never comes back because prosperity of a party depends on govt funds and sympathisers’ funds with strong personal interests once it forms govt. UNIP is an example which is at the bottom of the league.
MMD and FDD are same they are saleouts, we cant trust Nevers anymore. Bena Chituwo dont go back to MMD. Stay were you are (UPND) if you want to build up your career in politics. Nawakwi & Nevers are after money. My appeal to members of MMD & FDD please join UPND the party coming to power on 11 Aug.2016.
they are saleouts because they have recieved to join UPND??????
@ amagenge
And if they join PF, they are not saleouts?
You are a leader if people are willing to follow you. Nevers has been deserted by his followers. It means he is not a leader.
Yaba. Very embarrasing for the good pastor mwe. So all that time he was busy dishing out utu ma expulsion he was thinking ama members ba new bakamenafye anyhow kwati bowa mu mainsa?
Laso , niwe mambala sana, imbafu shakalipa mukuseka – ati “ukumena kwati bowa mu mainsa!!!”
Nevers is destined for a NERVOUS BREAKDOWN. He is another Shaka Zulu in the making.
If nevers was to be likened to somebody in the bible, who was he going to be?
Is it “ROYALTY TO THE PARTY” or “LOYALTY TO THE PART”? Anyway I forgot that I was reading an article LT
@Flagrante Delicto.
LOL….you said..”I was reading an article LT”…you thought you were clever! But you are NOT that clever after all – it should be “….reading an LT article” and NOT an “…reading an article LT”. Just like a pot calling a kettle black!
a leader without followers is like a forest without shrabs that is de state of nevers mumba.nevers is a failed man of god so even politically until that time he wil remember where he had fallen.
The Man will soon run out of olive branches to offer kikiki
LT why are u blocking my comments
Ba Pastor please go back to the pulpit you are an evangelist a man of God and not a politician. You have embarrassed yourself enough
yaba..this man is a joker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Breaking news: God extends Olive branch to rebel Mumba
Pastor Mumba you also need to repent and rejoin the flock that you abandoned. You will have to rejoin the church as a common church member given the offenders two weeks to repent and rejoin the party.
God has been asking you back and he hopes to give you clemency to be allowed to participate and be ready to enter his Kingdom. He will be happy only be readmitted once they pledge their royalty to him through Jesus Christ.
In order for him to accommodate those you you have to show that you are remorseful and yet passionate about Jesus. God has extended the olive branch for the next week’s and he has been for a long time.
After realising the shortfall of voters to accompany Nevers during the filing day, he is calling back members who have long gone to join other parties.
Agony is when Nevers thinks voters out there will run to MMD when in fact there is none to follow him in MMD.
NERVOURS KATWISHI NGA NI NERVERS! OVER PLAYED HIS HAND AND DOES NOT REALISE THAT THE MARE MENTION OF A WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PF HAS COST MMD ANY POLITICAL GOODWILL THE PARTY MIGHT HAVE HAD LEFT. HIS BLIND AMBITION AND QUEST FOR SIGNIFICANCE LED HIM TO BE DESPERATE AND ONCE HE SIGNALED THAT HE WAS WILLING TO WORK WITH THE PF A PARTY RRESPONSIBLE FOR THE LEVELS OF UNTOLD MISERY THE PEOPLE ARE FACING. ITS OVER FINISH. NOW THE ONLY WAY FORWARD IS TO HOLD A CONVENTION OTHERWISE MUMBA WILL SOON HAVE A “NASHALA NEKA PARTY”!!! PROVE YOUR LIGITIMACY AND HOLD A CONVENTION. MUMBA NEEDS THE REBEL MPS MORETHAN THEY NEED HIM. THE WAY THINGS ARE ALL MUMBA HAS LEFT IS SOME CHITENGE STOCK AND SOME SLOGANS THAT IS ALL HE BRINGS TO LUNGU NOW!
11 / 8 it’s UPND VS PF .. Other smaller parties have been swallowed by the two parties.
just that he has no credible candidates to stand on his party mmd.
How does Nevers sleep at night? Or how does he feel to be known as the one who kills political parties? Remember NCC, Reform party and now MMD appears to be going the same way as a party soon to die? Its a tall order to imagine that MMD will win any seats during the August 11 polls in its present state. I am surprised that Nevers and his cohorts do not see this. The only hope for Nevers is to enter this alliance with PF in a new party to be known as MMD-PF. Atleast the name MMD will still remain in that setting. This amnesty in the old MMD is alright provided they all trek to this new party.
NATIONAL CHRISTIAN COLLISION (N.C.C first phase party), NATIONAL CITIZEN COLLISION PARTY (N.C.C Second phase party), REFORM PARTY (R.P third phase party), NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC FOCUS (N.D.F fourth phase party) MOVEMENT FOR MULTIPARTY DEMOCRACY (M.M.D Firth phase party) TOTAL 05 Failed Political parties for Dr. Nevers Sekwila Mumba. AS Man of God or a Prophet i still see the heavy hand of God protecting this Evangelist in the name of Mumba, therefore treat him with extra care the anointing of is still on this man. Ask clement Andaleki who wanted to De-register MMD, MUMBA IS TILL THERE CLEMENT ANDALEKI IS GONE; “A righteous man will fall Seven times; Seven times will he also arise! I Prophesy the RAISE of Nevers Mumba to Political Glory ! He has only failed 5 parties remaining with 2 more…
Yaba i pitty this man it seems wht evr he does in his political life seems not to work out he suspended all the members who had diferent views hopng to get new members but he atracted non now he is recaling those he suspended i will wait and see who will go back but if i where him i would have stoped politics and do other things it seems to me politics is not his caling
What we need is olive oil and not olive branches.
Poor Dr Mumba! While his fellow Leaders are striving, huffing and puffing …..spending sleepless night plotting for electoral success……he is busy administering Plaster to hold his party together. Seemingly, he us not aware there us an election coming ….soon!
What can God say to his man? Mumbai get a grip!
