THE Government has distanced itself from a statement attributed to Patriotic Front (PF) deputy general secretary Mumbi Phiri in which she alleged that Mulenga Sata and former first lady Christine Kaseba-Sata connived to kill late President Michael Sata as quoted in yesterday’s edition of The Post newspaper.
Government has since apologised to the Sata family for the statement, which could have injured the former first family.
Minister of Information and Broadcasting Services Chishimba Kambwili said at a Press briefing in Lusaka yesterday that the sentiments did not reflect the position of the Government on the Sata family.
“We render an apology to the Sata family and we can only wish them well,” Dr Kambwili said.
The minister said the Government had appreciated Dr Kaseba and her family.
Dr Kambwili said the former first lady was instrumental in the formation of the PF and that she contributed a lot to its growth in subsequent years.
He said the same could not be said about Mulenga Sata, who did not attend any meetings during the formation of the ruling party and could not be said to have been a founder member of the PF.
Dr Kambwili said the PF leadership respected Mr Mulenga Sata’s decision to defect to the opposition United Party for National Development because it was his democratic right.
He said party members who were defecting were not attached to the party and that only genuine members would remain because their goal was to render a service to Zambians.
Dr Kambwili said the Government had information that some more PF members planned to defect to opposition parties when Parliament dissolves.
He said the leadership in the party could not force people to remain in the PF because service was a personal choice which each individual had to make.
mumbi Phiri!! this is Edgar´s best friend, you see now. I hope muka yama can sue this nosy twit
she is a crazy woman
This Chakolwa Samalama’s girlfriend is indeed high on something. Now she’s bringing her own late mother in to try & tarnish the contributions of the African National Congress to Zambia’s independence. How far should we allow this tribal nonsense as personified by Mumbi Phiri & her kind to go on? She hates people who are not from her tribal grouping but with the same mouth she shouts one zambia.
Government has distanced itself but PF has not. So the Party shares the sentiments and by the way MR Kambwili put it, they are against Mulenga for defecting.
Let the suing begin because she must have evidence that they killed our beloved Sata. The PF should be the ones seeking clarification so that they hold those responsible for Sata’s death accountable. If this is just the vomit of a constipated cadre, please demote her and cage her.
Coming from post news paper I doubt if she ever said it. Post is in business of twisting stories and you need to read it with a pinch of salt.
Are Bembas normal? Why do these people utter the most nonsensical stuff to all and sundry? Is it a genetic disorder that compels them to insult, steal and maim anybody who stands in their way? GBM, Tayali, Mumbwe, Davies Chama, Flaky Bwalya, Chimbwili, even Michael Sata etc Their utterances show a peculiar ethnic problem.
#ChagwaMustFall
Government has distanced itself but PF can not distance itself because those sentiments were coming from the deputy CEO of the party. We have said time and again that Mumbi Phiri has a loose brain. I wonder If she can be so open with her mouth what of her legs????
PF shouldn’t distance themselves after the mouse has been let loose already by Mumbi Phiri. Too late. Actually it was not just about killing Sata but also she was insinuating a sexual relationship between Kaseba and Mulenga by saying such things as “I lift your father” and so on and so forth. Shame on this Pathetic Fabricators (PF). Anyway only 2 more months of PF nonsense.
@Mr Black Teeth, actually Frank Bwalya is a self confessed Tonga. Confirmation you and your tribe ain’t normal.
The woman (Mumbi Phiri) has serious issues!! I couldnt believe what I was reading.. Listen to this:
Translated –
“(I am telling you. So, don’t bother your father. It is you people who are going to kill your father like what Mulenga Sata did. Mulenga planned with his stepmother to kill his father, they are in sh*t)”.
“He doesn’t even have a grade 12 certificate and he is being stupid. We need to ask his mother, it is only the mother who knows the father of the child),” Mumbi said.
And Mumbi said there was nothing wrong with a widow or widower remarrying after the death of their spouse (I agree with that). “He can marry if he wants and bear children, is it a crime?” Mumbi asked, as one of the women responded saying “I can beat the woman who can marry my father.”
“But I can…
contd…
“But I can beat you up until you sh*t)” Mumbi continued. I can beat you and tell you that it is your father I lift. You have never met an aggressive woman before. I am the one dealing with your father. I can kill you because going to jail is even better..”!!!
Wow!! The woman is not normal, for real. Nothing further to say.

Mumbi is the definition of a badly brought up girl. Very bad mannered. How did she know all this information?? Something fishy here. It might actually been her
There is an under-current here from her days in diplomatic service. She holds Christine responsible for her recall. The truth of the matter is that staff (including fellow cadres) complained about her condescending attitude towards them. So, the late Sata decided to humble her through a recall. But even within the party two women how are considered scatterbrains are Jean and Mumbi.
Ici cisolola cibosa bosa fye nge mbwa iili ne fumo and some fools think they have leaders in this rabies carrying dog? How can you be bringing an innocent and respected woman into your vomits? Kaseba has led a very quiet life and has multiplied her self respect a hundred fold to deserve such insults from a barking dog.
We dare toothless Edgar to fire mumbi because if this
Mr. Kambwili not Dr. Kambwili–get that right LT.
I also don’t understand why they are calling this illiterate chipaziii a Dr…..its a disgrace to the doctorate title!
Of course he is a Doctor – I mean a Witch Doctor!!
Eishii, I also don’t understand why they are calling this illiterate chipaziii a Dr…..its a disgrace to the doctorate title!
Can all real Dr file a complaint to the institute that issued this doctorate. Perhaps it should be doctor with a k. Dk Kambwili. A none existent title
A one overzealous Mumbi less will be good for PF
I recommend legal action from Dr Kaseba and Mulenga Sata. This fooli.sh Mumbi PHIRI must be taught a lesson for her careless opening of the mouth always.
Mumbi Phiri is uneducated fellow who deserved to be caged because she is a danger to modern politics.
PF must realize that this poor lady who claim to be educated, is just destroying the chances of the party of even getting a better results.
@ Bahati constituency
“…Mumbi Phiri is uneducated fellow…”
Fellow to whom? You or uneducated Dr. (LOL) Kambwili
Awe Ba Mumbi you went overboard. I hope you won’t try to twist what you said. Out of the depth of the heart the mouth speaks. I believe this is the talk in your circle with his excellency since you have been floricking together. Chishimba is so courageous and has taken it upon himself to do damage control. Ba Kaseba and Chilufya will you please forgive and move on.
Chimbwili is not courageous. If he stayed quiet, Kaseba would have been offended, although I doubt that this is enough to comfort her. The Sata family must feel insulted that monkeys harvesting the maize field that their father planted are now laughing at and insulting them. No wonder Mulenga suggested that his father would be turning in his grave at the turn of events.
#ChagwaMustFall
Let Christine and Mulenga sue this b.itch. She is so used to getting away with any diarrhea that comes out of her mouth.
Garry nkombo was right, this lady is surely high on gemkem, i couldn’t believe her rantings on deadNBC news last night, i just don’t understand why deadNBC is subjecting Zambian to worship chagwa through TV, has he made a decree like that Babylonian king in the Bible during Daniels time, who said all citizens should bow before his statue, that’s what it feels to watch deadNBC, all you see is him and his praise worshippers.
An apology should only be accepted if it comes from an honest and truthful mouth. This is a mob which has refused to apologize for a worse insult on a whole tribe and not just two individuals in a family. Zambians need to rid themselves off this disease called PF!
Its true. Tongas can never vote for Jesus if he stood with HH.Just marry more so that you meet the numbers imwe bakachema
Mumbi your mouth is your greatest enemy. Please term it
“Tame” ba Mr. T
THIS IS WHY I CALL MUMBI PHIRI A SHAME TO SOCIETY. WHY DISTANCE YOURSELF WHEN SHE IS THE DEPUTY SECRETARY??? SHE REPRESENT PF. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE KAPONYAS IN A POLITICAL PARTY – THEY DO NOT HAVE MORALS OR RESPECT FOR OTHERS
I think they cornived to kill the late. These two guys are evil. Just after the death, Mulenga made arrangements to take whilst still in UK.

responded saying “I can beat the woman who can marry my father.”
“But ine kuti nakunyesha (But I can beat you up until you sh*t)” Mumbi continued. “Ine kuti nakunyesha elo nakweba ati eonjimya ni wiso. Tawasangapo ichanakashi ichaaka. Nine dealing’a na wiso iweh! Elo, ine kuti nakwipaya, sentence yabako nabwino. (I can beat you and tell you that it is your father I lift. You have never met an aggressive woman before. I am the one dealing with your father. I can kill you because going to jail is even better…). Anyway, naya nomba… bakashana (I am leaving now, ladies) stay blessed. Look after your marriages, don’t play with them. Men are rare commodities nowadays.”
And Mumbi said there was nothing wrong with a widow or widower remarrying after the death of their spouse.
“Kuti baupwa bafyalafye na bwino bwino, mulandu? Abaume balafwa bwangu… (He can marry if he wants and bear children, is it a crime?” Mumbi asked, as one of the women responded saying “I can beat the woman who can marry my father.”
A narrow mind goes along with a wide mouth. A real thorn in the flesh. Soon she will claim that she was quoted out of context. Be informed that it takes just one voting day to render you jobless and tuned off.
L.T please stop quoting Daily Nation, Times & Daily Mail these are shoddy instruments of this malice government dammit
So what action will the PFools take on this bitch for this slander that has brought PFool into ridicule and contempt if all PFool had any remaining credibility?
That’s a way to go government. A wrong is wrong and it should be condemned. I have seen your maturity and you are guaranteed of my vote. Last month we heard insults from Gbm and no one dared to apologise. What we got was Mr. Kakoma saying that we can’t prove that it was Gbm.
Well done Dr. Kambwili a wrong should be condemned & Mr. Kakoma should hid this advise otherwise your attitude says alot to the electorate.
Dr Kaseba and Mulenga must sue her to provide evidence. Mumbi PHIRI should not be tolerated like a crazy person.
I am even even surprised that it’s govt issuing an apology. Mumbi is not part of govt nor was she speaking in the name of PF. So it’s Mumbi who must apologize if she cannot prove her allegations.
Very right. Mumbi is PF not government but a “very intelligent ” dr says government distances itself. The question is does PF distance itself? Probably not as this is there deputy. No wonder they are treating the late MCS’s best friend Scott like this. They didn’t have respect for the late MCS
Thought this was hearsay from the hair saloon. And then they distance themselves from the comments made?!? So it is true………..?
Actually Kambwili can be sensible at times – he knows how malicious their dogs Mumbwe Phiri and Edgar Lungu are… And Chimbwili is one of those expected to defect to UPND any time after today!!
SHE SHOULD BE FIRED AS A MINISTER ! SHE IS NOTHING BUT A TROUBLE MAKER !
Read where is she the minister? shut up
He says government and not PF distances itself. This is their deputy secretary and her views hold. She meant what she was saying. The question is: how did she they were planning to do such especially to someone they loved? From the way there are treating everyone close the late MCS, I wouldn’t be surprised if she and others were behind such things
And Gbm’s insults??? So it a true reflection of what upnd is all about???
wat does this have to do with that upnd thing
…Kaseba has been hesitant to follow Mulenga because she did not know how to phrase the reason for defecting…..now the reasons have been given to her on a silver platter…..
Take the fool to court so that she explain produce evidence to her story if she has got one. These are the people we have put in charge who have substance in their heads . The man in Charge is busy consuming cans castle lager .Such issues of such magnitude require a response of the head of state as they are to do with a former head of state . God help Zambia .
Comment:What is it with women in politics.Most of them suffer from mouth diarhoe.
Mumbi Phiri seems to know how the late president died can the Sata fmly take her to court so that she can substatiate her setiment.
is this the way we should Compiegne ,I don’t see any convincing words here which can bring people and join u madam .such words are not words to utter ,u being in government u need to unite people not separating them. in addition to that why where u so quite when u used to eat and drink with mulenga today its when u can come and say such words cos u have part company. I hope that its only people who are making up this story .respect the dead .
Kalasundila mukaputala,stupid lady no manners.
that’s the position of the pf..we know they are happy mumbi phiri brought it out..
If Govt distances it self,then show your self starting at the Top i.e The President must distance himself by not walking shoulder to shoulder with Mumbi Phiri as he does.
What you people must know is that Mumbi Phir and Dr. Kaseba are childhood friends. As a matter of facts, Mumbi used to enter even Ms. Kaseba’s bedroom when Sata was still alive. So, what can make them enemies, now. If Guy Scott and HakaivotelaHumuiene are no friends, what can make the two ladies enemies???? Mwanya ba UPND ba koolwee…!!!
Christine and Mulenga MUST SUE THIS LOOSE MOUTHED VUVUZELA FOR SLANDER OR MALICE OR SOMETHING.
How can government apologise when Mumbi Phiri is not member of cabinet? She is a party member and has no role in governance of this country. What a mess this country is in!

Iwe Simata, UPND are now ba kolwe and not bakachema? How many names are they going to have? Get your facts right. Ba kolwe are Northerners or kolwetherners, Easterners are koswetherners so that people from the south become cowtherners! Can you complete for the rest of the regions?
Mumbi Phiri is an embarrassment to women. A kaponya, badly brought up and very bitter. Something happened in her growing up to be so vicious. It is sad really that Zambian women are presented by this woman. What type of home does she run? What about her children and husband. For a woman to utter some of the statements in public, this country is in trouble.
