Suspended MMD National Secretary Mwansa Mwansa Mbulakulima has charged that MMD President Nevers Mumba acted emotionally when he announced an alliance with the UPND.

Commenting on the alliance, Mr Mbulakulima said Dr Mumba should have reflected on his political and personal life before running to UPND.

Mr Mbulakulima said Dr Mumba has not solved any of his many problems by resolving to form an alliance with the UPND.

“Mumba should have reflected through his MMD leadership bumpy journey,” he said.

Mr Mbulakulima said Dr Mumba should have first of all resolved his problems and gone as a clean man to the UPND because even where he went he would find his enemies who left him.

He said the twelve former Members of Parliament who recently endorsed and joined the UPND left the party because they did not agree with the leadership style of Dr Mumba and now he would find them in UPND.

Mr Mbulakulima said Dr Mumba’s journey from the time he took over the MMD presidency from former Republican President Rupiah Banda his journey had always been bumpy up to date.

He said Dr Mumba had only taken his problems to the UPND following his decisions to back president Hichilema.

“I know Mumba very well. I don’t think this decision has come from deep down his heart.

“He (Mumba) has acted emotionally to what happened in Kabwe at the convention. We have talked about this issue before with him (Mumba) and I know that the decision did not come from his heart but he has emotionally reacted,” Mr Mbulakulima said.

Yesterday the MMD leader decided to officially sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema with the sole purpose of working together ahead of the August 11 general elections.

The MoU stipulated that the two political parties should continue working out modalities of furthering their partnership.

Dr Mumba said the national executive committee (NEC) had convened last week in Chibombo and unanimously resolved to form an alliance with the UPND ahead of the August 11 general elections.

  1. No, he saw that Lungu has no vision, is clueless, fails to stop violence even though he is commander-in-chief, condones abuse of PoA and corruption…has run the economy down and now we have to dance to IMF…need we say more?

    • He may have done, but that was the only viable course of action.

      ANyone sane, which it seems you are not Mbulakulima – If your suspension is anything to go by, doesnt see.

      It was either that, or was going to be undermined by both RB, PF and your illegal MMD faction.

      Thanks

    • I can see Mbulakulima has a soft spot in his heart for Dr Mumba. I suggest you go and sit down and have a chat with him……….it’s not too late and there are no permanent enemies in politics.

    • Nevers Mumba has done what any of his critics would have done if they were in his shoes. He took the Zero Option which was the only option on the table after Rupia and Mutati cunningly snatched and ran away with the other option while Mumba was still nervously scratching his head for choice.

    • Mr Obatala are you seeing the crowds that ECL is ammassing where ever he goes.
      Ni Lungu Chabe. Hate hate will not make hh president
      Zambians know what they want. It is Edgar Chagwa Lungu, Kwasila

    • He is so desperate. Mumba actually accepted a job in the diplomatic service which president Lungu offered him. He didn’t go because of a few technicality problems. And from his speech yesterday it is clear to see that he is in UPND as a job seeker. Desperation can make some people to lose their moral compass. Time he went back to the church.

    • That is a wise decision by Dr Mumba. We want people in Govt that can work for people of Zambia so that Zambia gets back to its feet again and take the nation forward. Zambia is for all loving Zambians and not just a few who are seen busy bringing the nation down. The message to fellow Zambians is that we must stop voting for people into public offices on compassionate grounds. we made a mistake voting for Rupia Banda after Mwanawasa’s passing on, and history repeated itself by voting for ECL into office after Sata’s death. Under the reigns of Rupia and ECL the country has horribly gone down because of their corrupt minds. Let’s all support this alliance and for vote for change. We want a better Zambia for all. YES ZAMBIANS WE CAN DO IT AGAIN.

    • Common guys!!
      These many defectors are giving HH a serious intense headache and chizwezwe.
      HH already had enough problems before the defectors joined him.
      Now, they are stepping on his sole, adding more agony and pain to the already ailing man.
      These guys are confusinf the Business Man (HH).
      In the business world, that is not how we do it. There is order, not this way of behaving.
      In the industry we plan and strategize; we carry out feasibility studies, market research, and sometimes even test the environment.
      But in politics thing just happen, and you have to move forward – too confusing. There is no time to research, because you just finish your plan the environment changes; you just complete your feasibility study everything changes – you have to start afresh. You just pronounce…

    • …. you just complete your feasibility study everything changes – you have to start afresh. You just pronounce your 10 point plan then you realize you need just one – and it is not among the points you have just announced.
      That is why the idea of forward seems to be taking people backwards.

  2. But you Mbulakulima even acted more emotionally considering immediately after Mutati was elected, RB rushed to offer solidarity to the PF and you announced within hours that you will back the PF. At least Mumba waited for the disappointment before making the jump. Love him or hate him. He still takes to the UPND a number of followers just like Mutati takes with him a number of followers to PF. Whoever is hurt with the others decision should chew on some live ZESCO cables. Its game on

    • Dr Never MUMBA is a man of integrity who brought in the idea of rebranding the MMD and play clean and straight politics to light up the tunnel, but the corrupt minds did not receive that very well. And so they started to frustrate him and pull his leadership down. But bazalema cabe. This man stood firm in all hard times the Party has gone through while they themselves were running away from the hit that the party faced under PF. They should blame themselves , infact they should be praising Dr Mumba for saving the MMD today from the spoils of PF.

    • The most senseless thing to happen this week was Mutati wrestling the MMD Presidency from Mumba and immediately surrendering the MMD corpse to Chakolwa. What was Mutati thinking?! He could have maintained a semblance of dignity by claiming that he was too late to contest and would instead support his Parliamentary candidates. As it is, there is absolutely no reason for MMD to contest any parliamentary seats because that would mean not supporting PF.

  3. You have supported PF,connived with sneaky Rupiah and you have the audacity to condemn your friend?Come on brother,be real.Shame and you and your camp. Desperate men trying to make a living out of politics all of you.

  4. Nevers is a man of confusions, he was invited to attend the convention so that he could prove his worth but he declined knowing very well that he would loose, so instead of seating down with the other faction to iron out issues , he hurriedly goes to UPND. Really what is he solving?It is like burrying his head in the sand because this issue of two MMD factions will not just go away like that, the sooner they seat down the better blaming each other won’t help maters. The Nec members he is talking about are unconstitutional because their mandate ended this year so he is waisting his little political time.

    • but the NEC has the power to change and make policies of the party by the mandate given to them. only because their plans of hijacking the leadership did not work then Dr Mumba is a problem. And the MMD NEC followed the law. So, who is breaking law btwn MMD NEC and the MMD faction?

  5. all of you in MMD and indeed all the major parties are obsessed with ruling such that they are all losing objectivity. what is in ruling that makes people lose their marbles? i have refused to believe its service there is more to politics than meets the eye. how does a man getting 50-60,000 per month dump his job and become an MP an stick to it till he has run 4-5 times as an MP? Dr Mumba is just an example of all of you the Mbulakulimas of this world. what makes me sad is that they are people willing to escort you to your riches whilst they go back to their poverty

  6. I thought you had some integrity but alas, you were only concerned about your stomach then the suffering Zambians

  7. On behalf of all bloggers I would like to take this time to pray for NSM.
    Lord God almighty, we pray on this virtual space that you strenghen your servant one, Nevers Sekwila Mumba, in this political turmoil. We reckon that his spirit is weak at this juncture even as his body looks intact. Stregnthen him emotionally and spiritually, oh Lord ,as he soldiers on in this frenzy packed political arena; The decision of your servant to embark on a political journey seem not to be bearing fruit in our bare eyes but we ask that you open his eyes so that he does not tire on his quest to rule on Zambian soil, if this is your wish. Yes he has declared that “Zambia Shall be Saved”. We the people of Zambia support the spiritual context of this declaration. In Jesus’ name we pray, AMEN

  8. Mumba is not MMD, why is it that there are no known MPs in his camp? It is done and dusted for him. Registrar of Societies recognizes Felix Mutati as MMD president, not Mumba.

  9. I feel sorry for Nevers, our former great televangelist. He was doing very well on the pulpit. I thought he was getting along with ECL going by his attendance of almost all state functions. Oh sorry he felt dribbled when ECL chose Inonge as his running mate.Ifintu fimbi ifi fyaba nabene. You can tell yourself that this thing was never meant for me.

  10. Nervous Mumba is a double widower, Christian Collision and MMD died and he was left to prostitute with PF and lastly UPND.

  11. Nervous has shown he is man of integrity, unlikely those others cunningly supporting PF for their own bellies

  12. Dr. Mumba could have first resigned from MMD and the join upnd. The first thing that comes to my mind is that the man is just there to have PF removed without checking what is in stall for him thereafter. People with such motives are the ones who regret the most. unpd has its own vision but it come to pass that there vision has been diluted by acidic people who have recently joined.
    1. Firstly, all the people joining upnd are chanting that PF must be removed. To me they are moving where they think it is hot. The moment the hotness turns cold they will turn their backs but by that time the charcoal fire is gone.
    2. Secondly, all the people who are joining PF are chanting more development and stability in the leadership. Their source of inspiration is visible to all to see that the PF…

  13. There are two factions in MMD. One led by Mutati who went and held a convention citing the MMD constitution and the Pastor Mumba faction which have refused to hold the convention also citing the MMD constitution. I havent read the MMD constitution so can some one kindly articulate and expound of which one of the two are legitimate MMD office bearers?

  14. UNPD careful with the people who you embrace. How can you leave your own house and go and support your neighbour. Its like moving with money in two pockets. Of course the amount of money will never be the same in both pockets. Of course the money nearer to your hand is for paya one while the other pocket is the main launcher. This man failed in his Ministry, he failed in his own party, he was fired as Republican vice president, he was fired as Ambassador and he has failed to show leadership in his claimed MMD.
    So what value is he bringing to upnd? The answer is FAILER!!!!
    Meaning you were parading FAILER before the people of Zambia. I guess the world is laughing at the cheap politics been exhibited.

  15. These defectors have given HH a serious and intense headache.
    HH already had problems before the defectors joined.
    Now, they are stepping on his sole, adding more agony and pain.
    They have confused the Business Man (HH).
    That is not how we do it in the business world. There is order, not this way.
    in the business world we plan and strategize; we carry out feasibility study, market research, and sometimes test the environment.
    But in politics thing just happen, and you have to move forward – too confusing.
    That is why the idea of forward seems to be taking people backwards.

  16. Pastor Mumba formed NCC then sold it to MMD left MMD joined PF he was rejected in Shiwangandu in Chinsali by his brothers and sisters, rejoined MMD.

  17. Dr Mumba said he would not get into politics because that would be demotion. This was when Brigadier Miyanda had querried the formation of the NCC by Dr. Mumba. The rest is history

  18. SURPRISE SURPRISE..MBULAKULIMA AND MUTATI FAILED TO ATTEND THE PRESS BRIEFING WHICH MUTATI WAS SUPPOSED TO ADDRESS TODAY. NAKACHINDA ENDED UP FUMBLING THROUGH IT LOOKING UNDER GREAT STRESS.

    HOW COME THIS GROUP WERE USING RB CHITENGES?????? JAMES CHONA GIVE US AN ANSWER…DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING YOUNG MAN???? DONT FOLLOW NAKACHINDA BLINDLY …HE IS LETHAL.

  19. On behalf of all bloggers I would like to take this time to pray for NSM.
    Lord God almighty, we pray on this virtual space that you strenghen your servant one, Nevers Sekwila Mumba, in this political turmoil. We reckon that his spirit is weak at this juncture even as his body looks intact.

  20. Welcome Dr Nevers Mumba [We Know You Have What It Takes To Make That Decision,So Please Ignore Noises Coming From Empty Unforecast Mind Lot Of Mbulakulima]
    We Need Vibrant/Sober/Energetic Leaders Like You Alonside HH

  21. I can’t wait for that day when upnd original owners will say thank you for you stupid thieves (Bembas) for helping us kachemas (Tongas) get in power and say now you can go to hail. Its sad there’ll be real wrangles. Am foreseeing GBM, Lupando Mwape, Mulenga Sata, ba Nevers even the young man from Matero East wanting to hijack upnd. This is when war will ensue in UPND. Anyway upnd can’t wait to flush out these vi ba bemba once we go to plot one. These fools have come at a right time. upnd owners please welcome all these fools even if they’ve trampled on us as if they are a super tribe. Ni pa chaanza chabe..

  22. Mr Mbulakulima. You also acted imotionally to surport PF. because Mumba suspended you and your Mutati

  23. Mr Mbulakulima and your Mutati should prepare to meet Mumba after 11th August. Zambians have resolved to get rid of PF. How can your PF use civil servant’s salries to sponsor their campaign launch?Civil servants are annoyed. Remember PF subjected them to a 2 years wage freeze after which PF gave them peanuts as salary increaments, which some teachers are not geting up to now. Go to Chipata DEBS and confirm if you think Iam lying.Teachers with degrees in Chipata and Petauke districts are still getting primary/diploma teachers’ salaries while their colleagues, whom they got degrees with at the same universities, in other districts have been upgraded.CBU and UNZA was clozed and this will make make those who were supposed to gradiuate this year not to graduate,Farmers are buying faming…

    • Which Zambian naiwe!Are you politically very blind such that you can not see how ECL is attracting crowds where ever he goes?There is nothing of value that Nevers has brought to UPND but only confusion.These useless alliances and MoUs HH is excited about will come to haunt him after 11 August. How can you sign so many MoUs with different parties without setting out proper agendas? This is desperations at its worst on the part of HH and he seems to have now lost directions. ECL is miles better than the under 5 and his cronies.

  24. Let him join the bunch of pension criminals and privatization looters. HACHIMONA mulekeni. Zambia shall be free, has failed him. He abandoned the word of God for material sake. Is now with 5 + 2016 losers. Let hh tell us how he acquired his bogus wealth. WHEN AND HOW?

  25. Here we go again1 Another politician thinking of his stomach. Mumba is looking for a job. A principled person especially having been a PRESIDENT of a party, wouldn’t have signed the MoU with UPND. He would have received some sympathy. This sour grapes! No principles! From UPND he will go to PF. Ba Mumba just go back to the church. You wrestled the MMD Presidency. You she know that whatever Gid has set aside for you will come to pass. Don’t take things by force!
