Drunkenness among PF leadership has destroyed the governance system in Zambia-Mumba

MMD President Dr Nevers Mumba has charged that high levels of drunkenness among the top leadership of the Patriotic Front has destroyed the governance system in the country which has descended to pathetic levels of shoddy and reckless actions and public pronouncements, mostly for shameful political expediency and cheap propaganda.

Dr. Mumba who is also Founder and President of Victory Bible Ministries International quoted from Proverbs 31:4-5 which says

“It is not for kings to drink wine, nor for rulers to crave beer, lest they drink and forget what the law deecrees and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.”

He said it was very clear that high levels of alcohol abuse among top leaders in PF have resulted in making some extremely questionable decisions which have deprived many citizens of their democratic rights and caused a lot of suffering among the poor.

Speaking at a mammoth joint UPND/MMD/UDF/ADD rally to drum uo support for Hakainde Hichilema in Mongu on Saturday afternoon, Dr Mumba appealed to those charged with looking after the lives of the millions of suffering Zambians and the affairs of the country to avoid excessive drinking and turning serious institutions like State House, the seat of Goverment, into a beerhall or tarvern as serious decisions that have far-reaching implications on the lives of Zambians are made there.

He said it can only be in a state of drunken stupor that a leader can get up and re-name a university which does not exist where not even one brick has been laid, or talk about infrastructure development projects including King Lewanika University in Western Province or Mongu Stadium when such institutions do not exist but give the nation the impression that these institutions actually exist all in a desperate effort to win votes from unsuspecting Zambians.

Dr. Mumba said it is better to honor the memory and legacy of late President Frederick Chiluba by emulating his great record of democratic freedoms such as freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, free press which the PF is systematically destroying.

Dr. Mumba asked the enthusiastic crowd in attendance at the Mongu rally to ‘sontapo’ or point where the King Lewanika University or Mongu Stadium were to which the crowd roared ‘ki buhata fela’ (its lies).

He said as it was in 1963, when all Zambians put their selfish and personal ambitions aside in order to achieve a bigger common goal which was Zambia’s political independence, likewise, he and others had decided to put their own personal political ambitions aside, in the manner that late ANC President Harry Nkumbula, a Tonga, had done for Kenneth Kaunda, a Bemba, and rally behind the candidature of Hakainde Hichilema as president, to save the country from collapse.

Dr Mumba therefore called on the people of Western Province to be serious in the coming General Election and vote carefully for a sober, intelligent person like Hakainde Hichilema as president to be in charge of steering the affairs of Zambia out of the current economic quagmire.

He chided the group calling itself ‘Christians for Lungu’ that genuine Christians can only be for God and not for an individual and advised them to only champion the cause for God to avoid cheapening Christianity.

    • What is interesting is that Obama is big at booze so is his cousin in Kenya President Kenyatta. Talk of the likes of Tanzanian immediate past President General Kiwete, yet their countries are doing exceptionally well because they took over strong performing economies. Lungu took over a country with zero economic lifeline but unbalanced imports orientated economic structure. In real applied economics, what could anyone do in just 1 year to significantly set the trajectory. Outside utopia we know that economic development is a spasmodic process being a country that recklessly privatized with impunity all factors of production or economic lifeline.
      FYI, 75% of Zambians drink including your fellow ex-communicated Bishop Mambo and Lubonde. The same drinking Zambians are voters. Welcome to…

    • Get it from here, Welcome to democracy and not theocracy.
      Note, 75% of Zambians drink including your fellow ex-communicated Bishop John Mambo, and Lubonde. The same drinking Zambians are voters you will have to face.

    • THAT IS THE NEVERS MUMBA THAT THE PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN. NEVERS MUMBA THAT STANDS FOR TRUTH AND MORALITY REPRESENTING THE PEOPLE WOTHOUT FEAR. THANK YOU BA PASTOR.

    • Ba Senior Citizen,,,,
      In an attempt to play smart you forgot to be clever. You have admitted that Kenya and Tanzania are doing well? Boy, you got my day made. Look at what is happening in your country. Your country is deteriorating by the hour! It should not matter who is drunk in other countries because their economies are doing better. Your government has failed! That is the point, young man! it is the economy stup!d.

    • WELL SAID BROTHER MUMBA. SONS OF THE DEVIL ALWAYS PLANT CONFUSIONS. LUNGU IS A CLEAR SON OF SATAN BECAUSE HE HAS SPILLED INNOCENT BLOOD SINCE HE BECAME PRESIDENT OF ZAMBIA. HIS QUEST FOR POWER HAS MADE HIM DRUNK, CAUSING GREAT COMMOTION IN OUR COUNTRY. WE WANT TO VOTE FOR HH AND THE UPND TEAM SO THAT WE CAN RESTORE THE PEACE WHICH OUR FORE FATHERS FOUGHT FOR, AND WHICH IS NOW BEING ERODED BY THIS SON OF THE DEVIL, THIS BLOODY-THIRSTY DRUNKARD KAMINAMINSA EDGAR CHAKOLWA LUNGU. KICK OUT THE LUNGU POLIO FROM STATE HOUSE THIS AUGUST. VIVA CHANGE VIVA!

  1. Pastor Mumbwe just go back to the pulpit. You are better off a pastor than politician. You really sack at politics.

    • Sontapo is a reincarnation of Donchi Kubeba…. It’s all deception, lies, dupery, slyness, con artistry that is the lifeline and hall mark of PF.

      everything sontapo is built on a big lie…..sontalling things that are fake as they are from choking kaloba

      Sontapo = Donchi Kubeba 90 day lies

  2. This pastor is great, and he his fearless. Let’s accept that a lot of things are going wrong in this country. Let us not allow the country to be destroyed for the sake of one person continuing in power at the expense of destroying state institutions the way president Lungu and PF have done.

  3. Ba Pastor, mwalanda bwino. I had negative thoughts about you when you nearly went to bed with PF. Now i respect you because PF has destroyed Zambia and you are telling the people the truth.

  4. All of you who use insults whether for Pastor Mumba or not lack intellectual capacity to debate objectively.

  5. We agree with you Sefula, he made the right decision to support UPND. Any honest and objective person can see that our country is being destroyed.

  6. Given that the PF President is a well known drunkard it is taboo for PF leadership to stay sober. As the Chinese would say “the fish rots from the head downwards”. So the PF leadership is doing well, drinking away while the Zambian economy burns. Thanks to our dear leader for leading by example. Ifintu niLungu!

  7. Please Mumba save your bible quotes for the brainwashed congregations in churches…were you not the selfsame individual who joined forces with these selfsame drunks a couple of months ago.

  8. Dr Mumba, if you search your heart & tell the truth you will be able to see that President Lungu is only one pushing for rights of Zambians. Name a president in Zambia that has diluted his own powers by introducing a new constitution. Name a president who is now pushing for enhanced bill of rights to hold GRZ accountable. You’re fighting for HH who is saying nothing about the rights of the people but himself. You’re even ashamed to say anything about GBM. You can’t separate the 2. You’ve become blind sir! Hope you’ll find your way back to Truth someday

  9. The Pastor is my friend so shan’t comment even though I am not using my real name. What I shall say is this “I am team ECL.”

  10. The Pastor is a great orator and public speaker unlike these drunk chaps who just stammer around that you need an ‘ interpreter’ to understand then. Zambians can drink but a drunkard cannot be a leader, thats what the Bible says and it is not debatable. THEREFORE GOD CANNOT CHOOSE A DRUNKARD TO LEAD A NATION. Only those who masquerade and blasphem God can say so. Their end is disgraceful. They even start to fear their own media cameras and choose what angles to show. Very soon they will be shown from ‘ file pictures’ when they are still present.
    KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR STARTED EATING GRASS. Thats what God does to people who think they are chosen when infact they are drunken violent vindictive thugs.

  11. ‘Genuine Christians can only be for God and not for Lungu’ but himself is for HH. Wat a contradiction, He must go back to the pulpit.

  12. You can’t save two masters at a go pastor Mumbai plz. Darkness and light shall never meet.What a stance? So shamelessly, does it mean you have not learnt a lesson when his exellence mwanawasa brought you down from a vice presidency to nothing. U will never make a good political leader but ku pulpit. You v lost it in MMD n u think u will make it in upnd, apana wewe.

  13. I want to repeat what I have been saying over and over again. Pastor Mumba should go back to the Pulpit. He wants “Christians for Lungu” not to support Lungu because Christians should be for God. Pastor Mumba you are supporting and campaigning for HH as a Pastor. Wait a minute even Pastor Mususu or is it Mususa is also supporting HH indirectly. Bishop Mambo is supporting HH. Come on Pastor be original and go back to where you belong. You are being too inconsistent and bringing the name of God into disgrace. Please remove the Pastor tag then you will be fine. You are the one who is being too hypocritical. Remember the Bilbe also warns about hypocrites who thing they know the Bible more than everyone else.

  14. What happened to Nevers Mumba? politics make people become shameless and one such is Nevers Mumba.
    You are embarrassing the christian fraternity. You failed to organize and revive the MMD from internal struggles how much more a nation? Looking for a job from HH? hahahahahah. Do we not all seek for jobs, Nevers you are not the exception.

    • This same liar stole from a client and the Law Association of Zambia stopped him being a lawyer. Also me na sontapo

  15. Pwahahahahahaha! See? that’s why we say politics beclouds the reasoning of even the so called “upright”. Each time Nevers Mumba opens his mouth, a chill sense of evil, bitterness, arrogance, judgement, naivety and evil inspired pathological lies pour out of that once honourable mouth that cursed the devil. Behold now out of his own bitterness, he stands to discredit by way of judging, people he knows little about . Taking a Christian to attack his fellow Christians involved in politics. The devil and its agent HH must be smiling at the confusion and devouring of the so called “Christians”. Only God knows. I wonder if the former Pastor/Veep/Diplomat/MMD president ever talks to his God the way he used to. I wonder what kind of nights he has. However we choose to Imagine Nevers’ life,…

  16. Nevers, it seems now you have said goodbye to respect for authorities. One expects at least a small degree of humility, alas! Those things don’t mean anything to you now. All you want is to get personal satisfaction from this new path of life’s journey you have embarked on, no matter the cost; even if it means insulting your leaders.

    It is not too late for you to repent and return to your normal self.

  17. I think, without condoning what he did before or whether he is a reformed leader, most of what Dr Mumba has espoused herein, makes a lot of sense. Lets be objective and accept when one has made some good points instead of reacting from the cuff because we don’t like them in the firsst place.

  18. Dununa Dununa Reverse! Ayee Dununa Reverse Dununa Reserve chiveka kabotu badala alimwi wa nwamo ha castle lite awe shuwa ugapitilile mu kafubu kwati Handende Hangoma

  19. WELL SAID BROTHER MUMBA. SONS OF THE DEVIL ALWAYS PLANT CONFUSIONS. LUNGU IS A CLEAR SON OF SATAN BECAUSE HE HAS SPILLED INNOCENT BLOOD SINCE HE BECAME PRESIDENT OF ZAMBIA.

KICK OUT THE LUNGU POLIO FROM STATE HOUSE THIS AUGUST. VIVA CHANGE VIVA!

  20. Religion is the opium of the masses.
    Get Christianity Mr Nevers Mumba and ditch religiousness and you will be free. Jesus was accused of being a winebibber and a friend of sinners. Do you think He was drinking grape juice?
    Some condemn others for drinking alcohol, but they themselves are overweight for gluttony and greedy for filthy lucre.

  21. PLEASE BA ZNBC, TIMES OF ZAMBIA AND DAILY MAIL PLEASE SHOW NEWS FROM OPPOSITE SIDE OTHER THAN PF, PF, LUNGU, LUNGU. YOU HAVE LOST THE DIRECTION. MMD GOVERNMENT WAS EVEN MUCH BETTER WE SAW SATA VS LATE MWANAWAHESU LEVY SHOWN, WE SAW LATE SATA AND RB CAMPAGNS. LATE SATA USED TO INSULT AND COULD BE CAPTURED BUT WHY TODAY YOU BEHAVE LIKE KAMBWILI WHO DOES A LOT OF HARM TO MANY ZAMBIANS. WHEN WE COME IN POWER ON 11 AUGUST, WE ARE GOING TO PRIVATIZED TIMES AND DAILY MAIL THEN CHUCK OUT SOME PF SYMPATHIZERS. MULETULANGAFYE PAMAFI YABOTWAKANA

  22. @Taliban! That Mongu, kalabo road is not a PF project but MMD! You are not talking to people who came to Zambia today.
