A check by QFM News crew at the residence this morning found armed Police officers manning the gate to the house.
Police yesterday picked and locked up Mr Mmembe’s wife Mutinta after she allegedly tore a search warrant presented to her by the officers.
The officers raided Mr Mmembe’s residence around 17:00 hours yesterday with a search warrant.
The motive behind the Police raid is not known, though Mrs. M’membe is one of the Directors for The Mast newspaper.
When contacted for a comment, Police Spokesperson Esther Katongo remained tight lipped on the raid, referring all queries to Lusaka province Police Commissioner Nelson Phiri whose mobile phone went answered.
Witch hunt by RB. He has come back with a vengeance. The man is out to get anyone who ruined him.
This crusade has the hallmarks of RB written all over it. The dragnet will spread to Mutembo, Finance Bank and all the people those that were part of, and championed Sata’s upsurge leading to RB being ousted from power. If you are one of them you are in trouble and you need to scamper. Mmembe has to be targeted first because of his potential to stop the RB revolution again. The rest will dance to the RB tune after Mmembe is out of action.
Rubbish!!!
leave RB out of Fred Mweembe’s own mess. Fred is a tin pot dictator who deserves everything that is coming to him.
RB ruined? You must be smoking sewage fumes.
MASTING WITH THE MMEMBES – Episode 2
One thing sure about evil is its never satisfied. After Mmembe who’s next?
Not even Lungu is in control of this behemoth. If we do not stop it now it will devour all of us.
Where are Mmembe’s friends? Where is KK, Malimba Masheke, Wynter Kabimba?
This is no longer about Mmembe, its about this country. We don’t need to wait until Mmembe is killed (& at this rate that will be the only result of this).
We have stood up to tyranny before, we can do it again.
RB at work! People like Mwikwita and Mwamba will be next in the list as RB ,s men want those top jobs from these guys.
In the grand scheme of things RB is ruling by proxy unless Lungu systematicall eliminates RB ,RB will continue to blackmail Lungu to set his son Henry free and allow him to reurn to Zambia. Unfortunately Henry is pushing his dad to force Lungu to give him the South African High commissioner job.
More drama coming in the near future.
Lungu is very sick and will soon die on a trip abroad, mark my words. The stress he is getting from stealing 2016 victory will accelerate his death.
Remember what I say will come to pass doubt my prognosis at peril.
We hear you prophet Wanzelu. BS!
What is the police doing at someone’s house?,,,,,
This is more than just liquidation, it’s turning into political persecution
i couldn’t have been much happier that Mmembe and his family are going thru this nonsense.they had it coming,may they just pay back what they owe us so we move on.they think we are fools,the post,the mast etc..you will feel ECL’s wrath.mukose noku kosa .wether it’s personal or not i don’t care..time has simply caught up with Fred.the wife tried to fight her husband’s battles and now she’s in deep with the state.
the house is a collateral that meembe used to get a loan from investrust bank, its business; its just babuju r ‘valentising’ the house.
You don’t send armed police to get somebody out of the house, assuming it was used as collateral. You only put a lien on it. That’s how civilized systems work.
This whole pursuit of Fred for whatever reason is being executed wrongly.
What has this got to do with the state?
Please it is just too much,this government! what do you really want from Fred membe?what has he really done that you can`t give him time to rest i think he is your threat.I will advise him to form
a political party every time you are thinking of him.Leave him alone,you are wasting your time youths
are crying for employment you not are doing anything.The founder of PF was was not behaving like this
we are watching you,since you came into power you have done nothing,time will come,is this a one party state?
Ba Kamwimba muleikalafye if you have nothing to say!
My late grannie used to say ” UWANGA NO LUPANGA, NAO AKAFWA KULUPANGA”. The sun is down for Mmembe. Whether it is persecution or prosecution, only Mmembe and PF know, every one else is just speculating. Every thing has got its time and this certainly is not Mmembe time as his time expired immediately Sata was pronounced dead.
Only non Tax payers will support Fred Mmembe because they don’t know how painful it is to see others not remitting Tax when others are doing so. Let him just settle what he owes the govt and the case will be closed for good. No one is above the Law, he should just comply and the issue will be closed. The colossal amount owed to our govt by Mmembe would help Zambia in one way or another.
let him also settle the loans he owes to the named bank by one of the bloggers so that others can also borrow it, it shouldn’t benefit him only, a lot of people are also in dire need of cash. PF or not PF every citizen is mandated to pay Tax and repay the loan which is due to the govt or bank if he owes any.
@7 AT LEAST I AM READING A SENSIBLE CONTRIBUTION. IT’S ABOUT TAX EVADING- NOTHING ELSE IS HAUNTING M’MEMBE. YOU CAN’T AVOID PAYING TAX FOR SUCH A LONG TIME AND THINK THINGS ARE ALRIGHT. THESE WICH HUNT, POLITICAL, RB NONSENSE OTHER READERS ARE TALKING ABOUT HAS GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CASE IN HAND. HIS BUSINESS NEVER USED TO PAY TAX. PERIOD. HE WAS JUST GIVEN A VERY LONG ROPE AND UNFORTUNATELY, HE CUT IT WHOLE AND NOW IT IS SHORT AND HE HAS FOUND HIMSELF HANGING IN THE AIR. WHERE DO PEOPLE EXPECT THE GOVERNMENT TO GET THE MONEY FOR MEDICINES IN HOSPITALS AND FOR BUILDING SCHOOLS AND MORE HOSPITALS?
Kanitundila part2 reincarnation RB Balangize featuring visionless chagwa. We are in deep trouble bane. Let us wake up before these despots cause havoc.

When Lungu is out of office, w shall do the same to him, we shall lock him up separating him from his ARTs to let nature naturally take its course. He should ask Chiluba’s the diinutive pygmy’s heart just exploded because of viagra trying suppress depresion by sansamcation!
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) team that was expected in Zambia next month to negotiate with the Zambian government on an economic recovery programme has cancelled the trip.
Impeccable sources from the Ministry of Finance and and State House have both disclosed that the IMF team feels there was no basis to discuss any economic programme with Zambia as the country has not introduced any fiscal restraint on its expenditure and other measures as agreed when they last visited the country late last year.The Zambian Eagle can confirm that the IMF Team have since informed Finance Minister Felix Mutati that they were not coming to Zambia as the PF Government has abrogated on what was agreed.
Sources say Mutati is now gripped with fear, uncertainty and has reached a dead end as he was…
The PF government is cash strapped and had hoped to get a loan from either the Chinese and IMF to service its Euro Bond debt and other loans contracted secretly like the US$400 million borrowed from Standard Chartered so that they can pay contractors.As a result, Zambia is now likely to default on its Euro bonds debts.Sources say the IMF and the donor community were growing very uncomfortable with the worsening human rights situation in Zambia plus the PF Government failure to cut spending on useless things.
Insiders say the IMF and donor community were also gripped with fear over Edgar Lungu and his PF Government’s foreign policy that has seen them make friendships with leaders listed on the terrorist watch like Sudanese President Olmer Albashir who is wanted by the International…
Recently, Lungu personally sent Foreign Affairs Minister Harry Kalaba to Sudan, a country that has seen the American government list them as among those harbouring terrorist networks.Albashir, the wanted war criminal, has since invited Lungu for a state visit and Lungu has since accepted the invitation which he will undertake soon.The Sudanese government has since given the PF thugs scholarships to study in that country’s terrorist universities.As things stand now, the IMF team and subsequent programme for Zambia may not materialise unless there will be significant changes in monetary policies and fiscal discipline plus improvement on the human rights and rule of law.Sources say Lungu and his PF Government are a high risk that can easily default on the loans.
M’membe aparently has killed himself in the early hours of today. More details coming…….
Did he shoot himself, hang by the tree of just took doom? Details please……
mtheneni is very arrogant make sure is behind bars
1PLUS1 I tell you, you send armed police to get somebody out of the house when you know that they are very violent and can tear a search warrant.
Sorry to Mutinta, she has really had a rough time. she is so strong for a tiny girl. I hope these matters come to a close quickly.
Resident of Fred Mmembe. Whats the meaning of that caption?
Perhaps they mean residence
lungu will die before 2021, you cannot be this childish and fight personal vendetta using public resources and expect to come out alive. The PF police are now the gestapo. A bunch of ruthless trigger happy thugs who will do anything that lungu the little rat says. You are cursed lungu and if you make it to 2021 then please i will move out of zambia.
Misuse of the police when compounds which need the police have no police patrols. Everyone has his day. PF will not be in power forever. Ask comrade KK whom we used to call Wamuyaya.
People like the Observer are just dull and can’t see anything beyond their noses. The question the Observer should answer is, ” Is it only Fred M’membe who owes the Government? How about The daily mail, the Times? How about the Ministers who illegally got paid salaries they were not supposed to get?
This Government is not doing things correctly in every arm of governance. That is why Zambia will continue being stagnated.
