UPND Vice President Geoffrey Mwamba has travelled to India for specialist treatment on his knee.
A member of the UPND legal team who preferred to remain anonymous told Journalists in Lusaka that Mr Mwamba flew out of the country last week.
The source said Mr Mwamba was expected to undergo surgery on his knee which should keep him in India for at least two weeks.
Rumours have surfaced on the whereabouts of the UPND strongman after he missed party leader Hakainde Hichilema’s two recent court appearances in the case he is facing treason.
He was missed his own court case last week in a matter in which he has been charged with threatening violence after he allegedly threatened to go after President Edgar Lungu’s throat.
Some PF sympathizers have been spreading rumours that Mr Mwamba has fled to Mauritius fearing arrest abandoning Mr Hichilema at a critical time.
But the source said Mr Mwamba will soon be returning back home after surgery.
“All I can tell you is that he has travelled to India on a medical trip on his knee. We might require surgery there. His family has requested that we allow them some privacy as you know medical issues are very private,” the source said.
Let him come back. The owners of the party want it back
Like any of us, he is a human being prone to get sick and take care of his health. Let’s be examplary by acting responsibly. Godspeed GBM. There is life beyond politics. Never overlook your wellness.
As a bemba we wish him well
I care for GBM as Man and father.
Let HH rot in the four squares walls. This is what Peace needs in zambia.
Thanks

Why would any self african go to a racist country like india? Indians in India are attacking Africans, other dark skinned/brown skinned people.
Why would any self loving african go to a racist country like india? Indians in India are attacking Africans, other dark skinned/brown skinned people.
Get well soon Mr.GBM! HH and all of us need your support
get well soon, true Zambian patriot. Your nation still needs you. You have chosen national unity over tribe; you have created hundred of jobs in our country; and you continue to fearlessly voice out against poor governance.
Knee problems? My foot! How can you leave our president in jail and you are traveling around? I think we made a mistake putting you as VP of our beloved party. Take this as official warning that we do not like this mannerism. If you are absent by tomorrow’s court case then count yourself out. We are serious.
Tukafwa fye ku manga…
@senior citizen
Are you happy HH has been done for treason because he drove while mr Lungu drove by?
Thanks
His family has requested that we allow them some privacy as you know medical issues are very private,” the source said……..kikikikikikikikiki, now that it’s on him it should very private? Anyway, politics aside, I wish him a quick recovery……..though losing weight will help cause I think it’s having a toll on his knee.
I can assure you GBM will come back in a coffin
Politics aside, I wish him well and God’s blessings
DAMN, SO MANY POWER HUNGRY HYENAS OUTA THERE!
====================
What is Nevers Mumba busy engineering or laboratorying?
Okay honestly speaking, is it a loss if GBM (the arson mastermind) comes back as cargo? Just curious here, no malicious intent.
Otherwise, let him survive, we need him beaten again come 2021.
Enemies of progress! Merchants of Death!
Yabija makani, politics is not for the faint-hearted.
He’s running away from Treason charges. His knees have finally bucked under his massive weight.
GBM has fallen into the Tongas trap. They told him to run away yet he does know that they don’t want him anywhere near the upnd power.
@1.3 OREEN, GBM IS HAS NO PRINCIPLES TO COMPEL HIM TO GIVE SOLIDARITY TO THOSE AFRICANS WHO WERE KILLED IN INDIA. MOREOVER, GBM’s EDUCATION IS SO LIMITEDTO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. AND SUCH ARE THE LEADERS IN UPND. NO WONDER HE QUIT PF TO JOIN A BUNCH OF 1D10TS WHERE HE FIT IN SQUARELY.
@Senior citizen took his medication today, he has typed sense. I can’t believe it’s him.
Not surprised. With that body size his knees were a disaster waiting to curve in under pressure.
I smell fish here. I hope his not on run. Who is acting Vice President and the President?
Medical issues are not private for people who have chosen to live their lives publicly. We want to know everything. It is your duty to tell us so that when we vote, we are informed.
Lose weight GBM and the knee surgery will help, otherwise get a third leg to support the weight.
This is supposed to be time to stick together. He should have waited just a bit but opts to leave his boss alone.
Ndanje you are a little insignificant dog. Infact since health is not important to you I wish that any children you have from now are born with mental disability and die since to you health is second to all.
NEZ is that all Upnd can offer? Insults and no substance? Surely small as I may be, my vote and that of many like me can make or unmake a president. Continue wallowing in your endless misery till the second advent. Have a nice day.
MWAMBA CAN’T WAIT FOR HIS BOSS TO GET JAILED SO THAT HE CAN TAKE OVER LEADERSHIP OF THE TONGA PARTY. HE HAS PUT UP A GIMMIC SHOW IN SUPPORT OF HIS BOSS LONG ENOUGH.
What has dictator Edgar Lungu done to GBM now? You know that’s exactly how Vladimir Putin eliminates his many critics and political opponents.
Lungu has done nothing………Fat Albert just needs to lose weight and this problem will disappear.
Ba Sebenza I totally agree with your sentiments. I once broke my ankle and I was 90kgs. Doctor ordered loss of weight if my leg was to heal properly. I lost 25 kgs to 65 kgs and I have a near perfect ankle despite the surgery.
GBM simply needs to lose weight! His ailment is self inflicted.
As usual idle minds are discussing GBM. Find a small holding, do tomatoes, impwa and other stuff. Wake up now. PF has failed, they wont feed you, make a plan B. UPND is not tested yet, and may not be trusted, Don’t follow economic refugees like Mushota
Hopefully the UPND clowns have now realized who is charge of our great country! When you push your luck too far, even a goat bites. President Lungu was duly and constitutionally elected on 11 August 2016 by the majority , 0ver 50%+1 mark, and to see the behavior of HH and his supporters trying to fool themselves as a consolation of their sustained defeats beats us.
The case HH is facing is very serious by any standard and let UPND start looking for alternatives, HH is a criminal of the highest order, TREASON!
Fat Albert can’t afford treatment in India. He’s broke he mistakenly diverted all his finances in the united Ponio Nio Dogs Campaigns. Hoping he would be reimbursed with Contracts and a hefty payback by Blood Thirsty Egocentric Satanist in April when he was promised to be Inaugurated as President.
Aliloba Ilyauma ! He’s in Dundumwezi hiding in one of the Hakashinde”s Ranches.
We will definitely smoke him out.
A knee problem is what has taken him to India? Even if he gets the specialist treatment he has gone to seek, as long as he does not shed of that weight the knee problem will recur. The massive weight he carries is putting pressure on his knee, that is what any doctor is likely to tell him whether in India of Zambia.As they say, prevention is better than cure. A healthy lifestyle is cheaper than drastic surgery. Let GBM learn to take better care of himself with the money he has. Ukukwata indalama techilyelyelye iyo!!!
Way to go GBM – at a time the Party needs you the most is the time to go for a surgery that can be easily rescheduled??
Gbm is a real strong man. You cannot compare him to weak lungu who hides behind working holidays to seek treatment for unknown diseases in Israel while using taxpayers money.
Then ECL is the strongest since he has beaten both Mwamba and HH combined.
Sacrifice for a friend in happiness or sadness. The knee has good timing …just when you’re needed the most it sends you abroad?
They are busy foools those two HH and GBM always expending energy where its not needed…you need a new breed of focused leaders not these we have in Ruling party and opposition!!
@ Mushota,
your comments are all about tribal attacks and may God give you grace to find ways of contributing to the nation. Your comments nowadays sounds inhuman and pleasant and no wonder many have said that though you are a PF guy, your comments sound Antichrist may be you are an urgent of the devil.
Shaka you know I am better than that.
I am merely seeking Justice and the truth.
Like a spoke on the wheel I turn round and round, but that doesn’t change the fiber of my being.
I have always respected you, yours is the kind like me that has stood the taste of time.
HH has caused the instability of peace because of miscalculated and unthoughtful decisions.
I am afraid, I hope he remains incarcerated, be it not what you want to hear from me.
Greetings from early sunshine in Langside, Glasgow.
Thanks

Deport mushota
Spreading STDs among whites and giving Africans a bad rep
A knee problem can be competently treated at the Orthopaedic Hospital here in Lusaka by Professor Mulla or Professor Krikor. Does GBM need to go to India for this?
Its his money he chooses where to go. I know of a white man who had a knee problem that too him to the UK and SA on several occassions
@Facts ka nio:
Now you are talking SH,IT!! Why didn’t your fake Doctors, Professor Mulla or Professor Krikor, treat Rupiah Banda’s knee problem only for Rupiah to spend 2 months in South Africa at the expense of Tax Payers!
And Unlike Rupiah, why shouldn’t GBM who is using his own hard earned money get the best treatment wherever he wants in the world? Moreover, successful treatment does NOT only depend on the skills of Doctors like Mulla or Krikor but mainly Hospital equipment and Lungu has NOT brought that equipment to Lusaka. Do you get that Ar.sewhore?
His life, his money. If you want, you can go to chibolya clinic for your treatment. Even staying at home and treating yourself with traditional herb called umunsoka-nsoka.lol
Mr facts I think you must learn to have compassion and draw your boundaries clearly. I don’t agree with HH or GBM ‘s but I will never celebrate when any of them is suffering. Let us be humane ladies and gentlemen. Stop bush age politics.
Let this retard return well and good. The United Ponyio Nyio Dogs desperately need his leadership once we displace Hadolf Hitler (HH).
WHAT THEY SAID
HH lying about attempt on his life – GBM
Reacting to Mr Hichilema’s disclosure at a media briefing in Lusaka yesterday, Defence Minister Geoffrey Mwamba has since appealed to Zambians to ignore such seditious information, saying people should instead preach messages of unity and love.
(LT September 10, 2012)
The top two money men are now out of the picture all playing into PFs hands…I have always advised this useless opposition party UPND to concentrate on consolidating their position BUT the are like little spoiled kids always wasting time on nothing.
Get well soon. Politics aside, we are humans and we should feel for each other except in circumstances of treasonable behaviour which can bring blood shed. Quick recovery!
Hehehehe…does NEZ believe what he says? I think he wants to imitate Mushota’s satirical but factual comments but failing miserably.
Knee surgery in India? That is strange, the best knee surgeons are in Europe, ask Ruud van Nisteroy.
And now who is acting president of UPNDonkeys given the shortage of courageous men and women in the “opposition party”?
Nope, best knee surgeons are in USA, ask Zlatan Ibranovic of Man united.
Ba GBM teti mukakefye impatishi pe kufi…..owe HALEYA HALENYA ashala eka
We need “One Zambia One Nation” slogan to be inculcated in our next Generation. We are all Zambians regardless of our political affiliation.
GBM ATABA!!!!!!!!!How can he abandon the boss HH.Useless GBM…………………………
nizoonadi ATABAA mambala
one Barcelona one Messi KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.
But they mock Lungu when he is sick as if them cannot fall sick
PF and UPND aside (silly politics) I wish GBM a quick recovery. He is a Zambian citizen and a family man.We pray for his health. May God help him .
ZINYO YOU HAVE HAMMERED THE POINT AND I SUPPORT YOU. AND JUST ADD SALT PACHILONDA gbm ALEFWA NAMA BP THIS YEAR MARK MY WORD.
NANSELE PAMULOMO PA gbm ATI GOD HELP HIM IMWE BA SOUTHERNER ARE SURE?
We are all not perfect. Neither do you qualify for God’s grace but God still takes care of you anyway.
Is the whole purpose of the LT a place to exhibit xenophobia by the likes of Mushota? The hatred she has for Tonga speaking people of Zambia is beyond belief. I think this site needs to be referred to the press complaints commission if one exists in Zambia. We use this site to stay abreast of the current issues affecting Zambia only to be confronted with the bile and vile from one Mushota. Is it the whole purpose of this site? We all are capable of turning the airwaves bluer than blue that we can promise you. Mushota would even wish her mother did pop her at all. Trust me.
Reacting to Mushota only spurs her own with more surreal postings.
We’ve a by election for the Masaiti council chairman. The atmosphere is very brotherly where that Upnd and PF are joking like real cousins. And here we’re on LT trading insults, threats, curses as if our entire lives depended on these two parties. Hats of to Masaiti.

Maybe it’s a heart, kidney, liver or internal organ problem but they don’t want to say it. By the way why didn’t brother Mwamba hold a press briefing before departure? Was it an emergency? Very impolite and strange for a potential party president.
GBM please get better soon. We need you to help us with information in our on going investigations.
THIS INSTABILITY WE ARE SEEING IN CERTAIN REGION IS BECAUSE OF HH WHO HAS FAILED UP TO SHOW THE WORLD HOW THE VICTORY WAS STOLEN FROM HIM. HE KEEPS ON INSULTING ECL WHO WON SQUARELY THE ELECTION IN ALL MAJOR PROVINCES. LET HH PRODUCE HIS PVT WHICH HE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE THE ELECTIONS. THIS HH IS REALLY TURNISH OUR IMAGE AS TONGAS AND THIS IS REASON WHY US TONGAS FROM THE VALLEY WE HAVE DISOWNED HIM.
He was expecting riots and was going to be cought by Police. No riots unfortunately.
The picture almost made me think the heading is “GBM Sworn in as UPND President in India”
He has greater chances of being selected as Litunga than being appointed even as Acting UPND President
HH is sorted in life but we have people who are busy throwing mud at him. Sort yourselves out as well. I am non partisan but just shocked with the non intellectual debates taking place in Zambia on social media.
GBM what a fool you are ! Do you honestly think the Tongas can allow you to take the helm of their Kraal sorry Party ? You have greater chances being selected as Litunga than being selected as President of UPND !
You see, they have already bewitched you !
I know I’m PF being a Zambian and Christian I wish the son of the soil a quick recovery. May angels camp around him as he goes through that operation
Amen, we need him to recover and come and take over as UPND President. Ba HH kwwf !
The rich, the rich, the rich. Just for a knee you fly to India!
Kuti wapupwako umwela ku INDIA mu Zambia Kanganja ashupa mambala!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May Jesus Christ heal that knee..for we may have differences in opinions but you still remain a zambian patriot despite your own weaknesses, and we don’t know what tomorrow may bring..
While you are at it…ask your White Jesus to heal the economy and stop poverty in Afrika. Ask him when he is coming back to save you and fellow Afrikans from your docility!!
Debate wisely otherwise you will become completely irrelevant like Mr Kudos, NEZ and Mushota. TOTALLY IRRELEVANT!
This is the Republic of Lungu and not the republic of Zambia as witnessed in the charge against the man HH where every body is to be submissive to Lungu. Please go and check on some of your businesses. Good move.
During struggles like this one, you don’t all have to be in the country. Go and refresh your mind like Mmembe did. Make sure you check how to ma businesses are doing and also pass through South Africa on your way back. The likes of Thabo Mbeki where camped in Zambia organizing something while Mandela was in jail. That is how freedom fighters do it.
It’s the first time am hearing someone going to India for a simple knee issue. People go there for cancer and other complicated cases not a knee. Gbm has never complained about a knee problem . well we’ve seen how people wrap the bandage on the knee and limp meanwhile the problem is with the machine.
Musenge – Agreed 100%. Don’t even call what comes from these guys as debates. Just something else.
HH OVAL HEAD. If you are just hearing tell us what you understand about India? Give us some evidence that some one cannot be treated in India for a knee problem.
GBM DOES NOT WANT TO BE ARRESTED BY THE POLICE. BUT HE ALSO DOES NOT WANT TO APPEAR AS IF HE HAS RUN AWAY FROM HH. SO HE HAS FAKED ILLNESS AND RUN TO INDIA IN THE NAME OF SEEKING MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR A SUPPOSED KNEE PROBLEM. ITS CALLED POLITICS.
Abutuka mambala. Aletinafye ukumubika mu ngema,like his boss.
GBM is clever than Hadolf Hitler. He wants to come back when Hitler is jailed. Viva GBM. Recover soon and abandon Useless Pungwa Nonentity Dundumwezi
The government of the republic of Edgar of Zambia. It has changed from the Republic of Zambia. kikikikikiki. Tiye nayo.
Ba UPND as the “Government in waiting”, please tell us who is your acting president and vice-president or is it a two man party and the rest are cheer boys and girls!!
Its GBM in power right now. I really dont know whether we shall field an ex-convict in the 2021 polls !
The government of Edgar Lungu or Lungu’s government, or the government of Zambia, same difference. In US its called Trump’s government. There is really no difference as long as one is ruling.
Same as “Her Majesty’s Government” which will be called “His Majesty’s Government” when a male takes over as King. No need to lose sleep over terminologies or become a comedian in court, you have a more important problem locked up in a Lusaka prison.
Ginger Bread Man (GBM) ran away to India pretending to have a health issue… in truth he has abandoned the Under 5 Boy in the chooks
Its a shame that whenever big name Africans get unwell they have to rush outside of their own countries just to get best medical attention.Why not invest properly into healthcare at home as priority?
UPND is for Tongas..GBM must resign otherwise he will soon be in a wheel chair..Tonga-magic…
GBM is a human being laden with parental responsibility to his family. Part of the treatment may need a remedy to cure his obesity, which forces the heart to pump limited blood to supply excessive large amounts of tissues. Medically. we need not dwell on the impact of obesity. His Doctors can offer him expert advice in confidence. May God help Ba Mwamba to heal fast.
GBM is nit in india no, he is talking to trump so that they can team up for HHs detention.
but wen he comes thins will be deferential, he will be radiosonde to
