PF enjoys cordial relations with the church in Zambia-Mumbi Phiri

Share

Mumbi Phiri(C) at the PF interactive Forum

The ruling patriotic front has said that it enjoys cordial relations with the church in the country.PF deputy secretary general Mumbi Phiri said that it was her prayer that the relationship will continue to grow.

Speaking at the PF interactive forum in Lusaka where she welcomed a new member Miyanda Katiwa, a Lusaka business woman who has joined the PF, Mrs. Phiri said that the PF was not going to be distracted with the propaganda being propagated by the opposition but will concentrate on its developmental agenda for the people of Zambia.

Mrs Phiri reiterated that PF members are free to contest the PF presidency during the convention expected in 2020, but stated that the party membership has endorsed the candidature of president Edgar Lungu for 2021 general elections.

Mrs. Phiri emphasized that the party is not blocking anyone with presidential ambitions, but that the party is saying that it is comfortable fielding President Edgar Lungu as the PF Presidential candidate in 2021.

She says all those with presidential ambitions are free to do so as the person who liked sending cadres with machetes Wynter Kabimba left the party a long time ago and there is peace and order in the ruling party, adding that ‘Pangas’ in the ruling party went with Rainbow Party President Wynter Kabimba.

    • All peole are Gods people and HE knows what they need and when they need it.

      THAT’S REAL BULLSHIIT RIGHT THERE!

    • She is right. She is smart and I liked her.

      I’m sure she meant Government.

      The churches from what I understand are in favour of jailing HH – there is ofcourse a few unscrupulous groups within UNDP that are hired guns pretending the churches are unhappy.

      Ignore them please.

      Thanks

    • @1,2″ She is right. She is smart and I liked her.”
      You and Mumbi can make a great “Lesbian couple”

    • Mumbi Phiri only wants media attention!

      Two days ago the Church Mother Body without hesitation, told off these PF bandits that under visionless Lungusha economy, Zambia is a dictatorship.

      The only “church” which Mumbi Phiri is yapping about is those PF organisations masquerading as churches when in fact they are PF attack~monkeys & rats~ as Christians for visionless Lungu.

      Forget & don’t listen to anything else that this tribalist of a bandit in PF is yapping, she is a menace to the wellbeing of society.

      The Skeleton Key

    • Her boss said he had no time for the Church Mother Bodies just a while ago. If you don’t have time for someone, then that relationship is hardly cordial.

    • “Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.”?

    • Foolish now you accept that there were Pangas in the party … so what happened to the Panga wielding cadres? did they miraculously reform on Wynters departure?? At the time your Party used to vehemently deny carrying pangas … You are a liar Madam. And the declaration you are making about cordial relationship with the Church …. firstly church leadership by their nature and as per christian doctrine are meant to have good relations with the communities and in this instance the big churches are asking you to take a self check and change your ways. God used to send ‘prophets’ to request leaders to change their ways .. the church mother bodies have spoken..and u want to belittle what they say. If you claim lungu is God chosen what about the Priests who are asking him to change his ways…

    • Mumbi Phiri has nbeen a dangerous venom to Zambia and to the Zambian people. Mumbi Phiri’s careless talk and her shallow reasoning is one reason why the country is in such political and economic impasse. Mumbi Phiri has always been misleading the ZAMBIANS and the rest of the world with her verbal diarrhoea. Phiri is always defensive of her co?rupt and dictatorship government.

    • Miranda Marisa, wishing you well. As for Mumbi, you lie for a living that is what describes you other than being tribal.

    • It is the truth about the church that gets brown envelopes, how else can they enjoy cordial relationship without the 30 pieces of silver?

  1. Ah get out! You think we dont know who you are? A ka pretender together with your president. This is the first president in the history of this great country to have people not recognize him.. lol

    • This biatch, Mumbwe Phiri, and PFlaky Bwalya are satanists. They are not Catholics. That’s why every time they go to church with their Islamic Satanist leader in Zambia, Chakolwa Lungu, they just want to dance instead of listening to the homily.

  2. PF enjoys discordial relations with the impoverished voters,75% hike in power tariffs ,fewer jobs and a mountain of debt.

  3. All you fools thinking that Lungu will stand in 2021 that’s a wishful thinking..this is flash back of Chiluba’s tried method it will not go through….I will not speak for the rest of Zambia’s but I will speak for my family….you are all going to pay back to the government…just watch….

  4. Mumbi: Please shut your tunnel…you and Lungusha are trying to fool the un educated it’s not going to work…This is a flash back of Chiluba remember the third team plan…where did go..yea…the international community got involved. This is how this garbage will go down…just start paying back what you fools have stolen…

  5. ATHEISM IS LIBERATING AND EMPOWERING… I’m so glad, I am no longer a brainwashed irrationalist, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY I AM NOT ALONE. Grow Atheist Community, Grow!!?

    • If you want others to respect your “atheism”, have decency to respect others “religiousness”. Otherwise, you are “righteous” whilst in denial.

  6. Even, Hitler, had some churches that supported his WICKED Actions! Mumbi is calling PF WICKEDNESS as Propaganda? My foot! PF is WICKED PERIOD!

  7. Why lungu won’t allow PF to have a solidarity march for HH is clear proof of his paranoia.
    He will not allow such a march because the popularity of HH will be shown.

    UPND are not allowed any gatherings of not more than 2 people, now when we point that out the kaponyas say that is not true because the church is like UPND and they had a meeting !!!.

    • That is what we are are saying……what is lungu afraid of ??? The giant crowds that would attend such a march would shame lungu…..that is the only reason he would not let Zambians have a solidarity march for HH.

  8. Really?….No one with Presidential ambitions will be chased away from the convention? Hard to believe. Edgar Lungu himself maybe a good man but cadres are very difficult people to control.

    • Lungu is not a good man. A good man would not allow evil to guide his daily actions. Lungu is in the middle of his natural grounds of squalor, violence, intimidation and grand thievery.

  9. Foolish now you accept that there were Pangas in the party … so what happened to the Panga wielding cadres? did they miraculously reform on Wynters departure?? At the time your Party used to vehemently deny carrying pangas … You are a liar Madam. And the declaration you are making about cordial relationship with the Church …. firstly church leadership by their nature and as per christian doctrine are meant to have good relations with the communities and in this instance the big churches are asking you to take a self check and change your ways. God used to send ‘prophets’ to request leaders to change their ways .. the church mother bodies have spoken..and u want to belittle what they say. If you claim lungu is God chosen what of the Priests who are asking him to change his ways ??

  10. The 3 Church Mother Bodies have Spoken on behalf of the millions of Zambians and Lungu and PF must listen and release HH unconditionally from Prison and start unconditional Dialogue. The Root cause of the conflict is the Disputed and Petitioned 2016 Election. Its futile to incarcerate and persecute HH to force him to recognize Lungu as President. HH and UPND will never recognize a Vote Thief and a Law Breaker as a Legitimate President. In any case it is not a Crime to refuse to recognize Lungu as President. Certainly Refusal or Failure to recognize Lungu is not Treason. Lungu should Release HH unconditionally and start unconditional Dialogue with HH. Period.

  11. The tested approach is separation of Church and State. The individuals can belong to religious denominations of their own choice but the State can not choose. There is no recommended religion for individuals. All religious beliefs are individual and personal choices. Das Glauben des Individuums is unmittelbar. Hier geht es, um das Glaubensfreheit. The Church leaders can act suspiciously. Even the State functionaries can act suspiciously. But the State functionaries can be changed through regular change of government but the Church leaders can not be changed through regular elections.

  12. I would rather you leave the diplomacy to mama Inonge Wina pantu mwebo bamayo, muli nkaka. You are too fanatical like the PF is the only part that has

  13. Has ever ruled Zambia as a party. The UPND have made a lot of mistakes but they are just as Zambians like anyone else. Ni mpangafye mumutwe we have to help them get rid off.

  14. Themastonline

    HAKAINDE Hichilema has warned the Church and Zambians that they are also targets of President Edgar Lungu’s brutality and torture.
    The incarcerated UPND leader, in a message sent through his deputy press aide Brian Mwiinga, urged the clergy and citizens “not to fear Mr Edgar Lungu and his PF as they cannot kill both flesh and soul”.

    • Onenation

      Unfortunately for citizens at the time of KK there was no internet.

      Unfortunetly for the dictator lungu , there is internet now. He can bloke printed media but he can’t bloke the internet…..

  15. Mrs. Mumbi Phiri’s comments reflect the wisdom of PF Party as it relates to the roles of Churches in Zambia. A Church that has generated political controversy is the Catholic whose worshipers are members of different political parties (including PF and UPND). Our concern is that political noises purporting to come from the Catholic Church are being generated by Bishop Mpundu who is a UPND supporter.

    Companies, Universities and Churches are run by Board of Directors, Councils or supreme members of Churches. If Bishop Mpundu errs by meddling into politics, the Vatican or local body can censure Mpundu for breeding disunity among a diversity of Catholics. It is safe to impose a forced RETIREMENT on Mpundu to restore sanity in Catholic Church.

  16. It has become common for UPND to issue statements and claim support of people they haven’t consulted. First it was chiefs but shortly thereafter some began to disown those statements. It even Telesphore Mpundu didn’t consult his colleagues when he came up with that position. It’s very embarrassing that people he claimed supported him are disputing his claims. The PF must ignore him and continue to build their relationship with the church

  17. Don’t be cheated by Mumbi Phiri and her PF team.. They cant do anything to the Catholic Church. If they think that they are very powerful and can ban Catholic Church in Zambia, they are joking.
    PF cant do anything to Catholic Bishops. Let PF cadres demonstrate at Kapingila House and demand the arrest of Bishop Tresphod Mpundu..
    I tell you that the POPE will show HIS powers. Even the IMF aid we want shall be denied. Sanctions against PF officials can be imposed by EU under the influence of the POPE.
    PF , never dare the Catholics. Governments have been toppled by the Catholics… Remember the USSR… Even Putin cant ban the Catholics Though he has banned the Jehovah Witness.
    In life you must be real. If you are poor and weak, don’t be arrogant like PF

  18. All of you UPNDonkeys including Bishop Mpundu can bark as many times as you can, your HH will go through the right process of the law (Court). One good thing is even if you don’t know who the president is all of are crying to one person by the name of ECL. Who is ECL to you all? You all behave like under five HH, sure ba Bishop how can you do that, is this the way to meditate, you first side with one by accusing him then after wards you want to bring the two together. A lot of people never expected this kind of behavior from you Mr. Mpundu.

  19. Why is Lungu associating himself with such people.

    she speas to Zambians as though they are dull, or don’t thin and see. its really regretable

  20. PF is really scared of the church mother bodies. They cannot say anything for fear of losing support in 2021, fear of the Holly Ghost Fire, they wil be fighting the whole world if they do anything stupid. Eici nomba Bakolwe na Bakoswe balifye shilili kwati nabalokwe mfula yacitalawe. Fear God and respect human life. Kwateni akatina kuli kabumba Yehova. Lesa tasale mfumu munshila yabufumfuntungu iyo. Akonko muyano mumapekanyo yakwe yooonse. Tin eni

  21. Lemba , mwana wandi . Fear GOD and keep his commandments. Don’t insult and God is watching you…. Calling someone created in GOD’s image a donkey is evil and wicked. Both PF and UPND bloggers are full of insults.
    Every one of you shall give an account of his actions and words before GOD.
    Repent before you die in your sin.

  22. Sorry Robmwale I never meant to insult anyone but UPND bloggers are just too much, I don’t know if it is being ignorant or what? What I mean is they keep on repeating the same things which are simple and straight forward. Sorry again.
