Claims that former Education Minister had died is a sign of decayed media ethics among some institutions

Share

Information and Broadcasting Services Permanent Secretary Amos Malupenga has threatened to revoke broadcasting licenses for media institutions misinforming the public.

Mr. Malupenga said that his Ministry will not allow unprofessional conduct among the media institutions causing alarm among members of society.

Mr. Malupenga said that the broadcast by Spring TV on Wednesday claiming that former General Education Minister David Mabumba had died is a sign that media ethics among some institutions have decayed.

Speaking in Solwezi when he paid a courtesy call on his North Western Province counterpart Willies Mangimela, Mr. Malupenga challenged media associations to condemn unprofessional conduct among media institutions.

Earlier, LUAPULA Province Minister Nixon Chilangwa announced that he had visited David Mabumba, a day after being removed from position as Minister of General Education following a shameful episode.

Mr Chilangwa that Former Luapula MPs today visited Hon David Mabumba at his home and he was doing fine and that none of the hospital, suicide allegations ever happened.”

“I have equally spoken to him today to just encourage him and that in all things we should thank and praise God
This what we should be doing for each other,” sai Mr.Chilangwa.

  1. Very disgusting behaviour. These are media outlets funded by the upnd. A bunch of propagandists . When IBA closes them they will then cry ati there is no freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is not freedom to tell lies. Can the authorities visit these psychos.

  8. Its amazing PF is approving a sexual pervert and predator without any morals that has permanently dented PF regime morality. This same Nixon Chilangwa took a hode of unruly PF cadres and caused mayhem at courts premises to give support to thief Chitalu Chlufya. PF regime is comfortable with lawlessness. Chilangwa is thanking a god in all things including shameful sins of former education minister. These christians for Lungu!

  10. Unethical journalism indeed!! They shamelessly stated that his body was deposited into UTH mortuary. They need to be shut down!!! I guess everyone sins and we have all fallen short at one point or another. May he pull through this difficult time and bounce back strongly in other professional endeavours.

  13. And looking at your picture you think you any better or is it your once upon a time wallet they sniff after

  14. The man whipped out his 15 inch black mamba and pointed it at the lass in the motion picture.
    He had the full backing of the cabinet as he stroke it once and then twice and let out a huge spurt of vanilla ice cream all over the chocolate.
    He came and went at the same time. Mabumba became mabongosola in an instant!

  15. Very disgusting behaviour. From this sellout of a journalist. I thought journalists were from a free spirit but Zambian Journalists become crap the moment they are appointed into government offices. Just look at all of them tinpot dictators whose chameleonness reveals how all along they envy the govt news sources they report on. They are the biggest tyrants. Name one Zambian journalist who didn’t become big headed once appointed and I will buy Kaizar Zulu a Jameson every day until the next elections
