The National Democratic Congress, NDC, has decided to sue its former leaders for continuing to mascarade as party officials.

The people being sued are; Mr. Rikki Josephs Akafumba, Mrs. Bridget Atanga, Mr. Franklin Membe, Mr. George Sichula, Mr. Paul Sensele, Father Richard Luonde, Mr. Joseph Chishala, Mr. Joseph Kasonde, Mr. Tazifa Mwanza, Prof. Muyenga Atanga and Mr. Luhila Akashondola. Others are; Ms. Timar Shaba Thuli, Mr. Emmanuel Malite, Mr. Kirby Musonda, Mrs. Maureen Sense, Mrs. Munyonshi, Mr. Andrew Lipindula and Mr. Musonda Banda.

The former party officials were expelled from the party and never contested their expulsions. However, the party is shocked that the expelled leaders have continued to mascarade as NDC officials.

‘Despite not having a following in the party, these former leaders have managed to create a media circus and continued to portray themselves as NDC when infact not.

And in the letter of demand, Mr. Akafumba, Mrs. Atanga and others, have been reminded that they have continued to mascarade as party officials despite being expelled by the Central Committee meeting of 22nd March 2021 and confirmed by the party Congress on 18th April 2021.

The NDC president Ms. Saboi Imboela further mentioned that belonging to a political party of one’s choice was a constitutional right and it was obvious that the rebels had decided to go with the party’s former alliance partners. However, the party has bee

  1. This is just going to be like the MMD debacle…PF sponsored BUFFOON CK’s people will disrupt everything the other people who have genuine interest in making the party work. This is why Saboi Imboela never followed her dull boss to PF…the more trouble there is the more the party is unable to mobilise and campaign. People never learn in the end you will be left with nothing and the winners will be PF.

  3. Solution is in the Zimbabwean way
    Movement for Democratic Change – Tsvangirai (MDC–T)
    Movement for Democratic Change – Ncube (MDC–N)

    National Democratic Congress – Akafumba (NDC-A)
    National Democratic Congress – Saboi (NDC – S)

  4. Saboi Imboela is a very intelligent woman, but sadly her pursuit of this new found career called politics is making her seem like a dull nincompoop. Case in point – Madam Nawakwi who is equally an intelligent woman. but of late the public opinion of her is obviously considered deleterious. So please go back to academics and/or activism and stay there just like your colleague Dr. Sishuwa has done and maintained his lane. Thanks
