Share

National Democratic Congress (NDC) Akafumba led faction’s interim Vice President Edward Mumbi has died.

Mr. Mumbi, who is also former PF secretary-general, died at Maina Soko Hospital a while ago. His death was confirmed by NDC interim president Joseph Akafumba.

Mr. Mumbi came to fame when he led the PF as Secretary-General until then he was removed by then opposition PF leader Michael Sata.

Mr. Mumbi officially joined the MMD on August 27, 2009 following his removal as PF Secretary General.

On September 20, 2011, he almost had a physical fight with Mr. Sata on election day which saw PF ascend to power.

On 28 September 2016, Mr. Mumbi resigned from his position as UPND Presidential Spokesperson stating that it was increasingly difficult for him to continue discharging his duties.

On 19th July 2020, Mr. Mumbi joined National Democratic Congress (NDC) where he was appointed as Member of the Central Committee.

Mr. Mumbi joined the NDC faction led by Vice President Rikki Joseph Akafumba where he was later appointed NDC Vice President.

“We are saddened to announce the death of NDC vice president Edward Mumbi in Lusaka this afternoon. As UPND Alliance, We wish Mr Mumbi’s family God’s guidance and strength during this trying moment,” said UPND Alliance Chairperson Charles Milupi.

  2. For those who are wondering if UTH is closed, Maina Soko Hospital is a covid-19 centre even KK passed there…we have an incompetent and irresponsible govt who have no plan to fight covid-19.

  5. No shame at all ..they are busy charging people to administer medication during a pandemic which has been donated during a pandemic…I mean they even have VIP wings. Yet they say they have no funds busy giving social cash transfers to people in rural areas with voters cards.

    SHAME ON YOU LAZY LUNGU!!!

  8. Zambian doctors are failing to heal people of Covid 19 because of the Zambia Medicines Regulatory Authority (ZAMRA) failure to licence Ivermectin in Zambia. ZAMRA should be sued for this negligence.

  9. @The Saint, Ivermectin is available on the black market, just like LH24 and that’s what we’re using to treat patients at home. My uncle was taken to KTH at 7hrs. I was informed around 17.30hrs that he hadn’t been attended to. I’m sure he might soon be a statistic. That’s how bad the situation is.

  11. @Ayatollah, that is exactly my point. Those who are treated at home on Ivermectin (illegally) survive. While those who go into hospital to drink zinc and azythromycin, die. Dear Zambians, when you catch covid 19 do the following: 1. Steam every hour. 2. Drip salt water (a teaspoon in a cup) into the nose and gaggle every hour. 3. Drink plenty of hot fluids like tea every 3 hours. 4. Spend as much time outside in fresh air. 5. Continue taking Zinc but if sick, add chloroquine. Avoid the university killing hospitals.
