Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (MMD) President Dr. Nevers Mumba says Patriotic Front officials are in a state of dizziness after losing power in the last August general elections.
Dr. Mumba has predicted that PF officials, who have been vocal after losing power, will go quiet in the next two to three months as they face justice.
Speaking in an interview with veteran broadcaster Frank Mutubila on Capital Radio on Thursday morning, Dr. Mumba further accused the PF regime of raping the Zambian economy through dubious means.
“This kind of attitude (arrogance) will continue for a few more weeks and then it’s going to die out. It is a dream, they think they are dreaming that it is not real. They have lost power and yet they have.I mean you are talking to a guy who has been in Government before and in a party that lost power. There is a period of time we call it “stupid period” in political genesis. It is called a stupid period. A stupid period if you went to drink last night and later on in the morning up to 09h00 you are feeling like a little dizzy over the influence of the liquor you took last night,” Dr. Mumba said.
“The dizziness is still with our colleagues in the PF. The salutes of the policemen and the flag flying in front of their vehicles. It is very destructive to a mind that did not deserve to hold those positions and eventually had that position so they remain under that dizziness for a while. Their language is defiant not knowing the policemen have switched sides, they are now on the side of the law, justice and Government so they will not sustain it because the law does not stop because you insult them, the law keeps going,” he said.
“They will insult as they go into Chimbokaila (Lusaka Central Prison), as they go to Kabwe Maximum Prison they will be insulting and the voices will become dimmer or rather fainter and fainter. And in the next two months, three months with the fast track court coming this country will be quiet; our colleagues in the last administration will be no more. I am just speaking now as a Prophet of God because when I listen to the way they are speaking. The best thing to do when you run the country aground is to feel apologetic and be quiet and when the police are asking you questions, cooperate. If you are innocent you will be set free but if you are arrogant it is also a sign that you are probably guilty,” Dr. Mumba added.
On numerous corruption allegations being leveled against PF officials, Dr. Mumba called for justice to prevail.
“We have made ourselves very clear that time has come for the issues of this nation to finally be resolved and hold every individual accountable. I want to be honest and put it on record that one of the reasons that the Zambians voted in such great numbers for this President and this Government was precisely to end this mess. It is therefore incumbent upon this current President to continue to push as hard as he can in order to gain the confidence of the voters who believed that the former President (Edgar Lungu) and his administration raped the economy of this country to un-proportional levels that we have never seen since Independence,” Dr. Mumba said.
Dr. Mumba, a former diplomat, said Zambians were anxious to see how the New Dawn Government would handle the crusade against corruption.
“More than 80% of Zambians have the gut feeling that the previous Government did unthinkable things and therefore when we read those things they literally make you sick that people who call themselves Zambians and apparently born in this country, educated by the free money of this country can go out there and deliberately rape the economy of this country.”
“We are all sitting on our tentacles waiting to see how this administration is going to wipe away the tears of Zambians and satisfy our anxiety on what is going to happen to those responsible,” said the former Republican vice President during the MMD regime.
Mr. Mumba mind you PF is no longer in power, you are in the opposition and you continue fighting your fellow opposition. It’s like you just want Favour for a job from HH
Nevers Mumba is spot on, very true analysis. The thinking that because he is in opposition therefore he should shut his analysis is not only weird but queer as well. Nevers is on very firm ground on this, extremely accurate, bulls eye
A teapot calling a kettle black. Mumba is a professional chancer. Hoping that by yapping, HH may just give him some position. Without him MMD would still be a strong party. Since we’re going to old cases why not reopen his case where he’s accused of stealing from the the Zambia USA embassy?
Sensible and hard talk from Dr. N. Mumba. Indeed, the former mafia government are still drunk with fake power hence the spewing of trash from their dirty mouths. The rule of law should prevail and be brave on the Criminal Enterprise.
@1 and 2 Nevers Mumba is also a Zambian who was affected by the criminalities of the fallen PF regime. Let him speak out. Justice has to prevail. People should not get into power to steal from the poor. To the PF criminals: Ala bane tekanyeni, tamulati. This is just the beginning
Mumba is right……….
And being in opposition does not mean taking the side of stu.pidity and criminality………
#4 Red Alert. That’s the problem with you people. You are saying I should Mumba speak but you don’t want me to speak? Mumba is a public figure and therefore subject to scrutiny and criticism. If Nakachinda talks you insult him.. isn’t he also Zambian like me? Nakachinda is a public figure like Mumba so whatever he does or says will attract public interest. Sometimes it’s better not to respond with emotions.
How can a thug like Nakachinda be a public figure, there is certainly something very wrong in this country
@ 3 and 4
You’re both useless if you think Nevers Mumba is a saint…this man is a known Bandit and very arrogant….he’s been holding on to MMD because that’s his only source of income and he wants favors from HH because MMD apparently is broke…Never Mumba and his sister Elizabeth Chitika finished all the MMD resources…Nevers Mumba was fired for theft and insubordination by Mwanawasa
Mumba is honest and I know PF die hards won’t like his statement. But that is the truth. Every Zambian except the PF are waiting to see Edgar Lungu answer for the misdeeds.
Everyone know PF damaged everything. So why criticize Dr Mumba
I have lost confidence in this so called New Dawn Government. They are not investigating cases but just harrassing opponents. Nothing to show for. In short we are being shown Ivory after ushering them into those posh offices.
How does one explain the action of ACC on these cases. They are busy feeding on hearsay no wonder they can’t secure any conviction. Have data before you show us your incompetence.
Mumba drunk with victory ministries tithe, he cannot offer hope. As of now, PF is better than UPND and at this rate the country, for the first time, can witness the Party bouncing back into power. From tithe to knocking for a job blind Nevers Mumba to see the wrongs in UPND
Nevers Mumba is good. He is not in the same league like Edgar who brought this country down.
#4 But you also trying to shut me up. It’s only fair if you are the one talking?
Abakulu bambi masaka
For me, arrests does not me PF members are guilt, let the courts of Law prove them guilt beyond reasonable doubt. we are damaging the name of people without prof of guilt but on hear say. ACC,DEC, POLICE are doing a very bad job by not investigating to its conclusion. all they are doing is half baked Investigations. You are Destroying Democracy.
Deja Vu, do not be scared in doing good, you have all the right to speak and express your self. Continue with what you’re doing I for one enjoy your comments.
My elder brother ba Nevers, awe sure kuwayawaya fye.
What is your relevance as an opposition party if you keep on attacking a fellow opposition party and praising the ruling party?
What about checks and balances?
Ukupya Nako bwafya.
If opposition leaders are doing wrong things, a responsible opposition leader is supposed to come out and sensor them, the way Nevers Mumba has done. The problem in Zambia is that people want to praise well known thugs like Nakachinda, look at how Nakachinda destabilized MMD before he was flushed out. How does a normal person just wake up and attack the President that you are meeting judges at your home, blatant lies, he wont be able to defend that in court, watch this space
By the way why arrest Nakachinda and not arrest Lazarus Simukoko who is every minute, every hour everyday is scorning and pouring redicule on the REPUBLICAN President? Nakachinda just used insoselo and the entire ZP descends on him.
That’s what hunger can do….a big man like Mumba has become HH’s praise singers…njala yamunyokola….he used to collect brown envelopes from Edgar Lungu in the middle of the night…..now he is collecting brown envelopes from HH and am told he wants Diplomatic posting…Rupiah Banda is Engineering everything…Politicians only unite when it’s time to loot and steal from the Government
Ba Nevers, you say ba PF are thieves, but how many of the PF members have since been convicted of any offence. For now, many of them are still being suspected to have committed some offence of some kind. Let’s wait for the results before we criminalize these Zambians. What I see, is all vengeance because the law is not being followed. Citizens are being judged before they are convicted by the courts.
I had some doubts with Nevers Mumba in the past, but what he has said this time is the most accurate analysis of events. The man is spot on. This dizziness will fizzle out at some point, the former PF government officials can not believe they are out of government, they will be as arrogant as ever, each time they are confronted by law enforcement agencies you see them cry falsely that its the President commanding Police. Nevers is right they will sober down at some point
The worst government to have ever graced the Zambian political scene is PF, and Nevers Mumba is very right in calling out the characteristics of these rejected PF leaders. They want to carry themselves as if they are still in power, the very power they widely abused, we said it then and saying it again now that time of reckoning always comes, they are busy attacking HH now for their own misdeeds, they think HH is abusing the Police the way they used to do it themselves. Very grateful to the almighty above that PF is gone and hopefully buried for good, for record I am not even UPND
Walasa Nevers, very accurate. No contest
#6.1 Jemugo are just joking or you are just being vindictive? I assume you can understand English and the meaning of PUBLIC FIGURE. Next time you will be refusing to accept that Edgar Lungu is former president because according to you he’s a thug
Spot on Dr. Mumba. Makes us wonder how we Zambians can even be supporting people who stole from the Public. The Selfishness, Arrogance of the PF members is despicable. Lusambo and many others who stole should be arrested.
Yes a rich man can be a thief. One local rich gave the church his Mercedes Benz car for a fund raiser. A draw was made. After going through the sold raffle tickets he decided to take all the money telling the members that the money raised was below his reserve price for the car.
If an audit was carried out on the ACC staff, you will find that they even more corrupt than these people they’re detaining. Imagine this prosecutor…he has Merc, he has houses, his children are in overseas universities etc..all this on policeman’s salary. This is the more reason Levy Mwanawasa formed the Task Force on Corruption.
Nevers is just okay. Stop demonizing him. He is very right, the PF chaps will sober down with time. It is not easy to loose power, they don’t know how to handle it, they see HH as the person who deprived them that is why when they are cornered by Police they falsely blame HH and they are very good with their trade of lying, look at how they are unfairly using false propaganda as usual and blaming UPND for the cancellation of the Kabwata by election. And yet UPND has a very strong candidate in Kabwata
Nevers Mumba is spot on! Their voices will quiten down once they face real justice. They are still in denial.
Most of us..80% know that the PF was just a criminal gang masquerading as a political party
The PF thugs and criminals are in a state of confusion. Even their supporters like Winter Kabimba with so much hatred for HH.
Well said Nervous, pf must face justice
The hour has come for PF criminals to dance to the prison tune. They squandered the economy with impunity and now is the pay back time. HH must establish a commission that will conduct a life audit to PF members both valid and expired.
No point arguing with a lunatic, lest you also are considered one. Let’s just say we regret having LPM appoint him as our Veep.
See how he has annihilated MMD because of his minute brain?
This former pastor really has a big mouth. Why say all that load of crap this time when you yearned to be on the side of the PF all this while? Wonders shall never end. Muselela kwakaba, former diplomat. Kachingwe suffered at the hands nonentity Mumba. This guy is a shocker.
Any way, every dog has its day.
YAH! AS A PASTOR CONTINUE SPEAKING THE TRUTH, SENSE AND JUSTICE. WELL SAID, ONLY A FOOL CAN ……………..WHAT YOU HAVE SAID AS AN ANALYSIS OVER THE ARRESTS OF CROOKS

Under the “able” leadership of Prophet Nevers Mumba the MMD failed to win even a single seat in Parliament. Like most failures instead of looking inwards he is blaming PF for his poor performance. Pastor Mumba would have added Rupiah Banda to the list of people to be blamed but cannot do that since he is aware that RB and HH are in good books. Pastor Mumba, I know you are broke just go on your knees and beg HH for a job .
