Dr.Nevers Mumba has taken decisive steps to address what he describes as a malicious campaign aimed at tarnishing his reputation. Dr.Mumba expressed his intentions to pursue legal action against Chris Zumani Zimba, citing defamation and character assassination.
The controversy arose when Mr. Zumani authored a statement, responding to remarks made by Nevers Mumba during his live address. Allegedly, Zumani’s response contained fabrications, twisted facts, and outright lies, all with the intent of besmirching the Dr.Mumba’s name.
Below is the Full Statement
Fellow Citizens,
I came across a statement authored by one Chris Zumani Zimba in which he took time to respond to a statement which I made during a live address carried on my official face book page.
In his response, Mr Zumani went to great lengths in trying to run a narrative that sought to define me, using lies and deceit, made-up stories and twisted facts all in an effort to destroy a name I have built with God’s help over many decades. It is such character assassination like I have not heard before. All from an individual I have never known or met in my life.
I have therefore, instructed my lawyers to commence a Legal Action against Mr. CHRIS ZUMANI ZIMBA this week. I believe this will give us an opportunity to respond to each of the lies he has written in a respected and sober setup on the one hand, while also ensuring that he is given a fair opportunity to prove his many allegations against myself.
It is my decided aim, that may this case become a beacon in the land, and a legal precedence to ensure that after this, nobody, in this, our great nation, should ever wake up and maliciously smear lies and defame another person.
I further wish to place on record the fact that I do not take lightly, the trouble, the sacrifice and the total self restraint I have had to endure and hold on to, over many, many years to preserve my name, my respect, and my Integrity, both here and abroad. In the past, we have ignored these “bar talk” lies but now realize that if left unchallenged many weak hearts actually take them as the gospel truth.
I believe that such immoral politics shall continue in our governance space unless someone stands up, and pays the price to fight it, not through violence, vengeance or insults, but through a thorough process of FACT CHECKING under the auspices of the competent Courts of Law.
I believe that good is powerful enough to overcome evil and that Truth must never cower in the face of Malice and Lies.
It remains one of my truest mandates to help clean up Zambian politics and with God’s help, Zambia Shall be saved.
Dr.Nevers Mumba
Ex con Mumba Squealer Mumba,
All your dirty linen will be exposed in your law suit
Ba Nevers grow up, ukulinganya amapulli with kids is lack of character.
How much ka Chris can pay you, just that mouse alone.
Let Mumba defend his name and reputation it is his constitutional right .If you have any evidence against him prove it in a court of law and not mudslinging in the mass media.
When a dog barks. As a human don’t bark at the dog in return.
It’s high time to rise to the occasion and be counted to fight against the suffering of people and solve issues affecting them.
Mr Mumba must make sure he’s covered all the loop holes and the case goes a judge who’s manipulable. Otherwise he might go broke paying those legal fees.
The other thing why can’t people retire peacefully like our father Mr Elias Chipimo.
What happened to this clergy? Yeah neh, why are pipo so short-sighted kanshi? Greediness i guess
This is a good move by Dr Mumba. If Dr Zumani was telling the truth about Dr Mumba then he has a very good platform to produce his evidence. On the other hand if he was not, then he thoroughly deserves what is coming to him. Let’s all be encouraged to raise the level of our discourse no matter our inclination.
Ba Pastor!
AT THE MOMENT, PF FELLOWS ARE ATTENDING COURT SESSIONS ALL BECAUSE THEY GOT SO DRUNK WITH POWER THAT UP TO NOW MOST OF THEM DO NOT CARE FOR THE LAW OF THE LAND. CHRIS ZUMANI IS EDUCATED ENOUGH TO KNOW WHE4N HE IS TRANSGRESSING THE LAW. BECAUSE HE WAS A SUDENT OF PF IRRESPONSIBILITY, LET HIM BITE THE BARROW OF THE GUN NOW.
Can someone help me, where did Chris Zumani get his PhD from?
Just Google.
Hi the reason am asking is that I have googled and failed to find any source not even his bio that he has a PhD. His own bio says : I am Former Political Advisor to Zambia’s 6th Republican President, Political Science PhD Finalist, Lecturer, Author, Policy Analyst, Governance Consultant, Social Researcher and Civil Society Practitioner. As a political scientist and governance expert, I was a part time lecturer at the University of Zambia-UNZA
What is a PhD finalist when you already have a title Dr ?
I can not even find anywhere he says which university he got the PhD from
I can not even find anywhere he says which university he graduated from
With a Phd
Probably the same place where Kambwili got his.
He’s actually a part time lecturer at one of our universities.
Do you know which university he got his PhD from? He his not even on LinkedIn
It’s a game of thrones….why not leave the stage…. people like Edgar Lungu, Nevers Mumba, Mr Enoch Kavindele should live quiet and respectful lives instead of aging in mud slinging.
regardless of age, political association, tribe, education religious beliefs, every Zambian has the right to personal integrity (to be respected). freedom of expression doesn’t mean insults, defamation, teasing, threatening or bullying others: or an ‘open cheque’ to immoral speech.
This is a good attitude.
Freedom of Speech or Expression is just that. Free to express yourself. The only two guard rails are Defamation and Libel. Everything else is game. Only personal morality matters but it is not illegal. So, help Nevers to understand that. He has been to school and is knowledgeable.
Thanks for this. Though this may be unrelated it is still unjust,we are still dancing to the daily evening drill from ZESCO in Mtendere/PHI this evening. Power went at 12hrs today and came after 20hrs the normal loading schedule and by 20 28, it was gone again as like every evening here. As usual, there will be no word from anybody at ZESCO. Business as usual.
