Zambian High Commissioner to Canada, Nevers Mumba has predicted that Zambia will have a sustainable, vibrant and diversified economy during President Rupiah Banda’s reign.
Dr. Mumba said the country under President Banda’s leadership has seen robust economic growth coupled with an unprecedented infrastructure development programmes especially in the social sector.
He told ZANIS in an interview that it was therefore important for Zambians to build on the achievements that have been registered through various economic diversification programmes.
Dr. Mumba hoped that government will ensure that the fundamental socio-economic policies that have contributed to recent growth and macroeconomic stability are strengthened.
He said it was gratifying that government has huge amounts of money in its reserves and has continued to register single digit inflation.
Dr. Mumba said Zambians in the diaspora are happy with President Rupiah Banda’s
setting up of a desk for them at State House.
He said the Zambian diplomatic mission in Canada will continue marketing the
country as a preferred tourism and investment destination in Africa.
Dr. Mumba was among other Zambian heads of missions abroad that attended the 2011 Heads of Missions and Senior Management Conference in Chisamba which ended yesterday.
And the Unemployment Association of Zambia has unanimously resolved to support President Rupiah Banda and the Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) during the forthcoming general elections.
Association president Mpundu Mwanamwelwa told journalists at a press briefing in Lusaka today that the organisation will rally behind President Banda because of his government’s good economic policies.
Mr. Mwanamwelwa said President Banda’s government has created jobs in the country thereby meeting the association’s aspirations.
He said his organisation, which was formed in 2008, has a sole responsibility of lobbing government to create more jobs for the benefit of all Zambians, which President Banda has started addressing.
He said the President deserves another term of office so that he continues with his development programmes which his administration initiated a few years ago.
Mr. Mwanamwelwa said the current government has built many schools, hospitals, clinics and revamped the agriculture sector to guarantee food security in Zambia.
He said the Unemployment Association of Zambia has so far mobilised over 1.5 million registered voters to vote for President Banda in this year’s elections.

Mr. Mwanamwelwa said he was confident that President Rupiah Banda is going to win this year’s election without much difficulty because people will base their voting on what he has done for the country.
He said his organization will help the MMD to conduct a vigorous campaign for President Banda to get a resounding victory.
Mr. Mwanamwelwa has also warned youth in the country not to vote for leaders promoting violence in this country because such leaders would plunge Zambia into chaos, a thing he said should not be entertained at all costs.
He also called on all youths in Zambia to support President Banda if they were to benefit from 50,000 jobs government is scheduled to create in the next few years.
And speaking at the same occasion, Labour Consultant and Human Rights Association of Zambia General Secretary Agrippa Tembo said government should continue empowering youth so that they may be able to stand on their own.
Mr. Tembo further called on all investors in Zambia to complement government efforts in the area of job creation.
He said investors should also stop the trend of recruiting staff from their countries of origin but to always adhere to the labour laws of Zambia.
He expressed sadness that some employers have continued to pay workers as low as K200, 000 despite government increasing the minimum wage of K419 000.

Mumba is not a doctor mwe bantu. From which university? Dr. Chiluba, Dr. Cosmas, Dr. this Dr. That. Mumba is still working on his masters. He has a hon doctrate, which can not be used before his name. Mandela, Bush, etc have the same hon doctrates, but you will never hear them being ref to as doc. It is a Zambian thing cought from Nigeria where people love titles.
Just work hard and get yours. stop talking about your friends.
Hello Dr. Mumba! I miss you man of God! God bless you!
You can bet your man coming back home after we have voted them out!
Thats a wrong prediction iwe chi Nevers, the correct one is when Sata is elected president. Pabwatooooooooooooo
Whose economy are you talking about bro?
Pastor you are just broke. If you don’t sing rupia’s praises you will be fired
Zambia shall be saved………here goes the opportunist again. This uy is a job seeker……….tension hey!
Nice to hear from you Rev. Mumba.

This guy is one mad man of god when we were fighting to remove Unip in 1991 he said that he had a vision that there was going to be a lot of. Violence which never happened he formed a useless party which failed and when behind evey one to seek for a job frtom Mwanawasa, I wonder what has become of his church, we need change of government so that such *****s can be fired!
This Nevers id/io/t is not supposed to be partisan. As High Commissioner or Ambassador you are a civil servant you m/o/ro/n! Anyway what do you expect from a thief. This chap stopped his Christian nonsense when his material supporters in the USA found out that he was stealing their Aid meant for the poor.
For Christ’s sake, who are members of the Unemployment Association of Zambia?
Politics of the belly. Just support the person who feeds you otherwise an axe can fall. But I thought you are representing Zambia and not Rupiah! Kaya…
Which organisation is unemployment association? Where are its offices located? Who are its member and how many are they? Where are the 1.5million voters you’ve mobilised to vote for MMD or is it just politics of belly? Good that pf is coming to create quality jobs then you will be rendered irrelevant.
# 9, #8 im neither a turn coat nor a thief. I make a prudent observation based on whats on the ground. Does your Sata talk about development? The 90 days plan of action? Shame.
Ka Sekwila Mumba aroso, kanshi this politics of “sebana wikute” yobe ikapwa lilali? This chap used to lodge in Simon Mwewa’s servant’s quarters where Levy pulled him out to make him veep and “awe sure” everyday in the office Mumba was behaving like he was presiding over a “victory Ministries” crusade rally until he started lying about Zaire undermining Zambia and Levy fired the silly lumpen. You should have seen the poverty that descended on him and the depth he sank on his knees to ask Kansundila for a job. Such political mercenarism stinks to the very heavens above.
Look who’s talking, The once man of God, opportunistic, unprincipled, overzealous, doubiously charismatic, “pastor”, “dr”, “bishop”, “unhonourable” never say, Nevers Mumba. Can’t some people learn to shut up? Just a few years ago the buddy was telling us it was a demotion joining politics. Fusekeee!!
Stop running your mouth just because your job is at stake by the end of the year. Malabishi:-w
Pabulalo!! what happened to you? We know you are saying this just to save your job. Deep down your heart you know the misery Zambians are going through with your rupia.
Good evening
Well, I would like to believe the predictions of Mr. Mumba but the fact is that there is nothing really predictable in politics. Former Tunisian president Ben Ali, Egyptian leader Mubarak and Libyan president Gadaffi were also once hailed as a men with vision and commitment who would get rid of poverty and transform their countries into a thriving economies. And now look at how things have ended up for all of them.
Both sata and nevers are the biggest political jokers zambia has ever had.they are both deceitful,liars ,unprincipled and just like nevers ‘ zambia shall be saved”,chilufya seems to have managed to hypnotize the masses with his patriotic party.
MWANDAMA
Unemployment association of zambia?where the heck are those clowns from?1.5 million my ass.an insult to all the unemployed out there prayin for a job..and why the hell are we happy with 50pin jobs been created.by any measurement the unemployment numbers run into the millions.wtf is 50pin jobs goin to do?
MWANDAMA
GODCHILD
Predict or Prophecise? BE ASURED OF A BIG ENONOMIC BOOK COZ RB WILL REMAIN PRESIDENT. HH IS FINISHED, HE IS USED TO LOOSING ELECTION, WINTER KABIMBA HAS NAILED MICHEAL.
Hey guys please be respectful. He who has not sinned let him cast the first stone. Please be respectful.
Mumba if you are having a nice time there just bringing briefcase investors to RB, remember this time around we do not want anyone who failed us before, no recycled politicians whose job is just politics as they cannot make a living without it.
@19.
I understand your amazement. But take into consideration the massive despondency and unemployment that pervades our country. Sata has been for a long time the only politician who voiced these issues. Most other politicians have kept their message obscure and hard to undertand for the average person. So the other politicians take some of the blame for failimg to connect to the masses.
Utuchawa Bu Muzungu Wanga Uncle Tomming! The virtues of Zambian politics. Which Banda and the MMD have exported to the rest of society. Starting with the Media
What a sick Fu** this A++ho++ is, he is just a job seeker. These guys have reamed RB’s a** so clean he doesnt have to push to do the doodo! This makes me sick! No wonder is quit!!!
mumba good to hear from u thax and may the good lord continue blesing u.
Ba Nervous, of course for you its R.B for presido or no job! Nkongole zibaba ka! So I dont blame the faithful bootlicker u’ve turned yourself into!
Unemployment Association of Zambia has been around since 2008, how many of u bloggers new of its existence?
Plz sir,give us more details about the association? Is it a coincidence that it came in to being in 2008?
And which 1.5million voters for the hybernating, if at all it even exists, Unemployment Association of Zambia, have they organized, are those 1.5million voters human beings and Zambian?
Are civil servants allowed to campaign?
Who ever runs the unemployment association of Zambia is employed!
To get a Job in Zed you have to kiss them Bosses everywhere even in the Ntwenokane
I can’t believe the level of hatred that Zambians carry as seen from this blog. Your hate and Pull Him Down (PHD) syndrome most of you bear will carry you to hell and those you think will be there, to your surprise will be on the other side. Stop it! It is being childish.
Sense! Atleast someone has noticed for once…Katwishi uko ichalo chesu chileya.
Preacher-man shut up, you have had your say and now the young ones want to do their thing too.
#9 watch your tongue never call things of God as nosense.If you have no respect for things of God you’re cased and you don’t deserve to live at all.
Mr Never, can u please leave that seat for me now, i am only 35 yrs old with no job with all them papers, up tp PHD.
ShutUp.
Ba Mumba this is not the time to make jokes, what are you talking about? i respected you but i never knew that you are as useless as rb, can you surely give support to such a finished product? Mumba dont fool people of Zambia, if you have been sent as a false prophet you will be dissapointed boyi…dont be the voice of RB. ….go to shit.
Politics of the belly. One way of saying I need another five year contract here in Canada. Do not beat about the bush.
He is another let down especially that he uses his church position to advance his selfish ambitions. Lets not forget this is a man who had ambitions of being in state house.
Sata’s a Bad Product – Veep
VICE-PRESIDENT George Kunda has said Patriotic Front (PF) president Michael Sata is a bad product that cannot sell to the people of Western Province no matter how much effort the Post Newspaper dedicates itself to the malicious campaign aimed at dividing Government and the people in the area.
Mr Kunda also said all the crimes committed by Mr Sata had been published in the old Post newspapers where they described him as a sadist, corrupt, liar, inconsistent and threatened to expose him by publishing the injured youths and residents during by-elections when he was MMD national secretary.
Mr Kunda challenged the PF to explain why it had not included homosexuality in the newly launched manifesto when it had become clear that the issue was top priority on their international agenda as the means of raising resources.
The vice-president said Zambians must become exceedingly worried that Mr Sata last week revealed that he was a Catholic fundamentalist because fundamentalists do not believe, accept and tolerate other religions and that other churches such as the Pentecostal believers would not enjoy their peace under Mr Sata.
politics of the belly at its best
Addressing multitudes of residents who welcomed him at Mongu Airport ahead of today’s Kuomboka traditional ceremony that takes place in Mongu today, Mr Kunda said The Post Newspaper alongside Mr Sata and some Catholic priests were worried when they heard that he would attend the Kuomboka ceremony because he attacks Mr Sata.
He told the residents that the attacks on him were aimed at discouraging him from attending the Kuomboka ceremony because heattacks Mr Sata to make up for his unrestrained lies and malice which he had staged for the last 10 years and that Government never answered him back.
“So right now The Post and some priests are worried that George Kundais going to Mongu, Kaoma and Copperbelt, we are in trouble. Now Sata has reached a level where he is writing letters to the president complaining that I am defaming him.
I don’t know whether he forgets for 10 years he has been insulting me, the late president Levy Mwanawasa and President Rupiah Banda.
We were under siege from his defamatory statements,” Mr Kunda said.Saint John’s priest Father Gregory Muliya, was quoted in Thursday’sedition of The Post Newspaper as saying Mr Kunda would be rejected in Mongu.
“Mr Kunda said Mr Sata recently wrote a letter to President Banda pleading that he was being defamed by me forgetting that he had beendoing the same for many years,” he said.
He said some civil society organisations had taken to attacking him and President Banda because they had vowed not to tolerate homosexuality in Zambia.
Mr Kunda said the Kuomboka traditional ceremony was a moment to share ideas about development and traditional values and not promote divisions like The Post and Mr Sata had done.
Mwata i cant understand what you are saying.we have already read this crap.can u tell us what is in your head,not what has been said.Are u a reporter who reports about what has been already reported?Are u a repeater station?

“all the crimes committed by Mr Sata had been published in the old Post newspapers where they described him as a sadist, corrupt, liar, inconsistent and threatened to expose him by publishing the injured youths and residents during by-elections when he was MMD national secretary”.
Hypocrite Mumba. The fellow is just a muselela kwakaba. The fact that he supports RB is a sure sign that his mind is also dafted.
# 51 cletus
mwata uses disinformation and slanders to discredit
but time is running out…
his cronies -thieves and crooks- are going to be kicked out…. :-)))))
#29 and others, be careful on what you say, you may find cursing yourselves to the grave.
@Mwata:
My advice to you; please know that people who frequent LT are most likely literate and intellectually astute individuals. They know how and where to find THE POST newspaper and read for themselves. How those facts/non-facts influences them is none-of-your-business!!
As for Dr.?! Nevers Mumba, the only thing I remember about him is as a Pentecostal zealot in the 1990s. I know much about his politics, but as a civil servant he completely out of order to campaign for RB. If he feels strongly about his preferred candidate the moral thing to do is quite his job and join politics full-time—-this is not to say civil servants can’t have a political opinion, NO!, but this is clearly a campaign statement—-and that is what is wrong here.
Nevers Mumba just shut up, whom are you telling all this nonses? No wonder you sold the house that was given to you in parklanads/riverside kitwe.Fake pastor. What has happened to the so called Zmabia shall be served theme? Ubuwelewele uluke. Satana wakantu iwe you think God is cheap as you are foolish pastor. You will perish with RB.
Never Mumba has smelled vacant vice-presidency in MMD, because everyone knows that Ba George Kunda will not make it into the next cabinet.
hats off to your observation but i think you need someone to align your moustache/beard
Unemployment What? What do they stand for, to perpetuate unemployment?
Very sad to see a grown man kiss ass for for job! Just sad.
Nevers is in Tarshish, begging for jobs from pagans!
These are politics of the pocket. God knows which way it will go. He has times and seasons for all things including peace, prosperity and providing leadership.
Ba Nevers ex-Presidential Material reducesd to diplomatic cadre. What a shame! Its true you are totally out of touch with whats happening in your own country,ba Pastor. Mind you RB is busy packing his bags every night as we draw towards the election day! Maybe its time for some of you diplomats who are only their to play the piper started packing your bags too!
#3 Lmao! “Iwe chi Nevers” Lol, funny stuff man.
“Man of God” turned politician, how convenient would RB’s re-election be for him? It would just mean that Tax payers in Zambia can continue funding his residence in Canada, that’s all it is.
politics of sebana wikute, ba mumba ukulyeni fye ku canada we will soon recall u.

where has this embecile come from again? he should thank lesa u ushisala who allowed him in his idiosy to lead a church he later abandoned. Nevers when shall you ever have the wisdom to talk when it is necessary and knowledgeble. Katwishi na ba madam nga balapelako advice ba mumba mulisebanya imwe.!!!!!!!!!
Lameck Mpundu Mwanamwelwa–Unemployed Association of Zambia, an oddity itself–is a crook from Ndola. I know the ka chap personally. He should not be taken seriously by anyone, least of all the media, state and otherwise. In Ndola, he borrowed money from all and sundry and failed to pay rent for his house at the Masala Chinese Complex. He was not “evicted”, he just ran away only to resurface in Lusaka as UAZ chairperson. #Kelenka.
Ba Nevers are you saying that to continue staying in CANADA. Time will catch up wth you. Remember Zambia shall be saved by God and thru prayers and hard working and not by having people who boot lick and praise others like you do. The people of Zambia have suffered alot. I remember the time you visited ridgeway cumpus with the likes of Simata Simata when you were fighting Chilubas lead MMD you talked of sensible things that if someone who died after listening to your in 1998 and rose up today and listened to the Same Nevers he had listened to13 years ago, he would colapse and die again. The same applies to Simata. What has come of you two guyz? Isnt poverty or greedness?
today’s comments made me laugh! We have in ZED serious comedians! I like the comment by #72. This guy really made me laugh! If someone who heard Nevers speaking in 1998 and dead and then rose from the dead today will collupse and die! Hahahaha!
Mumba just chow our money peaceefully ,you have deceaVed a lot such thta not even God wants you nearby him.*****
It is not chow. It is chew please
Nevers Mumba has put the word of God in disrepute. It’s a shame that he still believes that he can continue to cheat people. The similarities between Nevers and Chiluba are very striking. Chiluba used workers and the trade union to achieve selfish goes and now he’s is hiding in Christianity after the wrongs he has committed. Nevers used Christianity to ascend to political positions. I am sure these people will be made to account for their wrongs by the people they think they cheat.
What a shameless, dishonest, disreputable, greedy, corrupt, selfish sorry excuse for a “man of God”. There……I feel so much better now that I have gotten that off my chest. We all know the nonsense coming out of his mouth is just self preservation. Absolutely disgusting!
Yaba! Does Nevers read LT? Kusebana uku zoona! Puhwa haha.
It is interesting to see how much emotions Nevers can invoke in us. Indeed he had made grave mistakes which I believe he deeply regrets. If asked to rewind his life, he would certainly not do it again. However, he does have some good qualities to copy such as presentation and a strong will-power which we can then apply in our personal contexts to go higher.
nevers…..shut the f.u.c.k up.
Nevers is a desperate man who looks for economic opportunities even if it means using God’s name. Has Nevers got a first degree? May be his academic foundation is poor that is why he is failing to complete a Maters degree. He is actually a snob this fella.
from no 7 you would be tempted to think that bembas like easy things…oh don’t they?
Voteni pabwato mwebantu change of ubuteko kwindi ngakokola asanguka family member
Mwe Bantu, enough has been said. He who has ears let him hear.
Nevers with politics of the belly haaaaaaaaaaa, haaaaaaaaa.
How embarrasing to see a man of GOD bootlicking. Make sure Ba mumba you carry as much household stuff on your way back home ku Zambia. i don’t you’re any were near recycling for any political position. if banda loses thats it-go back to the land.

That an organisation for an employed people should exist (and decide to vote for MMD) is a contradiction in terms.
Hi Dr Mumba,thanks for your insightful thought you share with us anytime you are in Ghana(Accra)I.C.G.C.We appreciate you.Keep champinion course.God richly bless you.
all i can read is “Dr” Mumba saying, holla i’m still around, please vote MMD so i can still enjoy my rewards for my political attempts
When children gave K10,Millio kwachas to chruches,Pastor Nevers Mumba rushed quickly to receive it.Pastor Sky Banda said no.Its from then that i knew that this nincoopoomp was worse that Jusas Iscariot,worse than Peter.I never missed Zambia Shall be saved.But you broke my spirit.You will bow like the devil I.DI.O.T
I imagine Mr Nevers Mumba has read most of the comments on this blog and besides the insults, they resonate with such truth and the opinion of most Zambians about the individual person of Nevers Mumba. Go into the closet man of God and repent. Realign yourself with the will of God for you. Stay away from politics, its evidently not your calling.. Matthew 7: 22 -23
Ba Mumba if you want to maintain your stay ku Canada shut up at least pretend to be wise…..I once belived in you and when you left the church you have no idea what I have become…..and because you still are refered to as Rev….i will spare you…. #7 interesting info indeed….ba #39 read between what you have said….see if they is any difference with #9 you refering to
only God knows where zambia is going. Rupial cannot really be the best option or sata but at the end of the day we shall have someone as a president.
I dont disagree with this blog…
