MMD leader Dr. Nevers Mumba has advised President Michael Sata to stop intimidating diplomats serving in Zambia.

Dr. Mumba, a former Zambian envoy to Canada stated said it is unwise for any leader to attack diplomats serving in the country.

He was commenting on President Sata’s continued threats on diplomats over their alleged meddling into internal politics.

Dr. Mumba observed that President Sata should use diplomatic channels to address any concerns he may have with the conduct of some diplomats.

He said launching public attacks on the diplomatic community over unsubstantiated allegations is unfortunate.

“No diplomat wants to serve in a mission where you are not respected and the Head of State calls you names, it’s so demeaning and very uncomfortable,’ Dr. Mumba said.

  1. NEVER IS REALLY AN IDIOOT. IN YOUR CORRUPT DIPLOMATIC MISSION DID YOU EVER SEE DIPLOMATS GETTING INVOLVED IN INTERNAL MATTERS OF THOSE COUNTRIES? IF YOU DO YOU GET SENT BACK IMMEDIATELY. THE SAME THING SHOULD APPLY TO ZAMBIA. I ALWAYS WONDER IF NEVERS USES HIS HEAD AT ALL.

  2. Nevers is such a clueless politician, does he honestly expect the diplomats he’s been frequenting will win him an election? Already the so called diplomats have been playing him and the tribalist against each other sizing them up.Preacher man get serious and stop being a tool of imperialists against your own country. Offer solutions to our country’s development if at all you have any.

  3. This country is doomed. To have Sata at the Top is the waste thing that we have ever had as a country. Those of you who celebrated actually celebrated your loss of freedom. Some of you even called us Northwesterners all sorts of names and that we were backward. At least you have seen for yourselves why we rejected that Man. All the best folks.

  4. What’s happening in Zambia?? Seems all these OLD people are a serious problem who will always bring our country down. YOUNG ZAMBIANS, TAKE CHARGE ELSE No Innovation and Improvements. These OLD Guys will fight each other until death on our account. I am Very Disappointed with our so called Leaders?? Very shallow minded, in for their own benefits not Zambians.

  5. Nevers you are always showing your stupidity whenever you answer questions not meant for you. Where did a Zambian diplomat in Canada or wherever challeged the hosting government on political issues? This is Zambia its not the diplomats to tell us what we need to do with our politics but advise us on economical issues.

  6. Go Mumba Go MMD Go HH Go UPND Go Milupi Go ADD Go RP Go NAREP Go…Keep PF on their toes…only then shall they deliver according to public expectation

  7. Pamberi na ZANU PF. This is what Zambia wanted and I did apologise for VOTING for this senile UKWA. We have BOB Mugabe as our role model.

  8. Give us alternative policy to what the PF has, not this rubbish of criticizing even where it is necessary. We want an opposition is able to articulate national economic policy so that we can gauge against the PF’s. This is how you will win the hearts of Zambians. Not the rubbish you Mumba and HH spit from you mouths. 

  9. ba nevers u critising too much do u really think the take of RSZ is a wrong move..come be real RSZ is a money making company and i can tell it will greatly help  our cost of transport to reduce that i can assure

  10. TEBA KU VOTELA ABA AMA CLERGY MEN. NIBAKABOLALA SERIOUSLY. ENA AKALAMONAFYE ATI BANK OF ZAMBIA MA TITHE. ELO AMA COMMERCIAL BANKS SHAMUTULO. MWIKESHA MWEBENA ZAMBIA UKUVOTELA MAKAMAKA UYU WINE MUMBA. AKESAIBA SHONSE.

    • Walasa mwana wesu. Abutwike no mukashi pamulandu wakutemwisha ulupiya. Nikabwalala number one. Uwaleibile ne mpofu ne filema in the name of praying for them.

  11. tell this fool satana .he used the diplomats when he was in opposition.we still remember whenmrs clinton was in zambia.the pics was in front page of the past newspaper.this is the worst president

  12. Diolomats should know where to draw the line, they shouldn’t overstep their boundaries, if they misbehave they are supposed to be called to order.Zambia is a sovereign state and we wont allow outsiders to cause confusion and bring back “divide & rule” tactics,unfortunately Nevers mumba is such a dunderhead he cant see that…what a leader he is.

    can you allow someone to come and meddle in your home regarding how you manage your home?

    There are so many alternatives to the trial and error approach which is unfolding in your country. Think out of the box and ask your beloved leaders to do simple things such as turning the economy of the country around. What is the direction of the Zambian? Your mining sector is standing at cross roads and, why are you not benefiting from copper record high prices? Who is benefiting from your resources? Who is running the Zambian economy? Why is IMF & world bank restructuring your fiscus policy? Why is Zambia ‘s social spending very low? Why don’t you reduce high levels of poverty? I have defined the problems and, now solve them. Viva HH, Peace to all

  14. Sata never threatened any diplomat accredited to Zambia, but merely reminded them that they are bound by the provisions of the Geneva convention in their duties and must cease to interfere in Zambia’s internal politics, failure to which they will be crossing the line and will be expelled.
    Sata never mentioned any diplomat or mission by name.
    I support Sata & the govt stand on this. Foreign missions and their representatives must respect our sovereignty and internal politics just like we respect theirs.
    Sata’s warning is very timely. Nevers learn to tell the truth please!!

  15. You Zambians, you waste too much of your time listening to biased stories which basically tie everyone around a single knot. What are the rationales behind those stories which emanate from your govt? In fact 99% of the rhetoric from Zambia is hardly questioned by the citizens of Zambia and the citizenship is brainwashed into buying the concept that if they praise the leadership for absolutely doing nothing, then development somehow will occur. What sort of a society is this? Development is to central to survival, not pledges or excuses in place of delivering on promises. Zambia has all the solutions to its problems, stop asking others (MMD,UNPD) to offer alternatives. Everything is right in front of you, wake up & get cracking. Foreigners are generating billions of dollars from Zed, ask

    Mumba is just your messeger like any opposition leader i.e. HH. Do not hurt him. Stop being emotional, you Zambians solve your identity resolution first, then once you deal with that human developmental model, you can create true working relationships with p PF or UNPD, MMD. If you have not sucessfully solved your individual identities, then, you will never understand the benefits of any relationship be at micro level, macro level or messo level. Define yourselves as a people with a common cause and your combinations threatens the stability of the PF govt. Your common cause transcends your divisions & eventually transcends those who are not delivering on their promises they made, 90 days & money in your pockets. Unite against people who are not truthful to you.Viva HH,

  17. If sata is president it means that everyone can be president. Sata is confused, sick, drunkard, is not good in English……………

  18. Both HH and Mumba shares the same bitterness angry frustrated disappointed, anything the pf does no matter how good it is  they will never say we done apart from their egos ,

  19. Walasa mwana wesu @Peter. Pantu uyu makaka Nevers Mumba nikabwalala napanshi patalala. Abutwike no mukashi pamulandu wakutemwisha ulupiya. Nikabwalala who should not even be doubted. Uwaleibile ne mpofu ne filema in the name of praying for them, only to run away with their money when he was offered a political position as VP by late Mwanawasa. Uyu ena ni mwansakabinga who should never ever be trusted because he sent people that trusted as a preacher to their early graves. Delve into USA politics and see how fast they will expel you. Ulefwaya ulebepa banani mbulalifulu iwe.

  20. May seem like many of the bad articles are from people who did not Inchtest driveInch the eyeglasses or do very much analysis within the eyeglasses ahead of purchasing them. Oakleys are certainly not cheap, in the slightest.
