Former Cabinet Minister in the MMD government Newstead Zimba has withdrawn a case where he had sued his former wife Naomi over property.

Mr Zimba had also sought an injunction in the Lusaka High Court to restrain her from accessing all bank accounts and interfering with their properties.

In his notice of discontinuance filed in the Lusaka High Court principal registry, Mr Zimba said he had decided to withdraw the matter on grounds that his intentions had been made known through the media.

In his affidavit in support of his latest actions, he said he felt it would be prejudicial for the case to proceed further because the same had appeared in the print media and his essence of his claims had been defeated before the courts could deal and conclude the matter.

“That before the ex-part summons have been dealt with by the court, the said case appeared in yesterday’s print media exposing all the claims and relief that I sought. I have henceforth discontinued this matter which I commenced on July 8 this year, and shall have no further claims,” he said.

In an interview yesterday, Mr Zimba said he had decided to withdraw the matter because there were many ways of resolving family problems affecting the operations of the companies.

He said as far as he was concerned Naomi was the Managing Director and would continue with the same position taking into account the necessary issues of the company itself which was one of the best technical firms in Zambia.

“We shall find other means of sorting out all these issues surrounding the company, Zambian Cosmetology Consultancy limited and the two properties. There are so many ways of resolving such matters rather than dragging each other to court,” he said.

  2. Am surprised the former honourable man didn’t know that if you take matters to court of law, you basically forfeit your right to privacy. The Court is not a hospital. Anybody can go to court and dig up any case filed by anybody ..this is how it has always been and will always be.

    If Mr Zimba wanted privacy in his marital issues, he should have used our tried and tested traditional courts headed by the people he appointed to deliver a few kwacha notes on a close plate to the parents of his spouse. They call them Ba shi Bukombe in my great language. Use that system. It works wonders and is hidden from the prying eyes of the media. Not even the USA ‘s NSA PRISM has access to data in these systems

    • Am an MMD fanboy, always been and always will be and worked hard to build this brand name called MMD Chief Bootlicker, just like a Leopard, I can’t change my MMD spots. MMD for life if you want to call it that ..real true blue at heart

    • Well said MMD Chief Bootlicker.

      You can’t unring a bell as Mr. Zimbabwe is trying to do.

    • You’re lucky if no one spoils it for you. It is a distinct name.

  3. You once were a public figure so any sensitive action or situation around you becomes a concern to everybody. It is just the unknown people like me whose affairs are of little attention to the public.

  4. If Naomi is the so signatory in your company’s bank accounts, just politely talk to her, while in your bed room, and change that so that the two of you can be signing on all the cheques for money withdraws. When this happens, you yourself, Mr Zimba will scrutinise every withdraw voucher before appending your signature on the cheque. When there is anything you don’t agree, you either discuss it over or refuse to sign the cheque. Mwapulika Dada?

    • They are on separation, how can Newstead talk to her in bed? Too late, ka Naomi has already made up her mind and left the old bugger. She has moved on and does not want to entangle herself with old men like him.

  5. Si ndate se a si si ka iketa hande mwa toho. Muna muhulu king butoto cwalo? Ha U zibi kuli hakuna ze patiwa mwa kuta? Kaniti kuku, u sangano!

  8. Thanks for yielding to the positive comments from some bloggers ,we all fall but how we resurrect after is what matters.this is the 1 approach in finding solution to the family crisis u found yourself in.

  12. Very well Mr Zimba, it’s never too late, next time consult with real good people who will give you good advice and dont make descions when you are angry never a good time, otherwise, you have done a good job.

  13. “There are so many ways of resolving such matters rather than dragging each other to court,” he said.”

    This sentence could be interpreted in 2 ways
    1. As conciliatory OR
    2. As a threat – sleep with 1 eye open Naomi!

  14. Bushe how old is Naomi now. naomi is a very smart lady, am sure ba Zimba is threatened.. Sometimes these old men become very arrogant and disrespectful.
