ACTING MMD national secretary, Chembe Nyangu has submitted to the court that party president, Nevers Mumba refused to abort the national executive committee (NEC) meeting despite serving him with an injunction.

Meanwhile, MMD chairperson for the tourism, Lucky Mulusa has applied to join in the matter where two MMD vice presidents have sued Dr Mumba for contempt.

The two, vice presidents for politics Michael Kaingu and his administration counterpart, Brian Chituwo have asked the Lusaka High Court to cite Dr Mumba for contempt for going ahead with the NEC meeting despite having being served with an injunction restraining him from holding the meeting.

According to the affidavit verifying communication of the injunction to Dr Mumba and other NEC members filed yesterday in the principal registry, Mr Nyangu stated that he only read statements from some NEC members and lawyer Makebi Zulu that no documents were served prior through the press.

Mr Nyangu said on April 27, 2014 around 14:10 hours while preparing for the meeting at the MMD secretariat, he was personally served by Messrs Milner Katolo and Associates what appeared to be an ex-parte injunction.

He said the injunction was granted by Judge Eddie Sikazwe restraining him from convening the NEC meeting on the same day and he acknowledged receipt.

Mr Nyangu said upon being served the injunction, he tried to call Dr Mumba on his mobile number but it went unanswered.

He then called Dr Mumba’s spokesperson Muhabi Lungu asking him where Dr Mumba was and informed Mr Lungu about the injunction.

He said later, Dr Mumba told him that he would go ahead with the meeting adding that while he was on the way to Kapingila house where the meeting was being held.

And Mr Mulusa has filed affidavit in support of summon for an order to join the contempt proceedings.

Mr Mulusa said that NEC members were surprised that on April 28, 2014, himself and four others, Dr Chituwo, Dr Kaingu, Dora Siliya and Tobias Kafumukache received disciplinary letters from Mr Lungu preferring charges against them demanding that they exculpate themselves within 10 days.

He said to avoid possibility of multiplicity of actions and to conclude the matter meaningfully, he needed to join the case because he believed that the notices of disciplinary action issued by Mr Lungu were illegal as he was appointed by an illegal meeting.

    • Chembe Nyangu has successfully confused me in his submission.He says that “on April 27, 2014 around 14:10 hours while preparing for the meeting at the MMD secretariat, he was personally served by Messrs Milner Katolo and Associates what appeared to be an ex-parte injunction.

      He said the injunction was granted by Judge Eddie Sikazwe restraining him from convening the NEC meeting on the same day and he acknowledged receipt.

      Mr Nyangu said upon being served the injunction, he tried to call Dr Mumba on his mobile number but it went unanswered”.

      We have been told that the NEC meeting took place at MMD Secrtariat where he received the injunction.Why did Nyangu not serve the same papers to Dr. Mumba before the meeting started????

    • Jerry: you are just a confused chap on your on. The NEC meeting did not take place at MMD secretariat but at kapingila house. Any way, that’s what happens if you have already taken a position.

    • Nyangu the double dealer,the last kicks of a dying horse.You don’t act on rumours especially if you don’t trust the messenger of the rumour.Seeing is believing.Surely all the 30+ NEC Members which included the Legal Chairperson could not see ther Court Order Nyangu is claiming to have given to them in good time b4 the meeting could start.?

    • Bob,you have a point brother! However,where in his submission does Nyangu state that he physically took the Court Injunction ( CI ) to the NEC meeting and showed it to any member of NEC.If Muhabi Lungu is to be believed,he stated that Nyangu was the one who distributed files to NEC members during the meeting but merely left after this assignment.So Bob,it is not a matter of being of fixed position brother but analyzing what happened.

    • Writing a PhD and you do not know the meaning of abortion! Stop embarrassing Nick Mushota please!

    • @ ftj

      I pity losers like you. You are so daft that you can’t think of any other cause for an event apart from it being Kabimba. Even when MMD baleinyelawila pabeka, ati ni fwebo ba PF abalenga. If Kabimba intimidates you that much then no wonder your MMD is a non-starter and is rotting from the head! Stop blaming innocent PF for your MMD failures…that is why I always say MMD deserves to simply die off because even its members are so dull, they can’t think.
      I don’t know about Mr Mmembe and I won’t comment here because he is not a PF party leader.

    • @MWEBESHI AM NOT A FAILURE LIKE YOU WHO IS MAKING IT BEDAUSE PF IS IN POWER.THESE HIRED GUNS HAVE RECIEVED MONEY FROM KABIMBA AND MUMEBE THE WITCHES.YOU ARE A FAILURE LIKE KAIGU AND THE REST HIRED FO.OLS…

    • @ ftj

      Exactly, that is what I mean about you MMD supporters. For example, I didn’t call you a failure in my post above —- what I called you is a LOSER. But, anyway, keep on hallucinating. It is not really my concern. But please stop blaming your ineptitude on other people. It is amazing how you are defending Nevers Sekwila Mumba, when you know that he has never been a leader of an organisation that has survived long: where is his church? Where is the political party he formed? What happened to the political alliance he formed with other parties at the last elections? Why was he fired as vice-president of the country? Even now, why did he disobey a court order not to hold the meeting? Is this the president you want who can disobey the national laws? Your daftness is shocking!!

  1. A bunch of losers fighting Nevers mumba for nothing,with or without nevers mumba,Dora and her empty heads group don’t deserve any Zambian vote.

  2. this is so shameful,i didn’t expect mulusa to sink so low money really corrupts
    anyway you guys must just vacate MMD the four *****S! leave Dr Mumba alone his man with principals unlike you vultures…

    • Please Chibwa…..,use the word chancer correctly(especially on Dr Mumba).I believe you might have some basic education.Even if you hate someone with passion that’s not the way to go.You may die from these illnesses which are caused by hate,bitterness,unforgivenes,depression etc.

  3. These guys are farting all over their party. When they finally finish it will be a very smelly affair indeed…

    • Mafia as you call yourself.Please mind what you vomit,no one can hide in the name of God.God cannot be used by anybody.Leave God out of your ignorance of God Jehovah.You’re either a man of God or not fall stop.God knows them that are His-2Timothy2:19-20.

  4. NEVERS MUMBA is a fake pastor who hides in the name of GOD for personal gains, he calculated this move to disobey the COURT just because he wanted his chola boy MUHABI LUNGU to be National Secretary it is very shameful. Since when did MMD NEC meeting proceedings covered with cameras like that day what was NEVERS trying to prove and to who? I saw it last night on MUVI TV, even when LEVY NGOMA brought the issue of INJUCTION to stop the meeting, all those who debated on the same it is on camera so how is NEVERS going to say he was not told when he invited the cameras himself in he meeting hall. I don’t understand this pastor’s thinking capacity. He has dragged innocent NEC members like Prof. Lungwangwa, Hon. Kazonga and Desai in his dirty politics of lies. This man is CONMAN

    • Cibwa fimo fimo,please leave the name of God out of this.No fake person can hide in the God.You are either a man of God or NOT,full stop-God knows them that are HIS-2Timothy 2:19-20.Don’t use the word’ chancer’ wrongly on Dr Mumba.He is chancing what?Elections where held among 7 candidates.The problem is, these Kaingu and the like thought Dr Mumba could not win,hence their evil actions.Nothing will happen if it’s of God-Job15:35,Isaiah59:4;Is.33:11

  5. what was chanda chimba camera doing in NEC meeting all most to the end, when did chanda chimba became NEC member of MMD? these are questions normal thinking NEC members of MMD should ask NEVERS MUMBA and MUHABU LUNGU. NYANGU was showing loyalty to NEVERS by reporting to him as CHAIRMAN of meeting to stop it, but because this man is arrogant could not listen to NYANGU. ZICTA should be called to court with recorded phone conversation NEVERS and NYANGU had on that day and this will expose NEVERS to lies and crooked. This man seriously is not man of GOD the way he does things it proves that, the spirit of the LORD left him long time ago, now he is just a hypocrite and one of those the bible says not all who call the name of the LORD will enter the kingdom of GOD. MMD is doomed with him

    • STRANGE INDEED! THERE ARE A FEW THINGS THAT NEED CLARIFICATIONS HERE: CHEMBE NYANGU AS ACTING NATIONAL SECRETARY IS THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE MMD AS A PARTY AND THAT IS WHY HE WAS SERVED WITH THE PAPERS ON INJUNCTION. HE IS ALSO THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR CONVENING THE MEETING. NEVERS MUMBA DOES NEED TO HAVE THE PAPERS BUT JUST TO BE TOLD. WHY DID THEY DECIDE TO HOLD THE MEETING AWAY FROM THE SECRETARIAT WITHOUT THE NATIONAL SECRETARY? THE FACT THAT MR. NYANGU WAS SERVED WITH THE PAPERS AS THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF THE PARTY THE MEETING SHOULD NOT HAVE PROCEEDED. WHOEVER CONVENED THE MEETING KNEW WHAT MR. NYANGU HAD AND DECIDED TO IGNORE HIM – MR. NYANGU WAS IRRELEVANT AND WOULD HAVE STOPPED THE MEETING. MR. MUHABI LUNGU RECEIVED THE MESSAGE FROM HIS BOSS BUT COULD NOT ADVISE, WHY?

  6. MMD U should wake up the tribal politics is becoming very strong n Zambia, the reason NEVERS MUMBA can not win an election in 2016 is very simple and I don’t know why MMD NEVERS camp u are pretending that u don’t know. People are saying they cant give one province two chances to rule within 2 terms with two different Presidents as if other provinces have no educated leaders who can rule. This failure SATA is a product of Muchinga in Mpika and NEVERS MUMBA, Muchinga Chinsali ths can not work for now with NEVERS what ever u are going to do, just find another candidate, NEVERS is very much aware of this is just pretending. MUKEEBA ATI TATWAMWEBELE, don’t say u were not warned ba MMD if u continue to gable with NEVERS time is not with u, change now otherwise u hv given HH yapambale

    • Which people naimwe ba melu. But its the same people (if at all they are really saying that) who are going to vote. I think watumiwa na ba pf to disrupt mmd. Let them choose the leader they want. ur the one being tribe. People will vote not based on tribe but look at other factors. Sata was not voted coz of difference in tribe from banda but based on the BUFI he promised. If people want HH, or mumba they will vote.

  7. Ba LT is Chembe Nyangu still ACTING MMD national secretary? Thought Muhabi Lungu was “elected” MMD SG at the now-controversial NEC meeting! Anyway, it is like bola yabipa for the Pastor.

  8. Mushota, Your grasp of the Queen’s language seems to be on the skids, I mean since your delusional Nick dumped you, it would appear your lingua franca at home is Kasai! Maybe you should get your uncle Sata or brother Sekwila “Kulimonesha ta” Mumba to translate these words for you in Kasai.

  9. Here we go again with MMD supporters, or rather PF Haters, waxing rubbish about how Nevers Sekwila Mumba is a victim of a clique of self-centred, power-hungry hyenas…and for all this the source of all this problem is PF and Kabimba. Imwe ba MMD mwali pwalala sana. First of all, Nevers Mumba killed his church, formed his own political party and killed it, joined and alliance and killed it, joined MMD to be Vice-President and until the President fired him, and now you want to convince us that this power-hungry clueless dull brainless conman called Nevers Mumba is a saint being hounded by a handful of power-hungry individuals in MMD? Nangu utulo tefyo balala bonse, imwe ba MMD mwaliendelela – tamubuka no kubuka! Imitwe yenu naindabwisha sana efyo itontonkanyana! Shalenipo!

  10. There is no question in my mind that this good man turned rascal, short-circuited democracy within his political party; mainly to ward off an on-going campaign against him. The NEC meeting was called out of desperation as a way to incapacitate his opponents; who had determined that they had had more than enough of his petty politics and were absolutely resolved to fight for his demotion from the party presidency. It would seem though that his initiative may have backfired and the fight is still on. Cutting corners is not the best way to win a race.

  11. Jerry: Am humbled by your response. At least we still have people who can debate with sober minds. However, i still believe both camps have not handled the rangles in the MMD as expected from mature people. Two wrongs never make right. Abrogating the law with impunity is not the best way of resolving the current issues in the former ruling party. For me, it is like Dr, Mumba was in a hurry to push his own director of communication in a vantage position so that he can easily deal with the Kaingu group. Now it seems this has backfired. you cant disregard the injunction on the pretex that it was issued on saturday or sunday when this is a normal practice world over. Judges work 24/7.

  12. Even recording phone calls this has been a big plot but God shall expose it for the sake of the innocent team.

  13. These activities in the past few weeks have clearly not been about failed leadership but rather about petty jealousies and other factors. In life people will reap what they sow to the innocent team be strong and courageous this too shall pass and make you stronger.

  14. Has Mumba been found quilty of contempt by a lawful court? Zambian educated people are to quick to response this is why country is where we are. There is no need to rush to inclusions based on evidence or affidavit sworn by one person. Have you read the affidavit in defence sworn by the opposing side? Wait for the judge to pass judgement. The guilty can only be confirmed by the learned judge.

  15. The courts are supposed to discharge justice and they need to be respected. Nevers disrespected the Courts by ignoring the injunction. Why kind leader is he who behaves is above the law before he becomes even state president? Nevers behaves like Sata, no respect for the law. He is a bad egg. While people are saying Kaingu and Team are sponsored by PF, I would like to contend that it is actually Nevers and Muhabi who are sponsored by Sata. Sata is close friends with Muhabi’s father Mkhondo Lungu. People are being taken for a ride by believing that Kaingu, Chituwo, Mulusa and Siliya are supported by PF. The ones supported by PF are Nevers, Lusambo and Muhabi. Watch this space!
