12 universities and 12 colleges to benefit free books once government compensates me
By Dr Chris Zimba
…In 2023, the State consented to pay 10 million to a group of 10 UPND cadres who were accused of burning Lusaka City Market in 2017, with each getting K1 million for false imprisonment and malicious prosecution. In like manner, the State agreed to pay more than K32 million to 5 UPND cadres for malicious detention and prosecution in the HH’s treason of 2017; each getting K6.4 million. Such compensations for UPND cadres have become fashionable and common practice ever since with some cabinet ministers, senior ruling party officials all getting the baptism of free tax payer’s money. Recently, the state gave out K10 million to 17 UPND cadres for similar reasons. And more UPND cadres are waiting state compensations…
Our lawyers are still in court as the DPP and Attorney General’s offices are behaving either politically partisan, ethically compromised, professionally conflicted or under a strong Community House spell of phobia over our straightforward compensation. But I am not worried because that money is coming our way sooner or later. Look, I don’t see anybody on earth stopping it successfully because heaven already awarded it to us on the merit of malicious arrest, detention, prosecution and false imprisonment for months last year.
Therefore, when and not if I am compensated by the state (it’s a matter of time) following my malicious and political arrest, detention, prosecution and false imprisonment last year, l will prioritise to find the right printing firm in order to professionally publish all my 14 books. From 2011 to date, l have published 8 books while 6 are finished manuscripts all waiting huge resources to print in mass numbers and distribute widely.
Once I am compensated by the state and print my books when that time comes, l will donate 10 copies of each book to 12 universities as well as 12 colleges in Zambia. This means that each of the beneficiary institutions will receive not less than 140 books in my name. In total, my donations in form of books will benefit 24 higher learning institutions in this country totaling to a minimum of 3,360 Chris ZUMANI Zimba authored books. What will be the money value of these book donations?
If we take K500 as the average price for each of the 14 books, it means l will be donating K70,000 per institution. This will translate into more than K1,650,000 for 24 Zambian universities and colleges. This is the minimum of what l am intending to support in form of useful and critical political knowledge to Zambia in form of books once and when l am compensated.
When you receive huge sums of money at a go like the compensations the state is showering on their UPND cadres like manna, you must create a plan for generous giving and community charity support. Humanly speaking, it is important to find passion in your heart to help others in needy from a point of having so much. But our “well compensated and rich” UPND cadres are doing the opposite as they only vomit and show greediness, arrogance and selfishness so far!
The following are my 14 political and academic books waiting mass print and distribution once I am compensated by the government:

In the book of Numbers 23:19-20, the Bible is very clear and assertive on God’s promise to us as follows: “God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? I have received a command to bless; he has blessed, and I cannot change it”.
So, let Levy Ngoma or Christopher Mundia present this word from God before President HH’s table today!
