AM READY TO TESTIFY FOR ZUMANI – LUNGU
Muhabi Lungu writes….
This is very interesting. I don’t know Dr. Zumani personally; however, someone can tell him that I would be prepared to be called and testify for him and provide a character witness for Dr. Mumba.
Although I have not asked him about this particular matter, I am pretty sure that even R. Nakachinda would be prepared to give a character evaluation of Dr. Mumba. Although I don’t regard myself as perfect or a saint, I do believe that everyone of us in the political arena offering ourselves for leadership should be ready to be evaluated by the public and not get mad if they can see through our hypocrisy.
For example, why should Bashi Mutende be attacked if he holds an opinion about the socialist party leader? He must have his reasons for holding that opinion. If you have a different opinion, and if you want to be fair, just ask him why he holds this opinion about Fred M’membe.
I too have an opinion about Fred, about HH, and about ECL, just like many of you have an opinion about them and about me. If I express my opinion about, say, Boman Lusambo, just ask me to justify my opinion. Don’t attack or quickly dismiss my opinion because it may be helpful to you.
It is common and useful in true democracies to evaluate the past behaviour of people. Because people don’t suddenly change their characters when they get into office. In fact, the bad side of their characters is accentuated by power.
So, let us honestly be allowed to dig into the past history of our leaders and evaluate them so that we don’t put dangerous people in the office. So that we don’t start complaining later that nobody told us.
There are far too many fake and dishonest people in our politics who go around pretending that they are holy and good when, in fact, they are not. I for one, the day I tell people that I want to lead you, please dig out all the nasty things I have ever done so that people can discover who I truly am.
As for Dr. Mumba, in the spirit of informing the public, I am willing to be put on the stand and share my personal experience with him, and I know a lot. Somebody call me to court, and under oath, I will testify. See less
Yes, everyone has things in their past they are not 100% happy or comfortable with.
BUT calling someone a SNAKE, not once but repeatedly on different occasions is indefensible. I hope Muhabi is not taking oath to substantiate calling someone a snake.
Muhabi is free to go and milk legal fees from whomever he wants. If Zumani has farked up, he is fair game for any hungry lawyer.
Calling some one a snake is a metaphor in English. It’s not just in Bemba… I won’t quote Bemba snake metaphors as Tribalists may choke me as they are trying to choke that Innocent ZNBC presenter!
“He has the character of a Snake”
“He is a snake”
“Slippery as a snake”
And Nervous Mumba is indeed a very big snake…He could have eaten Levy Mwanawasa alive, but offcourse Mwanawasa saw the schemes of the snake..and got rid of him fast. The record shortest period in Zambia’s history some one has ever served as VP.
Is he not the one who subtly engineered the Espionage Case against Fred Mmembe and ambassador Mwamba?
Snake in the grass. Sly as a snake. He has a serpent’s tongue….
Meaning deceitful, dishonest, dangerous, a Lying tongue etc. And these characteristics fit Nervous Mumba perfectly.
Iwe, in Bemba if you are called a snake even repeatedly it means you are a sellout, treacherous and dishonest. Simple, that’s what Nevers Mumba is. A snake.
Just because you call each other snakes in Kasama does NOT mean that that is the norm every where and it is therefore acceptable. Dr Nevers Mumba has not done anything to Zumani to elicit the barage of malice and hatred that has been displayed on this platform. Zumani has exhibited pathological hatred for HH as demonstrated by his writing several articles against HH every week. HH has accorded every former vice president of Zambia the respect they deserve regardless of any skeletons they have in their closets. These individuals served our nation in that capacity in the past, we can not erase or forget about the service they rendered. If Zumani choses to vilify anyone, there will be consequences. More especially if that kind of vilification is the norm in Kasama.
A snake like you, your mother and grandmother combined!
Whatever the case, Former Vice – President Mumba stands out. He can’t be compared with these evil noise markers who always like creating problems in the society because of a coin of silver. Mr. Mumba is a great man of God and still stands out for the right. People can cook up things just to discredit him. I tell you Mr muhabi and your zuman and nakachinda you will end up thinking of your wrongs if by the grace of God you reach 70 years or so because this is the time when most of the time you will be alone and rewinding in your head on issues you have done previously wrong
So yes, Mr. Mumba can have some weaknesses here and there being human but he is far much better in terms of integrity and Morality. You will see how you will fall you zuman and muhabi.
May the Almighty God you serve, servant of God honourable Mumba stand for you even in the midst of these lions you will still be with your God and will come out clean in Christ JESUS’S name.
Thank you, Muhabi Lungu, for this very candid posting. But if you offer yourself for leadership election, why should people have to dig up the bad things you have done instead of you telling them without being asked? Are Nevers Mumba’s weaknesses so bad that he cannot do any good? I actually want to see Muhabi Lungu in parliamentary politics one day so that he gets thoroughly tested in the real world.
The problem is Muhabi Lungu doesn’t understand English. We are not talking about his foolish and childish opinion of Fred Mmembe here.
But what is required of him to prove whether his illusions of opinions is TRUE! There’s no point of harbouring an opinion which you know is untrue. Someone to explain this to Mahabi in Nyanja or Nsenga please so that this dunderhead can understand.
Chilyata, you can still make your points without insulting Muhabi Lungu. He’s your fellow citizen and he’s not going to go anywhere. He doesn’t owe that citizenship to you. This is politics. Do not pollute politics because it is all we have to deal with collective issues.
Rubbish
