Chitambala Must Apologise to Dandy Krazy and families to the deceased persons
Amb. Emmanuel Mwamba wrote;
On New Year’s Eve, musical artist, Wesley Chibambo, a.k.a. Dandy Krazy, his musical and production crew had a gig in Kitwe.
On their way, sadly a careless, over-speeding and dangerous truck driver went into their lane and rammed into the vehicle near Kapiri Mposhi.
This resulted in a fatal and tragic accident that saw four people die.
The driver of the Shackman truck, identified as Mr. Hachalwa Lweendo, aged 28, of house number 175/48, Makeni Township, Lusaka, has since handed himself over to the authorities.
Lweendo, who is an employee of Kresco General Dealers based in Lusaka, handed himself at Luanshimba Security Check-point.
Enter vlogger Chitambala Mwewa a.k.a Simon Mwewa Lane.
Mwewa immediately condemned Dandy Krazy accusing him and his fellow artist of drinking and driving.
He used derogatory epithets against Dandy Krazy.
There was an immediate backlash against these social-media posts by Chitambala and his false assertions that Dandy Krazy was drinking and driving.
Mwewa’s rantings exposed his naked hatred he harbours against Zambian musicians and the Patriotic Front.
But probably to Mwewa’s greatest shame, both President Hakainde Hichilema and former President Edgar Lungu have issued statements of condolences and words of prayers and encouragement to Dandy Krazy and the deceased families.
Further, the Ministry of Youth, Sport & Arts has condemned Simon Mwewa for his foolish, prejudicial and insensitive remarks against Dandy Krazy and other artists, who he assumes just spend time consuming alcohol and being careless.
But Mwewa has remained unrepentant posting more views; “Don’t drink and Drive” even when it is clear that Dandy Krazy who is still battling for his life and admitted to the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) and the deceased support crew, are mere victims of this accident crash.
We should remember that Simon Mwewa was part of the political campaigns for the Patriotic Front in 2021 and was handsomely paid for his influencer work.
But to create distance with the party, when President Hichilema won the 2021 elections, Simon lept to their side and began a vicious campaign against the PF terming it as the Notorious Patriotic Front (NPF).
He raised a slanderous and defamatory social-media campaign against former President Lungu, his family and senior leaders of the party such Stephen Kampyongo, Bowman Lusambo and others.
He was looking for attention. He got it.
With this opportunistic and shameless campaign against the PF, he was embraced by the UPND and was used as a useful idiot in the fight against the Patriotic Front.
So in his self-serving view and opportunistic move, he assumed that because Dandy Krazy was associated with the Patriotic Front, he could pour scorn and ridicule even if he was dying or dead.
But whatever Mwewa’s estimation of Dandy Krazy, he is not an ordinary mortal.
Dandy is a big musical artist in our country.
Further, Dandy is not only a celebrated artist, but he is also honoured person.
On Independence Day in 2011, President Michael Sata bestowed the Grand Commander of the Order of Freedom Award for his revolutionary song “Donchi Kubeba” and for his artistic contribution to the major political changes that took place in the 2011 elections.
It is clear that at this stage, Mwewa must apologise for his unafrican, insensitive and irrational remarks against Dandy Krazy and the deceased’s family.
Mwamba like other politicians-HH include-wanting to ride on the Musician’s popularity bandwagon
Mwamba you can just talk about Chitambala alone without being political. Both current Pres.HH and former Pres. ECL have nothing to do with the Dandy Krazy’s vehicle accident. Just stay in your lane and condemn Simon Mwewa Lane alone.
You sound bitter and jumping on anything to sound relevant. It’s absurd.
Though certain people are condemning Mr.Mwewa for his utterances ,l personally don’t see anything wrong as he was only stressing the drunken state in which our musicians found themselves in.The truth will hurt some people but the fact will remain a fact.
All you hypocrites conditioning Mwewa stop it! The fact is the authorities try to warn you about the bad habits of drink driving. Most of you don’t pay attention and think the message is directed at other people and yet continue with your bad habits. What Mwewa has done is to hilight the dangers of drink driving for those who think the messages are not meant for them. I see most of you are upset because you still do it. If you’re that upset just stop drinking and driving and none of your family members is going to get upset at such a message. It will help a lot of people. Ignorance about the irreversible impacts of road accidents are crude. Don’t condemn a good messager. As much as he’s been hard, he is trying to save lives. You can take or continue drink driving because you don’t like the messenger. Who’s going to consul your relatives when you die? Do it now and stop the habit. These condemnations won’t bring loved ones back.
There is a point here and valid one. But people will now start saying it’s the truck driver who was wrong. Let’s answer them in advance, the point is when you are sober, you will judge correctly that the truck driver is wrong and avoid competing with him and the end result will be no accident or a minor accident. Am not saying Dandy and the crew were drunk but contributing on the positive advise made towards those who drink and drive and think they are clever.
Emmanuel Mwamba is so talkative in everything and anything and quite frankly, the man enjoys talking on social media.
Mwamba at it again! Mwamba missed child discipline course which nearly every one passed through as we were growing.Any child in our young days who reported to any parent, insults or bad language done by his friends was the first to be disciplined by the parents.So in our days we could not mention the insult the friend has said to our mother because we feared to be beaten, it was not allowed.I believe in any home which is well organized this is still happening.We are mourning the death of Dandy and you Mwamba as big as you are you want to cause hate and anger to Mwewa, you must be very irresponsible.Let us build our nation through love and forgiveness and not to perpetrate hatred and anger through fueling hate and dislike among ourselves,let’s grow Mwamba.
