Former Presidential Advisor Dr. Chris Zumani Zimba Survives Alleged Staged Car Accident in Chilling Midnight Ordeal
In what can only be described as a divine escape from the jaws of death, former State House Political Advisor Dr. Chris Zumani Zimba has survived a harrowing and bizarre late-night car accident that he strongly believes was a staged assassination attempt. The incident occurred around 22:00 hours on Thursday night along Great East Road near Meanwood Ndeke.
Dr. Zimba, a respected political scientist and author, recounted the terrifying episode in a firsthand narrative that has since gone viral, stirring concern and awe in equal measure.
“I saw death. But God said no.”
According to Dr. Zimba, he had just dropped off a family friend and was heading home while listening to prophetic prayers on the radio. Driving calmly at 80km/h, he was still immersed in worship when out of nowhere a loud crash violently jolted his car. A speeding, unregistered vehicle had struck the driver’s side, pushing his large 4X4 off the tarmac and into a roadside drainage system.
“I saw death,” he said. “The car lost balance and slid deeper into the drain, almost overturning. But I kept praying‘Jesus, Jesus, Jesus’ and somehow I remained conscious and calm. God helped me keep the car upright.”
The impact was so intense that he initially believed it was a truck. Yet in a matter of seconds, the attacking vehicle and another close behind vanished without a trace.
Suspicious Patterns and Ghostly Pursuers
The sequence of events that followed has only deepened the suspicion that this was no ordinary accident.
“I knew it was staged,” Zimba told nearby bystanders, including three men who appeared shortly afterward. “They were after my life, not the car.”
Within five minutes, another unregistered vehicle this time a Toyota Vitz arrived and parked directly opposite the crash site. The occupants never exited but observed him closely, arousing suspicions of foul play.
“They asked if I needed help, but I told them we were fine. They didn’t insist. They just drove off into the night,” Zimba said, calling the behavior “predatory” and likening the men to “hyenas circling their prey.”
Divine Intervention or Coincidence?
In a surprising twist, the first three men who came across the scene initially dismissed as late-night revelers turned out to be the unexpected heroes of the night. Though doubtful at first, Zimba allowed them to attempt retrieving the vehicle. In less than five minutes, the men managed to reverse the SUV back out of the drainage using sheer wit and manpower.
“They handed me the keys and told me to go home safely. They refused any reward,” he shared. “These were God-sent Samaritans.”
A Political Target?
Dr. Zimba’s suspicions have raised eyebrows in both political and religious circles. A seasoned strategist and one-time advisor to former President Edgar Lungu, he’s been vocal in political discussions and a key figure behind the controversial Tonse Alliance realignment.
While no official police report has yet confirmed foul play, Zimba’s account laced with scripture and conviction points to a spiritual and political battle far beyond the crash site.
“This was evil at its best,” he concluded. “But Numbers 23:23 reminds us: ‘There is no sorcery against Jacob, nor divination against Israel. It must be said—Oh, what God has done!’”
Public Reaction
Zambians on social media have poured out messages of relief and support, while others are calling for an investigation into the possibility of politically motivated attacks on opposition-linked figures.
The Lusaka Traffic Division is yet to issue a formal statement. Meanwhile, Dr. Zimba says he remains grateful but alert.
“I am alive because of God’s grace. This was not just an accident—it was a message. But I also have one: No weapon fashioned against me shall prosper.”

Call/wait for officers at scene.
It seems there is a hitman in Zambia. The strange thing is that it is only opposition members that are going through these near misses. Can we read anything into these events? Who would benefit from not having these opposition voices around? Who is digging holes everywhere?

Former ruling party cadres are struggling to keep their stolen heavy vehicles roadworthy.They no longer afford wheel alignments with worn tyres.Thats why they are finding themselves in ditches and accusing ghosts
These boys with their self importance! Who would want Chris Zumani Zimba dead, you people? Ati, I saw a car hit mine on the driver’s door, was it at a junction? The story does not add up. It is like stories in the village where there is no natural death, it is always superstition or witch craft. This was just an accident presumably due to his careless driving at night.
This is rubbish. 80km/h is just too much speed idiot. Accidents do happen and at that dangerous speed they can happen to you.If someone hit you deliberately you think he can run away without finishing you? The problem you think politics is the solution to your financial problems.
Well put. It seems these politicians think accidents should not happen to them; otherwise, they suspect foul play if it does. Are they any different than any human being? Instead of just thanking God for surviving the accident, he starts adding unnecessary suspicions. Why can’t these people show a level of maturity every now and then?
My thoughts also, an accident is an accident, it happens unexpectedly. And it can happen to anyone anywhere at any time. Ask CK, he had several accidents before the fatal one which claimed his two brothers. Otherwise you are the least person anyone can think of killing and I don’t know what the motive could be.
FORTHE FIRST TIME INDIGO, I WANT TO COMMEND YOU FOR BEING CLOSE TO THE TRUTH.
ALL THOSE THAT LAY SNARES FOR THEIR PERCEIVED ENEMIES END UP IN THEM, AND YOU CAN RIGHTLY COUNT THEM ON YOUR FINGERS.
TOUCH NOT A CHILD OF GOD AND THE WRATH OF GOD SHALL NOT FOLLOW YOU.
HH WAS MADE TO GO THROUGH TRIALS AND TEMPTATIONS. HE DID NOT AVENGE BECAUSE HE BELIEVES VENGEANCE BELONGS TO GOD.
HE PRAYED FOR HIS ENEMIES, THAT THEY MAY FIND A PLACE FOR PEACE IN THEIR HEARTS, THEY BEGUN TO PLOT AGAINST HIM, TAKING HIM FOR A SLEEPY JERK.
GOD IS STILL FIGHTING FOR HIM WHILE HIS ENEMIES ARE USING ALL SORTS OF ARTILLERIES, INCLUDING VOODOO! HE HAS REMAINED CALM.
THEY GO TO HIM AT MIDNIGHT, HOPING TO HARM HIM THROUGH THEIR MESSENGERS, BUT GOD STILL FIGHTS FOR HIM AS HE QUICKLY EXPOSES THEM.
THEY ARE TRYING TO BRING THE MASSONRY SONG AGAIN, BUT HH HAS NO CONNECTION WITH THEM.
HE IS DOING MORE HUMANITY THINGS THAN THE SO CALLED GOD FEARING PEOPLE AND WE HAVE ALWAYS REMINDED THEM, YOU CAN NOT MOCK GOD.
THE WORD OF GOD SAYS, WHAT GOD HAS PUT TOGETHER, LET NO MAN PUT ASUNDER.
NOW YOU WANT TO PAINT SOMEONE AS AN ASSASSIN- SHAME!
HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THAT PEOPLE HAVE SENSE IN THIS COUNTRY? THAT THEY CAN NOT FORGET THE EVIL THAT SURROUNDED THE CRIMINAL GANG CALLED PF?
HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THAT NO MONTH PASSED WITHOUT HEARING OF A POLITICAL DEATH, MAIMING OR SIMPLY BEATING OUT OF SENSE ON CITIZENS, ANYONE WEARING RED, ANYONE SPEAKING TONGA IN TOWN OR MARKETS? HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN HOW FACEBOOK WAS TAINTED WITH THREATS ON HH?
WHERE ARE THOSE PEOPLE NOW?
THEY HAVE GROWN BEARDS TO DISGUISE THEMSELVES.
IT IS NOT THAT THEY ARE NOT KNOWN,
HH HAS JUST SAVED THEM FROM ANGRY ZAMBIANS.
NOW THEY ARE MAKING FOOLS OF THEMSELVES BY HANGING ON TO A DEAD BODY, IF REALLY THAT MAN DIED! IT IS A SHAME THAT GOD HAS EXPOSED HOS CROOKEDNESS EVEN IN DEATH. ONE PERSON RUNNING AROUND WITH FIVE(NOT ONE) PASSPORTS JUST TO EVADE DETE CTION.
YOU PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND GOD.
IF YOU CONTINUE TRYING TO FIND YOUR WAY AT THE HELM OF POWER, GOD SHALL DEAL WITH YOU.
SINCE YOUR CRONIES BELIEVE IN JUJU,
YOUR BATTLE SHALL BE AGAINST THE HOLY SPIRIT, NOT HH.
HE IS PROTECTED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
I hv had such a close call myself in Lusaka at an even earlier hour.
At night doing 80km/h as if you are on the highway going to Ndola?Reckless driving and not being observant on the road, those blind spots. There is no assassination here
12 Reasons why it was not an Assassination Attempt!!
Where is meanwood ndeke on great east road???? Already that in itself is a problem! Please if truly you were listen to prophetic prg, then for once, find 12 reasons to tell the truth. If it was a loud bang, that threw the heavy vehicle into the ditch, where the pictures? That RTA and should have been reported to police. How would police issue a statement without a report? You people still believe you are talking to junkies! The 1m aren’t listening too, most of us aren’t wallowing in hatred. God help you people to heal
It could be opposition vs opposition and nothing else. The Man can’t arouse interest from genuine people. Anyway it’s unfortunate.
If they really wanted you dead you would have been dead. Don’t drink and drive.
Any pictures?
A former presidential advisor who does not know that public security in Lusaka is not as good as it should be is a surprizing one. No wonder his late former boss did so little to improve security because these people really thought it just could not happen to them. It’s a shame, a great shame.
