GOVERNMENT DISMISSES RUMORS OF GBM’S DEATH
Government has dispelled social media speculation suggesting that incarcerated former Defense Minister Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba has died.
Ministry of Information and Media Permanent Secretary Thabo Kawana says Mr Mwamba remains admitted to Maina Soko Military Hospital in Lusaka.
Speaking at a press briefing from Maina Soko Military Hospital this afternoon, Mr Kawana said Mr Mwamba is in a very stable condition and not in any danger.
Mr Mwamba is receiving medical care at Maina Soko Military and currently serving a five year jail term for corruption.
Recently, government had come under fire after speculation that it was blocking the former Kasama Central MP from seeking specialized medical treatment abroad.
But Mr Kawana had clarified that it is actually the hospital in South Africa that declined to admit Mr Mwamba due to his status as a convict hence both government and Mr Mwamba’s family are still waiting on South African authorities for an update regarding the possibility of evacuating him.
And today, social media was awash with information suggesting that Mr Mwamba has passed on prompting the government to quickly clear the air on his health status.
Meanwhile, Mr Kawana has warned peddlers of falsehoods that their days are numbered as the cyber bills are being enhanced hence the law will catch up with them.
And one of Mr Mwamba’s lawyers Charles Changano says his client is better and stable saying he has managed talk to his client after being alarmed by social media speculations.

The government is probably waiting for GBM to go into a coma before they can evacuate him. The same thing happened to mama Edith.
Hakainde should surely be aware there are other countries in this world where they can take GBM. We do not want to see more crocodile tears from Hakainde if GBM dies prematurely as well. We do not want to hear fake eulogies and lies from him.
Reject tribalism, corruption and oppression.
Vote for change in 2026.
Indigo, are you a PF operator of just an effing CHIKALA, I can’t figure what you are. Perhaps you belong to the LGBTQ effers
Emmanuel Mwamba so this is the legacy you will leave behind, the liar who tried to twist everything for political mileage but failed miserably…..such politics are outdated no matter how many of you and the opposition run into exile. No wonder there is no sympathy for you and please find a candidate who can debate HH on tv…..Zambians won’t vote for fake sympathy seekers
GBM should pay his own medical bills, he has stolen enough money from Zambians. The fat fu*ks time has come to meet his father Judas Iscariot.
BTW, Indigo, Edith was no mama, she was the mama of Addis Ababa rd
