Demand Letter to Chiti Mukulu

Dear Sir,
RE: UNILATERAL TERMINATION OF CHIMBUYA CONTRACT BETWEEN BEMBAS AND NGONIS – YOURSELF
We write on behalf of the Ngonis and Easterners in general. Kindly note our interest in the matter herein and we address you hereunder as such.
It has come to our attention that you unilaterally announced a new chimbuyaship with the Lozi speaking people of Western Province over the weekend when you attended the Kuomboka ceremony. Your unguided statement by implication means that you have also terminated the Chimbuya Contract with the Easterners without giving any notice whatsoever. This Contract is cast in stone and was consummated by your forefathers long before Zambia was born. Your action therefore is against the law, custom and traditional norms established since time immemorial by our forefathers. In short, this Contract cannot be terminated by either party for whatever reasons. Simply put, we are stuck together forever!
We have been asked to demand, which we hereby do, for you to rescind your decision within 48 hours. Should you fail to do so, we shall commence legal action against you at Mutenguleni Court (Chichele Tree) in Chipata, which Court has jurisdiction over you and all Bembas.
Kindly do the needful to avoid unnecessary legal costs and embarrassment as you will be required to stand in the dock. Further, take note that Bemba lawyers have no audience at this prestigious Mutenguleni Court of Justice.
By copy of this letter, we also warn the Litunga of the Lozi people to be careful when dealing with Bembas aka “masholi”. These people are very unstable and will dump you at any time like they have done to us. They just want to penetrate your Province and steal the cattle, cashew nuts and tasty fish, which they depleted in their land due to fishing with mosquito nets. They will also leave children there without child support like is the case in Chipata except for the Kaponya language on the streets.
Yours faithfully,
HRH Dickson Jere
Prince of the Ngoni people and conqueror of the Bembas.
Chimpinga and Tondweni Homesteads
Fort Jameson
Cc: The Litunga and all Lozis
Poligamy is not a crime in your culture so where is your problem by the way we were just cohabiting but this one is official.
You forgot to say LOL Boss, some fools may take this seriously.
Otherwise me as a Lozi I find joy in people who bring peace and people together so Thumbs up to Mwinelubemba and My King as well as the well meaning Easterners.
Maybe the Bemba chief is BOUGHT by the Lozis, otherwise he has to rethink over his decision; there’s no way one can just wake up and tell someone to become brothers. Otherwise such brother hood can’t stand a test of time it’s fake
Dickson
You can go ahead, we shall hire, the following Lawyers to defend US,
Prof.Mvunga,
Chifumu Banda
& Makebi Zulu
and we shall pay them, in kind ,by giving them Cattles, from our ,newly found,LOZI ,cousins.
Infact the termination of our cousinship with you the Ngonis is long overdue, Coz,we’ve not benefited anything, You ve, atmost shortchanged us, A lot ,,awe mukwai, twakana, leave us alone, to enjoy, our newly found Cousinship , wth our New mbuyas,
The Prince and Conquerer of the Bemba??
You were no match ba Jere! You came with primitive bows and arrows…and barefoot fleeing from Shaka and you found Bembas armed to the teeth with state of the Art Cannons and munitions… and in shoes ofcourse ..you scampered everywhere leaving your women behind behind….and the Bisas also chased you, till you settled at Fort Jameson .
What ever we say you are obliged to follow us… even to Mongu, you will follow…those are the terms of the armistice! Lol
Infact cousinship phased out when inter marriage started in zambia.
April fool
Sunganisiye iwe Ngati nimpali tiye nayo !!
I love Bembas I can’t do without them!!
When others want unite, you, you wa
Not to remain alone, ati umodzi kumawa, remain alone if that’s what you want. Otherwise, despite being slippery like fish, Bembas are very social people who like and easily interact with others, we like them
Yes Dickson Jere’s letter may sound humorous and funny to those who never LITERATURE AT SECONDARY SCHOOLS. However, Dickson’s letter must be taken seriously. BAROTSE ROYAL ESTABLISHMENT (BRE), what led you to accept this arrangement?? I am one of YOURS but from Sesheke. If anything had to be done, probably we should have accepted the NGONI’s because the Lozi part I come from (Subiyas/ Kololos) we ran away from King Shaka with NGONI and crossed the Zambezi River into the current ZAMBIA in 1835. So, NGONIs are more closer to us as cousins. For now BRE, I would warn that: “The Devil you know is better than the Angel you are just meeting, meaning, a TONGA BULL WILL FOREVER BE THE ULTIMATE FOR LOZIS IN AS FAR AS THIS COUSINSHIP IS CONCERNED. I am not saying UNITY OF PURPOSE IS BAD, NO,NO, AND NO.
Mr Dickson Jere, with due respect, I urge you to respectfully ask King Mpezeni about the relationship between the NGONIs and the Sothos because the Loziship I come from is actually Sotho.
Kikikiki … Nice one Dickson!
It’s so nice to celebrate our diversity and have some good sense of humor!
Many thanks to the head of state for encouraging this kind of intercultural exchange!
It’s healthy for the unity of the country!
By his attendance, as an ordinary citizen, and not guest of honour, he has confirmed what he promised from the beginning! Chiefs and Paramount chiefs should invite each other as guests of honor for better intercultural exchange!
This has turned out to be the best Kuomboka we have ever had!
Ba Jere please my mbuya you have twisted my ribs , I’m really laughing my lungs out. Ichimbuya can not stop like this . We have bumpers harvest of imbeba in baskets. We deliver to Mupezeni
