RESPECT LUBINDA SAYS ECL AS HE FIRES ZUMANI ZIMBA
Friday 25th April 2026
..ECL cracks whip, removes Zumani Zimba as a Consultant for Tonse Alliance and as co-administrator of his official Facebook page…
Former President Edgar Lungu, who is also Tonse Alliance Leader has cracked the whip to forestall discipline in the party and to halt divisions emerging in the alliance partner, Tonse Alliance where the PF is a anchor party.
President Lungu has emphasised that he appointed PF Vice President, Hon. Given Lubinda as Acting President of the Patriotic Front, to guide during the period of his absence.
He has also emphasised that by extension, Hon. Lubinda will act as Tonse Alliance leader in his absence.
This is in light of seemingly acts of indiscipline associated with scandalisation of senior leaders of the Patriotic Front Acting President, Hon. Given Lubinda and Secretary General, Raphael Nakacinda.
The former President has also halted all disciplinary processes and action commenced after a leaked audio disparaging him and the Alliance from juniors members of a third party.
The disciplinary process was initiated by Tonse Alliance Spokesperson and PeP President, Mr. Sean Tembo without his knowledge or consent.
President Lungu has called for unity in the PF and called for an urgent sense of purpose with its alliance partners.
He has reminded all leaders at every level to focus on the immediate agenda of strengthening mechanisms to wrestle power from the UPND to set Zambia on the path of sustainable development.
He has also called for an Extraordinary Central Committee Meeting scheduled for Saturday that will be co-chaired by himself by remote conferencing and by Acting President Hon.Given Lubinda.
Zumani Zimba can now give us twelve reasons for his dismissal as a consultant for Tonse Alliance. His critical stance was driven not by principles but by financial interests. Following his removal by former President Edgar Chagwa Lungu, one must wonder what his next move will be.
Hypocritical individuals filled with with propaganda and malice are being exposed as the political parties they supported have started to crumble.
Hmm! He still continues to make appointments! PF / Tonse is a good party with a president wamuyaya. It’s like a chieftainship or Kingdom.
I would love to SEE Lungu co-chairing that video conference so that it puts my doubts to shame
But who will deciplin Mr Tembo for disrespectful letter writing to his bosses asking them to escalpate and giving them seven days to do so.And who is to do what when and how in this failing UN registered TONSE?
Looks like Zumani has been sent back to the original position he had before he was appointed political advisor. The vitriolic gun will now aim at his firing principal once again!
Lubinda cannot make a good president given his record as Justice Minister where retirees were getting soaked at the Ministry begging him to intervene in getting their little pension.
Whatever happened to his court case?
Is Lubinda happy with the behaviour of why me?
Yes he is and officially called him a freedom fighter……..
