SDA LEADER DEFENDS PRESIDENT HICHILEMA’S SUPPORT
Seventh Day Adventist Church Southern Zambia Union Conference President VANNY MUNYUMBWE says assumptions that President HAKAINDE HICHILEMA is favouring the SDA church compared to other denominations are illogical and unfair.
Dr. MUNYUMBWE says President HICHILEMA is a member of the SDA and helps the church as a member.
He said in an interview that people need to accord the President the privileges of every church member to support the congregation in any way he can.
Dr. MUNYUMBWE adds that it is not right to say that the President must do for all churches what he does for the SDA because he has proved that he considers all churches as one.
Meanwhile, Dr. MUNYUMBWE has dismissed allegations that the SDA did not accept a donation from a church member based on political affiliation.
He says the committee of elders only guided that the donation be made after the donation of the President in line with state protocol.

“Dr. MUNYUMBWE says President HICHILEMA is a member of the SDA and helps the church as a member.”
What utter rubbish. Mr. Munyumbwe, HH is no longer just a Church member but also the President of the Nation.
Just like you, when you were baptised your membership is held at a particular church, do you send all your offering and tithe to that church? If anything you try as much as possible to NOT show your prejudice to your local church as you pass decisions.
The other churches have the right to complain when HH made a large donation to the Dorcas rally at Rusangu and then made a donation to the completion of a church in Mushili.
These are the same “brown envelope” notions that skew the opinions of the church; from the message of salvation to politics ( we speak of about Bishop Banda Alick).
The culture is bad. We know that sometimes the donations are done in good faith. Moreso because he understands the issue of and about the SDA. But the perception and the notion the culture paints. Speaks otherwise.
