EXPOSED: Why RUPIAH Can’t Trust NEVERS “ABEMBA NI AMAMBALA”
Nevers Mumba’s political woes continue to deepen as more details emerge on the relationship between former president Rupiah Banda and UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema.
A source told Tumfweko.com that Rupiah is categorical about his attitude towards Bembas: “Abemba ni a mambala, Bembas are crooks”, he is said to have told Hichilema, who upon hearing this, simpered with approval. The former president, who together with William Banda and Boniface Zulu beat up late freedom fighter and former vice president Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe (a Bemba) at Kamwala (then called Luburma Market) in the 70s, went on to talk about how he did his best to avoid being too close to Bembas during his political life.
“He says his best friend of a long time is Vernon Mwaanga, a Tonga,” said one of Rupiah’s aides. However, Rupiah’s relationship with veteran politician Mwaanga has hit rock bottom in recent years. Matters came to a head when the former president’s son, James, threatened to beat up Mwaanga at Lusaka’s Polo Grill recently over the latter’s statement in his autobiography ‘The Long Sunset’, that Rupiah’s children were among people that were greedy and acquired an insatiable appetite for wealth during their father’s presidency.

“RB does not trust Bembas. He has no kind words for Kapwepwe, Justin Chimba, Valentine Musakanya, John Chisata,” said the insider, adding that Mumba was far from earning Rupiah’s trust, therefore.
Mumba is also facing lack of commitment and lukewarm attitudes among several MMD members who view him as an outsider who does not deserve the MMD leadership.
“There is the [Felix] Mutati group, which is not happy with the manner Mr. Mutati was portrayed as a traitor and unceremoniously forced to quit his position as leader of the opposition in parliament. This is a big group of MMD followers from Copperbelt, Lusaka, Northern and Muchinga provinces, who might not support MMD in elections,” the source added.
Other sources also claimed that former Finance Minister Situmbeko Musokotwane was also not happy with Mumba’s ascension to the MMD presidency, which was characterised by too much bribery and “seducing” of delegates by Dora Siliya.

RB and other haters hear me loud and clearly, you are just jealous of Bembas. What Bembas have achieved in this nation no one has achieved it. We owe no one an apology for being blessed by God with the gift of leadership. We are proud of how God has made us. Am asking others to discover ur strength and do ur best. Hate me or love, i owe no apology

Guys osazinama imwe- leadership skills are in all of us. However we should be careful not to alienate the Bembas because in a democracy the Bembas will always have an upperhand since their population is huge compared to all of us. Any ambitious politician should know that he should appeal to the Bemba not antagonise them.

The most interesting thing about a bemba person is that he can survive anywhere and be able to keep his identinty and actually influence the people he mingles with without any problem! This is the same trend i have also observed in the people from the east! Infact the bemba people are on the mission to bembanise Hichilema and Litunga lands. Wapya baisa! Litunga butuka, pye pye!

My subjects, you make me laugh as your Great King of this Kingdom. Continue to dialogue in insults. RB, HH, NM and His Excel MCS are all my subjects.
But let MCS preside on you in peace. I have chosen him among all of you his hands looks to be clean than all of you.
I removed RB bcos of long fingers which almost torn the coffers of my Kingdom.
I cannot try HH bcos he can sell my land due to greedniess.
I called back NM back from Canada, he was busy having parties and asking for too much bcos he never gets satified.
So let my chosen one, MCS preside, bcos he is old and cannot empty coffers.

73 tribes & 7 distinct languages. Do we mean Bemba speaking tribes or just the 1/73 to be thieves? Some Lozi speakers even say A bemba can even steal your pant while you are walking with him/her. Doesnt that make them more clever than the other? You Zambians are so melodramatic.
Where I come from the hatred you’re breeding can cause many diapitations, you are sowing discord.

these tribal fools. continue being tribal while bembas continue ruling you. Never in the life of humanity will a tonga or a lozi rule zambia because they are too tribal and its so funny because they are too ****** not to know that for someone to become president , they must win the votes of the whole country and not just the tongas or lozis. yes they will get all the votes they need from western and southern province. What ever the case and you may call bembas all the names you want, they have ruled you and are still ruling you by way of president MCS. call him any names you want, he is still your president and will continue to be for the next 3 if not 4 years. Deal with it.
Oh by the way, i am not zambian but was born in zambia.

You Tumfweko, you are just a batch of lairs. The reason why KK detached himself from RB was because RB recognized Kapwepwe and appointed his daughter as deputy minister Finance at the expense of Kaunda’s children.
That is why all Kaunda’s children ganged up against their uncle RB and supported Sata. It is Kaunda who would love to have Kapwepwe’s name deleted from the history of Zambia.
RB was not and is not a tribalist. You are just ashamed of your president who is practicing full time tribalism clearly seen by his appointment. 3/4 of the cabinet is filled by Bembas, the judicially is now headed by a Bemba etc…the regional balance of power started by Kaunda and observed by Chiluba, Mwanawasa, and RB is now forgotten. Tumfweko, this propaganda will not take Zambia any where. Stop worsting your energy on an innocent soul, face the facts as they are. Your friend membe wants protection over the 18 billion kwacha, how much have been given yourself?
