Dr Mumba’s ‘Stupid’ Remarks Anger SATA
By KASUBA MULENGA
PRESIDENT Sata says his Government remains open to dialogue on national issues and that he expects a certain level of maturity from those who seek to engage Government on various national issues.
President Sata was reacting to remarks reported in the media and attributed to MMD president Nevers Mumba regarding the State’s decision to withdraw former President Rupiah Banda’s diplomatic passport.
On Thursday, Pastor Mumba described Government’s decision to cancel Mr Banda’s diplomatic passport as an ‘act of stupidity’.
President Sata said Pastor Mumba’s remarks do not reflect the maturity Government expects from opposition leaders.
President Sata said this in a statement issued by his spokesman Mr George Chellah.
Pastor Mumba was quoted as having said: “… I am a pastor and I am supposed to choose words I use but I am asking God to allow me to use the word ‘stupidity’, utter stupidity to behave like that.”
President Sata has advised Pastor Mumba to be genuine with his spiritual calling and stop misrepresenting God.
“Pastor Mumba’s biggest problem is the impression he creates around himself as though he has the monopoly on matters of spirituality to the extent of misrepresenting the Creator.”
The President said, “As a clergyman, he must be ashamed of this hypocrisy and stop abusing the freedom and democracy, which so many well-intentioned Zambians sacrificed for.”
President Sata told Pastor Mumba not to be a menace to the unity and peace the country has enjoyed since independence.
On Thursday Pastor Mumba told journalists that what Government had done was an embarrassment to the country and the region because former Presidents deserve respect.
Pastor Mumba said this at Chipata Municipal Council shortly after MMD candidate Reuben Phiri filed his nomination papers for the July 25 Chipata Central parliamentary by-election.

that’s true. Mumba’s place was in the pulpit, politics has destroyed his once highly respected capacity as a pastor.

WORD TWISTING, WORD PUNCHING AND MAKING YOUR OPPONENT BELIEVE WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT HIM TO WIN THE TROPHY IS WHAT POLITICS IS ALL ABOUT.
I HOPE WE ZEDIANS WILL ONE DAY REACH A LEVEL WHERE WE LEARN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COMMON INTERESTS AND INDIVIDUAL ONES. I MEAN WE LEARN TO PUT OUR DIFFERENCES ASIDE, COME TOGETHER AS 2, PUT OUR SKILLS TOGETHER AND BETTER ALL OUR SECTORS OF LIFE.

is it possible that anybody can be ****** given various circumstances in which we work from? the macmillan school dictionary defines the word ****** as “not intelligent or showing bad judgement.”
you can use the work in rational terms, for example, “I stupidly loaned him/her some money.”

if nevers belongs to the pulpit, then tell me were sata belongs. Most of you people supporting sata will be very shocked to hear at criminality this man involved himself into. As for now all seems well, but wait for 2016, a massive truth will come out about sata. sometime it is a pity when i look at people like kabimba, because he is going down the drain very soon, the witchcraft power that binds them together shall be destroyed by the anointing under the declaration of zambia as christian nation, watch the space mark my words.

THE BEHAVIOUR OF SATA IS THE SAME LIKE NEVERS, THEY BOTH ACT THE SAME WAY SO NO ONE SHOULD CRY FOUL. THE OTHER ONE THINKS BECOZ HE IS THE PRESIDENT OF STATE HE CAN SAY ANYTHING AND THAT PEOPLE SHOULDN’T ANSWER BACK. THAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO.

If Nevers didn’t mean to insult the Zambian president, why did he get permision from his god Satan? Anyway, he is now getting into real politics. Like Frank, he also needs some kind of baptism.

Now, if Mumba cannot respect a head of state, can any sane person expect Mumba to have any regard for, to respect, an ordinary person, an ordinary voter?

Niti ya cocota wa mwana kayuwe kwa malete! I even wonder why Sata still gets angered by being referred to as plain ****** because he is worse than the real meaning of the word. His state of mind is in the class of “gutless stupidity”.

No matter which dictionary you read and what explaination you get from it. The word ****** in the Zambian context is an insult and a big one. So the man of god (Nevers) has insulted the president.

Niti ya cocota kwa pilu onacwalo inge wa mwana kayuwe kwa malete! In Katangese, they say “Ichishinka chila umfwisha ichifukushi ku mutima.” Now, Sata agreed with HH that he is a “Chimbwi No Plan,” and for all I know, a Chimbwi no plan is “******”. Afuna siafuna, Sata is a ****** old fool!
