THE National Theatre Arts Association of Zambia (NATAAZ) national executive committee has expelled its general secretary Eric Kasomo Jr for alleged poor performance and non-commitment to the association’s work, particularly the secretariat.
NATAAZ national publicity secretary John Kapesa said in a press statement that the decision to expel Kasomo follows an executive committee meeting last weekend held at the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) offices in Lusaka.
Kasomo has been replaced by Isaac Kalumba, who was the deputy general secretary, and will be assisted by Mike Tembo, who was a national executive committee member.
“The General Secretary Eric Kasomo has been expelled under article 8.9 of the NATAAZ Constitution following his failure to exculpate himself over his poor performance and commitment to NATAAZ work and, particularly the secretariat.
“He has been replaced by vice general secretary Isaac Kalumba to be assisted by Mike Tembo, who has been a NEC committee member. The two have been cautioned not to fall into the same trap or they should decline their positions,” Kapesa said.
Following last weekend’s meeting, the executive also resolved to rebrand and renew the executive’s commitment to Nataaz activities and events and “to reaffirm the various programmes and reconfirm the remaining activities of the year planner for 2014.”
The remaining items on the year planner includes establishing and confirming the remaining seven provincial committees in Muchinga, Northern, Luapula, North-western, Western, Southern and Eastern in June and July.
Also on the planner is the running of the capacity building theatre workshop in June in Kabwe, the Women in Theatre Workshop in July in Mufulira and the Senior Theatre Festival set for October at the Lusaka Playhouse.

HOLY MOSES! You ought to read the Bible!
The Bible is full of stories of GOD ordering Moses to slaughter everybody including babies and pregnant women in the Palestine region to make room for Israel!

The PREACHERS today explain that GOD wanted the Medianites slaughtered and sent to HELL because they were “SINFUL” people. The Midianites couldn’t have possibly been a political “enemy” of Israel because in this Bible story Israel didn’t exist as a nation. The Jews were slaves born in Egypt. God is ordering Moses to TREAT THE MIDIANITES AS ENEMIES AND TO KILL ALL OF THEM. Sometime earlier GOD ORDERED ABRAHAM TO KILL HIS SON ISAAC, and because he didn’t hesitate to comply he became known as THE FATHER OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH — Rom 4:16!
Most of the primitive Gods are in the killing business.

Numbers 31:17-18 (NIV) Now kill all the boys* (*today SOME CHRISTIANS are very upset at their Clergy and Preachers for FONDLING KIDS, but this verse here is GOD ORDERING the outright genocide of Midianite little BOYS! Moses’ children were Midianite citizens, for Christ’s sake!). And kill every WOMAN* (*including Moses’ wife, mother in law, and any other female relative. MOSES DEMANDS NOT TO SHOW ANY MERCY TO PREGNANT WOMEN! It is amazing the BIGOTRY OF CHRISTIANITY taking an irrational anti-abortion stand WORSHIPPING THIS SADISTIC CHILDREN AND PREGNANT WOMEN KILLING GOD! TODAY CHRISTIANS ENJOY HURTING WOMEN IN REAL NEED OF AN ABORTION!) who has slept with a man* (*i.e. ANY PREGNANT WOMAN! Except the Horny Virgin Mary, of course! God the Holy Ghost got her pregnant and that is OK! Still, any pregnant lady who “slept with a man” even her own husband MUST DIE! In the Bible stories fetuses were NEVER of any concern to anybody and they were ALWAYS destroyed when any “adulterous” pregnant woman was stoned to death! No preacher today would risk their source of income talking about any gross immorality in the BIBLE stories! In my case, it is a miracle that I snapped out of Christianity and religion in general), BUT SAVE FOR YOURSELVES EVERY GIRL* (*NOT ANY OLD LADY, BUT ONLY YOUNG LITTLE GIRLS!) WHO HAS NEVER SLEPT WITH A MAN* (*so “God’s Chosen Men” can deflower virgin girls by the bushels! Some Preachers today can only w@nk in the closet dreaming about it!)
Christianity is a very primitive and repulsive religion,

Pedophilia and the killing of innocent children and pregnant women was NEVER A “SIN!” In Midian alone the HOLY MEN OF GOD collected 32,000 young slave girls for their own sexual enjoyment (Num 31:35).
