Kambwili Sues ZNBC For Alleging He Stormed The Newsroom
Information and Boradcasting Services Permanent Secretary Chanda Kasolo, his brother Anthony and Youth and Sport Minister Chishimba Kabwili have dragged the Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC) and its chairperson John Mulwila to court for defamation of character.
Mr Kambwili, and the Kasolo brothers are claiming damages and are also demanding that ZNBC and Dr Mulwila render a public apology to them for allegedly accusing them of harassing staff at the national broadcaster.
They said that the allegations have subjected them to shame and ridicule, as a lot of people, Government ministers, legislators and civic organisations have joined in condemning them through ZNBC.
They have further asked the Lusaka High Court to grant them an injunction to restrain Dr Mulwila and ZNBC from uttering or making any further statements relating to the issue.
Mr Kambwili and the Kasolo brothers further want the court to order ZNBC and Dr Mulwila to pay them special damages for defamation of their characters and reputations.
They have stated in a writ of summons filed in the principal registry that on the material day they had a meeting with acting ZNBC director news and current affairs Kenneth Maduma to correct a news item referring to the PF Central Committee meeting which had been broadcast by ZNBC.
When they got to the institution, they were led to where Mr Maduma was waiting for them in the newsroom and he showed them a copy of the story which he had edited.
They alleged that they did not go there without prior arrangement with Mr Maduma and that they did not go to the newsroom at their own insistence but at the invitation of Mr Maduma.
The trio further claimed that it did not speak with anybody else regarding why they went to ZNBC apart from Mr Maduma.
They said that they were on Monday shocked when ZNBC and Dr Mulwila broadcast a false statement that they stormed the studio of ZNBC, harassed staff and uttered tribal insults against the staff.
They were also surprised that Dr Mwilwila accused Mr Kasolo of interfering with the operations of ZNBC.
The three said that the statement by Dr Mwilwila has damaged their reputations as professionals and negatively portrayed them to the world as persons who cannot reason with dictatorial characters.

Do you have facts or you didn’t read the article above? We just heard from their side I think Mr Maduma is their witness. Not anything Kambwili then he’s guilty.

A Jew named Muhammad
History of religions, monotheism, origins of the texts of the Bible, the Gospels and the Koran. The archaeological, scientific and linguistic discoveries lead to serious questions about the origin of monotheistic religions, whether Judaism, Christianity and Islam (although monotheism exists in all other religions). If you do not want to swallow the official lies but you feast on spiritual culture … To find your way through the jumble of old manipulated texts, full of lies, falsifications deliberate, historical errors, religious, theological and spiritual …

FAITH: JUSTIFIED TRUST AND BELIEF OR BLISSFUL IGNORANCE?
What is faith?
Note: This section contains some non original content.
The option to doubt is what gives us the free will to explore all possibilities.
If one has no doubts but only faith, as in religion, then one cannot properly exercise free will in day to day life
Free will gives us the ability to accept or reject anything we are told and that is what makes us human and unique
We as human beings have the capacity to understand ourselves and to realize our inner spiritual nature
Religion seeks to divert our attention away from our inner self and focus it onto an invisible and inconceivable ruler god
If we choose to buy into this then we are robbed of our personal power and individuality and the authorities can have their way with us
Religious followers put faith in religion’s teachings and then make bunches of wild claims. And they can do that because religion’s claims are so difficult to disprove.

Kambwili calls himself a disciplinarian but is he himself disciplined. Why go to ZNBC he could just call. And why him and not the Minister of Information if there was any wrong news item.

Need we say more? The Kambwili exit strategy looms. Praise PF for returning the freedom of the press. Though not perfect yet, it is enough to show one useless minister that we have moved out of the age when you used to intimidate ZNBC, this time we are enjoying seeing even HH advertising himself (though amoneka kwati naumfwa amafi when smiling) even Sondashi and all. So Kambwili, even going to court won’t be enough damage control. Mwalisebana kale bukala bwenu mukwai.

you can’t unring a bell. where there’s smoke there’s fire. And where is Masebo in all this?
Fortunately we know Mr. Maduma’s character. Unfortunately we know Kambwili’s and the Kasolo-Mailoni brothers’ too.
Just apologise, shut up and leave our ZNBC alone you motherless hooligans.

ha ha ha ha ha ha, this is funny. ZNBC director general issues a public statement about what seems clear to have happened. We need not worry here, ZNBC has Cameras and Maduma still works there so he will testify if he was expecting them and how they enteredhis office. I think this is gonna be fun people
