Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>We are reeling from the shock of reading Chris Zumani\u2019s diatribe on certain individuals in which he literally tries to besmirch, defame, ridicule and scandalise them in Part 1 of his latest article; \u201cUPND 12 MOST POISONOUS SNAKES THAT WILL BITE AND DUMP HH IN 2026…\u201d<\/p>\n

The article is devoid of any truth or substance at all save for utter insults! Zumani, who is former political advisor to former president Edgar Lungu accuses the said individuals of being unprincipled turncoats pretending to ingratiate themselves with President Hichilema in return for a few crumbs of bread.<\/p>\n

He writes, \u201cIn 2026 when HH is shamelessly detested, politically rejected and brutally defeated by a countrywide mob of voters, these snakes \u2013 political traitors will automatically evaporate from him, denounce Bally and start singing for the new Republican President.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continues, \u201cThese are slippery political traitors who pay false allegiance to HH and are manipulatively dancing treachery at Community House today because of what they are benefiting for now and nothing else.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since he wants to refer to others as snakes for whatever position they\u2019ve chosen to undertake, may we hasten to remind Zumani that prior to securing his most coveted and lofty position as one of the senior aides to President Lungu, he was a vicious and vociferous critic of the same man that today he wants to pretend to love to the moon, and back! What does this make of him? A pseudo- intellectual who cannot hold his ground as long as \u2018T\/born and chips\u2019 are on offer on the table?<\/p>\n

Anyway, the beauty about Social media is that we can\u2019t easily erase our past \u2013 the ghosts will always remain rattling in the closet reminding us of whatever we said or did in the past. For instance, here\u2019s a breakdown of some of the unkindest things Zumani wrote about the man who was yet to be his boss: In one of his Facebook posts, the former political advisor to Lungu, described him as \u201ccorrupt\u201d and a \u201cplay boy!\u201d<\/p>\n

In a Mid-March 2018 posting on Social media, Zumani made the following startling observations, albeit in a satirical manner, \u201cThe Republican Play Boy in State House has no heart for poor Zambians or anyone apart from flying the world and enriching his wallet, everyday. Zambians must not allow a spoiled and corrupt President who enjoys luxury life using and abusing tax payers money like a mad ancient King to rule us for another term. Lungu and PF must be legally and peacefully retired in 2021 through a Armageddon vote of protest and humiliation.\u201d<\/p>\n

And after Lungu had addressed the National Assembly on our principles and values a few days later, he was again on fire on Social media, \u201cA corrupt President with abnormal wealth cannot teach us to fight corruption. Lungu needed to repent yesterday in parliament!\u201d<\/p>\n

The following month, he had this to say about this scandalous president, \u201cIn my heat, I just want to see Lungu gone either by impeachment soon or in 2021 by vote.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like a clever house cat that defecates in a bag of mealie meal and quickly covers it to avoid it\u2019s \u2018misdeeds\u2019 being detected; of course, Zumani had to strike like a bolt of lightening and deactivate his Facebook account to save himself from any embarassment of having to explain his sudden change of heart about the man that he so much loathed for his thieving and corrupt activities.<\/p>\n

As a matter of fact, the same Laura Miti that he wants to scandalise today was actually peeved and absolutely disappointed over the new route Zumani had taken.<\/p>\n

\u201cChris Zumani Zimba, the new Political Advisor to President Lungu, has deleted his Facebook Account. It contained scathing criticism of the President and presidency,\u201d she wrote on her Facebook page. \u201cThat is worrying because his analysis was largely on point.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why does Zumani want to pretend today that his former boss had no flaws at all……that he was a perfect leader when he actually kept reminding us about his huge catalogue of misdeeds?<\/p>\n

Former politician, Ludwig Sondashi is famed for saying if you want to know how a crocodile lives in water, ask a hippo. There may never be a better person to explain Lungu\u2019s extent of corruption than Chishimba Kambwili, once a senior cabinet minister in the PF regime. From time to time, Kambwili would insist that, \u201cLungu, ukufuma kutukondo ukufika kumishishi (from his toes to his hair), it is all corruption! His walk is corruption, his talk is corruption, his sitting is corruption, whatever he touches is corruption.\u201d Simply put, Lungu is the worst person in our recent history to have occupied Plot 1 Independence Avenue and Zumani would be doing us a favour not try and launder his image. So what is Zumani trying to tell us?<\/p>\n

We may not be Hichilema\u2019s spokespersons, but we know for sure that Zumani is absolutely the wrong person to advise the President as to who he must be associating with or not. Zumani and his ilk haven\u2019t hesitated to demonstrate their pathological hatred for Hichilema; if anything, they\u2019d love to continue seeing him in the company of the so-called \u2018slippery individuals\u2019 who may turn against him if at all he was to tumble in the next elections. Hichilema is keeping an open-door policy whereby he\u2019s willing to work with former leaders such as Kavindele and Brigadier Gen. Godfrey Miyanda among others to help him run the country. If anyone has a problem with this, that\u2019s their own bone to chew!<\/p>\n

May we now digress and consider the three individuals that Zumani desperately tries to malign and portray in the negative light, specifically:<\/p>\n

Enock Kavindele<\/b><\/p>\n

Zumani dismisses senior citizen and former vice president Enock Kavindele as a legendary money-lover and dangerous slippery fellow with zero trace of patriotism: mainly known for being a proxy of exploitive Western imperialists at the expense of Zambians. He also insinuates that Mr. Kavindele is one of Zambia\u2019s former Vice Presidents without anything much to show or talk about, politically.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2016, using his business tricks to win Lungu\u2019s signature for his US$1.2-billion North Western Railway project, Enock Kavindele endorsed the president as \u201cthe best candidate,\u201d he rumbles on.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t know what our colleague is smoking or drinking for him to infer such wild allegations. Nifwaka yachingoni loko ni Chavuma water?<\/p>\n

In case Zumani was too young to remember or perhaps the one who is motivating him to say such things was too inebriated with Jameson to recall anything; Kavindele has been involved in business from a tender age! When most of his peers have been found wanting and probed or arrested for drag trafficking or corruption, Kavindele remains with no history of appearing at any police station for questioning on any wrong doing. He\u2019s been above board in his business activities; whether it\u2019s diamonds trade or whatever one would wish to speculate about. Is it surely a crime to partner with those from the West in business ventures unless those from the East?<\/p>\n

We find it quite laughable and ludicrous for Zumani to describe Kavindele as \u201cone of Zambia\u2019s former Vice Presidents without anything much to show or talk about politically…..\u201d Like, seriously? Isn\u2019t this the man that called for a press briefing in 2006 and announced to the whole world that he was taking a back seat from politics? How did Lungu\u2019s former political advisor expect him to be in the news always?<\/p>\n

If we may take a step back into the annals of history, when everyone in the nation were actually dead scared of KK and cadres, or vigilantes if you like, would eulogize him as a \u2018demigod,\u2019 Kavindele had the guts to take the risk and challenge him for the UNIP top leadership position at the Mulungushi Rock of Authorities! Frail old women had to be sponsored to protest naked at his challet as the dreaded vigilantes bayed for his blood! He had to pull-out of the race at the last minute for the sake of peace and harmony.<\/p>\n

Just in case Zumani isn\u2019t aware as we suspect he\u2019s still a raw political scientist; this great son of North western province that went on to serve as Chingola Member of Parliament over a long period of time before becoming Republican vice president, actually never enjoyed any emoluments from the state at any given time. This is acknowledged in the letter President Kaunda wrote to him on February 2, 1989 upon learning about the same from the Secretary General of the party, UNIP. Kavindele was in parliament to serve his people, and not for personal aggrandisement as we are witnessing today from most of our leaders.<\/p>\n

Zumani argues that Kavindele attempted to use his \u2018business tricks\u2019 to win Lungu\u2019s signature for his almost moribund Northwest Railway Line project. What sort of reasoning is this? First and foremost, for any project of such magnitude to take off, you definitely require government support! As a matter of fact, this project must have taken-off a long time ago save for one selfish and corrupt cabinet minister in the MMD regime who was quick to throw in the spanners. The project has been in the offing since 2003, it\u2019s just fair that we must seeing some traction.<\/p>\n

Kavindele didn\u2019t take a walk into Lungu\u2019s campyon his own accord; Lungu actually dispatched a senior military officer from North western province as an emissary to try and convince the former vice president to consider joining forces with him. He might have attempted to try and solicit support from Lungu in this regard; however, we aren\u2019t surprised that Lungu never bothered to endorse his signature on the project despite Kavindele tirelessly campaigning for him as the Patriotic Front did not have any development agenda for North western province. They were definitely keen to let it remain a Cinderella province for as long as they wanted as they continued milking it off of its natural resources such as gold and mukula!<\/p>\n

If a president such as Hichilema has done the unimaginable such as supporting this magnificent project, what can stop anyone from describing him as the best President?<\/p>\n

Despite contributing the bulk of the national treasury, North western province remained largely ignored in terms of infrastructural development. Call him whatever names you wish, the people of North western and indeed national at large are obviously, solidly behind Kavindele. This mammoth project obviously brings with it immense opportunities \u2013 job opportunities, ease of transportation of goods and our people and above all, economic boost for the province and Nation at large.<\/p>\n

Laura Miti<\/b><\/p>\n

Zumani says Miti is a slippery human rights activist who has betrayed Zambians on moral grounds and will surely run away from HH after his defeat in 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cHas Laura Miti protested naked at police headquarters before IG Grapheal Musamba against all the growing human rights violations?\u201d Zumani wonders.<\/p>\n

Does this so-called political scientist really knows what he\u2019s talking about?<\/p>\n

Miti is not a friend or colleague of ours per se; however, having observed her from a distance over a long period of time, we can put our necks on the chopping board and vouch for her. She is not only down-to-earth, but a genuine human being who believes in fiercely defending the rights of the downtrodden in society.<\/p>\n

Yes, she may be enjoying a few perks as a Commissioner at the Human Rights Commission today; but surely, she\u2019s not the type to be blinded by such trappings of power and forget the people altogether. Contrary to wild allegations by Zumani; on several occasions, Miti has broken ranks with her fellow Commissioners and called a spade a spade, even as it seemed unfashionable<\/p>\n

to do so!<\/p>\n

Recently as parliament was expending its energy and resources trying to \u2018fix\u2019 a canterkerous and uncouth MP for catcalling the President on the floor of the August House by instituting disciplinary measures, Miti immediately took to Social media and wrote as follows: \u201cOK, ku Parliament kuli kantu! This level of please-the-boss is not good for any President or leader. Surely, Parliamentary administration has more serious issues to direct it\u2019s energies to, than a catcall by an MP known to be less than mature.\u201d<\/p>\n

And speaking to a Daily Nation reporter not long after that, she described as abuse of the Judiciary by the UPND in its attempt to re-open former President Edgar Lungu\u2019s eligibility case for which the Constitutional Court had conclusively determined and pronounced itself.<\/p>\n

As the tiff between the Matero Member of Parliament Miles Sampa and the PF leadership got to a climax, she again took to Social media and took a swipe at the police for taking over the PF Secretariat.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s difficult to believe that UPND had no hand in the confusion that arose in the Patriotic Front (PF) because it is practically impossible for Miles Sampa to organise a coup against his own party without the support of the State,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n

She wondered as to who was making the final decisions on how the police should protect the PF events.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll I can say to whoever it is, re-think of your strategy!\u201d<\/p>\n

Zumani says he\u2019s yet to see Miti protesting naked at Police Service headquarters. As an intellectual, we expect him to fathom that we are no longer in the Cha-cha-cha era where violence was the norm whenever our freedom fighters wanted to drive a point home. This is the 21st century, for God\u2019s sake! Whenever differences arise, it calls for the contestation of ideas through dialogue and debate as opposed to throwing stones or resorting to insults.<\/p>\n

Sunday Chanda<\/b><\/p>\n

Zumani accuses Chanda of having been \u2018chewing\u2019 big time every day when Lungu was in State House, and yet today, he has abandoned him.<\/p>\n

\u201cApart from sacrificing a highly respected civil servant, former police IG in Hon. Malama to adopt Sunday Chanda on PF ticket in Kanchibiya, President Lungu used his own resources and networks at his disposal to finance and support Sunday Chanda to become a parliamentarian in 2021,\u201d Zumani claims.<\/p>\n

Come on guys! What personal resources did Lungu sacrifice apart from tax payers\u2019 money naimwe! If Chanda is reading this article, we wish to encourage him to remain resolute, and not to be swayed by the likes of Zumani who are simply doing their master\u2019s bidding.<\/p>\n

To start with, Malama wasn\u2019t a popular candidate in Kanchibiya; he lamentably failed to deliver to the expectations of the people in the area, no wonder the local leadership wasn\u2019t keen to re-adopt him. This is the reason why he chose to blindly support the nonsensical Bill 10 project to please Lungu and his cohorts as he knew he didn\u2019t stand any chance of being adopted by the grassroots.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s on record that Chanda was a vicious critic of Hichilema during his time as PF Media Director. Day in and out, he\u2019d venture to every TV and radio station or indeed Newspapers to malign or pour scorn on HH. He was just doing his job. However, Chanda is now representing the good people of Kanchibiya in parliament, and not himself! They say when two elephants fight, the grass suffers! Chanda has put politics aside and concentrating on doing his best to meet the aspirations of his people.<\/p>\n

Why is Chanda currently one of the best performing MPs in the country at the moment? It\u2019s simple…..he\u2019s working with the government of the day to deliver to people\u2019s expectations. Whether you want to call him \u201cBally\u2019s step son of CDF\u201d or not, Chanda has delivered phenomenal projects in the area the shortest time he\u2019s been in parliament such as feeder-roads, schools, clinics, youth empowerment projects and sustainable agriculture etc while other MPs continue wallowing in slumber, be it from the ruling party or opposition.<\/p>\n

Mr. President, why can\u2019t you consider making this brilliant youngman Foreign Affairs minister as a way of further fostering national unity to shame your critics?<\/p>\n

In his desperation to remain relevant to Lungu in his grand scheme of things, Zumani claims that if Chanda betrayed Lungu with \u201ckasaka ka ndalama\u201d who made him get to where he is today, what more the stingy HH who is just throwing empty promises on him….What nonsense!<\/p>\n

Again, we aren\u2019t quite sure whether our brother\u2019s mental faculties are still intact or not. What evidence does Zumani has that Hichilema is stingy apart from rumours he might have picked on the streets?<\/p>\n

Before he became President, HH had a history of using his own resources to sponsor orphans and vulnerable children from primary school through to college or university, sinking boreholes in villages or cities, constructing schools and clinics and of course dip tanks; you might do us a great favour by availing us evidence of Lungu\u2019s charitable exploits before he went to State House!<\/p>\n

We shall end here for now as we await Zumani\u2019s second episode.<\/p>\n
