POLITICIAN Cosmo Mumba has advised elder brother Nevers to reconsider his political aspirations, saying many citizens do not subscribe to the values of the MMD.
Cosmo, who is National Revolutionary Party president, has also distanced his party and himself from the activities of Dr Mumba.
“I wish to distance our party from the political aspirations and activities of Dr Mumba, whose major objective is to rescue the MMD from its comatose,” Cosmo said at a press briefing at Taj Pamodzi Hotel in Lusaka yesterday.
He charged that the MMD’s ‘distorted’ vision in the last 20 years the party had been in power only managed to kill the country’s economic aspirations.
He said Dr Mumba will have to rewrite the rules of political prophecy for him to resuscitate the MMD.
“The challenge is that Dr Mumba and his colleagues in the MMD tap into the same belief system and yet are members of different spiritual constituencies. Their world views are conditioned by different systems, deadly certainties and mystical orientations,” Cosmo said.
He said it is unrealistic for Dr Mumba, who has been out of the country for over two years, to just come back and venture into politics. Dr Mumba was Zambia’s High Commissioner to Canada until recently.
“To the contrary, we recall President Sata’s pledge to govern the nation based on the 10 commandments of the Old Testament. We hereby advise Dr Mumba to carefully scrutinise his facts to avoid the many errors of judgment he has exhibited in the three short months he has been out of his job as High Commissioner to Canada,” Cosmo said.
He said his party supports the establishment of the technical committee on drafting the republican constitution which will incorporate and reflect economic objectives, strategies and priorities which will be in tandem with national development plans.
He called on political parties to reflect on why they lost the elections and allow the PF to implement their manifesto.
Cosmo said his party will support the PF, adding that the ruling party has delivered on its promises to reduce the price of fuel and increase the tax threshold.
“The PF has inspired hope and confidence in the people by demonstrating its vision with practical policy options,” he said.
Cosmo also said former vice-president George Kunda is not the best person to champion human rights in the country. He accused Mr Kunda of showing no respect for the rule of law as “he only supported Rupiah Banda.”
“We wish to warn George Kunda and his surrogates that the people who voted for the PF are watching him,” he said. He also welcomed the ratification of Mutembo Nchito and Musa Mwenye as Director of Public Prosecutions and Solicitor-General, respectively.
Cosmo said his party will advise the PF constructively and quietly when it makes a mistake. He said he will work with the PF government in whatever capacity. He said current investigations into the alleged corrupt activities of former leaders in the previous administration must be extended to journalist Chanda Chimba, Committee of Citizens executive director Gregory Chifire, New Generation Party president Humphrey Siulapwa and Evangelical Youth Alliance pastor Moses Lungu.
Cosmo called on the people of the Western Province to be patient with the PF government, saying President Sata is yet to study the report by the Roger Chongwe commission of inquiry into the January killings in Mongu.
Meanwhile, THE MMD has started the process of appointing an eight-member committee to organise an extraordinary convention to elect former President Rupiah Banda’s successor.
The committee will include party national secretary Richard Kachingwe and national treasurer Mwansa Mbulakulima.
In an interview yesterday, MMD deputy national secretary Chembe Nyangu clarified that the former ruling party has not yet appointed the committee but is in the process of doing so.
“This committee will have men and women who are concerned about the welfare of the party. We want people who will perform and not individuals who do not have the interest of the party at heart. We feel that more women should be on the committee because we believe that they are good performers,” Mr Nyangu said.
He said the extraordinary convention will be held in accordance with the MMD constitution to avoid litigation.
He said other members of the committee will be named after consultations are concluded.
“We will hold the convention as soon as all logistics are in place and we hope to do that soon,” Mr Nyangu said.
On December 17, 2011, MMD spokesperson Dora Siliya announced that the MMD national executive committee (NEC) resolved that the party would go for a convention to elect the party president.
“Initially, we had allowed to field a new president through NEC after President Rupiah Banda announced soon after the elections that he wanted to retire. But the full NEC meeting has agreed that we should pick the president at the extraordinary convention,” Ms Siliya said.

Zambia loves media!!
COSMO SHOULD JUST CONCENTRATE ON BUILDING HIS SMALL PARTY RATHER THAN BEING A PF VUVUZELA. WHAT HE IS DOING IS NOT DIFFERENT FROM WHAT SILUAPWA, CHANDA CHIMBA AND OTHERS WERE DOING TO MMD.
If mmd put Mumba as their president, that will be the end of mmd. Just recall how mumba sold his party just to get positions in mmd. The guy is specialised in selling parties. Be careful mmd’s.

! Musokotwane 1,000 bicycles at his farm! Dora ama Honda ( motor bikes ) 20 for personal use ! Liato K2 billion buried at his farm! Max Mwale 200 bicyles ! RB – $700 pin real estate development in Kabulonga. My conclusion is that all the ex ministers hands are dirty ! Why it takes so long to cage these chaps with so much evidence is beyond me. Only Kashiwa Bulaya and Richard Sakala got behind bars. Let us wait and see !!!
Bebe mwaiche wandi…… A SPADE calL it a SPADE
Mumba Nervas find a LIFE.
Another siulupwa in the name of Cosmo Mumba. What is the problem of these chaps kanshi? When a we going to have sanity in the political arena? Cosmo can you concentrate on your party as opposed to being a Pf vuvuzela.
If Cosmo was really concerned about his brother he would have talked to Nevers in private and not in the Media!
DELETE
Yaba, brother against brother in the public arena, to mean what? Didn’t the parents of these two teach them something about the folly of mudslinging between siblings in public? The brothers should not be on Zambian political stage. They make noise and let out a lot hot air. Proper time wasters!
SO THEY ARE BLOOD BROTHERS. WOW ITS A FAMILY OF PRESIDENTS.
At least there seem to be some bit of sense in the KADOLI
# 9 may be he tried in private and brother man does not listen. Nevers always want to go his way!!!
I wonder if some of these parties really stand a chance of being (re-)elected any time soon?
Nevers Mumba is a liar and a money laundering machine
Him and the deputy Mr Nzo ya are staling tax payers money. They had fired Mr Tem bo because he knew about this scam and was? against it. They also have a office sl ut , Car olina Rodri guez who is also abusing the money. The Ottawa Zambian mission are thieves.
What the guy said is true. It is good observation about the MMD, PF and Dr Mumba. What is of concern though is that he spoke against his brother and he is negating his own party. Remember GBM and Mukonge. Munkonge apologised to his brother.
yes, Cosmo is rite…Nevers will not manage to rescue MMD, now with all these scandals coming out, how stupid can Zambians be to still cling on to a party full of thugs? it is a finished party, basta!! Nevers shud just join his brother
Oh! kanshi those two are brothers? no wonder ….!ka dressing epo kaba but unfortunately, no brains! was wondering the similarities between the two. now it makes sense!
If i may ask are these guys BLOOD BROTHERS or they just share the same surnames
Washing family linen in public.
BEBE ABAKAAMBA BALETUSEBANYA…………..
there is sense in what cosmo is saying.but kwati ba Nevers Mumba bonfwila apatali thats why the brother have done this for him to see it fast.
nevers is misled. zambia changes very fast when one is away. he should have taken time to study the new scenario before loudly championing the cause of a zombie party.
foolish pf vuvuzela
Cosmos Mumba is not a brother to Nevers Mumba. They are just both from Chinsali and maybe a thread of extended family relationship. Absolutely not brothers. I know Dr Mumbas brothers and sisters and the fact is Cosmos is not in that tree, and he doesn’t make that claim himself but the Lusaka times writers does make the claim. So can the story teller state the fact. It was a deliberate statement to make the story have some meat.
And what wrong has Nevers Mumba really made. Do you all believe he store at the embassy in Canada? Has Sata prevailed over your reasoning?
You got some wrong info dude…check your “facts” again.
Why do people even waste their time attending this clown’s ‘press conferences’? Don’t they have better things to do? Another thing why is this clown talking about the MMD and not his circus, NRP?
PLEASE PEOPLE / BLOGGERS YOUR ARE JUST WASTING YOUR TIME, THE TWO CONMEN KNOW EACH OTHER WELL, THE ARE BROTHERS IS TRUE, BOTH OF THEM KNEW WHERE THE MADE FALSE DOCUMENT OF PHD’s DOCTORS IN NIGERIA. BOTH OF THEM ARE FALSE DOCTORS, MAYBE ARE DOCTORS OF SAGOMA’S, OR WITCH DOCTORS, BOTH OF THEM DO NOT HAVE ANY SINGEL RECORD FROM AN UNIVERSITY IN THIS WOLRD. BOTH OF THEM THEY HAVE DOCTORS DEGREES FROM WIZARDS, BOTH OF THEM THE KNOW THIS SECRETE, WHY Tdr. NEVERS MUMBA IS FEARING TO ANSWER HIS BROTHER’S ATTACK ? FEAR TO BE DENOUNCED ….YES. PLEASE TRADITIONAL DOCTOR ( Tdr. Nevers Mumba) ANSWER YOUR Brother TRADITIONAL DOCTOR (Tdr. Cosomos Mumba ). Please blogger you have to address this two brothers with their title ….. Tdr. (Traditional Doctor).
#28 xxl,
I am sure you know these brothers better. So they are conmen with fake PHDs and both want to be president?
Leadership comes from God and God has put Ba Sata there according to the Bible which Ba Nevers preaches and now he wants to be an opposition leader, wont he be opposing God? How as a man of God is he standing against what God has put in place, are we contradicting ourselves or what?
Too premitive and ridiculously dull
Cosmo, Nevers…was there a shortage of names or is the confusion genetic…from the man who sired and named these brothers!
empty vessels make loud noise
ba ndokota ba ku Chinsali ibange!
Cosmo Mumba sounds like a shameless person.
#26 Kondolo. If Cosmo and Nevers are not brothers as you say, then LT is being malicious to Nevers Mumba. It is not too long ago they apologised to Nevers for saying things he did not say. If these tow peope,are not brothers then LT has something against Nevers Mumba. That will be disgraceful behaviour.
COSMO is not a normal Zambian name and sounds a spoiled child that lacked full normal life development. Any moral code in his welbeing? Equally speaks with authority from PF govt as 2nd spokesperson. Satelite planted by PF. Can we hear his vision than his brother’s errors.
Ungrateful twit. He has forgotten how Nevers looked after him.
PLEASE I KNOW THIS FAMILY VERY WELL, NEVERS HE WAS WITH ME AT NORTEC, HE HIS A ELECTRICIAN BY PROFESSIONAL, BEFORE HE BECAME A PASTOR, Tdr. Nevers Mumba has never being to any University, just like his brother Tdr. Cosomo Mumba – him his a failure grade 12. No one is a Doctor among them. Better we call them Tdr.(Traditional Doctor).
Sounds like sibling rivalry! These two can sort their differences in the confines of their homes without playing to the public gallery. They are both hopeless politicians and time wasters. They should just leave the political stage with their ridiculous antics. Lets hear it from King Cobra on impropriety Nevers committed at the mission in Ottawa (Did Chifungula’s agents speak to Camila Rodriguez at the mission?) Hint, hint, hint….
ba ndokota ba ku kinsali mwebo nindo muko labila no mubiyo….alale nibo!
ala mwe bana ba ndokota kabiyeni kumushi kumyenu abakulu ba miteke pansi……ala natola umupamba!!
awe xxl, you’ve really made me laugh… lolest.. ati please call them by their title/s Tdr.. :)):o):o)
This is a case of biblical Cain Vs Abel..This is a contest of ‘Who is more blessed’. I guess Nevers is shouting ‘fire of the holy Ghost’ to Cosmo…Cosmo is also busy declaring Victory in Jesus name…ala bwafya…
Zambia Shall be …
Tdr. Never Mumba versus Tdr. Cosomos Mumba (Tdr. stands for Traditional Doctor ). Their father in Chinsali was also a Tdr. family of fake doctors. All are Wizards doctors.
some of the pipo talking sheet are very foolish if Dr Mumba Nevers paid them let them eat his money and dump him
Cosmo sounds like a mad person trying to gain some ground using heavy weights in the arena. He is a foolish man. He is a shameless fortune seeker. Cosmo is jealousy of what his brother has achieved so far. What a fool. I end here!
what a power hungry family.
Look bloggers these two can be brothers if they want. But what the young brother is saying makes sense. I remember even one time his cousine Frank Mutubikla asked the same when he abandoned his party and joined MMD. If people want to know that Mutubila`s mother is a sister to Never`s mother. you can ask them if you wish.
“Family matters….”..
Ba Cosmo muli chipuba fye imwe. What are trying to earn from PF? live Dr. nevers Mumba alone. Ibange na lya mukolola mwa yamba ukusabaila. uko mwe mbushi mwe.
family of wannabe presidents/
Before the 20th September elections, which party was Cosmo supporting since he did not contest the elections? And ever since he became president of his party, how many political parties has he ever supported? If his principle is to align with the party in power, then let him transform himself from a leader of a political party to a pro-ruling party civil society organisation such as Edwin Lifwekelo’s or Independent Churches of Zambia Board Chairman Reverend David Masupa.
Never Mumba, mweebe mwaice. Tomfwa mambala.
MMD auction in the pipeline if you put him at the helm.
the only thing our listening Pres. can do is to change the currency, so that we get theese
Epo ba Nervas babutukile away from his impanga (church congregation) NOTHING GOOD WILL HAPPEN IN HIS POLITICAL LIFE.He needs to repent…….His calling was in line of Benn Hinn.But he lost it like that because of ka ngwee….Ba Mumba,remeber how you inspired us during the BIG YELLOW TENT with pastor Bonke….ITS NOT TOO LATE..!!
Ba Mumba,look at all the fallen men of God in Zambia…No one today is OK.All are terribly suffering.Its biblical..If you church leaders mislead impanga YOUR FALL IS MORE THAN TOUGHT OF…Look at pastor Ernest Chelelwa (NAOG),pastor Kolosa,etc,etc….Its never too late.Go back to the pulpit.U WILL NEVER RULE ZAMBIA…GOD STILL LOVE YOU…
sorry…l meant ….MORE THAN THOUGHT OF….
we cant believe the so called nevers mumba the former pastor who even failed to be faithful onto GOD what about in government he can even be suspected of corruption
