The ruling Movement for Multi-party Democracy (MMD)in Lusaka Province has joined in calls for Police to ‘cage’ Kasama Central Member of Parliament Geoffrey Mwamba for assaulting his wife Mrs. Chama.
MMD Chairperson for Women’s Wing for Lusaka Province Jane Mkalipi told journalists during a briefing at the party’s provincial headquarters in Lusaka today that as women, they were so disappointed to learn that Mr. Mwamba ,who is a law marker, could be involved in such a barbaric behavior of assaulting his wife to a point where she was admitted at UTH.
Mrs. Mkalipi said society expects Mr Mwamba to uphold and respect the rights of citizens who include his own wife.
“ Failure to adhere to such legal enforcements, the law should visit anyone including Mr. Mwamba so that a precedence is set,”she said.
She emphasized Mr. Mwamba’s ‘ barbaric action on his wife’ went against the convention on the elimination of discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and International Bill of Rights of Women which forbids all forms of cruel, inhuman and degrading forms of punishment.
She said as MMD Women Wing , they would ensure that there the interest of Women and children in general are protected, adding that fore ever, the women wing of the MMD would vow to fight for women’s rights in the country.
The MMD Women Movement has also called on parliament to discipline Mr. Mwamba for his bad behavior adding that Parliament is not for thugs but for law abiding Citizens not people like Mr. Mwamba.
She added that the Royal establishment where Mwamba comes from should take a stern action against him as he has embarrassed not only himself but many people such as parliament and his family.
She said MMD Lusaka Province Women’s Wing will follow this case with keen interest to ensure that justice prevails.
The women’s movement in Zambia has described as barbaric and dishonourable the conduct of Patriotic Front Kasama member of Parliament Geoffrey Mwamba popularly known as GBM who last Sunday assaulted his wife.
The movement has since called for the immediate arrest of Mr. Mwamba.
And the Human Rights Commission has also added its condemnation of Mr Mwamba for his behavior, describing his action as a drawback to the fight against gender-based violence.
Non-Governmental Organisations Coordinating Council (NGOCC) publicity secretary Juliet Chibuta said women were disappointed with Mr Mwamba’s conduct, especially because he was a law maker who is supposed to observe high moral standards.
And Police have received an official report on Mrs Mwamba’s alleged assault and have opened a docket.
The non-governmental organisations (NGOs) have described Mr Mwamba’s alleged conduct as barbaric and dishonourable considering his status in society.
They said the incident is a drawback to the fight against gender-based violence.
Ms Chibuta said women are disappointed with Mr Mwamba’s conduct because he is lawmaker who is supposed to observe high moral standards.

STUPID MMD,I DONT SUPPORT GBM BUT THE MMD SHOULD FIRST ARREST THAT BITCH WOMAN DEPUTY MINISTER FOR BOUNCED CHECK AS WELL
ARREST THE PROSTITUTE GENDER MINISTER AS WELL FIRST
If he assaulted his wife, GBM should indeed be arrested. However, even whilst an MMD cadre (who to a large extent funded their 2006 campaign), he was known to habitually assault his wife and workers. I wonder why the MMD are, only now, calling for his arrest.
deleted after 5 complaints
GBM should just marry Dora. Each day will be fight day.
All Zambian women should boycott GBM’s businesses and Kasama should throw him out and MP
“…..Geoffrey Mwamba for assaulting his wife Mrs. Chama.”
Are you sure Mrs Chama is married to Mr Mwamba? Is it simailar arrangement as Mrs Regina Mwanza married to Mr Chiluba?
NO GBM IS RIGHT TO BEAT UP THE WIFE IF SHE DOESNT LISTEN TO HIM,WE LIVE IN AFRICAN WERE WOMEN ARE SUPPOSED TO FEAR THIER HUSBANDS….I DONT CONDEM HIM
#1,what is a check you pf illiterate?
#8 kwena you are dull and backward. You must be a same sex guy..
GBM achita GBH! Is it the first time this gentleman is bevahing violently or not? If not, why hasn’t he been reported before to be subjected under the law, which apparently he, now, is supposed to be passing? Not pissing!! Parliament should take this issue seriously and subject this (dis)honourable member to its full disciplinary process.
I hope these women can aggressively call for the arrest of doctors who shoot at innocent citizens instead of treating them!
eh imwe?? ninshi!? so we have some rotten eggs here who are complaining about me? va shiti imwe! mind yo business. the truth hurts! lt is pro mmd we know it! and come 2011 bane this ka site is shutting down, enjoy now while u can. ba mambala imwe
I guess the MMD will use this politically in the same way that the opposition politicise a situation when an MMD member is breaking the law instead of letting justice take its course. GBM does not help matters when he goes to the police station with a bus load of hired PF thugs either.
numba 8 chi mbesuma chikaala iwe i got feeling u reported me. and now i am reporting your comment mambala iwe. no hard feeling wawumfwa? deuces mune
This is getting ridiculous Zambians have far too much time on their hands. How much media coverage can a domestic dispute get? Our presidents wife is young enough to be his grand daughter, and we want to sit here and scrutinize GBM. If there was a column in every single newspaper that gave an insight into high profile peoples family affairs people would be shocked.
Violence against women is an institutionalized thing in PF.The whole insanity of wife battering is a PF cancer. It’s not only the so-called GBM and Willie Nsanda doing it, but the entire Marxist legion of Sata’s handpicked PF leadership. If anything, its prerequisite for leadership in PF rank and file. Sober people don’t sale. Given Lubinda has chased his wife through beatings for a tasintha girl, Michael Sata himself is know for this too so is Mumbi Phiri who does it on the husband. Actually Michael Sata’s first marriage failed because of the same chauvinism that took him to excessive wife battering.Jean Kapata was dropped for doing the same muchupo. This is why there is no Gender policy in PF.
Women are a 61% electoral constituency in our country that deserve leadership respect and not this PF battering policy against mothers. This evident thuggery is institutionalized in PF as an enduring Party policy.The thug called GBM should be dropped and tamed from national leadership right now for his violance against women, and our daughters. His animist behavior is violating the UN charter against torture and violence.
Actually GBM is still on drugs.Yes the Mwensos he is desperaging of poverty were deep in drugs with Ibu Isa. Actually GBM a half South African native through his mother was peddling drugs for many years with the Mwensos. He got his money from drugs and MMD favors of giving him Kasama milling in none collateral sell which went without down payment for years of default. If anything he is the most indebted chap with all Marcopolo Buses holding a 86% value note each with a Brazilian trader. Right now he is in dangerous defaults at risk of repo anytime with more unretired obligation to ZRA who may swing into repossession. Some six month ago I had the opportunity of datamining his main business account statement. He is flaunting on a business shell finance wise.
Can someone please arrest my dad ! He battered my mum for 35 years! Fact is, domestic violence is “culture” in most zedian families, 75% of us have seen our mums being battered by their husbands, then our mums would turned their anger us and our siblings….ths culture of pounding women with blows must stop!
mariage is for two people. all of you are just making noise. Mrs Mwamba and the hubby are in love. U dont know what goes on in their house. If and when she gets tired, she will leave. How many of those hired MMD cadres are butchered by their husbands? I dont support wife battering but leave them alone to sort out their marital issues.
Police warn and caution GBM
Police in Lusaka Wednesday morning recorded a warn and caution statement against thuggery Patriotic Front Kasama Central member of Parliament Geoffrey Mwamba (GBM).GBM is alleged to have physically assaulted his wife, Chama, to the extent where she has been hospitalized.
The huge GBM is reported to have used fists to clobber a helpless wife.But when summoned by Woodlands police today, GBM vainly turned up with buses loaded with PF hooligans.The police however managed to interview him and record a warn and caution statement, pre-requisite before a formal arrest is made.
I let the man be free as we let some people bounce checks day after day my government is a government of corruption, battery, rigging and flying all over the world
………kuti namufyonona ubukala, teti anji katae
Only God knows why Mrs GBM has tolerated such animosity. Its high time she left him. Learn to love yourself naimwe bana GBM, be an example to your fellow Zed women and stand up for what is right.
This is not about the MWENSO’s but about a man who beats his wife, GBM or otherwise. Please DO NOT divert from the REAL ISSUE and have RESPECT FOR THE MWENSO’s. Thank You!
i dont think this issue is political but it is purely a case of an individual who is a coward that throws punches at a woman.Those MMD women are not being sincere coz they would have not protested if it was there member who would have literally killed there fellow woman,zambian politics honestly were are we going and for the PF you can do better without the likes of such characters.
it is really interesting that the MMD women are talking about the law coz some of their members shud be in prison right now like DORA,LUCY,MABENGA AND not forgetting FTJ whom they are suddenly protecting.I dont support what GBM did, he can rot in prison for all i care but let the law prevail.By the way TANDIWE was getting paid as a ghost worker and nothing was done,if it had been HH’s wife they would have protested for weeks and would have received massive coverage on ZNBC.It is a shame,really.
if you and your friend have planks in your eyes, remove your plank first before you help your friend.
calls have to have GBM arressted should be superceded by calls to have Changwe arrested for bouncing a cheque
Ba Veteran and your bunch of nitwits in MMD, did I hear you say anything about caging your brother and leader who wanted to gang ra-pe Nawakwi? How do you liars in MMD sleep? Don’t you feel ashamed of yourselves to even contribute or discuss these issues? Your support and defense for Chalwe the gang rapi_st should guide your moral stand on these issues. Probably GBM has some defense in the incidence. Please mention here that yiu want Changwe arrested, then you will have a leg to stand on with regard to morality. Ba LT, give us update on Chalwe ra_pe case. So, since Banda has shielded Chalwe in the ra_pe case, is it not right for us to call him a rapi’st? How do we know how the relatinship of Banda and Tahndiwe began? Has anyone ever see Thandiwe smiling? Trauma has affected her.
If she decided to run round the house even in high heels would ba shikulu have caught her?
Why didnt they call for Dr. Musonda’s blood? Yes GBM is wrong but here these whores are being partisan not that they symphathise with Chama. There are stories of MMD men /women assulting their spouses these whore have not said a word.
The women are just time wasters.

you have no right to talk in that way.stick to the subject.

William Banda – MMD Thug leader
Dr Musonda – MMD Sharp Shooter
MMD candidate’s Son – Muzungu Road killer
Lucy Changwe – MMD Cheque Faker.
Gaston Sichilema – MMD Street fighter Rocky Balboa
These MMD woman’s group can go to Hell and talk to their own party of nightmares first about action taken on the list above who repeatingly break laws on Zambia to keep the boss happy.
Any human being who cannot contain the happenings & challenges of a marraige institution, themselves luck some form of humanness. If you look at most of these leaders for these NGO, they are either divorced or never married before. Ms Chibuta is one such. Now, this institution is a sacred one & the fact that a human being can tolerate another of different sex for that matter, with different backgrounds, is so paramount. In the court of law, Mrs GBM will be asked, do you love your husband? Am sure she will say i do as she did on her wedding vows. GBM will face the same question & as we have already heard-he does love her & will never intend to dumper her for nothing including alleged shagging of tuma hule. A wife is a prestigious “being for a man” A beautiful one for that matter.

..cont36. While a man cherishes sex & loyalty,a woman cherishes attention,security, assuarance & love. No matter how urgly a man’s wife is, he will always regard her as very special. Its a pity that women & men who cant stand the pressures of the first institution on earth are the ones in a hurry to call for disintergration of the marriage. We must preach recponciliation because this is the pillar for our society. If they divorce, the most probable thing is that even their own children will divorce when the grow up because the example left by parents shows that there is no other solution to marital problems including fighting. This must not be politisised by MMD cadres on this blog. You would wonder where the police or NGOCC where when Chansa Kabwela was being harrassed. They usally…
I URGE ALL WOMEN TO STAND UP AND LET US USE CHAMA AS OUR EXAMPLE TO TRY AND CHANGE THE LAW. WOMEN LET’S BE BRAVE AND NOT HIDE ANYMORE. CHAMA WHEN YOU RECOVER YOU CAN SUE THAT POOR EXCUSE OF A HUSBAND YOU MARRIED. YOU CAN TAKE HALF IF NOT EVERYTHING BECAUSE YOU ARE HIS WIFE AND HAVE CHILDREN WITH HIM. HE SHOULD BE IN JAIL RIGHT NOW… YET HE IS OUT THERE. HE HAS BROUGHT SHAME TO THE NATION, TO HIS CHILDREN AND TO ALL MEN. SHAME ON HIM! HE IS A BARBARIAN! THIS IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE HE HAS COMMITTED. THIS IS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. DON’T WORRY HUMAN RIGHTS HAS BEEN CONTACTED. MAYBE ZAMBIA WILL BE IN THE NEWSPAPERS AND FOR ONCE BE EXPOSED. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU POLITICIANS FOR CONDONING THIS!!! EVEN ANIMALS DON’T BEHAVE LIKE THAT.
@39. Watch documentaris on wildlife & you will not give examples about animals. I have seen a dog biting its prostitute nga bai kanina shag. I have seen a snake kill its female for not granting it the fruit & the list is endless. Dont be naive! You say, she must take away half what he has. well, that wont take her anywhere but loose what she has held in esteem for 30yrs to be lost in a 30min common fight. We are all fallible & there are more heinous sins that people you even vote for do & you dont demonise them-hypocrit! Is beating a wife more of a sin than shagging outside marriage? Am not tryig to compare & justify but these are things that happen daily in homes & i have heard certain classes of womenfolk echo that infact a husband who beats a wife loves them(this is wrong tho).

LATEST
Patriotic Front (PF) president Michael Sata has suspended Kasama MP Geoffrey Mwamba from the party’ central Committee.
Mwamba, known as GBM, is facing possible arrest on a case at the Woodlands police where he is accused of assaulting his wife.
Mwamba has also been suspended from his position as chairperson for elections in in the PF.
HOW ABOUT THAT
But Bana GBM was caught day light with a young Tumbuka taxi driver who GBM has been suspecting to be flirting with his wife. The young man had to run away. Unfortunately banakulu GBM failed to escape hence the heavy beating from her hubby. She is known to be flirting with boys and pretending to be attending kitchen parties. Remember the divorce case of Professor Godfrey Lungwangwa.So who is to blame?????????????? Ala bana GBM tabaicindika kwati bakulu kabili abaupwa.
@44, may be that speaks everything about this hoax. I surely know & understand the mind of a man. He cannot just beat his wife for simple issues, it only stems from marital infidelity. Thanks for the inf one ADABWA SAKALA. Even snakes do, & dogs, its a natural instinct. But human are those that do not intend to kill but merely instil some form of discpline, that creates a scar of reference for the rest of their marriage.
GO GO GBM MUKAMBA DONT ALLOW A HOUSE WIFE TO INSULT YOU…PUNCH HER
These MMD women cadres are dimwits, they never called for Shika’s blood when he said that the Parliament motel is used for slaughtering women. Shame on you.
