Opposition UPND Vice President Geoffrey Mwamba’s son Muma on Saturday married daughter to late Defence Minister Ben Mwila Chisanga at a lavish ceremony that attracted The Who’s of Who of Lusaka’s corporate and political circles.
UPND President Hakainde Hichilema and his wife Mutinta attended the wedding ceremony of Muma Mwamba and Chisanga Mwila.
Mr. Hichilema who was Guest of Honourable thanked the Mwamba and the Mwila families for raising children in a respectful and decent manner.
Mr. Hakainde told the guests that Muma was one of his frequent visitors during his incarceration.
He told the guests that Muma used every opportunity he had during court appearances to whisper in his ears that he was waiting for him to come out of prison and be the Guest of honour.
“Truly to his word I was released on time and am today the Guest of Honour at his wedding I am also proud to say Muma brought Chisanga home and introduced her as his fiancé, a great young lady, thanks to the Mwila family, said Mr. Hichilema.
He called on parents to pay attention in raising children as a family is an important unit in a country’s economic sustainability and development.
“Things could be hard I know but it is our rensponsibility to raise children in such a manner that they too should grow up and have descent marriages as was the case with Muma and Chisanga.” said Mr. Hichilema.
UPND Vice President Geofrey Bwalya Mwamba’s told his son Muma to emulate his fourty year marriage with his mother Chama.
“I expect you to love and trust your wife and live together happily with your wife Chisanga. To you my daughter Chisanga, you are welcome into the family, said Mr. Mwamba.
Mr. Mwamba referred to the late Ben Mwila as his mentor and remembered the old old days together.
GBM’s last born son Muma tied the knot with his childhood girlfriend Chisanga Mwila, the third born daughter of the late Ben Mwila, Zambia’s longest serving Defence Minister.
Among the guests at the wedding were Chief Mukuni and Chief Habasonde,Former First lady Dr Kaseba, Former first lady Dr Maureen Mwanawasa, Former Finance Minister Alexander Chikwanda, Former Vice President Dr Nevers Mumba, Former Member of Parliament Patrick Mucheleka, ADD President Charles Milupi, Peoples Party President Mike Mulongoti, veteran politician Vernon Mwaanga, some Members of Parliament,Former Diplomats and other invited guests.
The wedding was held at GBM’s new residence in new Kasama and Mr. Hichilema welcomed the Mwamba’s family into the neighbourhood.
Weddings must never be celebrated, it is an ancient ritual, marriages are misery holes in current times.
Very wise words from HH to new couple. Congratulations Muma and Chisanga. I wish you all the best in your marriage,
@Nubian Princess ubushimbe waku nyokola! Even your ardent supporter cohort (Mushota) has abandoned you. Find a man and settle down for Gods sake!
Where is the Groom, Nimwenye?
We thank you vice president. This was a wedding for the wise and humans of substance. Not those dirty minded pf meetings where thieves gather to plan how to further steal from the poor. This was money earned through hard work even enjoyed. If we have such men in power how can they steal when they used to that lifestyle. Ala we drunk bane. Meanwhile lungu is busy sleeping on duty with chikonko kikiki
ALA KA marriage ka zasila manjemanje KABILI I am also doing the ka LADY she was my classmate in primary school, she aborted twice and i regret sponsoring the abortion. To the groom wish him good luck but ukose pantu kalikwata long range which from genetics or inheritance u cant manage to reach pamene even Mumbi phiri said it
Stop being vindictive. Let the rich kids of Lusaka enjoy their marriage.
stop being an ass and grow up!
@3. You bastard!
HH, you seem to have loved your days behind bars. You cant say anything without referring to Mukobeko….you will soon be taken back again…lol
It shame that an African father inlaw can take a photo to the extent of touching the daughter in law’s breast
@Kay
Exactly my observation. What was GBM trying to do to his daughter-in-law’s breasts. Mwaice Muma, careful! Abo bawiso balekumbwa umwina mobe. In addition, do not emulate your father by beating up your wife as a way of showing love to your wife. Awe uyu mupongoshi apapusha Ulusaka. Ulefwaya ukutonya amabele ya mupongoshi.
The groom shouldn’t take advice about marriage from his father. Gbm is a bad example of how to treat a wife. Please maiche don’t take that advice. If I were the bride I can push in a divorce immediately unless she ready for the beatings. I can only wish them well. Wedding is different from marriage life.
40 years of marriage together and you are ranting about beatings? This beating rant is rather an insult to GBM`s wife, how else would she have remained in a marriage that she was not happy about?
Quit this garbage.
She’s has endured all because of money otherwise ngakale apyamo. She is only waiting for the death of gbm so she benefits chapwa.
Well, we are down to it.
Therefore, your ranting about beatings doesn’t save any purpose, and as I said before if anything you`re hurting Mrs. GBM.
BTW, 40years is 40years, it can not be bought by money. There are wealthier people than GBM who divorced, and the wives got half of the wealthy, and lead a normal life. Mrs. GBM could have done so.
You are just talking out of ignorance and your reasoning doesn’t make sense.
I don’t like GBM but I don’t agree with the notion that the wife stuck on for 40 years because of money. No she comes from the original richest families in Northern Rhodesia. Her grandfather and his brother were so rich that KK had to work extra time to dismantle them. Their wealth span from Kasama up the Luapula valley from Kawambwa to Musonda Falls. Probably GBM could have married her because of her family background.
They even had shops at Kasenga in the Belgian Congo.
All the best to the young couple. It is in your hands to make the marriage worthwhile.
Congratulations to them both… wishing them both a very happy life together. May they respect the sanctity of marriage.
Congrats my baby sister…!
HH even when they are following u in yo party they r aware of how tribal you are, so they instead marry from their own tribe. They cant marry tribal tongas
Mr. Hichilema who was Guest of Honourable yaba!
lol yaba
While other are proving that there is corruption in leadership, these guys are proving that there is life out-of-leadership!
MISSING LINK WAS STATESMAN PRESIDENT MBWILI/INANGU
I pray Muma has not learnt any GBV tactics from his father to deform Chisanga’s face.
Others like lungu are raising cadre children.They can’t find decent men.You will know them by their fruits.
Lungu is a human being like you so respect his privacy. Whatever education level you’ve attained it’s wasted because you can only contribute rubbish.
Congrats to the happy couple wishing you every happiness.GBM,is that the way you embrace your daughter-in-law, almost touching her breast?
Lavish wedding: I expect a lot of pictures and less prattle…!
Btw, congratulations to you two young fellows and may you enjoy your marriage…
Congrats!
The Boy Looks decent and normal unlike some of his brothers and sisters.
My nephew is wedding next Saturday, can HH be our guest honor please?
they can hung. why would a parent invite guest of honor on Lusaka Times……. I.D.I.O.T
This is about the happy couple and not an opportunity to disrespect HH and the parents of the couple .Can’t you just be happy for them and leave your negativity out of this !!
So it means if a poor person asks HH to attend his wedding, then HH is disrespected? OK now I know my position viz a viz Mr HH.
Wishing the two newly wed a longer life together. I urge you Not to emulate your Day’s short temper and quick to punch attitude or else you shall be spending most of your time in and out of Police stations and eventually jail.
Brilliant counsel from both HH and GBM. way to go.
Aaaaaaw. It’s good to see this touching family event. Bride looks super cute.
Let us pose to reflect that this was only possible because Zambia is a peaceful country. Let’s keep it so, GBM. Politics of discord and violence should be dropped by your party, UPND. You eat of the fruits made possible by President Lungu yet you plot to disrupt this right of enjoyment to Zambians of different political persuasions.
