Civil Society Constitution Agenda (CiSCA) Chairperson Bishop John Mambo has been accused of being a politician and bonafide member of the Opposition United party for National Development (UPND) led by Mr. Hakainde Hichilema.
This follows the appearance of pictures on social media showing the Bishop Mambo with UPND Regalia strapped on his shoulders for distribution.
According to the allegations leveled by the ruling Patriotic Front(PF), Bishop Mambo was on Saturday 22 August 2020 in Rufunsa District in Lusaka province were he and UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema held a closed-door meeting which led the duo meeting Chief Mupashya of Soli speaking people of Rufunsa.
The allegations further stated that Bishop Mambo further joined UPND Leader Hakainde Hichilema in distributing UPND campaign materials and masks.
Reports further said that Bishop Mambo was also spotted in Nyimba where he met UPND officials at a named location and discussed ways of dislodging the ruling Patriotic Front from the government.
At the same event, Bishop Mambo also unveiled Nicholas Phiri, who is also a member of CISCA and founder and boss for Zitukule Consortium, as one of the UPND and Hakainde’s campaign ambassadors based in the Eastern Province.
Has he forgotten that deportation order by KK.
We know where it was filed.
The hour has come…!!!
Somebody please tell us what law he has broken, and or if he has committed a crime? We have our tribal kings singing praises of the ruling party as well as do so-called Bishops. It was only in the last seven days that Bishops, not one, but a number of them raised a chorus of praise for the ruling party.
I don’t see anything wrong with him affiliating to any political party, its his constitutional right. It can only be wrong if he used it while in church preaching, like Joshua Banda is accused to have done. Where are the Pastors for Lungu and which political party do they belong to?
So what ? Can’t he have political views ?
We have that rat from YALI openly begging for Brown envelopes from lungu…so what ?
Now everything bishop John Mambo says will be viewed with the knowledge that he is a UPND and HH cadre
When I said cisca is funded by hh and his stooges I was called all sorts. The truth has a funny way of revealing itself. Now if I should just hear Piiiim
Why are you worried about and old finished man? Let him exercise his rights in his last years !

Yours truly kz
NOTHING WRONG. EXCEPT THAT HE SHOULD NOT PRETEND TO BE A NON-COMPROMISED “BISHOP”. HE IS A UPND CADRE AND IT IS NOT WRONG TO COME OUT IN THE OPEN. A TRUE CHRISTIAN MUST NOT HIDE HIS IDENTITY. EVEN SOME PF AFFILIATED ORGANISATIONS SHOULD ALSO DO THE SAME. PERIOD.
He is not obliged to reveal his choice of a party, he even has a democratic right to hide it if he so wishes. So don’t mislead people here….
This is total madness, whether he is UPND,FDD, or fwelele fwelele how does it concern us. He has a democratic right, so wake up smell the coffee and start packing with a legacy underlined with total failure in government. Do I need to remind you of what the economic statistics of the country are saying with your currency still being the second worst performing currency in the world. If I were you I would seat still and reflect…..
How can on sit on the fence at the rate these fools, thugs, thieves etc. are messing up our country.
No one has said Bishop John Mambo has broken the law or has done anything wrong. All they are saying is that John Maambo is a confirmed UPND cadre so when he stands in front of his congregation we should be aware what he is preaching. We should be also be aware what CiSCA is advocating for. The media is just doing its job to inform, educate…That being he does look hungry and dirty. Jala yamunyokola.
I look at him as an opportunist
He has a right to belong to any political party just as Bishop Mpundu has , all zambians can choose to belong but the problem is to hide in the dog collar and be a hypocrite .
Now let them do politics effectively and face other active politicians . I have been disappointed by some pastors and bishops who are still hiding but their languages betray them and give themselves out .
My worry is only that who now remains to preach the gospel if everyone has gone away from the pulpit , it is a well-known fact that there are some men of God who are not called however have gone in the field to earn a salary and usually do ministry with wrong motive , and they are not the first ones but these are the ones Paul talked about in scriptures and they are not few , they have no love for the Lord nor…
REMEMBER JESUS TALKED ABOUT WOOLVES IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING. WHY SHOULD A WOOLF HIDE IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING? BECAUSE HE DOES NOT WANT TO BE RECOGNISED. HE DOES NOT WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT HE IS ON A MISSION TO PROPAGATE THE WOOLF’S PROGRAM. THIS IS A REFLECTION OF THE CHARACTER OF BISHOP MAMBO. WHY WAS HE NOT COMING OUT AS A PROUD MEMBER OF UPND? UNLESS YOUR MISSION IS CLANDESTINE, MANIPULATIVE AND DECEPTIVLY MISLEADING. ONLY CRIMINALLY-MINDED PERSONS WANT TO HIDE IN “I AM NOT UNDER OBLIGATION TO DISCLOSE MY POLITICAL AFFILIATION”. PEOPLE ALWAYS WANT TO FIND OUT WHERE YOU BELONG FROM THE WAY YOU TALK. THIS IS BECAUSE CERTAIN GROUPINGS OR POLITICAL PARTIES ARE UNATTRACTIVELY DISLIKED. AND YOU HAVE TO COME OUT CLEARLY WHERE YOU BELONG SO THAT YOU ARE EMBRACED OR REJECTED WITHOUT WASTING…
Matthew 16
23 But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are [a]an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.”
Matthew 7
You Will Know Them by Their Fruits
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
So why did CISCA and Laura Miti having issue with those who support President Lungu. The entire CiSCA and OCIDA is UPND
So why did CISCA and Laura Miti having issue with those who support President Lungu. The entire CiSCA and OCIDA is UPND. No wonder they have nothing good to say about Edgar
There is no hypocrisy anywhere, respect his democratic right. And the same democracy even allows him to hide the political party of his choice if so wishes. There is no big deal here. Let us brain storm how we will get our economy out of this deep mud, and not which party Bishop Mambo belongs, it does not help any one at all.
So what ever political party he belongs to, how does it help you and me. Let’s just brainstorm how to cure our critically ill economy.
It is democracy, absolutely no news here
It was clear right from the onset that he was another useful idio.t and Akainde’s brainwashed cadre
That senior citizen has always been erratic, incosistent…now you see him, now you don’t.
Previously he was MMD.
Is it a crime to support UPND? If not, why is this news? Let all Zambians excersize their rights ok!
I always said it, these b.a.st.ards are not CSOs, they don’t represent the Zambian people, they are upnd!! They want hh in State House, full stop!! All of them, Chimpanzee, Laura, Pilato, Linda, etc are upnd cadres- and should be treated as such!!!! Shameful, pathetic.
The whole country is UPND except for few people who are eating. Bishop John Mambo has democratic rights. He can belong to any party. And can also hide that party. Chinshi chashupa apa pene,
There is a lost soul here calling himself Zambian citizen who thinks it is shameful to belong to UPND. YALI and those fake pastors who have failed to prove themselves in this covid era belong to PF. What is the big deal. Also start teaching yourself and start learning what democracy is we can’t be teaching you everything.
NO. IT IS NOT A CRIME. BUT WHAT IS CRIMINAL IS TO PRETEND THAT YOU ARE NON-ALIGNED, WHEN INWARDLY YOU ARE A RAVENOUS FOLLOWER OF SOMEONE. THAT IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF PEOPLE WHO LACK TRANSPARENCE. IT ALSO MAKES SOME OF YOUR FOLLOWERS WHO DID NOT WANT TO ALIGN THEMSELVES TO ANY POLITICAL PARTRY, BUT GENUINELY BELIEVED THAT YOU MEANT WELL FROM A NON-PARTISAN POINT OF VIEW LOOK FOOLISH AT THE END OF THE DAY. YOU LED THEM THIS FAR BELIEVING THAT YOU WERE A FREE THINKER WHEN YOU WERE CHAMPIONING A PARTISAN PROGRAM. ITS NOT FAIR ” BISHOP”. YOU AND SEER-1 ARE SIMILAR IN MANY WAYS THEREFORE.
Why are you guys trying to take away my democratic rights? I am me n you’re you , so mind your own business, I also don’t want any help in choosing which house gives me the most peace n rewards my efforts…Thankyou
