Chris Zumani Zimba, former State House Special Advisor to President Edgar Lungu, has been detained at Woodlands Police Station in Zambia. The police officers, acting on behalf of the Police Service Headquarters, apprehended Zimba at his farm in Chongwe. He is being charged with the offense of terrorism under Section 25 of the Anti-Terrorism and Non-Proliferation Act of 2018, which is a capital offense.
Patriotic Front Member of the Central Committee, Amb. Emmanuel Mwamba, arrived at Woodlands Police Station to visit Zimba, indicating support from the political party. The precise details of the alleged act of terrorism have not been disclosed at this time.
This development comes shortly after Paramount Chief Mpezeni of the Ngoni people appointed Zimba as the Board Chairman of the Nsingo Museum. The museum, located at Feni Village in Chipata District, serves as a repository for Ngoni heritage, including the grave of King Mpezeni I and his direct royal lineage members.
Speaking on behalf of Paramount Chief Mpezeni, Ambassador George Zulu highlighted Zimba’s dedication to preserving Ngoni heritage and expressed the Ngoni Royal Establishment Supreme Council’s appreciation for his contribution. The NRESC, in collaboration with the National Museum Board and the Zambian government, established the Nsingo Museum in 2017.
Paramount Chief Mpezeni proclaimed that February 5th would henceforth be celebrated as Nsingo Day, as it marks the day Prince Nsingo was executed for defending territorial autonomy and sovereignty. The Nsingo Museum Board, in conjunction with the NRESC, aims to promote this royal declaration on a national and regional scale.
Ambassador Zulu further commended Dr. Zimba’s expertise as a respected Political Scientist and his extensive research on Ngoni heritage, which is deposited in the Nsingo Museum. Hailing from Chief Kapatamoyo, Dr. Zimba’s appointment as the Nsingo Museum Board Chairman was deemed appropriate due to his longstanding involvement as a technical resource to the Ngoni King’s office.
The news of Dr. Zimba’s detention on terrorism charges has generated significant attention, given his recent appointment and his academic contributions to Ngoni history. It remains to be seen how this legal development will impact both his personal standing and the Nsingo Museum.
As the case unfolds, the nation will be watching closely to ascertain the specifics of the charges leveled against Dr. Zimba and to understand the potential implications for his association with the Nsingo Museum and his political career.
Hh is making my life as PF political strategist very easy. I don’t have to find strategic campaigns to show him in bad light. He has a good way of doing that himself. He is a childish hurt little man. Hh gives out small d.l.c.k energy. Who doesn’t know that he is directing police to charge people with laws he doesn’t understand. Terrorism ?? Haha atleast use a chargr that could be believable. Mother farker
With your comments you will further downgrade your beloved failed PF party
Look up the meaning reverse psychology…. so thank you
It’s good that one terrorist has been apprehended but I hope that many more will be nabbed and their collaborators. Some celebrated the blowing up of Zesco pylons many other such acts in Zambia. We’re anxiously waiting. Some of their posts still exist on their platforms
nowander U use a foreign name…U have P O O P in ur head
Why do PF want to drag a whoole tribe into crimes of individuals ???
Were those crines being committed for the the tribe ???
Also investigate the burning of markets……..
Terrorist. Who did he terrorize?
Its a lie. Its cooked up
HH. He is terrorised by anything from a rat to Nakacinda to Lungu to Munir Zulu to…….
Can’t you see the pattern? He wrote an article about a cat that catches mice and today he’s been arrested. Richard Musukwa was shown dancing with PF supporters and the following day his properties were searched and seized. It’s as simple as that
#Kadansa…my surprise is that this man was a Upnd plant so how come the same Upnd government has arrested him? Wonders shall never end.

Awaiting to see the evidence the police have. I do not want to say anything more.

When they arrested him yesterday they had no charge. Media asked Police what charge this Zimba guy was being detained under and police didnt know. The Police went against our constitution by failing to say why they were detaining him. Citizens arent supposed to be detained without charge. Now as we expected, they have consulted with HH and have framed this charge. Its a farce. Zambians we didnt vote for our rights to be trampled upon. We voted for change-not negative change
That’s the wrong caption ba LT
Mpezeni you have appointed a terrorist as board chairman of your museum.
This cult and their self righteous leader have their time soon. Its sad that their blind supporters don’t see anything wrong. Your treatment will be worse..U shud all buckleup..
Let him enjoy the cells…this boy Chris got overzealous at State House and used the police like a private army to settle scores!!
Worsting court’s time on frivolous charges.This will not go anywhere. Terrorism in Zambia? The chaps are running away from their failures. Fuel will be increased to night and a useless person brings bogus graphs educating the gullible. He is hiding under the canopy of arresting his perceived enemies from Northern and Eastern.
Maxwell Chongo has been acquitted…
Mumbi Phiri nollie
We shall wait patiently for the case to start!
No comments for now, but one thing i know Righteousness and Justice these are the foundation of Jehovah Gods throne.
meanwhile foreigners are looting our minerals.
And now we have a gold scandal.
BMW and his cohorts are averse to criticism and anyone who opposes, a trumped up shall be found. Before Chris Zumani Zimba started criticizing the govt, he was a free citizen, when he wrote a cat and mice article, things turned sour. Bally has chifukushi that needs to be tamed.
