A LUSAKA resident has sued former President Kenneth Kaunda over parentage.
Lwimba Kaunda has taken Dr Kaunda to court for Zambia’s first head of State’s failure to recognise him as his son.
Lwimba, of Chazanga township, Lusaka, is also suing Dr Kaunda for reconciliation.
The matter, which was scheduled to be heard yesterday in the Lusaka Boma local court, was adjourned to a later date.
The adjournment follows a letter written by Dr Kaunda in which he has asked to be excused as he is out of the country.
According to the summons, Dr Kaunda, of State Lodge, Lusaka, was commanded in the name of the President to appear before the court yesterday.
And the case in which MMD national secretary Katele Kalumba and six others are charged with corrupt practices over alleged overpayment to Wilban Corporation and Systems Innovations for security installations at strategic Government institutions has been adjourned to January 25, 2010.
Others charged with Kalumba are former Ministry of Finance and National Planning permanent secretary Stella Chibanda, former director of budget Boniface Nonde, former Ministry of Finance chief economist Bede Mpande, former Secretary to the Treasury Benjamin Mweene and former directors of Access Financial Services Limited Aaron Chungu and Faustin Kabwe.
The adjournment follows failure by one of the defence lawyers, John Sangwa, to appear before court.
High Court deputy director of operations Edward Musona, sitting as a magistrate, heard that Mr Sangwa was not well.

KK has been a naughty boy it seems
Let the former head of state enjoy his retirement.
this man should just grow up and be a man. You cant force someone to recognise you as a son. He is no doubt a chancer trying to cash in on the KK funds. where was he all yhis time? in any case i think he has got it all wrong he should have come out when KK was president. For him to come out 20 years after KK left office is a bit too late and very suspicious
How old is Lwimba? Does he still need parental support? If anything, Lwimba should be the one supporting the old man…ati iyakula yonka mumwana. KK should counter-sue!
aaaaaaaaaaaahh, eeeeeeeeeehh, b b b but KK was a vegitarian!!!!!!!!!!!….Ah I don’t understand.
so the big man was also doing a tiger woods

Not everyone would be happy to be called a bastard you see. So if you’ve developed a thick skin against that word, good for you babe. He might have left it for this long for various reason shushushus being one of them. As long as it’s not marijuana at play here and the bloke is for real, the big man has to iron out such issues whilst still alive, we’ll understand he’s just a human being like everyone else.
only a woman knows the true father of his child. So Lwimba be careful for may your really father is VJ. I am sure Lwimba’s mother could be one of ex UNIP party carder ladies.
Lwimba taba serious
How old is Lwimba? Who was/is the mother? Why did they keep quiet all this while? I didnt buy the story.
# 7 KK went as far as adopting a child. i dont see how he could have failed to call Lwimba his son if at all he was his son. That shushushu story cant be correct, KK has been an ordinary citizen for almost 20 years. This Lwimba guy is on a mission, period.
This is why we complain about journalism in Zambia. This whole story is half baked and LT posted it without obtaining more information. We need to know who the mother is? how old is he?more research should have been done on Lwimba, where he works, why it took him so long to sue etc. As it is we are all speculating
deleted
I have a feeling Lwimba doesn’t know anything about DNA. If at all he had any idea, he wouldn’t doing this. He really needs some advisors.
DNA test will settle this issue, Lwimba go ahead, limbi ni ba wiso.
A DNA test will put paid to all doubts. You cannot just say that a person is your father, but going by the Chiluba petition trial we may never come to know the truth because the higher court refused to allow Chiluba to have a DNA test to prove that he was Kafupi’s son. It was considered assault, although I do not know which doctor told them that a DNA test is only done on a blood sample!
i agree with #12 such a story required more info. you can see brother man #13 is speculating already. if we knew how old the allegedly son is we would know wether AIDS was in existence by then or not. Trully speaking this guy should have sorted this issue outside the courts. KK is our big man and does not deserve to be appearing in a BOMA court. And besides you dont a court to force someone to acknowledge you as a son. DNA tests can do that for you and avoid unnecessray embarrassement and revealations at a local court
Lwimba must be a mental patient. He wants to drag ba mudala zo ona to local court. Awe KK was too busy as Republican Presido serving the nation to have engaged muchi gololo. Is he sure he is not mistaking KK for FTJ. He should ask his mother
Nothing done is secret shall remain concealed, says the Bible!
Lwimba has every moral right to sue his father. Infact KK should be extremely ashamed of himself for having fathered a child outside marriage. Every person has a right to claim what belongs to him. Whether Lwimba is old or young the truth of the matter is that KK is his father. I strongly think that KK has always sidelined Lwimba for too long a time and thats why the man has had no choice but to sue. Had KK handled this issue properly, i do not think the man could have gone to this extent. Shame on you old man. I expect KK to exhibit maturity in such matters but kanshi he is just like Kafupi. Shame
Lets not be experts of the law and the KK life here. Let Lwimba and KK sort it out. Lwimba may have evidence and reason of coming out now but that is not our baby but his fish to fry he can either use cooking oil or use tick grease.
Is KK not still enjoying his Immunity as ex President? Someone to educate me in law here.
If really Lwimba is a son to the Big man there is nothing to embarrass the big man with but they can settle this in a Zambia traditional court (Insaka or Pamphala).
KK is a man like anyone else. He can make a mistake anyone can make so is Lwimba. But its to early for us to make conclusions. It can be true given the Zambian cadreism culture of giving to the upper Mwambas such that big men have a lot of skeletons in their wardrobes. But KK is better than FTJ who…
# 20 i think you being judgemental without facts. The courts havent confirmed that KK is the father. so lets wait for the courts before we can label anyone.
Let us wait and see DNA tests, that is when ican blogg properly.But otherwise this guy has the rights to know his true biological father.He is not wrong at some spots, but the LT as well should have had a full coverage of the story than adding other court issues that does not relate to this one of KK?
…Waiting for more infomation.
I wish i could have watched this fan story on MAURY’S show” U ar the FATHER” those who watch it they know what am talking about.
Anyway this all story sounds untrue, in the first place where was this Lwimba all this time? what was his mother thinking? and how old is this Lwimba? The mother knows the real father for Lwimba, if anything KK should seek DNA test.
i am convinced Ba Lwimba is up to no good. He just wants publicity , money and fame. If i remember correctly one of KK’s Children was adopted, so it does not make much sense that the big man can adopt a child and let his flesh and blood suffer.i doubt if he will go far with this case.
Awe, i think KK banamunamizila chabe! Women at times can be so crooked! am sure she was chewed by somebody else.
It looks like golfer’s have problems now, KK played golf and if this story is true, then he cheated on mama betty and now TIGER the golfer who plays in the woods to make money has been cheating on his wife, with 14 women who have come forward and claim they have all had sex with Mr TIGER. Golfer’s are good at potting the the golf ball on the small hale.
Let us also not forget that Lwimba is also suing the big Man for reconciliation. This also speaks a lot. It could be true that at some points, KK used to support this chap with hidden agenda but latter they parted company they the sue brow out. Lwimba is suing for reconciliation meaning they where in good relationship with the Big man but later the big man changed cards and then Lwimba found himself off guard. Every Zambian has all the rights to sue anyone whom they suspect of wronging them. But if its true that the big man has Lwimba´s mother as Wakumbali beside Betty they it is a shame. Even if it can be true, still KK can be better Than FTJ who grabs people´s wives.
Men will always be men!! In fact if all of us did a self evaluation we will be Culpable!! Remember the man was all over fighting for Independence!!
Hope the courts of law will handle this case impatially.This is not the first time this story is being reported,only that the POST have decided not to DIG it.
To make the long story short, all men , big or small have got the same problem -Cheating. You will do well not to condemn KK! Those things in between your legs are doing you more than harm than good if you dont know. Try by all means to behave and stick them to only hole. use them for intended purpose! S.i.l.l.y !!
SAMANTHA MUMBA if you grew up in zambia u will agree that it was nt easy to talk in KK`s days
Katalina you souns like you have been a victim of your man sticking his pole into multi holes. Chill my sister, even women cheat! And not every man cheats!
# 21 i think you have a problem because this case involves us the zambian people whose trust he had betrayed by having affiars outside marriage when he was head of state the man who was intrusted to be distinguishing between right and wrong behaviors he fired alot of people for drinking and womanising
KK must not be trusted he must be disgraced
because even what chiluba is suffering for are the sins he commited when he was in power betraying the public trust
the man was a one party state
#34, not at all my brother! never been a victim not even once! Every man is a big cheat, including yourself!
Ba KK, ‘The philosophy of humanism is about Man Me, Man You and Man the other fellow and also Do unto others as you would have them do unto you’. Just give Lwimba a hearing and stop excuses of being out of the country otherwise you will be charged with contempt of court.
#38 we don’t care because he elected by the people to serve not to commit adultery
Comments being made on this blog show just low morals have sunk in Zambia.
wHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE, WE NEED TO PUT RESPECT BEFORE VERBAL DIARRHOEA.
Sincerely, I can not believe that we have lost all manner of respect for the elderly whether they are former presidents or former grave diggers. If we can insult an 80+ years old man, what would stop us from insulting our own mothers and fathers.
SHAME ZAMBIA SHAME.
No. 20 Sir Al Capone. Stop being malicious. You are speculating and already jumping to a conclusion just like your cousins at the Post. Parentage can only be proven by way of a DNA test. Respect the old man, he has done a lot for this country.
Every parent should be happy to be united with his son. Can you imagine the guilt KK has been feeling knowing that because of the embarrasment he can not acknowledge his own son? What a burden has been lifted now they can spend a few years knowing each other. All this man wants is regognition – that is not money. KK will decide that, its not a matter for the court
Its a pity that LT has no respect for KK. The respect KK has in the nation is not worthy the news about him. With draw the article and apologize to us. Its all news that is news to news. This is an insult to the Father of the Nation. Even the so called developed world can not sink so low in reporting. Let accord KK the respect he deserves. There are so many issues going on in Zambia that need reporting apart from civil cases. LT tell use about your private affairs instead of that of KK. There limits to every law. Learn to chose what makes news and not what brings shame to us all. Am ashamed as if it was me who did chigololo.
Once an Asian tiger, always in the African woods.
Respect, respect bla blah blah there’s nothing disrespectiful about people wanting to know what their leaders have been or are upto. This is the price you pay when you decide to enter politics or limelight, no secrets(truth or falsehoods) you see. What LT has done is simply copying from Daily mail and paste the toxic story here. So flex your muscles on Daily mail whose editor-in-chief is Shikapwasha.
#39 Katalina, you asy you’ve never been a victim of being cheated on how come you are branding all men cheats? It doesnt add up unless you say you have never been in a relationship before.
Anyway, coming to the topic at hand, if this man indeed is KK’s child, only a DNA test can confrm that.
If indeed KK is the dad he should just own up and face up to it. Question though, is why leave it up to today?
Dont play SAINTS gentlemen. Just think of how many abortions you have sponsored to maintain your ka small image.
#45, Why are you picking on the LT? This case is a matter of public knowledge brought about by Lwimba’s court summons on KK. There is nothing in this story to suggest that the LT had a part in the summoning of the former president. Are you saying the LT advised Lwimba to take the matter to court?
You bloggers insulting KK do u know how many women your fathers screwed outside marriage?Some of u were probably children born of wedlock so stop humiliating the old man here and show him the respect he deserves.
meant born outside
#48…i.to,lle!
# 49 and yo point is?
#52 from wht u are telling us u whr born out side wedlock
There is time for everything
Respect guys . Leave the big man alone.
# 53, thank you! I see you r ptting your brain to very good use!
Pliz Lwimba whatever they call u, can u leave the big man alone to enjoy his retirement in peace.Where were u all these years? Have you been sent?Grow up and do something sensible man.

ZAMBIAN says:
Just go to Chazanga and ask Lwimba. The case I can assure you will be held in camera
the choice of a type of a court is amazing. This case is a non starter. This Lwimba guy is a joker, he should try his luck elsewhere
It’s true about the times we in, the bible has already said it. Whatever comes out of the KK – Lwimba tussle, lesson has it that there are countless children ‘without’ fathers who will certainly come out if shif comes to shaf.
# 33 i dont need to grow up in Zambia to wonder why it has taken 20 years for someone to claim KK is his father. He could have easily done that during the chiluba era. Chiluba was always looking for dirt to pin on KK so such information would have been good news.
#57 wht do u mean by respect if he couldnt respect himself by been faithful to mama betty
Who amongst all of us that saw something of the KK era dont know about the ‘mama regions’?! Anything was possible under that era and we all know that Lwimba is just one of many that claim to be KK’s blood. The only sin the guy has commited is to come out in the open! The brother even carries old mushumfwa’s name. LT is too lazy to have copied and pasted the story from Daily Mail! What happened to ivestigative Journalism and originality?!! All sorts of people adopt Children but it doesnt mean that they will take care of them adquately or that they will not be irresponsible in their own way! KK is human and lustful like we all are!
KK could be the father but the way Mr Lwimba has decided to wash the dirty linen is public is not ayoba. They could have sorted this in private. Or can it be he tried to blackmail the big and KK would not budge? so the dirty linen has come out?
LT please be serious and do some more research before posting stories. You could also crop the above picture to leave KK alone because the first impression the reader has is that the white guy is Lwimba! What is the relevance of the guy in the picture with KK anyway?
samantha Mumba (germany) # 64 if you remember your bible the guy that laughed at his father’s nakedness was cursed by God. So you need to respect your elders even if they make a mistake.you dont qualify to talk about the big man having a child out of wedlock.No judgement has been passed so for now KK is innocent till proven otherwise. Samantha Mumba (RSA)# 63 i agree with you so many years and presidents have gone by why did Lwimba not make a move.
The guy to the left of KK really looks like Lwimba. I could swear he is the one! He is even a UPND cadre, look at his slogan.
why has KK refused to recognise this child anyway. He has less to lose if he agreed. The dark night is right by pointing out to LT about the picture. what has that white guy got to do with the story. you Mean LT could not even find a picture of Lwimba? please LT you can do better than this.
grade seven you are indeed grade seven
#67 well spoted. I also thought the white dude was Lwimba. Nadabwa ine ati KK went to play away and ended up manufacturing a white dude lol
#12 & #17..
Do not blame LT or Jounalists for lack of detailed information. I believe details of mother, age etc will be revealed later because the matter failed to come up in court due to KK’s absence. Be thankful for free data or give us true data yourselves
I have heard of the phrase, “there is no smoke without fire”, but this is ridiculous! Lwimba achokela kuti? How you you reconcile with a person you have never had a relationship with? You see, Pa Zed, chaps will do anything to make a quick buck, ka. Lets have respect for KK. Human as he may be, but i think this Lwimba chap is a Lunny! Tommorow someone will wake up and say “RB is my twin”!!
Dr Kaunda should be held responsible if he is the real father cause in Zambia alot of people have this bad habbit of concubines (leaving children all over ) let him appear in court and prove himself and if convicted he should pay the man and also include him in the will as a child .Its not too late cause remember for 27 years he couldnt sue him because of the immunity and maybe KK had promised something.
if this turns out to be true, it will paint a bad picture of our presidents, past and present. It will mean all of Zambia’s presidents have had kids from women other than their wives. There is a moral problem with our leaders. We need to profile Sata and see what the situation is with him since he looks set to be the next person in charge
#55 I’m not surprised that u can insult me cuz if u guys can insult a man like KK who is just like your father who am I to get any respect from u?The same way ur insulting KK here is exactly the same way u insult your own parents.I know growing old is inevitable while growing up is optional but its about time u grew up.Just peep into your n.i.c.k.e.r and see how old u’ve grown mama and learn to respect the elderly.
Yangu bashi Panji. Efyo chaba ifi kabili!!
Bloggers!! Relax on the insults please. The issue here is Lwimba “Kaunda” vs Kenneth Kaunda. Chabashani? Some of you are so agitatated, one would think you have an interest in this case. Just put across your point, period. Bane, Chill!!
# 73, if the Tiger woods story was taken on face value, we would all have said it was just an accident. But because of investigative journalism, alot of things have been uncovered. A good journalist knows that there is always a story behind a story. So LT should have done more on this story, even to get us a picture of Lwimba.
ZINGALUME, are you a journalist? if you are then you make a good copy and paste journalist. What LT has given us is not much to be thankful about.This story has more juice than what we have been given. So what you are saying is that if this case does not take off in court we will never know if Lwimba or KK was lying.you are the type of journalists who are spoon fed and get paid for free.To begin with the picture is misleading, this huge story has been mixed with a totally different case. The setting is all wrong. it was better for LT to wait for the court case before it published this story
No# 68 Isi miyaki God did not curse the son, Noah cursed the last born canan. Cush who we as black people decendants from could not be cursed due to his nature as a first born read before you type things. And to Samantha Mumba not Samantha Mumba 1 who is correct in this case, you could not speak up to Kaunda in his presidential reign. Zambians easily forget, we were under a dictatorship like Zim. My respect for mr. Kaunda, my advice, let this matter be handled by a descret lawyer so as it fades. With DNA testing too many Zambians are about to awake to shocking parental realities. Brace yourselves.
Lwimbi sue also your mother for not taking you to ba KK.t!!!!!!!!!
The person who is claiming is a very big full. where was he all this time? People just want to make money out of nothing.
Awemwe! From Tiger Woods, now this?
Bane thats what poverty can do.
Lwimba has a right to sue if Kk is his father. With due respect, KK should sort this matter with him outside the courts.It is possible that KK could be the father. Remember those central committee women members
no # 82 i meant the father not God, but any way thanx for the correction. The point stills remains respect your elders . Canaan was cursed because of lack of respect for the elder by his father. this is what it seems bloggers are doing. they are undressing our elder and making jokes about it
There used to be a guy at chainmana who thought he was KK.You could not convince him otherwise.I think this Lwimba is his son.He should have sorted this out in private now bloggers are busy fighting and calling each other names!
This Lwimba guy just wants to have access to some of KK’s retirement package. How old is he and who is his mother? It could be the mother trying to cash in on KK’s retirement package because if KK accepts that Lwimba is his son then the woman would also demand her share for the services she rendered. Cheque politics are also coming to Zambia. But how about Chiluba and Kafupi? KK may not easily entertain this nonsense because he can’t be forced just like Chiluba and Kafupi were not forced.
Guys let DNA tell us the truth. We should not rush to judgement. Science will put all doubts to rest. We will all know if this is KKs son or not. The other question is why did it take him this long to claim his father if indeed KK is the father. If KK is not the father let him prove through scientifically proved DNA tests and continue to enjoy his life.
Africans appreciate in terms of respect from their people as they grow old but with kaunda it wont be the same because he made alot of mistakes.
Now some of the mistakes are surfacing.
Badly written story!
People people people please stop with this drawing of conclusions. Those of you saying that this man is just an opportunist, what proof do you have? If really this man is KK’s son he is entitled to KK’s estate when he passes period. Put yourself in his shoes wouldn’t you want to have a father in your life, wouldn’t you want your children to know their grandfather even though you are old? This is just not about money, people need to know where they are from including their offsprings. So the best we can do is shut up and wait for a DNA test to prove anything. So please stop coming up with baseless conclusions. The man might be right or he might be wrong who knows.
KK is a responsible man if he knew about Lwimba he could have taken care of him, lets wait for the DNA tests before jumping to conclusions.
KK banged mama Kankasa severals, this Lwimba guy could be her offspirng. Inexpensive DNA test :mothers knows the father to her child , unless she was gang banged ! Do Betty’s children need a DNA -test ?
people of Zambia listern to Lwimbas demand, What he wants is recognition as a child and reconcelliation. It means these people they were in good books before but things are not the same as before. So lets wait for the local court to judge
# 11 don’t be so foolish. The man must have been trying to protect his status in society but now things have come out. Even Tilyenji has neglected his two boys he fathered with someone who has no means of supporting the two boys. It is family desease.
This has a right to do what he has done it’s not a matter of being mad the LAW is there to sort out such issues it is there for every one we such know the facts when it comes up in court the law never take sides with any one.
So KK was scoring birdies as well like Tiger.So Shimpundu was a top notch putterin his hey days.
So KK was scoring birdies as well like Tiger.So Shimpundu was a top notch putter in his hey days.
awe nimawanu maningi mwaziba….but then mugaizi safunika kukambakamba maningi coz bamudala needs alot of repect….the issue can even be sorted out of court…but then futi ngati nizo-ona ninshi nimawanu ba mudala……..
Leave the old man alone you horny niggaz
Hey,it’s not about respect for KK or lack of it,if this Lwimba is the son,then he has every right to be called KK’s son.Remember,before KK married mama Betty,he had one or two kids already from some other lady.Even,Mandela before marrying Winnie was married to another lady,had kids together and the old man recognises his kids from the first marriage,he had a son Makgato who’s son now is Mandla and a chief in Mandela’s village.Am not privy to Lwimba’s background however,neglecting kids can be a very bad experience for those kids.
