CiSCA Press Statement for Immediate Release
Lusaka, 27th August 2020: The Civil society for Constitution Agenda (CiSCA) wishes to inform the public that Bishop John Mambo officially stepped aside from his role as CiSCA Chairperson some months ago. The delay by CiSCA to announce this development and fill this position was as a result of the demise of Bishop Mambo’s mother, MHSRIP.
CiSCA is and will remain non-partisan while recognising and respecting the right of everyone to support and vote for a political party of their choice. We are not an appendage of any political party but we will not stop anyone from associating with a political party of their choice. As a matter of policy, anyone who becomes overtly partisan must disassociate and Bishop Mambo did just that.
Since Bishop informed the movement about his stepping aside and until necessary administrative changes are made, all media statements from CiSCA were and will continue to be issued by the CiSCA Vice Chairperson, Judith Mulenga. There is therefore no need for some quarters with logs in their own eyes to be excited about the social media stories linking CiSCA to partisan politics.
CiSCA is a human rights promoting movement which respects and promotes the right to freedom of association and assembly for everyone including its members.
We wish our former Chairperson all the best in his future undertakings.
As CiSCA, we will continue to advocate for people driven constitutionalism, ensuring that the supremacy of the will of the Zambian people, democracy, respect for human rights and the rule of law are upheld in Zambia. This is not the first, and certainly not the last, time that our movement will make adjustments in its leadership structure. All serious entities with values and principles regularly re-align their leadership. It is only those with no regard for constitutional principles that would insist on having leaders go beyond the limits of their mandate.
Judith Mulenga
CiSCA Vice Chairperson
When I said cisca was upnd sponsored people said I blame everything on upnd. Alas, we have full evidence of upnd paying off civil society for his ulterior motives.

The man is looking for handouts to sustain his dwindling fortunes. He is a shadow of the Bishop we knew of yesteryears. Unfortunately he is backing a wrong horse.
KZ ia a fool.
John Mambo, my advice to you is if you are broke and in need of money UPND is a wrong place to go. Those people despite having so much money and cows they only spend on funerals and when selling their daughters. You will come back like GBM, Canesius Banda, Maureen Mwanawasa and the list is endless.
He was always a UPND cadre just like Gregory Chitu fi Chifire
Hungry….he is looking for handouts….his Nyamphande Orphanage is not doing ok…no donations coming in….its a fake NGO
lame excuse for not announcing such an important decision. Did he step down because of the death of his mother? condolences to him and MHSRIP.
There is no offence, no matter which party Bishop John Mambo belongs. Can we discuss progressive issues please. What is the rate of the Kwacha to the dollar today?
Inflation over 15%, Exchange rate 20 kwacha to a dollar, GDP contraction, reserves depleted, Debt unsustainable, IMF can not even bail us out, Fuel and energy prices over the roof, and we should be discussing John Mambo here, Shaa
What about Chi Bishop Chomba of PF??
Mwa onekela baba
The PF rats think because lungu used borrowed money to build infrastructure, BORROWED MONEY , which even my garden boy can do , the rats think every one owes lungu their vote ……..
The man has destroyed the Zambian economy. Paying back that borrowed money will chew 90% of GDP soon while the theif spends millions on military equipment for police and rodents are feeding on patients and their food in hospital wards. No medicines ……
ati hard working…..
Musula wenu
That’s a cheap excuse by Judith Mulenga, and what’s interesting is how she tries to justify the delay of announcing the resignation of John to Johns mothers death,to top that Judith tries to swerve the direction of the topic to how Cisca is none partisan and speaks for the people and how some leaders (Edgar) go beyond limits of their mandate (3rd term) shes obviously the new John, she will be spotted in upnd regalia too..we know them
I’m transcendent
CISCA can’t hide anymore, people know what they stand for, an organisation pretending to be for the people, at this point Cisca is like a zebra trying to convince us its actually a horse by distancing itself from its zebra droppings…iwe ayo mafiiii yobe
Message approved
Shame on him. He should not be called Bishop. He is a disgrace
Judith Mulenga is a liar. 4 days v
ago, the Mast Newspaper gave this man a Frontline story as Chairman. Let them just accept they are an extension of the UPND

Liars like BISHOP MAMBO and JUDITH MULENGA shall not inherit God’s Kingdom
So, who are the frontline candidates for 2021 presidential elections?
Bishop Mambo has not killed any one. Tito Mboweni can confirm this, in case of doubt. We repeat yet again for clarity. Bishop Mambo has a democratic right to belong to any party of his choice and he even further has a democratic right not to disclose which party he belongs to if he so wishes. We will continue teaching the tenents of democracy until it sinks in some peoples heads. We will not get tired, it is our duty to educate on another.
Busy attacking CISCA, meanwhile dollar is eating the kwacha on the other side. Busy attacking John Mambo, meanwhile inflation is shouting on top of its voice, Busy debating which party John Mambo belongs to, meanwhile a doctor is dying in Kabwe without her two months salary. Can you be serious for once, we know you are never serious but atleast pretend you are serious for once
When Frank Bwalya joined PF no one talked and he is quiet eating on the table with PF and he is a married man. Every person is politically inclined to that which he loves. We live in this world with many frustrations by mosquitoes and red ants. A mosquito bit is on everyone and no one is left free because he or she is a Christian. Jesus Christ fought running battles with the Jews, Pharisees and Zealots. Did he keep quiet because he was from God? The answer is no. Read the Bible well and you shall discover that most of the time He was waging cold war with the leadership of his time – the Jews, King Herod and his leadership. Jesus even called King Herod Fox (wild dog) – because of his behavior. King Herod position today is the Title of a president who claims to be humble and yet he is not…
CiSCA trying to do damage control but doing a bad job. Sometimes keeping quiet is better
Kkkkkk exposed pulpit man, we will now take him as a bitter upnd cadre. Since everyone in upnd is bitter just like their life president
CiSCA has always been UPND. They are waiting for jobs if HH forms Govt in 2031
THE CHICKENS HAVE COME TO ROOST ON THIS BISHOP. HE HAS FINALLY BEEN SMOKED OUT OF HIS HIDDING PLACE. YOU CANNOT CONTINUE HIDDING AND DECEIVING PEOPLE. CHRIST SAYS “THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE”. SIR, ONLY “THE ONE WHO HAS ITCHY ANUS WILL HAVE SMELLY FINGERS”. MAMBO HAS SMELLY FINGERS NOW. THATS WHY HE RESIGNED SECRETLY. UNFORTUNATELY FOR HIM, WE CAN ALL SMELL HIS FINGERS. WE ALL KNOW THAT HE HAS THE DEMOCRATIC RIGHT TO BELONG TO ANY PARTY OF HIS CHOICE. BISHOP WHERE IS MORALITY AND FIDELITY? ANYTHING CAN BE PERMISSIBLE, BUT NOT EVERYTHING IS BENEFICIAL AND MORALLY RIGHT. THE BIBLE IN 1TIMOTHY 3:2-7 SAYS “Now the Bishop is to be above reproach, respectable, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must also have a good reputation with outsiders”. BISHOP HAS FAILED ON ALL THESE…
-CONTINUED-
BISHOP HAS FAILED ON ALL THESE BIBLICAL REQUIREMENTS. THE BIBLE HERE IS NOT TALKING ABOUT THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO BELONG TO ANY PARTY, IT IS EMPHASIZING VIRTUES OF HIGH MORAL STANDARDS SUCH AS RESPECT, GOOD REPUTATION ETC. YES THE ECONOMY IS BAD, AND THE PF MAY BE THE WORST PARTY. BUT HERE, THE BISHOP HAS BEEN FOUND WANTING AS WE CONTINUE DEALING WITH OUR ECONOMY.
You are F.U.C.K.I.N liars CISCA. That gonga Bishop was in the news some 3 days ago as Chairman of CISCA. You see how things get exposed. HH funds that CISCA way he now funds OCEDA

The Bible says, do not be misled. For whatever a man sows, he shall reap. Bishop Mambo sow his life to lies; he is now reaping. Next is Archbishop Mpundu. God exposes those people who hide behind his name.

But when he says he is representing a non partisan organisation, he should not only be seen to do so but he must also do so. More so as a pertented man of -od. This is embarrassing and to defend it is to insult the intelligence of Zambians. This UPND is no different from this PF lot. Just greedy, hungry bastards!
Why hiding in the first place but ba John nabena. HH may win 2021 elections but the danger that comes with that is so big. He is a pure dictactor that Zambia has ever produced. Give him power and see, Lusambo is even far much better than HH. Removing HH from presidency will be a replica of Mugabe down fall. By the way, even if HH fails to win 2021 elections, his position as a president of UPND is untaucheable. The only good news to his supporters is that the world economy is shaken and poorest countries like Zambia, it is so bad and HH is seen as a saviour by many people who do not read international news. He may not even be given a chance to correct things because most of ignorant people thinks that he will be dishing out his money to them because he is rich. The advise to guys is that,…
Oh well, he will be back when he sees how tight fisted Red Man is. There’s no handouts over there. All the best to him!! Meanwhile dollar ati shani uko rate? Perfect time to be increasing my savings back home.
Why do this I…ts call themselfes Bishop,yet they are just crooks.To many bishops in Zambia.
A flotilla of ‘men’ of God experiencing pangs of hunger travel hither and thither for the crumbs from the politician’s table.
