FORMER Patriotic Front (PF) secretary general Edward Mumbi has applied to the Lusaka High Court to strike out some particulars of facts that Catholic priest Frank Bwalya should state that he masquerades as his late brother by using the name Edward Mumbi when in fact he is supposed to be called or known as Kangwa Mumbi or Mumbi Kangwa.
This is in a matter in which Mr Mumbi has sued Fr Bwalya for defamation over some words Fr Bwalya made during a QFM Radio programme.
According to an affidavit in support of summons to strike out part of the defence, Mr Mumbi contended that in his defence, Fr Bwalya admits that the words complained of were defamatory, but that he pleaded justification.
“That in the defence of justification, the defendant gives particulars of facts relied on as that, the defendant will aver the plaintiff masquerades as his late brother by using the name Edward Mumbi when in fact he is supposed to be called or known as Kangwa Mumbi or Mumbi Kangwa and (b) that the plaintiff went to the Press and alleged that the defendant received US$100, 000,” reads the affidavit in part.
According to the affidavit, the particulars of facts, which are only a repetition of the defamatory words, complained of and subject of the action may be prejudicial, embarrass, or delay the fair trial of the action.
“That the particulars of facts relating to US$100, 000 is scandalous, frivolous and vexatious and further irrelevant to the plea of justification as the defence therein,” he said.
Last year Mr Mumbi sued Fr Bwalya for defamation over some words that he uttered on Radio QFM.

Ba MMD the man has worked 4 u tirelesly, can you find him something to do, you mean there are no more positions in MMD to give to mumbi,may be he is working for ma R. or may be you are scared of him because of his big mouth, exposing secrets.
This confusing can some brains simplify this for me in order to comment
Iwe mumbi Ulwele ifinshi. polio, nangula mumala, or its marasmus. go to hell.
Mumbi dont dent your name. We advise today to stop this oral diarrheoa. No political leader will ever want to work with you if you continue with this tendency. Remember what happened to late Teta(MHSRIP) when he left UPND. Mwanawasa did not want to work with him & avoided giving him position in Govt. He feared the same prague you have. Please watch your mouth.
Hon.Mumbi, please do not dent your reputation. We advise you today to stop this oral diarrheoa. No political leader will ever want to work with you if you continue with this tendency. Remember what happened to late Teta(MHSRIP) when he left UPND. Late LP Mwanawasa did not want to work with him & avoided giving him positions in Govt. This was because he feared the same prague you have. Please watch your mouth.
@4 and 5, why do you choose to abuse the word Hon? This disgrace called Mumbi does not befit the title of Hon. What reputation dose much has to preserve?
This article is senseless. But i bet mumbi ust be extremely broke. I wonder wat wud happen to this guy if miraculously PF took office under sata. My guess is he wud commit suicide, no asylem watsoever.
now we are tired of you mumbi.reporters bring community news such as the one which happened @intercity were the marketer was exposed for using feaces and urine as cham to entice customers who buy nshima.mumbi is not a hero.viva movi tv and mobi for showing that lady who is making pipo to eat her imishombo and imisu.her workers admited that she does that everyday.znbc never shown that but only politics.you should refund me my k3ooo x12monthsx7years plse.unlike listening to chanda ,mumbi and chifine.mind you am not interested in politics nine chitawala
We also tired about Mpombo everyday and his rantings…
This times reporter needs some training on court reporting. he/she should not attend “my session” when it commences
Chainama hospital requires more wards, we have a lot of damaged brains in the political arena now. fed up of this cadre now.
This is the problem of joining politics as a way of making an income. Iwe cheekala grade seven mumbi, wamona, your father sent you to school and instead of concentrating at school, you liked going into the bush to kill the birds, selling cigarettes at street corners and playing dice from the money you store from your mother koswe iwe. Instead of advising your MMD bafoons of what plans they must make to improve the warefare of the masses, you concentrate on laying false claims from your opponents with a view to get favours probably a position in GOVT. Just return to chisokone market where you belong stanyoke and continue with your previous business of selling fish mumbwe iwe
CHANGE Life Zambia executive director Father Frank Bwalya has failed to furnish the Lusaka High Court with documents to state the particulars of fact in a matter where former Patriotic Front general secretary Edward Mumbi has sued him for defamation.
Mr Mumbi submitted that on February 7, 2011, he wrote to Fr Bwalya, requesting for particulars of facts within seven days from the date on which the letter was written.
He said that despite the request, Fr Bwalya has not furnished the particulars of facts.
This is according to an affidavit in support of summons to strike out part of the defence filed on February 15, 2011.
Mr Mumbi is asking the court to strike out particulars that he has been masquerading as his late brother.
He is also seeking the court to strike out…
What does Edward Mumbi do for a living apart from Innuedos and making attacks PF and UPND his every day business. He must be getting a fat pay for these innuendos.
rubbish toilet Mumbi
mumbi chikala chobe
What is Mumbi’s current title or portfolio? He is always being referred to as “Former Patriotic Front (PF) Secretary General”.
If he does not have any title, since it looks like title is very important in Zambia, why can’t he just be called Mr. Edward Mumbi? Drop that “Former cakuti cakuti”. Let the man stand on his own non-portfolio titles.
OR is it a way to advertise the PF or even to decampaign them?
i once worked for Zamtel and Edward Mumbi was my driver..his nothing but a driver tring to fit onto the political senario.The problem is that his making more enemise than friends.thats not the way to go about it.ba Mumbi twapapata!!!
Shall we pliz address Mumbi by his current title! Why doesn’t he want to break his connection by still insisting to have the form PF secretary general tag! Mumbi, RB’s bootlicker n vuvuzela blowing hot air
@17
straight up- 1) Which University awarded him the degree? Let us know so that we can ask those who were at that university at the time.
2) Why was he retired in Public Interest? and a few more questions
Mumbi litole bane.
Go ahead Mumbi, don’t let these dictators in the making take away your democratic and legal rights. Their strategy is to slander people every day in the hope that only their voices will be heard, they need to be kept in check.
kekerkekekeke!!!!!Number 20, you have my day…now i can rest…enough drama for a day.
