BREAKING : MUNDUBILE suspends Zumani Zimba from his duties as TONSE SG - Davis Mwilla
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
The speaker begins by addressing the nation and providing an update on the health status of President Brian Mundubile, who is currently detained at Kawemaximum Prison along with Makabi Zulu and eighteen others. He confirms that prison authorities granted permission for a visit, during which they interacted with their colleagues inside. The report emphasizes that the President is in high spirits, physically fit, and medically stable, urging all members to remain patient and wait for his eventual release alongside the other detainees.
The discussion then shifts to the contentious issue of Zambia's membership in the United Nations, clarifying that this matter belongs to the state rather than any specific political party. The speaker argues that since the people ultimately bear the cost of membership fees through taxes, any decision to withdraw from the UN must be made via a referendum or an act of parliament, not by individual directives. Consequently, he dismisses recent statements by Director Simuwe regarding withdrawal as purely political maneuvering, asserting that the public has not yet decided on this issue and should ignore such calls until a proper legal process is followed.
The core announcement of the video concerns the suspension of Dr. Zumani Zimba from his duties as Secretary General of the TONSE party, effective immediately. This decision was made by President Mundubile, who serves as the President of DONGE, and the speaker, acting as National Chairman of ECL BM and Movement, explicitly states their full support for this action. The suspension follows a series of statements issued by Dr. Zimba without prior consultation, which the leadership now deems to have been made in his personal capacity rather than on behalf of the party.
In conclusion, the speaker calls upon all supporters of DONGE and the BM ECL movement to align with the President's decision to suspend Dr. Zimba. He reiterates that any further comments or actions taken by Dr. Zimba are strictly personal and do not reflect the official stance of the organization due to the lack of consultation. The message ends with a strong appeal for unity among party members to back the leadership's move, framing the suspension as a necessary step to maintain organizational discipline and integrity.

Uh, good afternoon countrymen and women.
Uh,
we had gone to
Kawemaximum Prison
to go and see our president Brian
Mundubile,
Makabi Zulu and the 18 others.
But I wish to inform all our members
that uh,
prison authority
gave us permission to see the president
and we interacted with our colleagues
at maximum prison.
And I wish to inform all the members
that the president
Brian Mundubile
is in the high spirit.
Health wise he's doing fine.
He's physically fit.
And Makabi Zulu and the 18 others.
And I want to appeal
to all the members
to become
and wait
for
the release of Brian Mundubile
and Makabi Zulu
and the 18 others.
Second issue,
the membership
of the United Nations
which director Simuwe spoke about.
Membership of the UN
is for the country.
In short,
it is the people that pays
uh, membership fees.
So, for any country to pull out from
United Nations,
it must be either a referendum
or
any other means of parliament.
As at now,
the people have not decided.
So, people must ignore
director Simuwe
because he's just doing politics.
Moreover, the issue of UN
is not a UPN issue.
It is a state issue.
Zambian people.
The third one
is that
President Munda Munda Lumumba Vile
President of Donge
has made a decision today
to suspend the Secretary General
Dr. Zuman Zimba
from his position as Secretary General
with immediate effect.
And as National Chairman
of ECL
BM and movement
I wish to inform all the members
that we are in support
of the decision of the President.
And we hope that all the supporters of
Donge
supporters of BM ECL movement will be
able to support this decision.
All the statements that Dr. Zuman made
are in his personal capacity. Told you
any
because no consultation
was made from Zuman Zimba.
He just made it in his personal
capacity.
Thank you very much.
