My brothers in S/Province I didn’t mean to demean you but merely to discourage tribal voting – Kambwili
He writes:
It is exactly one year today since you died in that tragic accident on the way to Kasama for the politically motivated court case for which I am in prison today. You died fighting for my freedom which I eventually lost, today I am in prison battling very high BP, the authorities have refused to take me for speciality medical treatment, as I write today, my BP is 218/107 mmHg.
I thank God that I am still alive despite having BP that has been consistently over 200mmHg for over 2 months, i know for sure that you did not deserve to die and had it not been for this politically motivated case, you would still be alive today. You were both committed Christians, as Pastor and Elder and preached love and forgiveness.
I know who cased your death, God knows and they also know themselves, but deep down in the bottom of my heart I have forgiven them as the bible says vengeance is for God. Today our family and I celebrate your lives as I said on the day of your burial, it is painful to lose a brother let alone two at the same time, Rest in Peace my brothers, Mutale and Mwamba Kambwili, till we meet again on the other side.
Further I would like to sincerely apologise to all the people who might have been injured by the words I used during the Radiomano program in Kasama particularly the Tonga people and the people of Southern Province in general.
To you my brothers and sisters in Southern Province, my words were not meant to demean you in anyway but merely to discourage regional and tribal voting, please find it in your hearts to forgive me. We are One Zambia One Nation. Let Love Lead.
Hon. Dr. C. Kambwili
The man can not give tribalism a rest can you?
Each person in Zambia or the world has tge alienable right to choice. How they excerise that choice Mr. Kambwili is no of business. How prejudice is their right. How you choose to spend your money should then be my business? How?
Its called free will. The point is that in the debate to get you to spend your money I should not impose my prejudices in your choices.
I fail to understand some people. If the people in northern or eastern regions overwhelmingly vote for party led by leaders from the same region, they call it stronghold, but if people from other regions led by leaders from the same region, they call it tribalism. Isn’t that double standards? UPND was formed in 1997, but they managed to get an MP in 2024. Can that also be called tribalism?
Bemba are just too selfish to put it straight, if they can acknowledge that and work on it, it will be better for the country. In every country each president has stronghold. Here in Zambia it’s only a person from Southern province who should not have stronghold. It’s really stupid to be this selfish and hurt.
Otherwise your apology Mr Chishimba is a step in the right direction, that’s being human and One Zambia One Nation.
Apology after being handed a custodial sentence?
Ya mukola jele shrek. Boma ni boma.
The apology is not sincere. Should have come shortly after the remarks.
Wakamba leti
CK your mouth caused the death of your brothers. You need to take responsibility of your actions. Unfortunately you are unrepentant because you shifting blame of death of your brothers on others. And why was it that you have to lecture Tongas on tribal voting? How tribal are Tongas if they have overwhelmingly voted for non Tonga presidents from independence same as how Northerners or Easterners & others overwhelmingly voted for a Tonga president in last election. Zambians are not interested in the ethnicity of the president, all they want is an honest leadership which will deliver on their needs. Only myopic politicians such as CK are using tribalism for their political expediency. Do your politics on real substantive issues like cost of living, electricity issues, corruption etc. This tribalism angle you leading towards will one day burn Zambia. We dont have any other home but Zambia. Sorry to say, you such an embarrassment CK. I thought you would have reflected in jail but it looks like you still haven’t leaned a thing.

FACT CHECK
1962 Northern Rhodesia General Elections
United Federal Party ( White Settler Party) – 15 Seats
United National Independence Party ( Kenneth Kaunda) – 14 Seats
Northern Rhodesia Africa National Congress ( Harry Mwaanga Nkumbula) – 7
And note that there was a secret pact between Harry Mwaanga Nkumbula and UFP. And the 7 seats were all from Southern Province
1964 General Elections
United National Independence Party – 55 Seats ( Western Province, Central Province, Copper belt Province, North Western Province, Luapula Province, Northern Province, Eastern Province)
Zambia Africa National Congress – 10 Seats ( All in Southern Province)
– Monze – Harry Mwaanga Nkumbula
– Choma- Edgar Musangu
-Kalomo – Landson Hantuba
– Namwala – Edward Liso
– Mazabuka – Mufaya Mumbuna
– Gwembe – Siantumbu Beyani
1968 General Elections ( Marked by Violence)
United National Independence Party ( Kenneth Kaunda) – 81 Seats
Copperbelt, Central, Northern, North Western, Eastern, Luapula.
Zambia Africa National Congress ( Harry Mwaanga Nkumbula) – 23 Seats ( Southern Province. Western Province)
1972 – General Elections
Cancelled Due to Ethnic Divisions and Tribal Politics.
Zambia became a one party State with UNIP as the only Party.
1973 General Elections ( Second Republic One Party Rule with UNIP as the only Party)
1991 General Elections –
MMD ( All Provinces less Eastern Province)
UNIP ( Eastern Province )
1998 ( Formation of UPND, and back to Politics of Immediate post independent Zambia)
2001 General Elections
UPND ( Southern, Western, North Western)
2006 – 2021 Presidential and General Elections
UPND ( Southern, Western, Northwestern)
In all Elections in Zambia since UPND was formed, Southern, Western and North Western Provinces always vote for the UPND.
That’s the history of Elections in Northern Rhodesia and Zambia. Other Provinces are able to move from party to party regardless of who the Leader of the Party is, but this is not so for some.
Indeed I would be guilty to send a person to jail for making this observation…let alone for some one ‘s brothers to die in a car accident while traveling hundreds of miles to attend to such a case.
You have deliberately left out the fact that from the time PF was formed, Luapula has been voting for PF, including the 2021 elections, does that make them tribal as well?
Liar PF was stronger in Lusaka and Copperbelt since it’s formation than it was in Northern, Eastern and Luapula combined. The three regions were under MMD.
@ Straight forward
Total Lies Sir.
FACT CHECK
PF
2001 – 1 Seat – lupososhi – Luwingu –
3.4 % National Vote
2006 – 43 Seats – Majority – Lusaka / Copperbelt Provinces
2008 – More or Less the same results as of 2006
2011 – More or Less Same results for PF with Strengths in Lusaka and Copperbelt.
Shared performance in Northern Zambia with MMD..
and Slight Gains in Western Province.
Eastern Province – MMD.
It’s a TOTAL LIE that Luapula Province has been voting for the Patriotic Front from Inception. The Patriotic Front has always been a cosmopolitan party.
But Southern Province has been voting for UPND from Inception to date, and will do so in 2026.
And the region has been doing the same from pre – independence, under Harry Mwaanga Nkumbula ‘s NRANC, immediate post independence under the same Nkumbula up to 1972..and again from 1998 when the UPND was formed, from Anderson Mazoka, to Hakainde Hichilema.
This is not hate Speech. It is a Scientific Fact backed by evidence.
Thank you.
Where is Lupososhi? Is it not in the northern block? For your information, do you know that PF has had an MP in Southern province by the name of Lawrence Evans? Do you also know that MMD has had several MPs in southern province? Tell when UPND got it’s first MP in Luapula? The problem with you is that you justify things when it suits you, but condemn others for same thing when it does not suit you.
Indeed those who caused the deaths of Mutale and Mwamba Kambwili know it deep in their Hearts.They can Pretend on the Outside, but the Conscience can’t pretend. Their Souls will forever be in Prison. As Jesus Christ said, ” fear not those who can kill you physically, but fear the one who is able to kill the Body and the Soul” . The Soul of evil will always be in bondage.
Let me vote for my own the way I do, Iam who I am, but don’t vote the way I do for your own , that is Tribalism, and if you talk about the way I vote, that’s hate speech, criminal Hate Speech, and Jail is for you.
Mine should Succeed mine, for that’s who I am… Don’t talk about it, for thats Tribalism Hate Speech, and Jail is for you.
These are the people we are dealing with. Hopeless Hypocrites , the brood of vipers as per Jesus Christ ‘ s Biblical Classification.
And indeed the Jail of Injustice , of the Hopeless Hypocrites, of the brood of vipers is for Hon Chishimba Kambwili because of this!
It has been a very difficult time for you honorable Chishimba Kambwili, both mentally and physically.
May the God of Mwamba Kambwili, the God of Mutale Kambwili, our God , give you the strength for you to pull through. You are remaining with one month in the Prison of Injustice, but God will see you through.
The Hopeless Hypocrite might try an Act of Mercy at the eleventh hour, all for political expediency, but reject his stunts. You have served your time. Next month , with God’s Grace, you will be home.
May the Souls of our Departed brothers, Mutale and Mwamba Kambwili Rest in Peace.
The question is:Is it possible to sue Kambwili for committing the same criminal offence he was jailed for whilst he is still in prison.
Kambwili is showing tribal hatred and ridicule in his writings disguised as an apology
Exactly MuZambian…this man has not reformed. Even after losing his brothers in an ACCIDENT (and those that speak different should speak with facts and keep their snead remarks to themselves. They can deal with the change around them so their come up with their imaginations and imsinuation to prove they exist); Kambwili has no sense of remorse.
The man has lives as uncontrolled fool that was allowed to say and behave badly to the point he thought he was the “law unto homself”. We all have rights, but my rights start and stop where the rights of others start and end.
If we all remembered this we would be considerate of others and coexist. When people fail to understand this, is where people like Kambwili and those that share their incorrigible outlook think they are better than others. The earlier they realise this. The quicker they get off their “high horse” and stop thinking their some kind of gods. Gods dont end up in prison for the period Kambwili has been in prison and tried to run from the law.
You have been convicted and jailed for the law which you as PF established.
The plan was to use the law against your perceived enemies, but is now backfiring on you ba PF.
Do not blame anyone, blame yourselves, especially when you know there was such a law. Unfortunately for the love of money which Lungu gave you, it has resulted in the death of your relatives.
This man needs to be very close to a specialty hospital surrounded by a team of good doctors 24/7. keeping him in prison is actually slowly killing him or his mental well being including his usual agile and analytical mind is demented. Those in the know would agree that the authorities know what they are trying to achieve. They will only free brother man chishimba when he is mentally dead.
Fact Check
Note that Kambwili was actually traveling to hear his appeal a conviction for the same offence when he was involved that fatal road accident.Had he accepted and gone to jail the first time,there would have never been need to. travel
Secondly, note that that was not the first time Kambwili was involved and survived an RTA
Lastly find out from a former State House spokesman what Kambwili did to someone on the Copper 9 with an iron bar before you start rumors about state conspiracy.. .And don’t drop your voters card in a packet of chibuku next time
Just own up Mr Kambwili, what you championed was wrong hence your incarnation, had you not gone that direction probably your brothers could be alive today, and to point at others for their death is also wrong because it started with you saying the wrong things
A stunt tribalist hipo kambwili languishing in prison because of his dwarf brain, instead of telling his head to stop tribalism he want innocent people from a quiet region to forgive him for the sins that can only be forgiven by God who created the tonga people whom he and his minions are everyday disparaging deliberately, kambwili let your pain continue until you come to your senses
How the mighty and arrogant have fallen . Let’s hope other politicians including those currently ruling learn one or two things from this.
I would just say sorry and end there.
Hon. Dr., saying rubbish, that’s typically Zambian, even idiots think they can be president.
