POLITICAL analysts have exposed Zambian pastor-cum-politician Nevers Mumba, saying his rantings in the guise of observer findings exposed his funders regime change agenda.
Utterances by Zambian Cleric and opposition political player Dr Nevers Mumba who is representing the SADC Observer Mission this Friday have raised eyebrows among political commentators across the region as it deviated from observers’ mandate.
It brought questions on who Nevers Mumba is as aptly explained by academic and political analyst Dr Augustine Tirivangana, “He is the president of multi-party democracy in Zambia equivalent of MDC, we talking about politicians having a long way in being used as a puppet, his comments focus on something else other than the election except the last part. He stands for regime change not for Zimbabwe.”
The eligibility of Mumba to lead the SADC Electoral Observer Mission was brought into question a day before Zimbabwe’s General Election after his party sent a red alert to the regional body over his suitability.
The letter cited that Mumba has out lived his five-year constitutional term and has been operating in contravention of statutes.
Other political commentators regarded Mumba as a decorated puppet who is only acting on instructions.
“He has been part of a coalition that is there to push regime change alongside Musi Maimane of South Africa with the likes of Morgan Tsvangirai, and one from Mozambique, he is unwelcome in his country and has a long history,” said Political Analyst, Takudzwa Gambiza.
“It is sad that one of political misfits in the region comes here and disregard our laws passed by elected legislators,” noted Academic and Political Analyst Dr Bekezela Tirivangana.
Dr Nevers Mumba is currently battling legitimacy in his party and his history of working with CCC leader Advocate Nelson Chamisa has further thrown his impartiality into doubt.
