Tourism Minister and Mandevu PF parliamentary candidate Jean Kapata has urged the police to quickly investigate what she claims is a forged General Certificate of Education from Cambridge in the UK, that UPND presidential running mate Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba has.
Kapata alleges that the certificate was submitted to the Examinations Council of Zambia but was not presented to the Electoral Commission of Zambia.
She says it was surprising how Mwamba managed to obtain an advanced diploma from London in such a short period of time and only weeks before nominations for the general elections in August.
Ng’ande Mwanajiti, a PF Cadre on Wednesday charged that should it be true that the General Certificate of Education presented to the Examinations Council of Zambia belonged to Mwamba who is the UPND presidential running mate, and then Zambia would be in a governance crisis if the authorities were not going to redress the matter.
However, when contacted to comment on the General Certificate of Education bearing the name of Mwamba, Examination Council of Zambia executive director Charles Chilala declined to do so, saying he has not seen the document.
Mwamba, on Thursday June 16, appeared on Radio Phoenix’s special program and dispelled the rumors that he filed in forged papers.
‘”You see, I was very smart, I never presented any papers from Zimbabwe because I know the relationship between Mugabe and President Lungu. They would have gone to fidget with the papers so I only gave them the papers from the UK,” Mwamba said.
Jean nini kapata panyo pa ko stop talking about GBM.
Ms. Kapata please leave GBM alone. Don’t you have any meaningful campaign messages for the voters other than talking about about GBM.
Hon. Jean Kapata, please shut up and stop wasting time. The fact that you were a minister count it lucky and grace of God. Otherwise you are not good material to be a leader who can contribute to propel development in Mandevu Constituency and Zambia in general. Before you question academic and professional credentials for GBM could you do an introspection of your qualifications and what you have contributed to Mandevu Constituency? When the Patriotic Front Party was in opposition each time the late President Macheal Chilufya Sata was in opposition and was confronted and threatened by the regime of former President Rupiah Banda, which member of PF stood by President Sata? I can only think of Chishimba Kambwili and one brave person by the name of GBM.The time for GBM to shine has come and most of the people are proud of him. Also, it is unfair to question GBM‘s credentials now. Your guiles and malicious schemes will not work the will of the people will prevail. If you are morally upright and concerned leader kindly counsel your cadres to stop violence and attacking people perceived with divergent political opinions. You should be concerned with preaching love and peace rather than talking about things you do not understand and cannot substantiate. If you were a genuine leader by this time you should be speaking on behalf of the poor students at the University of Zambia and Copperbelt University who are failing to make ends meet because of meager allowances they are receiving. Speak on behalf of the unemployed masses of young people.
ALSO LET THEM CONCENTRATE ON TAKING ARV THATS SO THESE GUY ARE CRAZY ABT MY ANCLE GBM
You will be discussing GBM mpaka day yaku vota
JEAN! JEAN! JEAN! CONCENTRATE ON ADVANCING YOUR NURSING DIPLOMA
There must be a problem in PF. We were told during verification that over 60 certicates by ECZ that they were forged. The PF, POLICE, UPND, etc no one went to Police and no one arrested. Masumba was in for similar offence. Why GBM is an ISSUE and whre are the 59. please this is wre am confused. Even when i am not supporting GBM, i will be forced to. This man must be powerful am begining to believe.Can we please please mama Kapata verify everyone. please please dont be under his shadow everyday. ha
This issue just keeps going on and on. I think the G12 certificate requirement is a dead one. He presented an Advanced Diploma. If that was not properly obtained then therein lies the problem. But for now, let’s stop talking about G12.
Zambia’s Defence Minister Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba has said he is an example to the World that with moderate education he is a successful businessman.
Mwamba one of the leading business persons in Zambia states that education is not the only key to success but discipline and hard work.
“I have very moderate education but I am today an example to the world that people can still make it in life even with moderate education,” said Mwamba popularly known as GBM during his mother’s memorial on Saturday.
Mwamba who doesn’t have any tertiary education said he has made it in life because of hard work and listening to elders. He paid tribute to his mother whom he said had contributed to his success in business.
He said he was always forced to work hard because the mother kept track his progress and wanted to see him prosper.
“I must say that I owe all what I have today to my mother Grace, who was a very tough woman and always checked on me and because I was scared of her I made sure that I worked very hard,” explained Mwamba.
Mwamba, fourth in the government hierarchy played a major role in helping the Patriotic Front (PF) win elections by financing the opposition party campaigns.2013
