The Bemba Royal Establishment (BRE) has accused President Edgar Lungu and the PF Government of sowing seeds of division in Bembaland.
And Paramount Chief Chitimukulu Kanyanta Manga II has revealed that he stayed away from the N’cwala traditional ceremony of the Ngoni people after learning that the president would grace the event.
He accused President Lungu of continuing his predecessor Michael Sata’s legacy of bringing disunity among the Bemba-speaking people of Northern and Muchinga provinces.
Meanwhile, the Bemba Royal Establishment has appointed Peter Mumbi as chief Mumpolokoso of Mporokoso district.
The Bemba Royal Establishment said the decision to dethrone Albert Mumbi as Chief Mumpolokoso is final adding that his elder brother Peter Mumbi has been appointed to take up the chiefdom.
The decision was arrived at during the Ilamfya Bemba Council meeting held at Chitimukulu’s palace yesterday, attended by Bemba chiefs from Muchinga and Northern Province.
And The Chitimukulu has bemoaned the fact that efforts by the Bemba Royal Establishment to have Albert Mumbi’s recognition as chief Mumporokoso withdrawn by the government has proved futile.
Meanwhile, Sub Chief Chimba who is also Chairman of the Bemba Royal Establishment called for unity among the chiefs in the Bembaland.
Chimba said chiefs should not only be interested in money but should endeavor at all cost to respect and defend the Mwinelubemba.

With due respect going by the numbers it is NOT obvious that Tongas would vote more for a tribesmate than a bemba. Bemba (as in Muchinga and Northern) votes for Tonga presidential candidates (late Mazoka and HH respectively) have been much lower than Tonga votes (as in Southern province votes) for bemba presidential candidates. Stop misleading people. Zambians are not morons. Give the figures to prove your divisive statements. Stop pitting Zambians against each other on the basis of tribe. Go to the south most parts of Southern province (Livingstone) and you will find Menus in restaurants owned by bemba businesses written in bemba and never the other way round. Who is more well coming? Efforts by your kind to divide Zambians on tribe will benefit no one. Prior to 2011 Zambia did not have this ugly thing. It is a PF ugly monster. Sorry to those good people in PF.
True, Tribal Politics Will Only Bring “DIVISION & WAR” Let’s Stop Focusing On The Negatives And Live Positively – But Remember Do Unto Others Before They Do Unto You “One Zambia, One Nation”
A vote is one’s choice and not Bashilubemba’s, maybe in Tonga land where it’s obvious.
‘MATURE’ INDEED!!!!!!!!
Robbish
We tired of this record… by afternoon, some one claiming to be speaking on behalf of the BRE will refute this story. Mark my prophecy!
Childish
Sorry this was meant for Mature
Bashilubemba it’s not only that they want to divide bembas, but they are pitting tribe against tribe in their quest to hold on to power.
Ba Shilubemba, tabangala, balekulibula Lungu, tabafwaya, ukuchusha umwpwa wabo. Tabangala , ichikoti ni vote out PF
Since when did the Bemba RoyaL Establishment start using the initials BRE. We know that to be initials for Barotse Royal Establishment. Please stop confusing citizens. I Hope we wont be questioned over this.
Bemba royal Establishment, Barotse royal establishment, Busoli royal establishment = BRE.
Electoral commission of zambia, examination council of zambia, Evangelical church in zambia, former Environmental council of zambia = ECZ.
