FORMER ZANU PF Central Committee member, Acie Lumumba is this afternoon handing himself to the police.
Fresh from attacking President Robert Mugabe calling using an F’ word last week, Lumumba attracted a flood of controversy last week after he launched his party, VIVA Zimbabwe.
The man’s party told ZimEye.com stating “our Chairman Acie Lumumba will be handing himself in to the ZRP today at 1:45pm at Harare Central Police.
Public opinion swelled against Lumumba after his obscene utterances with many taking exception to his use of vulgar langauge in attacking the head of state, while others did the very opposite, praise him ( ALSO READ Lumumba wins praise.)
The Police wants to questioning him on charges of undermining the President as defined in Section 33 (2) of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act after he insulted President Mugabe on Thursday, has gone into hiding.
He uttered the words while launching his party, Viva Zimbabwe, in Harare on Thursday.
Mr Lumumba pronounced himself as chairman of the party saying that Viva Zimbabwe aimed at bringing change in Zimbabwe.
In rantings, Mr Lumumba used the “F” word to insult the President.
“Mr Mugabe, I guess you have not been really insulted,’ said Mr Lumumba. “You are now used to being insulted by protesters. You are used to being insulted by vendors, you are used to being insulted in the hallways.
“You have never seen Zimbabweans really angry. So, here is the red line. Mr President Robert Gabriel Mugabe f*** you.”
Sources close to the investigations yesterday said they were keen to question Mr Lumumba over the utterances.
“We have been trying to locate him, but failing. His whereabouts are still not known and we have launched a manhunt for him,” said the source.
Mr Lumumba claimed that President Mugabe was responsible for the total collapse of the economy. He said Zanu-PF was responsible for gross mismanagement of funds in Government coffers.
“Where is the $15 billion that just went missing? Right now (Patrick) Chinamasa is looking towards trying to clear a debt of $11 billion in a space of 25 years,” he said.
Mr Lumumba, while addressing a handful of supporters, said Zimbabwe needed new blood to effectively run the country.
He said although he was leader of Viva Zimbabwe he was not going to contest the 2018 Presidential elections. Mr Lumumba said he would support any candidate he considered to be the appropriate for the post.

  1. Whatever Lumumba’s transgressions are in his former affiliations with Zanu PF are irrelevant here. Point of the matter is, he invoked the anger in every sane and patriotic Zimbabwean who is suffering under our current government, which is statistically the majority of Zimbabweans.
    Respect is like money it can be earned and it can be lost depending on how and where you invest it. The vulgarity of Lumumba’s statement is as much relevant as it is a necessity. Ask yourself what freedom really is and in our case, what that freedom has done for us.
    We’re still at war but this time, it’s a unique war. We are grateful for what these senior citizens have done for us during the armed struggle, but that doesn’t mean we are happy. Hanzi kandiro kanopfumba kunobva kamwe, now zvibvunze kuti chii chimwe kunze kwerusununguko Kubva kuvachena chauri kuitirwa nehurumende other than being abused and treated as bottom feeders in a country that you hold equal citizenship as Mugabe himself holds.
    Zimbabweans are peaceful people but as honorable as that sounds we are cowards. We are afraid to speak out our frustrations and afraid to sever the umbilical cord that attaches us to our current economic and political situation. Lumumba chose to grow up, man up and act. Don’t get me wrong I’m not politically affiliated with his party I just like his ideology coz silently, most Zimbabweans are saying F**k you to the president. Imagine what would happen if every frustrated Zimbo would chose action over unfruitfull diplomacy. Surely we would start a revolution. Every citizen is a small part of a big machine that is Zimbabwe. We move Zimbabwe and we can bring it to a stop. The ignition is people like Lumumba and pastor Evan Mawarire who dare to venture into uncharted waters. Our baseless respect and fear is killing our nation and they are the IV. Mwana asingacheme anofira mumbereko, think about it…

  4. Well he has been in the comfort zone for to long, lets hope he won’t need a wheel chair like Chiyangwa b4 he learnt how to keep his zip shut. He will regret the overzealous F word that nobody else has ever used. I guess by this time he is on his knees and clapping hands, ( if they are not yet tied to his back.) Its good when they taste their own medicine in some dark dungeon.
