After playing a pivotal role in helping Emmerson Mnangagwa and his network destabilize Zimbabwe, Nevers Mumba is now seeking divine intervention for Zambia. In a shocking turn of events on August 27, 2023, Mumba admitted to recording a controversial video that undermines the entire SADC election report. His video, which dismisses any critics of the Zimbabwean election process and those questioning Uebert Angel’s involvement in election rigging focused gold smuggling, labels such individuals as “sanctions-criminals.” This means that in Mnangagwa’s eyes, these people can be subjected to imprisonment or even death, all under the guise of combating Western interference.
This notorious video was released in April 2023, following a secret phone call with the disgraced prophet Uebert Angel. It not only defends Mnangagwa’s fraudulent actions but also uses the Zambian flag insignia to disrupt investigations into money laundering linked to Angel. When Mumba was asked to explain why he made such factless comments, which directly contradict the official SADC position, he downplayed the issue, stating, “The two are not connected. SADC has a specific mandate. They don’t deal with any peripheral issues but the conduct of the elections.”
Yet, the reality is that Mumba’s video, scripted by Angel himself between March 31 and April 10, 2023, effectively turns 15 million innocent Zimbabweans into “sanctions-criminals,” justifying state violence, election rigging, and terrorism. These baseless accusations have sparked outrage, as Mumba is seen as a pawn in Mnangagwa and Angel’s illicit schemes, dating back to 1996. His long-standing collaboration with these figures undermines his credibility, especially given the recent GoldMafia investigation, which highlighted the corruption, smuggling, and economic devastation caused by this criminal network, including the notorious Kamlesh Pattni.
When confronted about his role in Mnangagwa’s prophetic mafia, Mumba provided vague responses, failing to acknowledge the damage done. His attempt to separate SADC’s election observation from these broader criminal activities has been seen as a weak defense. Moreover, his refusal to address the fact that the GoldMafia investigation predated Al Jazeera’s existence and was deeply rooted in crimes committed in the 1990s raises questions about his honesty.
Even more disturbing is Mumba’s connection to Uebert Angel, a figure accused of influencing political outcomes and being linked to the deaths of two African presidents, Levy Mwanawasa and Bingu Mutharika. Mumba’s actions have raised concerns about the safety of Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema, who may be vulnerable to manipulation or worse, as Mumba’s close relationship with Angel continues to cast a dark shadow over Zambia’s leadership.
The fundamental question remains: How can Mumba assure the people of Zambia, Zimbabwe, and SADC that he will not again be swayed by dubious influences that threaten the stability of entire nations? His recorded video, filled with endorsements for Uebert Angel and echoes of dangerous rhetoric, suggests that his actions are
