FORMER president Frederick Chiluba yesterday revealed that he went to Wusakile mine township a few weeks ago as a spy.
And Living Waters Global Ministries bishop Bernard Nwaka has said Chiluba has a heart for Zambia and that is why he ensured that most people were empowered with houses when he was president.
During a church service at Living Water Global Ministries in Kitwe yesterday, Chiluba said he did not go to Kitwe in his own power.
“On June 5, I came to Wusakile to check on the devastation in the sanitary facility. I also went to Natwange. I did not come in my own power but as a spy and I spied very well because when I came, people told me that there was no electricity at the time but I have learnt that somehow, somehow, electricity has been restored,” Chiluba said.
Several Wusakile residents gave Chiluba a hostile reception while others insulted him recently when he inspected Wusakile communal toilets and Kitwe’s Mindolo-Miseshe area.
And Chiluba said he was not afraid of the devil or his cohorts hence he was able to go to places where others feared he might be harmed.
Chiluba said he could not let foxes get into the work of the Lord.
“How can I be afraid of the devil or his cohorts? We are crowned as kings and queens and that is why even when people say ‘awe ba Chiluba mwiyako uko kuti bamicita ifyo’ Mr Chiluba do not go to such a place because you may be harmed I go because I can’t allow the devil to interrupt the work of the Lord,” he said.
Chiluba told the congregants that the devil was under their feet and they needed to know that they possessed all the authority and power to defeat him.
He said people should know that those aspiring to be leaders but talked from sunrise to sunset were not fit for the position.
“If someone wants to be a leader and he talks from morning to evening ninshi ciwelewele he is visionless.
Imfumu tailanda landa ngamwamona yalalandalanda, ninshi kuli mabvuto Kings/leaders do not talk anyhow. If they do, then you know that there is a problem,” he said.
Chiluba said God installed and removed kings.
He urged the congregants not to look at God as a distant figure but to personalise and be intimate with Him.
Chiluba said those that truly knew the Lord were not ashamed of mentioning His name at any place.
And Bishop Nwaka said many people owned houses because of Chiluba’s love for the nation.
He said people easily forgot good things and focused on the bad.
Bishop Nwaka said he felt honoured and privileged to have Chiluba at his church.
Chiluba is believed to be in Kitwe for a birthday party for a bishop.

Our nation is like sheep without a shepherd, says Bishop Nwaka

LIVING Waters Global Ministries Bishop Bernard Nwaka of Kitwe has said Zambia has selfish and greedy leaders who have no heart and compassion for the people.
Preaching at a prophetic summit in Ndola at Broadway Cinema last Thursday, Bishop Nwaka said currently Zambia was like a sheep without a shepherd because the leaders have no heart for the people.
“The selfishness, the greediness of our hands, our nation is like sheep without a shepherd, we have leaders who have no heart and compassion, may God raise leaders who will have compassion and the heart for the people, that is my prayer,” he said.
“Zambia has been mining copper for a long time now and what do we have to show for it? I want any politician if he is around to stand because I know that in such meetings there are good friends from the Office of the President, don’t write what I am saying, buy the whole tape and take it to your bosses, what is there to show for in Zambia from all the blessings we have been given? I can’t take it any more.”
Bishop Nwaka said Zambia had vast land with good minerals but the land was only responding to foreigners.
He said Zambians do not enjoy what they produce in their own land because everything was going to foreigners.
“To me it appears that the land has been responding for lack of a better word to foreigners.We are only tools of production. We don’t enjoy what we produce, we don’t own what we produce or work for, we talk about good copper prizes, we can talk about good copper production but to me it appears the land is responding to foreigners. Why? Because it is not empowering the citizens,” he said.
“Africa is not empowering the Africans, so what is happening with us is hand to mouth policy which we have as long as we can be employed, as long as we can get a wage or a salary at the end of the month, we seem to be satisfied with that and the wealth is not responding to us, you look at our lives, we have been independent for many years, we have nothing to show for but the wealth that has come out of Africa, out of Zambia, where has it gone to? It has gone to other nations.”
He said Africans and Zambians in particular had been reduced to servants only fitting to be employed and not to own anything in their own land and continent.
Bishop Nwaka said many people had misunderstood Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe but said he understood him and his principles were correct.
“I have not misunderstood him, I just don’t agree with the methodology of doing things, but the principle is correct, right now he is pushing for all the companies in Zimbabwe to have 51 per cent shares to be owned by the government, this was supposed to be pushed by the church,” he said.
“You know our first president Dr Kenneth Kunda that was his policy, 51 per cent shares to be owned by the government. And if we say privatisation, does it mean brining in foreigners, privatisation means that the government not doing business but the private companies doing it, does it mean that Zambians cant do that?”
He said it is not acceptable for Zambians to be reduced to workers who only get bad salaries at the end of the month in their own country.
Bishop Nwaka said some foreign investors come without money and only borrow from local banks.
