Kabimba, M’membe ‘Gay Affair’ Drags on in Court

Former allies Wynter Kabimba and Fred M’membe have continued their gay fight within the High Court with the former applying to extend the time within which to file his response.

M’membe has dragged Kabimba and Millennium Radio proprietor Patricia Chibiliti to court over the Rainbow Party leader’s pronouncement on radio M’membe and Dr Cosmas Musumali ditched the Rainbow Party project as it did not tolerate homosexual support.

Kabimba said that M’membe and Musumali could not stand him because of his strong anti-gay stance.

M’membe left the Rainbow Party and formed the Socialist Party that he runs alongside his hatchet man Musumali.

The Socialist party leaders are claiming general compensatory damages for defamation of character by Kabimba and Chibiliti.

On April 3, 2018, Wynter Kabimba made a pronouncement on Millennium Radio program that the owners of Socialist Party M’membe and Musumali were being funded by homosexuals and that they broke away from Rainbow Party after he refused to entertain homosexuality and denunciation of Christianity.

In a statement of claim filed at the High court, M’membe and Musumali demanded compensation from Kabimba and Daily Nation owner Richard Sakala on account that such remarks were false and malicious, published in Daily Nation, Mast Newspaper, News Diggers, and that such remarks caused the plaintiff distress and embarrassment.

The High Court has since granted Kabimba the right to file his documents outside time.
