Former Minister of Tourism and Hospitality Industry, Walter Mzembi, has come to the defense of Jameson Timba, the interim leader of the CCC.
Using his X handle, Mzembi described Timba as a likable individual with excellent organisational skills.
He suggested that these skills might be why the government is targeting him.
Here reads Mzembi’s statement:
“Hon
@JamesonTimba
whom we worked with during our GNU days when he was serving as a Minister of State in the Prime Minister ‘ s office, at some point Deputy Minister of Information or something cannot kill even a fly, if anything he struck me as someone who actually needed rescue from a debilitating habit of chain smoking ..
Despite this he is ofcourse a loveable fellow with excellent organisational skills which may be the case why the Regime despite his evident vulnerability still wants to break him .
#JamesonTimba+CCC78 their further incarceration does not make the Regime any stronger but protrays it as a despotic enterprise that fights the weakest !”
Meanwhile, Timba and 78 activists were arrested on June 16 for holding a political meeting. The activists have been denied bail.
