In one breath, billionaire journalist Faith Musonda wants the Economic and Financial Crimes Court to cleanse her questionable property yet in another she’s denying ownership of the Kingsland City Mansion.

Musonda claims the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has deliberately failed to tabulate her earnings from her sources of income with a motive to justify its suspicions that her property is tainted.

In this matter, the Anti-graft body wants the Court to forfeit her house in Kingsland City, a farm in Chisamba, business premises, Money in her Bank accounts and farm machinery on reasons that they were illegally obtained.ACC has cited Faith Musonda and her companies Sela Property Investments Limited, Convenant Broadcasting Company ,Life Television Limited as interested parties in the matter.

October 2021, Musonda was granted immunity from prosecution by the ACC after she gave up her luxurious house in New Kasama, some dollars and K65 million which she could not account for.

However, the ACC feels to have been ‘dribbled’ in the bargain as it argues that Musonda did not make a full and frank disclosure of the illegal properties hence the EFCC should grab what she is left with.

The properties that have been seized and earmarked for forfeiture are ; Plot no. LUSAK/LN_24982/3 in Kingsland City, plot no. F/1504/A in Chisamba, plot no. F/378a/11 in Ibex Hill, Bank of Zambia Government bonds issue no.01/2021/BA, Treasury bills issue no.11/2021TBs, Madison Finance Fixed term deposits unit no. 1140446 and assorted jewels.

Others are a Tafe tractor 7515 75HP-unregistered, plough disc BD mounted AF3, Harrow Disc BD GHO-R mounted 16, planter BD PLB-4 mounted row, sprayer Boom Jacto(M) condor M12, Trailer 5TN steel deck and a Toyota Allion registration no.72M.

But in an affidavit in opposition to affidavit in support of originating notice of motion, Musonda said she initiated a transaction for the acquisition of a house in Kingsland City but the transaction was not formalised due to financial constraints.

She said ownership of the property is still in the seller’s name as it was not completed.

“The process to cancel the transaction is indicative of the fact that I failed to fulfill the requirements for completing the purchase. Therefore, the assertion that I purchased the property at US$180, 000 is erroneous and misleading,” Musonda explained.

She claimed the allegations are aimed at inflating the value of her assets in an attempt to cast doubt on the legitimacy of her personal income.

Musonda said her financial standing is in line with her lawful earnings.

The journalist said she does not have properties registered under her friend’s name Chimuka and and businessman Miyanda Milambo.

She said the payments she intended to make for the purchase of property in Kingsland City were to be made in installments.

Musonda wondered how the monies she earned in her 24-years of practice as a journalist could be perceived illegitimate based on superficial investigation.

She said the omission of her sources of income is aimed at justifying the suspicion that the wealth is tainted.


“These include rental proceeds from a property I own in Salama Park and various incomes derived from my professional engagements notable appointments include positions at SABC, Tsogo Sun Group of Hotels (Southern Sun) in Pretoria. I assumed senior management roles on prominent local institutions serving as head of Channel for ZNBC TV 2 and holding a position within the Director Genral’s office at ZDA where I received gratuities and other payments in form of allowances,” Musonda explained.

“As a communications expert with 24 years of experience, I have successfully operated my commercial television production companies from its inception. I acquired government bonds and Treasury bills through an account with the Bank of Zambia (BOZ), utilizing funds obtained from the sale of one of my Properties.”

She said the calculations made by the Commission represents the accrued value of the investments and rather than the initial amount she paid for the Government Bonds and the Treasury Bills.

Musonda charged that assertions regarding her source of wealth are baseless in establishing grounds for forfeiture and lacks merit.

“The attempt to attribute suspicion of proceeds of crime to assets that have been lawfully acquired and are properly accounted for is unjustified. This constitutes a fit and proper case for this Court to conclude that the properties in question were legitimately acquired,” said Musonda.

“The comprehensive evidence provided by the first interested party effectively refutes any suggestion of impropriety or unlawful activity surrounding the acquisition of these assets.”

Orthodox Christianity: A Rich Tapestry of History, Faith, and Cultural Intersections – Reno Omokri

Published

on

This is my daughter, Ebele, at church today. Notice that she is covered from head to toe. What she has on her head is a Netela. What Muslims call a Hijab. This is how Orthodox Christian women have attended religious service for two thousand years. It is an abomination to them for a woman to enter the Temple without covering her hair. And it is supported by the early Christians in 1 Corinthians 11:5.

If you take the pure and undefiled practices of Orthodox Christianity and compare them to the Christendom that came from Europe, you will have little similarities. Orthodox Christianity has more in common with Islam than with European Christendom, whether it be Catholicism, Anglicanism, Methodism or any other isms.

As a matter of fact, Islam as a religion thrived because the Abyssinian Orthodox Christians gave the very first Muslims asylum when the Quraysh of Mecca wanted to kill them. Abyssinia, or Habesha, is the old name for Ethiopia.

It may surprise you that for centuries, Ethiopia or Abyssinia was the dominant world superpower. They militarily protected Israel. You see that in 2 Kings 19:9. Also, the kings of Israel customarily had a spiritual counsellor from Ethiopia. You see that in Jeremiah 38:7. It was the Ethiopian adviser to King Zedekiah, named Ebed Melech (an Ethiopian name used till today) that saved Jeremiah from death.

Prophet Muhammad’s (SAW) nurse and nanny, Umm Ayman, was an Ethiopian. She was present on the day the prophet of Islam was born and on the day he died. She was one of the first converts to Islam.

Ruqayyah, the daughter of prophet Muhammad (SAW), lived in Ethiopia for ten years with her husband, Uthman, the third Caliph of Islam.

Some ask me why I use the honorific when referring to the prophet of Islam. To me, that question is moot. I am not a Muslim. However, it is not a sin in the sight of God or man to wish good for anybody, living or dead. As long as Muslims honour my faith, I will honour theirs. And we can agree to disagree without being disagreeable with each other.

My guide is Romans 12:18:

“As far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.”

Men and women enter an Orthodox Church from different entrances and do not mingle within the building. They sit in separate places. And they do not set aside Sundays for worship services. Every day is a service day.

Before you argue, they have the world’s oldest complete and illustrated New Testament. If you take your King James Version or any other European version and look at the footnotes, when they have interpretation issues, they will resolve it by saying, ‘The Ethiopic Scriptures say…’ The oldest complete and illustrated Christian Scriptures on Earth are the Garima Gospels. Look it up. If this is false, I vow to pay the first person to disprove me $10,000.

There were likely books older than the Garima Gospels, but the Italians destroyed probably a million books and killed over ten thousand Orthodox priests when they invaded Ethiopia in 1935. So, we may never know.

Orthodox Christianity frowns on prosperity teachings and instead teaches contentment. If you want to use money to win an Orthodox Christian girl, you are wasting your time. They do not place the same value on materialistic things as you do. But if you are prepared to follow their faith genuinely, they can marry you, even if you are a pauper.

Their faith guides them in everything. How, when, and what to eat. How, when and where to do even quotidian things such as going to the toilet. They may not fight you for economic reasons, but they are willing to fight and die for religion. Their faith is the foundation and zenith of their lives. All other things are downhill.

And whereas Christendom came from Europe to Africa, Orthodox Christianity started from Ethiopia and Armenia and spread to Europe. A Russian and Greek Orthodox person is actually closer to Ethiopia than to their fellow Europeans. That is why Ethiopia is the only African country never to be colonised. Because when Christendom Europe invaded them, Orthodox Europe supported them with weapons, money and soldiers.
