Victory is certain in his realm: Below is the profile posted on the PF website: WYNTER KABIMBA; AN EMBODIMENT OF PRINCIPLES, VALUES THE memory of a smart, albeit tough talking and assertive youthful man, speaking about this or that municipal issue, always will hit you when you wish to talk about the history of Lusaka City Council, at least if you were in Zambia (and old enough) in the 1990s. But perhaps what you would remember the most is the footage of this young smart Zambian telling a whole nation – and defiantly telling off a whole establishment and, behind it, the invisible hand of the president – that he had rejected politically motivated attempts to transfer him from Lusaka City Council to Kitwe City Council, seen by many as a demotion, if you take full account of the difference in status between Lusaka, the capital city and Kitwe, which isn’t even a provincial capital. But for Wynter Kabimba, the most memorable erstwhile Lusaka Town Clerk, it had to be a matter of principle, not rebellion, to disobey a transfer that, according to many Zambians, was being pushed by an entire presidency (of late Frederick Chiluba at the time). This was because the move to transfer Kabimba lacked merit in all facets: whether one looked at it as a moral, legal or political issue or even as an issue of fairness, justice or transparency.
