Chama Chakomboka
Mushota Chama Chakomboka († 2000 ) was a politician in Zambia .
Chama Chakomboka is an entrepreneur by profession. Kenneth Kaunda had him arrested in July 1981, after the second major strike in Zambia's economically important copper and cobalt industry within six months, along with the four union leaders, Frederick Chiluba , Newstead Zimba , Chitala Sampa and Timothy Walambna, on suspicion of an attempted coup. This group later formed the core of the Movement for Multiparty Democracy , which won the 1991 election in Zambia and thus finally put an end to the one-party rule of UNIP .
Chama Chakomboka resigned from the MMD in 1991 and in the 1996 election in Zambia for the Movement for Democratic Process as a presidential candidate and received 3.29 percent of the vote. He then resigned as chairman of that party. On October 19, 2000, he was reported as "blessed" in a press report. On November 4, 2005 he received posthumous compensation of K 40 million.
