REGAE musician Maiko Zulu arrives for sentencing for drug possession at the Lusaka magistrate Court
REGAE musician Maiko Zulu arrives for sentencing for drug possession at the Lusaka magistrate Court

The Lusaka Magistrates Court has sentenced prominent musician Maiko Zulu, formerly known as St Michael, to six months imprisonment with hard labour, suspended for one year on one charge of trafficking in five balls of cannabis weighing 17 grammes.

Passing sentence on Zulu, 39, of house No. 15, Libala Stage 2 in a packed courtroom yesterday, Magistrate David Simusamba said Zulu, while serving his sentence, should not engage in any offence related to drug trafficking, failure to which he would be slapped with a custodian sentence.

“I have considered facts in mitigation and it is apparent that the offender is a house-hold name and a chief breadwinner of both his family and extended family.

“I will, therefore, impose a jail sentence on you, Maiko Zulu, of six months with hard labour and a suspended sentence of 12 months in which you will be required to visit 10 high schools in Lusaka, perform at Government functions and public holidays for free,” he said.

The magistrate said Zulu, in his community work, would be required to visit 10 high schools in Lusaka Province to speak about the dangers of drug abuse.

Mr Simusamba said Zulu deserved lenience because he was a first offender and an icon in championing child labour issues in communities.

Facts before the court were that on February 3, 2009, Zulu did traffic in psychotropic substances namely marijuana contrary to the laws of Zambia.

The sentence means Zulu would serve the 12-month sentence outside prison but should not commit a similar offence within the stipulated time.

In mitigation, Zulu through his lawyer, Sugzo Dzekedzeke, said he prayed that the court did not give him custodial sentence because he had not wasted the court’s time and taxpayers’ money by admitting the charge without delay.

Zulu said if the court meted out custodial sentence on him, his dependants would suffer because he was not just the chief breadwinner of his household but also of his extended family, which included his mother and eight children from his deceased siblings.

He said he had two school-going children who would suffer if he was sent to province.

Zulu said he was International Labour Organisation (ILO) ambassador against child labour and also an ambassador of the courts of law through his day-to-day activities.

He said he was also coordinating a programme on behalf of ILO meant for creation of employment for youths in the country.

Zulu said should a custodial sentence be slapped on him, the ILO programmes would be affected.

He said he was also the coordinator of a football team in his community that sought to identify talent and prevent youths from engaging in dangerous activities.

Local musicians that attended Zulu’s judgment included Angela Nyirenda, Saboi Imboela, Danny Peddle, Mozegeta, Mathew Tembo, James Chamanyazi and Moses Sakala.

Comedian Bob Nkoshya was also present.

  3. I thought he was just using the marijuana for personal use and not trafficking. If he was trafficking, then it is quite a lenient sentence. If it was for personal use, then its pretty harsh.

  10. And wen are charging him for the Illegal firearms tht was found wth him alongside the Cannabis? Ibange St Michael ifyakuifwaila.Remove tht St from yo name and replace it wth Fluffy.

    . Mrs =;=;for 2011

  11. Babylon yu can’t stop mi from building the spliff.MO fire!. %%-%%-%%-%%-%%-%%-%%-%%-%%-%%-%%-%%-%%-%%-%%-%%-%%-%%-%%-%%-%%-%%-%%-%%-%%-%%-%%-%%-%%-%%-%%-%%-

  12. Maiko, don’t go round being a bad influence on our children. Rastafarianism is not about smoking ganja. Its about promoting equality amongst all human beings of whatever race, colour, creed, religion, culture etc. You are an icon who should lead by example. Its not too late man, you can still redeem yourself. Every man is bound to fall, but what is important is not to remain on the ground, but raise and contribute positively to society.
    Jah Guide.

  15. This judge should be serious. what is traficking and being in possesion of.if it is traficking why 17grams or did he mean KGs
    its either the reporter boobed or the judge erred

  16. Hmm that was too quick.Thanx to the law inforcement.I hope all other cases were handled in a same quick manner.I love Micheal Zulu and i pray that he leaves the prison so quick to continue WITH his good works in the society.On the other hand i have just seen how smart the jury is.So they know that someone has to stand up and perform on stage to preach against vices;
    I should think we need more support after his charge since we have skuz not only in Lusaka.Thats a sign that ba DECEMBER need to own a band.”Jah man.Rastas never die” Mount Zion lives,peace an’ peace.Be strong man.We are proud of you.U answered once and without fear.It shows you apologized and did not wanna waste tax payers money

  17. Zoe dont comment on issues u dont know. the word saint does not mean righteous people. it was used by Paul to the corinthians who were immoral in all they did. it is the other name for sinners saved. look St Micheal in biblical terms has done no wrong because bang was used by even Jacob’s wives. its only the current zambian laws that prohibit. it is just like alchol no where does the bible say dont drink but it just gives advice on how to take it. these bang sins are govy formulated not biblical.

  19. Forgot one piece of advise to Maiko. Please from now onwards, be yourself, don’t imitate Bob Marley by trying to talk, sing and behaving like him. No two individuals can be the same. Sing songs in your local language and local pipo willl appreciate you.
    Be real like Mozegata, Wille even your wife Sista D.

  21. personally am not a bang fellow neither do i drink not because the bible forbids but its just a choice. its nothing to do with my salvation or reputation. as a trained and qualified theologian in original languages i would say lets be careful to distinguish human laws from divine laws. Even Zoe is worse than St Micheal. i know because he is only one thing sinner. his brain is contaminated. not by what he takes But Jesus says its not wat goes in but what comes out. so bang goes in. but wat comes from the brain whether bang or not is sin all the time. we have heard and seen Zoe and his friends playing in mind with evil stuff but they pretend. St Micheal Saved By Grace

  25. it depends with hoe the law is over that matter, pipo should be told on drag trafficing. what happens to those who use it for smoking. is it an offence?

  26. LT…………..!!!!!??
    “He said he had two school-going children who would suffer if he was sent to province.” which province??

  27. Batata ba King Cobra,the topic at hand is “Maiko Zulu sentenced” not castigating Zoe.For yo own information am not a man but a woman.Who dnt knw who zoe is so if u knw wats gud 4u keep away from that name (Zoe). U r equally frustrated in life,i dnt blame miserable 3:-o dung.

  28. #22
    6 months sentence with hard labour but suspended for 1 year means, he is free and will not go to jail at all…but, should he be found with dobo within 1 year..he goes in automatically, for a longer period, which cannot be suspended.

  29. Iam very dissapointed with this man.I thought he had changed kanshi.Please those of you guys who smoke ganja,don’t be hypocrites just come out openly.I’n’I dont blame real jahmen coz dem are beta dan us who don’t.

    Viva %%-%%-

  32. mmmmmwe! Is it 17 gms or 17kgs. It doesnt make sense kwena. Three ball of ganja becomes traffciking, well its rules of nations. My brother could have been in possesion of that stuff for his use. but honestly how many people have this fwaka in their back yards in the country? The sentence ati performing for free. So if they couaght prostitute trafficking humans, it would be perfoming for free te??????? 17 grams is nothing please. 3 bags of ganja in RSA airways cabin is something.

  34. Perform for free? :o:o:o:o how is he going to perform properly without his drugs :o:o:o

    Please show the guy some love and allow him to carry at least 2 grams. Then the performance will be great!!

    Some politicians even smoke ichamba and no one talks about it!! 😕

  35. Misuse of our meagre law enforcement resources on trivial issues. There are more deserving crimes than a guy like this who didn’t even hurt anyone. Go for real trafickers. This guy is just a user just like many others including some Judges.

  36. Jam@co which province is saint maiko oing to? “He said he had two school-going children who would suffer if he was sent to province.”

  38. How many times have we talked about Dobo on this site? Just legalize the stuff. Dobo, if taken in small quanties, is good for the body. I believe Maiko Zulu was puffing it. Puff, puff, pass…..

  42. People he is not going to prison!!!
    Seems many people have not read the article above going by their comments. Never comment on something before you comprehend it fully. Lets learn to read before adding our comments. The issue is; he is not going in Prison!!!

  43. The magistrate missed out one point. This man needed to be rehabilitated before going round schools & performing at public functions. Who is going to listen to a man who will probably be jayed.

    Dagga smoking is highly addictive. Maiko admitted the “dobo” was for his consumption. The process of stopping the intake is gradual & therefore, he needs serious counselling before doing the community work. The magistrate court should reconsider the decision they made.

  45. More fire Mike, chant on bablyon ,Jah rastafarai l dont know why poeple want to critise him he was just taking what has been given to him by Jah the Almighty herb

  46. Is it true guys that when Frank Mutubila asked Sata on one of the interviews whether it was true he “smokes weed”, then Sata asked him back whether it was true he “has AIDS”???? or is it just :-@

  48. I passed my Grade 9 because of %%-%%-

    Now the Govt has abolished cut off point system for grade 9 exams!! 😕

    =d>=d>=d>=d>=d>=d>

  50. “All the Ganja smokers put your light up” :d

    MK hope you do not shout out like that when performing on government functions!! :d

    They will send you to southern province =))=))=))=))

  62. Jam@co

    I have no problem with the pipo who some( of Course Proper Rasta men) Not these fake ones cikulu apepa ati ninshi ni Jahman :o:o:o:o

  64. In Zimbabwe they have a region (near Zambian boarder)where dobo smoking is regarded as part of the tradition of the local people. They get hordes of tourists there (similar idea to Amsterdam with its ganja smoking pubs). The result in Zim has been plenty of development for the locals originally regarded as backward, proper control of the use/quality of the stuff & ofcourse government gets taxes. It is a win-win situation but unfortunately we just want to condemn.

  65. #49 Baby C,

    Last time (on this site) you asked me whether Dobo was good for hair. I did not take you serious. I should now be asking you that question, is Dobo good for hair? Please share some experience, cheers…..

  67. How ironic that this chap is, on one hand, busy championing the welfare of kids and on the other he is busy smoking the stuff? What kind of role model is he? Just choose one thing and stop lying to yourself! Hopefully, the kids will learn something positive from this incident. What a role model!

  68. King Cobra # 21 out of interest where in the bible does it forbid drinking, or are we reading different bibles? 😕

  71. Kyan wait fi get de fire!!

    Wi gonna get de Gideon boot and marsh dem up!!!

    Selasie fi watch and burn dem… Doom to Babylon…

    SHhh SHhhh SHHHH SSSSSHHHHHHDUUUU… Dis black rose so strong

    Sensimina help mi brain fi meditate and my religion…

    Burn it!!! More Fire!!! SSSSSSHHHHHHHHHDDDDDUUUUUU!!!!

  72. Better utilize all natural resource.
    Legalize the herb.It’s the healing of the nation.It cures cancer,dracoma,asthma,rasma….It does a countless many good things.Right now I’m on my way to smoke na ma guyz.Jah bless yu all.

  73. #69 Baby C,

    :)):)):)):)):)):)):)):)) I do not know what to say. I am sorry if you have to take your hair for ‘rehab’like pointed out by Kadoyo (#66). You have made my day..

  80. pipo ukulandalanda bushe nimwe ba maiko nagula ba judge, why cant you jst watch, wait and see. bambi namukumwa mulefwaya ukucitako He accepted the case so it is pretty ok mwaumfwa.

  81. Huh, thought he stopped this illegal stuff after Nasty D wa arrested.

    Matworld, sorry i went idle, you can chat to me on google talk now!

  82. A Rasta Man with a bag full of Chamba went into a bank and asked a cashier that he wanted to opwn a JOINT ACCount.

    RASTA MAN : Me come to open a JOInt account,
    Cashier: How much do you have
    RASTA MAN: I have it all ere in me bag.Opens the bag full of chamba.

  83. Thats it. Now Maiko is a real RASTA( Righteous African Stands Tall Alone Forever) a fully baked one. Next time dont keep it just smoke it. Its not an offence when it is running in your veins, making you feel abit irie. If you decide to keep it let it be in small quantities atleast one ball. Zambian law is funny more 3 or so balls is Trafficking, less is Possession. Read the penal Code it will assist you.

  86. #64 Nkosi, you are one of a handful that always make sound contributions on this blog and it does make a big difference when reading through the postings. Apparently, smoking the stuff in moderation does not do much harm to one’s body, but the problem is “moderation” is subjective. I think this is the reason why many govts the world-over have specific laws regarding this substance. The case you have highlighted is one way in which a positive outcome can be achieved in using this substance. I also note that you said a “50/50” situation is arrived at.

  88. KING COBRA,
    You are talking sense and your comments are very mature.

    To Maiko Zulu, my advise is that, you should not opt for fast money-kind of life. Be content with what you have. I am glad a custodian sentence was not slapped on you.

  89. This %%- story has interested many. Is it because many experienced the joint in their life or there’re some bloggers who’re still hammering this %%-%%-%%-

  94. 90. Mwisho

    hallo ba Mwisho!!

    who was playing with your names mwebantu yesterday?

    I was confused!! Am not even sure if it is you the real ba Mwisho!!
    So nomba I want details!!

  97. one big and a small guy were busy enjoying themselves with one joint. each time the big man passed the joint, he would say, ‘mwaice, ka dobo aka.’ the small guy when passing it would say, ‘ba mudala ka dobo aka.’ that went for a few minutes until the small guy said, ‘ba dobo, ka mudala aka.’

  98. dobo,porno,prostitution these issues have been on LT in the past 3 weeks. they make very interesting reading and LT bloggers love these stories

  104. “He said he was also the cordinator of a football team in his community that sought to identify talent and prevent youths from enganging in dangerous activities.”

    I wonder what the term dangerous activities means to Maiko Zulu. The last time i checked, dagga smoking was one of them! Correct me if I am wrong.

  108. :o:o:o:o:o I hope he will not quit da music like one Nastty D,Elo batata ba Ngoma babekete ne bange.balisaleka ne filimba:o:o:o:o:o:o
    Anyway I and I ve a lot of da respect for Maiko Zulu.Mulefisa ibange buya,naimwe.Zeed is not Jomeka,they will chop of da dread Rasta:o:o:o:o

  109. (Assume you are a girl if you are a boy)

    It’s your first time.

    As you lie back, your muscles tighten.

    You put him off for a while

    searching for an excuse,

    but he refuses to

    be swayed as he approaches you.

    He asks if you’re afraid

    and you

    shake your head bravely.

    He has had more experience, but it’s the first

    time his finger has found the right place.

    He probes deeply and you shiver;

    your body tenses

    but he’s gentle like he promised he’d be.

    He looks deeply within your eyes

    and tells you to trust him

    he’s done this many times before.

    His cool smile relaxes you

    and you

    open wider

    to give hi

  115. I get the feeling that Maiko Zulu did not have adequate legal representation. The cannibis found in his possession was not adequate to incur a charge of drug trafficking as there would be no economic justification for him to do so. The reason he pleaded guilty was because he wanted to be treated as a first offender who did not waste the court’s time. However, I feel this has cost him dearly as he ended up to confessing to a more serious crime than that which he actually committed….Hold on a moment. I’ve just noticed that the caption under the photo mentions possession rather than trafficking. It would be helpful if the article was clear as possession and trafficking are not the same.

  116. Ba Dobo #97 you remind me of a certain Jahman who used stay at last floor of a 17 storey flat.Each time he finished smoking the joint he would throw the remains thru the window and then dive onto the bed.One day he smoked a fresh one after finishing instead of doing the usual, he did the opposite. He threw the remains on the bed and dived thru the window. :((:d

  119. It was just an accident that he was caught with such a contraband. How about FTJ and his weed smoking antics, when are they visiting him as well? For him, it is a question of dem arrivng with a sniffer dog and it will direct them where the contraband is kept as he consumes it like there is no Regina.

  121. JOKE CONT…

    His cool smile relaxes you

    and you

    open wider

    to give him more room for an easy entrance.

    You begin to plead and beg him to hurry,

    but he slowly takes his time,

    wanting to cause you as little pain as possible.

    As he presses closer,

    going deeper,

    you feel the tissue give way;

    pain surges throughout your body

    and you

    feel the slight trickle of blood as he continues.

    He looks at you concerned

    and asks you if it’s too painful.

    Your eyes are filled with tears

    but you shake your head and nod for him to go on.

    He begins going in and out with skill

    but you are now too numb to feel him within yo

  122. This case has been disposed off so quickly, this is really strange and I suppose there is more to this case than what has been shown to the public. Well hope the law is taking its genuine course this time around. Mean while babylon will keep burning the fire! One love Miko.

  123. The main issue is two fire arms.WHY IS THE COURT SO QUIET ON POSSESION OF FIRE ARMS.THATS WHY LEVY’S DEATH IS INDEED A GREAT LOSS TO THIS NATION

  124. within you.

    After a few moments, you feel

    something bursting within you

    and he pulls it out of you.

    You lay panting, glad to have it over.

    He looks at you

    and smiling warmly,

    tells you, with a chuckle that you have been

    his most

    stubborn

    yet most rewarding experience.

    You smile and thank your dentist.

    After all,it was your first time to have a tooth

    pulled.

    Naughty, Naughty!

    What were you thinkin’ ?

  127. #125,
    Spring rooster, you think am intoxicated with dagga? NO. I am not as intoxicated as you think I am.

    Am finally gone,,,,til tomorrow :-h:-h:-h

  128. Mbanje or is it dobo! Anyway, great stuff by those who carried out the sentencing of Maiko Zulu.

    On “In mitigation, Zulu through his lawyer, Sugzo Dzekedzeke, said he prayed that the court did not give him custodial sentence because he had not wasted the court’s time and taxpayers’ money by admitting the charge without delay”, I like this spirit by Mr M. Zulu of confessing without wasting time for himself and the courts of law.

    I hope many more will take a leaf from him in conducting themselves in their court trials.

  129. Bushe 5 Balls eyakukakilapo umuntu ?
    Nothing has been mentioned of the illegal possession of weapons ?

    Angela Nyirenda and Moses Sakala ?

  130. Bemba News Today….” kapepa we bange mukalamba mu Zambia Maiko Zulu uwiminina kapepa mukalamba webange wa chalo chonse Bob Marley nabamukaka pamulandu wakusangwa ne bange mwitoloshi… !”

  133. This will not stop me and St. Micheal from Smoking GANJA because we harm no one.Will do this in isolation ONCE A RASTA ALWAYS A RASTA!Even the school tours will just be rhetoric.The act of smoking will be done in the hills of CHONGWE district where DEC officers cannot find us because they will be scared of the MONKEYS and WILD ANIMALS.

    MOZEGETA ALSO SMOKES!

  139. To all bloggers, i know Lt is dying to put me on their moderation list, so in case you dont see me tomorrow just know, you are always in my thoughts! I love you all!
    :o):x@};-:*@};-

  140. Our prophet Peter Tosh once said:

    “it is totally illegal for me not to smoke herb and totally unlawful
    and ungodly coz it is against my religion, herb is for the use of man for medical, spiritual”

    Too bad fi di rasta. Dem a humiliate and incrimate and victimise de rasta! Maiko go fi meditate!

    That was just dust! Mi nuhh stop fi burn dem black roses!

    Selasie fi gwan to burn babylon and will have no water fi putting out di fire! ANGONI NI MWAMBO NIBANI OSAZIBA?

  142. Stup!d black authority is what this is. White ppl tell them marijuana is some illicit drug which is bad- they listen. Marijuana is even better than alcohol. I burn it as well and I’m a medical doctor (a respected member of the community I like to think). And guess what- I have a few older colleagues who smoke it as well- I am talking heads of hospital depts here. Being a US born “Zambian” from Zambian parents I feel sad to read that “THE MAN” is in charge everywhere. I have visited Zambia twice in my life and love it and hope to settle there when older. Chase those crazy politicians away- I see how they mess up my country. One love!!! (Best believe I just burn one joint down!)

  147. 17gms trafficking? the judge himself must have been pretty jayed.
    brother MAIKO mo fire. dont let babylon dreak you. Maiko is a great guy and great influence on many like me. i have shared spliff with him enough times to know he is a very positive brother doig more good in communities around him. whats 17gms mr judge, get over yourself.
    perform for free for the rich and famous? for the greesy corupt rats.? nice one

  148. :d how do u trafiic 17grams,imwee how heavy is 17 gramuzi :-?tis 17gram:o whoever took ths case to court was wasting tax payers money..anyandulle find real cases=))

  149. fi di burn un herb rasta man kynt think beeta but fi di ganja lights den em black man ve di light more fire .swing e light on black herb

  150. Maiko Zulu’s case remindes me of one Nasty D, also a musician. ba December DEC nabbed him and that was the turning point. he quite music and went to CBU to persue a course. Ha sometimes bad things when they happen can be a turning point in your life. Hope maiko pulls through. I’m just wondering how other poor people not looked at same way(suspended sentence) when found with one ball of cannabis, they end up in jail!!! Eaeish!

  152. Zoe ati bwanji. u say we undereductaed but u still go to sukulu…awe the world is nice. its like grade one asusha grade 12 school leaver ati he just stays pa house me am educated and not undereduucated. so Zoe ndiwe mwamuna osakana

  154. People of Zambeziland, Bushe ni 17grammes ya %%- bakakilepo Maiko or there is something more to this, 5 x 3.4g each ball.

    Now that Maiko has been sentenced where are balls of %%-%%-%%-%%-

  157. %%-%%-%%-ganja brings:-@:-@:-@:-@:-@:-@:-@ perhaps he mighty have told Sister D to report to the nearest chamber that “he had kept kilos of %%-%%-%%-%%- under the bed.

  159. First just like any where in the world such as Phelps..he should lose the attachment to ILO. Then those artists that went to court for what? Morale support for trafficking?

    Get serious…trafficking drugs nama gun iyo

  160. What relevance has your so called joke got to do with the topic at hand iwe sHiMaPePo,(which no body finds funny)? Ala! LT please don’t allow such things, otherwise this good blog will turn into a porn ‘venue’ before you know it.

  161. THERE IS MORE TO CHAMBA THAN WHAT WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THINK, If i remember very well when I was at a boarding school MUSESCO, my friend sused to smoke that everyday in the cemtary. So he is not alone and dont condem him too much coz its so clear that alot have done it before and alot other have got 100 times more than the saint himself but they are here critizing. Musiyeni chabe and please concetrat on more dangerous cases Like Yabena FTJ

  164. wat do u mean by the word “trafficking”?? i guess it was just for personal use. there ar manz serious cases in the courts than this one. anyway, guess next time he wont carry much. :)>-

  165. St Micheal looks so cool and comporsed I didnt know he is also on Ganja jihad. I feel sorry for him that he now has a criminal record which will close most of his doors unless he appeals against the conviction, maybe by chance the sentence will be squashed. As things are he is now in the criminal register of Zambia.

  166. tu bola is personal use, akudobola boi,they givin u grief when they all act more baila’d.the judical system in zed is high.

  167. 5 balls only!!!! too bad for the poor guyz but the cops are not serious in some way..They should to the getto (Chiboliya) their gona see some real weed there!!!!!!!!!

  170. St. Micheal simply slipped and that is understandable. His case is simple and all he should have received was, more community service. Most people currently serving in Government have been dealing in drugs since the KK era and to-date,they have not seen custodial sentences come there way. Yet, despite St. Micheals contribution to the community, he receives six months with hard labour…over 17g of sun dried marijuana (‘good quality by the way…’). The criminal justice is showing double standards here. I wonder whether this a status (social) issue or not. Had it been others (higher status), doing the same community work St. Micheal does, they could have been handed a PhD by now. Shame!!:-w

  172. Local musicians that attended Zulu’s judgment included Angela Nyirenda, Saboi Imboela, Danny Peddle, Mozegeta, Mathew Tembo, James Chamanyazi and Moses Sakala.

    LT, show some journalistic prudence. Can you seriously call Danny Peddle a musician? Muzi nkalako na ulemu for your readers.

  173. These Musicians should lead by example especially that they influence a large part of the society which are the youth, Shame on you St Micheal, keep your dirty habbits below public eyes please.

  174. There is nothing wrong with mbanje….these same western countries bank rolling DEC here are busy giving out licences to bar owners to freely sell mbanje to their clients and worse still give out free needles to addicts in their countries . Yet here the DEC goes to great lengths to terrorise some poor farmer from chief mpenzeni’s area who is trying to make ends meet.LEGALISE MBANJE…Besides it has more advantages health wise but DEC and its sponsors have totally turned a deaf ear to that cry…..SHAME ON YOU.
    I WONDER WHY PHELPS WAS NOT JAILED.

  176. “I will, therefore, impose a jail sentence on you, Maiko Zulu, of six months with hard labour and a suspended sentence of 12 months in which you will be required to visit 10 high schools in Lusaka, perform at Government functions and public holidays for free,” he said.

    Zulu,in your community work, would be required to visit 10 high schools in Lusaka Province to speak about the dangers of drug abuse.
    :)):)):)):)):)):)):)):)):)):)):)):)):)):)):)):)):)) being a teacher i support this move. Maiko, by the end of your community work our boys and girls in schools will learn something useful from you. Even these guys from the court, why didn’t they include schools in Chibombo district….

  178. Guys clarify this point for me, is it 17kgs or 17grams. if its the latter then DEC should learn to be serious. Go and arrest cocaine trafficers who have connections with the GOVT. Please leave mwana wa mungoni ABEME VIDOBO ANVELE BWINO. i SMOKE ABOUT 15 BALL PER DAY. Maiko ZULU ONLY 5. BEMA MUKWASU

  179. Miko Zulu performing for free as part of his jail sentence conditions. Correct me if iam wrong. Miko sings with a band. Are the band members going to assist in serving the sentence or are they also part of the sentence. Lawyers should educate us on this one

  180. # 176 Alvinhno
    I think this is kind of weired,i dont think Maiko performing att these schools going to change anything among the pupils.Take for instance the Munali boys or The Kabulonga Boys,they will start cheering immediatelly he is on stage and they wont pay any attention to his message.And 17 grams isnt such a big deal and DEC cant tell me they didnt know Maiko was doing this stuff all along.And the sentence is a lenient one,we have seen people who have spent years behind bars for only being found with seeds.Maiko kosafye kakabalika…….

  186. i don’t think the sentence is light or heavy. but looking from the other side, the guy will lose plenty of $$$ and even when he gets out, he will continue smoking weed. The best the court they would have done is just slap him in pockets not the six month sentence. I know is a well known guy and i don’t think his marijuana was for sell it was for his personal consumption. The judge just want to send the message to everyone caught with the same crime to be aware of the sentence if caught. BUT LET THE GUY GO OUT TO THE SCHOOLS AND REHAB CENTERS AND ADVOCATE ABOUT THE USAGE OF DRUGS AND ALCOHOL THAN SLAPPING HIM WITH THE 6 MONTH JAIL TIME. RASTA IS TO MARIJUANA AS PASTOR IS TO BIBLE!!!

  189. dont touch his hair the locks smell of mbanja mwibantu you get drunk just from smelling them and Mozegeter uses his hair is not a problem shave it off.

  190. i realy dont believe that a grown man who smokes canabis in the confines of his own home is doin anything wrong. The laws need to be revised worldwide, except ofcourse the scandnavians, god bless them.
