Chief Registrar of Societies Clement Andeleki has sued has sued Richard Sakala in his capacity as proprietor,editor,publisher and distributor of the Daily Nation newspapers for defamation and is claiming K1 billion in damages.
This is contained in a statement of claim filed in the High court registry by his lawyers Chola Chama Legal Practitioners obtained by QFM News today.
This is in relations to articles published in the Daily Nation editions of June 25th and 26th headlined “Andeleki exposed” and “Fire, probe Andeleki” respectively.
In the articles it the Daily Nation alleged that Mr Andeleki while serving as a Police officer forged a letter written on a State House letterhead suggesting that President Levy Mwanawasa had ordered the arrest of PF cadres who had gone to Parliament in January 2006 to demonstrate against him during the opening of Parliament.
The Newspaper also alleged that Mr Andeleki was convicted by a magistrate court for posing as a qualified lawyer when he represented clients in court, when he was a mere law student.
Mr Andeleki in his statement of claim states that the articles in question contained false,malicious and highly injurious words, statements,innuendos and damaging falsehoods against him that he was a criminal, a fraudster, a convict, a crook and a danger to society who did not deserve to be appointed to his position.
He contends that contrary to the statements published by the Daily Nation, he has never engaged in any crim inal conduct and has never been convicted of any criminal offence by any Court in his life either in Zambia or abroad, and that the he has never forged the purported state house letter or has he ever been banned by LAZ from practicing law and has never appeared before LAZ to answer to any complaint or charges against him.
Mr Andeleki says the articles in question have caused him severe and permanent damage and injury to his reputation,character and standing.

Andeleki should know that PF is going in 2016… dont be big headed, governments change and Zambia will become very small for you.Â
the problem in zambia there are too many bastards
Dude, just resign – a judge has already ruled that you have no brains!
Lol!
#2 Masauso-the problem in zambia is there are too many Indunas and not enough Zulus.Every Johnny-come-lately and any fly by night semii-illiterate mofo thinks he can lead.Afadhali vile niliondoka hii nchi maskini ya zambia.
So kaili uyu Richard Sakala is still around??Â
Ati andeleki was found with porn in his brief case… Lol
Zambians, be ware of this andeleki. He is not Zambia and wants to milk the Zambians of their wealth. This suing business should not be tolerated and should be thrown out. This guy should not be allowed to practice law business pa Zed.
That is it. We will never here about this again! In Zambia, the commonest way of admitting wrong is to sue for libel and then Quietly withdraw the case.
This prick is now thinking he is Mumembe or Nchito that because the government has changed in his favour, his criminal record and all other skeletons magicaly disappear or are deniable beyond doubt! The CNP Clan is growing!
Muletekanya ba sakala.andeleki we are tired of you just resign.
You are entitled to justice whether you are a hoi-polloi or a royal. Let them prove those allegations in the courts of law.
Even if you are a no brainer your rights are protected under the law.
Good move instead of cho chise in the press everyday
How are you going to survive ba Sakala, with all these cases? Gutter journalism; it is a problematic.
who said GRZ changes every 5yrs ? UNIP 27 yrs ,MMD 20yrs were is every 5years here?
Very funny!
People saying PF is leaving in 2016 must be sick in the head!
I wish I could also sue Andeleki for not resigning like he promised
If PF leaves in 2016 then Zambia will set an African Record… VIVA PF VIVA PF the party of our Generation us the 20’s and 30’s not imwe ba chembele ba ma 50 na 60 bonse ni ba UNIP. Remember when MMD came into power it was the 20’s and 30’s generation that chased UNIP.
am guessing you dont know the average of your cabinet? shame
*** Why only the Daily Nation? Does is it mean that the Zambianwatchdog online publication which also carried the story is not read by credible people in Zambia?
The man said he will resign, i still waiting for his resignation , if he is a man of his words.
Pf will be the shortest serving party in africa
The Zambianwatchdog recently reported why the president could not fly the presidential jet to Europe! According to them that jet was banned by EU. Really? But the president used BA to Brazil. Did he leave his jet behind becos it was banned in Brazil as well? The same jet is made in Euope where it is alleged no be banned. It looks like responsible and investigative journalism in Zambia is slowly dying!
How can you have a name like ANDELEKI? Just his name alone is dodgy, let’s start with his name. He should actually be fired for having a suspicious name….then we can deal with the rest of other issues.
Hope sakala has facts not jjust uku lota.andeleki said he will resign if he is proved wrong by the cot he has just resigned this morning.
Is this man normal? How far did he go in school?
#22 how can you imagine Adeleleki can resign, a numnber one crook. Who the f%$%ck gave him such a job as registrar ? Adeleki you got 1billion isults that what you deserve, useless Lozi.
I do not understand how bloggers who were never witnesses to whatever is alleged to have happened, can conclude that Andeleki is a criminal. If the Daily Nation fails to show that what it has stated against him is true, he has a case.
Before this suit, a gentleman by the name of Munshya wa Munshya supported the Judges decision that went against Andeleki’s attempt to de-register the MMD. I take issue with what I consider a flawed analysis of this case by him. Munshya wa Munshya is clearly trying to mesmerise those not instructed in the law, while at the same time assuming that other legal minds will agree with him. Here are my observations; i) It is most ridiculous and unfair to allude that Andeleki ” has no brains” merely because you do not agree with his course of action ii) Secondly, I would in fact go so far as to state that Andeleki acted within the law, and in the general context of things, his action was legal. Munshya wa Munshya makes a submission that purports that one can use a law, but still not be legal.
PF government is the biggest joke the country has ever been subjected to.
@25. Nostradamus, to hell with your anti-lozi campaign. Andeleki is not a lozi name nor a Lui name. And it will never be. Just because a name starts with an “a” does not make it lozi.
#16! Did i hear you correctly…” VIVA PF VIVA PF the party of our Generation us the 20?s and 30?s not imwe ba chembele ba ma 50 na 60 bonse ni ba UNIP”.What is the average age of your PF ministers?Don’t insult the intelligence of the Zambians.Unless PF changes the way it is dealing with issues like corruption,tribalism,Youth Unemployement etc then come 2016 PF kuya bebele
