A special Narcotics Drugs Psychotropic Substances court in India has convicted a Zambian national and handed her down 30 years with hard labour for attempting to smuggle drugs from Mumbai to South Africa.
Naney Tembo, 28, was apprehended on December 22, 2008, by the detectives of the Mumbai Airport Intelligence Unit (AIU) on a tip off that she was carrying drugs when she was about to board a South Africa-bound flight.
The AIU officers recovered 77 tablets of heroin, weighing 840 gms, stashed in four socks hid by Tembo under her dress.
Tembo initially tried to misguide the interrogators saying that she was not aware that the consignment was a contraband and she did the “job” to support her family in Zambia. During the trial special public prosecutor Arun Gupte examined 13 witnesses.
Tembo was convicted on counts of attempting to smuggle drugs out of the country and contravention in relation to manufactured drugs and preparations under the provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
The court also imposed a fine of Rs 2 lakhs on Tembo. She will have to undergo the sentence for 30 years with each term extending up to fifteen years.
Zambian women have an “Axis of Evil” with Nigerian men. They end up being used by these characters. Wake up!!
these zambian women are very materialistic and like fancy life style,,stupid nigerians are taking advantage of the situation and are using them in transporting drugs,we are tired of you embarassing us you simple prostitutes.
And some people want dual citizenship for all, including Nigerian drug traffickers as long as they can find a desperate zambian girl to abuse/brainwash
If you really understand the concept of dual citizenship you wouldn’t comment like that. Firstly (dual citizenship) it’s not about primarily foreigners but about Zambians, enabling them to bring back capacity from the outside. The foreigners must still qualify under the existing requirements for acquisition of Zambian citizenship through naturalization, etc., before they can even get to the dual citizenship stage. Be informed.
@Zambian Matress don’t display your shallow thinking dual citizenship is sophisticated and not as simple as you put. It does not nullify current requirements for attaining citizenship by foreigners. The main principle is enabling Zambians to retain Zambian citizenship, got it!
I remember the case of Mary Musiyalike who was sentenced to death in China. We fought for her. She was luck finally released. We are tired. Just jail them. I have given up hope. Get rich schemes when some of us work hard everday abroad to survive. Ms Tembo enjoy jail till you are too old to enjoy life. Too many Zambian women tarnishing a good image of our hard working Zambian women. I am …..
This has nothing to do with dual citizenship Theoretician.

OUR ZAMBIAN WOMEN ARE SO EMBARRASSING. WHEN ARE OUR WOMEN GONNA STOP BEING USED ESPECIALLY BY OUR NIGERIAN BROTHERS? CAN’T THINK YOU ZAMBIAN GIRLS? ASK YOURSELVES THAT, WHY DON’T NIGERIANS SEND THEIR NIGERIAN WOMEN? THE SIMPLE ANSWER IS APART FROM IT BEING ILLEGAL IT IS ALSO A VERY RISK BUSINESS WITH A SENTENCE SPELLING THE END OF YOUR LIFE. YOU KNOW USED TO BITTERLY ARGUE AGAINST NIGERIANS WHO USED TO SAY ZAMBIAN WOMEN ARE CHEAP. I CAN’T ARGUE ANYMORE.
Brothers!? You must be joking.
Still more, 30 years is too much for just attempting to smuggle drugs. Our government should step in and let her spend a reduced sentence in Zambia. Zambian women, stop being used by Nigerians. Wake up!
Ama rabishi
zambia women embarrasin…if its not drug traffickin its fake marrieges or shame marrieges like former radio phoenix dk mzamose zulu..just to find themselfs a better life,unlike mzamose wh is now settled in britain after connin a zambian guy,other women are rotin in jail shame on you..be like congolese women who work hard
How is this story related to Mzamose sure. We know its you Nyambe the ex that posted this comment. If you have issues, please be a man and settle that with her unlike commenting and involving her in stories that dont even relate to her. Muka kula lisa ba Nyambe? I miss your shows on radio Myles.
# 10 Yeah 30 years is a lot, but thats not the point. criminal justice systems around the world try make an example on individuals so that would be perpetrators are dissuaded from commiting similar acts. To them, you are nothing but a STATISTIC :”?>:<
We disown these type of greedy amazambians tarnishing the good & squeeky clean image of our beloved zambia around the world.Rot in jail and don’t even come back.
poverty levels are so high pa zed such that most zedians will do anything to make ends meet.
Mama yame!! 30 yrs for 850grams! She should just have been deported and barred from India.
This culture of supporting family is killing people! That’s why I don’t support anybody anymore. I was in debt trying to feed family in Zambia.
They should be shooting these bitches in the heads!
30 + 28 = 58. You will come to Zambia in 2042, if you will be lucky. Enjoy yourself..
DEC needs to look beyond my sisters to their shady Nigerian partners. Go after the big fish and offer financial incentives for leading to their arrest.
Zambians should do the same. You catch mwenye you manga him 30 years also…but you dont hear that a mwenye woman is stealing ma drugs….!!!
Thirty years is too much for this crime. I’m surprised more people aren’t commenting on the unfairness of the sentence. If she had been caught in Saudi Arabia, she would have got the death penalty — and many of you still wouldn’t complain.
I agree thirty years is just too much.put yourself in that situation, we all make mistakes it might not be drugs but the bottom line is everyone has made a mistake before and we have been given a second chance and i believe she also deserve that chance. is that too much to ask?
What did you do Chama that you got a second chance for? She is lucky not to have death penaulty. These are the people who cause kids to do drugs and you’re busy talking about 30 years being little time
We musebanya ula kula we…………..
This is death sentence in disguise. Exchange Mohan for this lady, or still manga a few mwenyes for smuggling. There are a lot of mwenye smugglers – smuggling Zambian Dollars to offshore accounts.
You chose to make the bed so lie in it. 30 years!!! you will be out in about 20 to 25 years, below sixty and broke. Sad for your kids if you have any but you should have thought of them before doing this crap.
What on earth has this got to do with dual citizenship, some people awe sure, too backward in their thinkin. I dont see any mention of Nigerian but people just jump up at Nigerians necks whenever they get a chance. Here in SA Asians are bigger narcotics smugglers than Nigerians so it could have been a Paki who sent her. Not that I support Nigerians but lets be fair.
Yes that is why we do not need dual citizenship otherwise, all Zambian women will just give criminal foreigners the right to be Zambian citizens because Zed women like fast money, fast life and are easily corrupted or corruptible.
All those thinking of dual citizenship, such examples clearly work against DC. We do not need DC otherwise we will be ruled by foreigners in a very short period of time.
Zambia is ok as it is without DC, our government systems are not secure enough for DC.
Citizenship is OBTAINED & MAINTAINED by good behaviour!!! So criminals will have it READILY REVOKED WITHOUT HESITATION!!!!!!
is it that there is no corruption in india thats why we see these sentences? or maybe the lady was broke. In Zambia, if this was an indian, you would not have even heard of this case. Do on to others what they do to you. wake up zambia. for you women, work hard and clean. F*@k nigerian @sswholes.
wonderful more utujili please
In other countries she would be shot by firing squad she is damn lucky
She’s lucky she gets to live, in prison. Try and pull this one in Singapore or Indonesian…
India’s laws are too lax. Why not death sentence? Drug peddlers are equal to murderers! Extend the sentence to 80 years please. Maybe Zambian women will learn to avoid illegal businesses and think of farming or selling salaula or anything more productive than killing your friends’s children!
I would like to know what GRZ is going to do to deter people from abusing Zambian passport in this manner
This is what i was saying, Zambian people like $s especially women.If we allow dual citizenship in this country there ‘ll be chaos coz we don’t have proper security to track all criminality in Zambia.It’s very easy in Zambia to steal and go without any trace.Zambian women will jst get married to foreigners and get citizenship for the them.We know how some people are corrupt in these ministries.Therefore any president who will allow dual citizenship will make our lovely country Somalia #2.Congolese,Nigerians,sene sane,Somalians etc will be like fish in mother Zambia.We are all aware how Congolese and Nigerians learn foreign languages fast.DC is a gud move but it’s not the right time 4 Zambia.Please BaSata don’t allow DC 2 pass in a constitution otherwise Zed will be sold.Be wise plea
Buti some of you are chikopo’s, how does this have anything to do with dual nationality? Since when do drug dealers go around asking if someone has dual nationality to do crimes, thats a new concept .
I WONDER WHY SHE DID NOT HIDE THE SAME CONTRABAND INSIDE HER NYINI, IT WORKS WELL when u insert the same then have sex (live) and sperms all over the surface go to check in 30 minutes within love making no machine will detect. Free advice
You know what my sister must have been very simpleminded if she though she could carry heroin IN SOCKS like that just under her dress. She must have been picked from the village. Zambian government she is still our girl, help her so that she serves here mwe. For the sake of her mother if she is alive.
Good for her. She’ll be 50+ by the time she sees day light beyond prison. Saves her right because some of these dumb Zed woman are so stupet they think smuggling drugs will get them rich. Never that!
Wakeup Zambian girls, these foreigners you associate with for a dick and goodlife they end up misusing you in their drug cartel as couriers and turn u into mummy water.
It’s easy to talk bullshit like everybody is Holy. Just pray for the poor lady, and stop blaming other National for things like this. Most of you hates wanna be Nigerians but can’t. We should try helping our sister that needs our help in little ways before they fall victims
