Enock Kavindele junior has withdrawn the Criminal complaint he filed with the Police against Presidential Political advisor Kaizer Zulu which followed a shooting incident at Chrismar Hotel.
Mr. Kavindele 42 made the withdrawal in an application before Lusaka principal resident Magistrate Mwaka Mikalile this morning.
He told the court when the matter came up for trial that he and Mr. Zulu have decided to put the past behind them as brothers.
Mr. Kavindele said his decision to withdrawal the matter is without any coercion stating that as a Christian, forgiveness forms the basis of his beliefs.
Magistrate Mikalile however, only granted the withdrawal of the first count that of threatening violence.
The second count of failure to take precaution against causing injury could not be withdrawn because it is solely up to the State whether to withdraw or not.
The State has since applied to for an adjournment to assess whether it can proceed or not with the matter on the second count against Mr. Zulu particularly that Mr. Kavindele who is suppose to be a witness has withdrawn all counts of the criminal complaint before the court.
Magistrate Mikalile has since adjourned the matter to the next week on 12th October.
Next it will be a continuation of abuse using nolle prosequi
Of course- that is commonsense
But then again this will lead to nothing because like the police, your Justice system is a joke and of course in his case he is only caring about losing his job.
Thanks

M’palateni.
Is that a revolver hidden under mwitoloshi or is the brother just blessed. I hear women are drawn to him like a magnet.
Enoch Kavindele Snr was a well known traitor/coward.
He would challenge KK & disappoint his supporters by withdrawing from on election day.
He would form a party & disappoint his supporters by abandoning his party to take up a position as Veep.
He would buy a Bank & disappoint his workers by driving it to liquidation by getting huge loans he never intended to pay back.
I see he’s raised his son to take from where he left from..
@Maloza: That’s how I remember Kavindele. He even had an EK 1996 number plate on his vehicle but he failed to stand on his party ticket in 1996. They are good at scarecrow tactics but there is no substance at close range
We saw it coming, a criminal offence is against the state but if there are no witnesses to provide testimony and evidence then the state will enter a nolle prosequi and drop the case. It is good to forgive like Kavindele junior has done but we need discipline especially for people holding high public offices. To a crime like discharging a fire arm in public, this person if left scot free due to legal technicalities needs to be removed from that public office at least that can show credibility for his appointing authority. And then I believe the laws or civil service regulations should require that when a person is facing criminal proceedings they must be suspended from duty until they are cleared!
Really laughable this Christian Kavindele. ..only become religious whatever that means when it is convenient yet he is running after every young skirt in the village whilst his wife is at home.
Anyway this is a non starter as all witnesses have been paid off….imagine not having witnesses in a hotel?
Vimasilu!
The state can and should proceed with the second count (probably with one or two others about the firearm) Kavindele can be summoned to be a witness (compelled) This nauseous culture of having one justice system for the already privileged and another punitive one for the poor, must stop.
Can’t Kavindele be served with a subpoena to compel him to testify? But then again, considering how useless our justice system is, this option may not be on the table…
Kavindele was not a witness he was a complainant! And as the Magistrate rights states his decision to withdraw the case on threatening violence can lay to rest. However discharging a firearm and failing to secure a fully loaded firearm is a different matter. It might attract a lighter sentence but it will register as a conviction. Now imagine Kavindele had gone ahead with his matter he would have had to have brought witnesses…..therefore we all now more than nine people where on duty when the ‘Mubabe’ was accosted and one of them is on record she saw him KZ discharge…I mean discharge his firearm….we should proceed with the main trail and find if he has a case to answer!
Malabishi onkatu!!
@Malaza walasa! He even started a railine failed to complete it and after a decade, gave to his son to complete and since it will take another 10 years to complete, only the grandchild will ride on it! However, EK wifey sold a plot to a foreigner, EK to chap to court and told alien it was his and not wifey! As it all this was not enough, he bought and sold Woodgate House three times to well know Indian businessman- owning a , not knowing they were claiming rebates on taxes!
Zambia has been turned into a Shi*hole by these Cowboys that Chagwa trusts with his life.
We all know Chagwa does NOT really trust Kaizer, BUT knows he Fires Kaizer, & the beans get spilled!!
The rest You can work out for yourselves.
Unfortunately Kavindele transfered that gene of cowardice and stupidity to his son
