TWO former bodyguards of the United Party for National Development (UPND) vice-president Geoffrey Mwamba have engaged the bailiffs to help them obtain goods worth K700,000 from him to recover money owed to them as compensation for unlawful detention.
Levy Simukoko of Lusaka West and Mike Sitali of Kanyama Township in Lusaka have been granted a writ of Fieri Facias (also known as a Fi Fa) by the Lusaka High Court, instructing the bailiffs to get goods worth K700,000, after Mr Mwamba failed to give them compensation in cash. A Fi Fa is a writ of execution after judgment obtained in a legal action for damages for the sheriff to collect goods from a person found wanting.
According to the Fi Fa signed on February 1, this year, the bailiffs should get goods worth K700,000 from Mr Mwamba and interest for a judgement passed against the defendant on January 21, this year, in which he was found guilty of defaming Mr Simukoko ad Mr Sitali. Mr Simukoko and Mr Sitali had sued Mr Mwamba for special damages after they claimed that he had defamed their character when he said that the two had stolen from him.
They wanted compensation for the anguish, pain and torture, the two suffered when they spent five days in police custody after being accused of stealing from him. Mr Simukoko and Mr Sitali were detained at Woodlands Police Station in November 2015 for five days after Mr Mwamba accused them of stealing US$4,000 from him. They were released after Police arrested the actual person who stole the money.
After the release, the plaintiffs went to Mr Mwamba’s plant in Chinika area in Lusaka and found that he was in Ndola and his wife and children apologised on his behalf. When they went to his residence, the next day to reconcile, Mr Mwamba allegedly chased them away from his home. All efforts to resolve the matter amicably failed and so the plaintiffs went to court to demand compensation worth K700,000. The court ruled in their favour on January 21, this year.
Shameful and this fat fella is supposed to be some Vice President of the Cattle Rustlers Party !
Why, is he re-joining PF again?
Ok now, who is fooling who here?
No, he will still remain learning how to herd cows (followers)
Ok. Thanks. Now I understand why ECL spends all this time in Southern province. By the way, who is training ECL?
This is really a very S..i.ll.Y case – Mwamba DIDN’T DETAIN THEM, they should be sueing the Police for WRONGFUL DETENTION – Zambian Education – so the judge that issued the FiFa needs to show his Grade 12 Certificate – he obviously can’t tell who is responsible for the wrongful detention. If that is the case, then EVERY CITIZEN SHOULD BE FEARFUL OF REPORTING CASES TO THE POLICE & BEING SUED WHEN POLICE BOTCH INVESTIGATIONS BY Arresting & detaining wrong suspects – “Zambia REAL AFRICA indeed!!!”
Ma rubbish African politics .That’s why Africa is voting for trump becouse he is honest
your vote don t count.
TRUMP wants to colonize Africa….We are too immature..
If this is true it goes to show the low levels our judiciary has gone to. How is reporting a suspect to police defamation. Its not GBM but the police that detained them for five days. Its the police who are trained to know if one is worth detaining or not.
Comment: The fat frog roughly took them to. poice and never minded .he is a type of character…remember one day he beat up his wife ,his worker and his in law. So sound warning to cattle rustler he wil also do the same to you njoka ni. njoka
Its a well known fact that Kaponya GBM is good for that…he will now only cough up by tossing the monies in cash right in the bailiffs faces first after a fight with them for embarrassing him in the press.
These former body guards of GBM need to sue Inspector General of police whose officers detained the two on his behalf and the state.
An initial wrong advice in law yields adverse outcome of justice to the complainant.
They’ll find the 700, 000 in cash notes stuffed around his midriff!
LET HIM DO THE SAME IN SOUTHERN PRO.HE WILL BE SURROUNDED WITH SPEARS POINTING ON HIS BELLY ELYO UKASULA EMPTYING THE ALL TAMMY TO FLAT.
