UPND President Hakainde Hichilema has asked the Lusaka Magistrate Court to bring his treason case to tomorrow as he has decided not to go for judicial review.
On Friday last week, Mr. Hichilema’s treason case was adjourned to June 12 for him and his co-accused to seek judicial review in the High Court over the certificate of committal signed by deputy chief state advocate.
But Mr. Hichilema’s lawyer Mulambo Haimbe has filed a notice to abridge time by bringing the case to May 30 or any suitable date.
Mr. Hichilema has asked the Lusaka Magistrate court to hear his case on Tuesday, May 30th 2017.
This is because he has opted not to seek judicial review as advised by the court to challenge the validity of the committal certificate signed by deputy chief state advocate Marriam bah Matandala.
Mr. Hichilema through his lawyer Mulambo Haimbe has filed a notice for principal resident magistrate David Simusamba to abridge time thereby hearing his case on Tuesday or any nearest date suitable for the court as opposed to June 12th where it was adjourned too.
The legal counsel says the defense team has been instructed by the accused not to exercise that option of challenging the certificate of committal.
He says if the court brings the case forward the state will not be prejudiced in anyway.
The UPND president was granted judicial review as accused persons have been committed to the high court for trial on instructions signed by the state advocates and not the director of public prosecutions.
It was the contention of the defense that he certificate was defective as Matandala who signed it had not submitted a letter in court to show that she was authorised by the DDP to issue instructions.
Dull (HH) Kaponya has finally seen through the treachery of his greedy lawyers. Let’s go to Mukobeko and hang/behead this thug.
Keep him locked, the peace is prevailing.
Deport him afterwards back to Uganda where he is really from, I am told.
Thanks
BB2014,2016
Kudos. Your savegeness, heartlessness, devilishness confirms the statement that Zambia is divided and it must be so. I guess you and mushota are from NE Rhidesia. We have now known what kind of people you are and we now know how to live with you. If you are in Zambia and intelligent you will see the différence. The devil who united us with the devils comitted a devilish mistate. We are hurt because of the persecussion of persecution by persecution. I am saying so because I am hurt not because of tribalism but because you and Mushota are savages, heartless, inhuman and un-Zambian. You started by calling others tribal tribal tribal and now you want to start killing them using state machinery. you will kill a few not all. The bottom line we know the devils to live with.
Abandoning the technicalities and reaching for the substance! Let the prosecution show cause, based upon substance, and not upon preponderance of evidence.
Politicians are amazing… they never learn from history. Lungu will regret this path and he will wish he never become president. Everyone around him will be gone… those who do not learn from history are bound to repeat it and it can be a very costly lesson.
Let the battle begin.
Hope the state will hammer these lawyers for HH, they have become big headed in the rest past.
The team of lawyers are divided others are against the move.
His lawyers have finally realized that playing with techinicalities is not the best way forward for their client!!! This is after how many days of having their client in jail without bail???? I said it before, and I will say it one more time.
HH’s best way forward has always been going through the process, his lawyers know if guilty and he knows the Penal Code has a noose to his neck. He made a very f00lish mistake and we all make those once in a while.
Go through the process and your conviction in place and plead for clemency … ECL is very forgiving, HH would at least have a chance to live and enjoy his wealth. Anything else will be disastrous for him. That’s his only way out … the evidence against him is overwhelming
In’gombe ilede
HH has realised that his lawyers are not serving his interest.
I have been saying this for a long time. Right now they are planning of yet another set of different preliminaries.
They have seen the bank account and have taken note that it is fat.
They wasted all the 14 days with their advantageous preliminaries, and still wanted more days to meet their desired income.
It’s Zambian Judiciary’s integrity under trial, NOT HH. The judiciary is being abused by lungu to fight his political nemesis as he goes for third term & wamu-yayaya.
How do you charge a COOKIE, a GARDEN-BOY & a SECURITY GUARD for treason?
No normal judge can entertain this case which has no evidence but relies on illusions. It’s BAD AT LAW as Judge Malumani put it.
FREE HH
FREE MWALITETA
FREE BAROTSE ACTIVISTS
FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS
TheEngineer (Australia now Germany) if you HH is planning to be President so that he can revenge the Good works President Lungu is doing by punishing him. then god will never make HH to be President because he wouldn’t want to see that.
Deport mushota
We are appealing to the UK authorities to deport the monkey mushota back to where it came from.
Among spreading STDs among white men it is also degenerating their universities by claimimg to be a PHD.
This how HH lost the 14 days period to have his petition heard. Going forwards and backwards. Politricts and keeping cattle are two different things.
@ maloza. I concur with you. Even the way the treason charge sheet was changed says it all:-
1st they said treason arose from the traffic incident.
2nd they changed & said treason was committed during unknown events on an unknown date betwn September 2016 year & April 2017.
3rd they did another chipante-pante & then changed the charge sheet again claiming that HH wanted to be received as a president in Mongu
That is enough evidence to show that the charges are cooked up by Évil PF & dull lawyer lungu.
The rotten judiciary with corrupt judges like Simusamba, Sunday Nkonde, Matthews Ngulube (a recipient of ZamTroop funds), ConCourt judges headed by a WEAK Chief Justice Irene Mambilima are such a disgrace.
The uncivilised statements on this blog are appalling to say the least. Do we have people in Zambia who can train others in blog etiquette. Others use vulgar language, others do not even understand the topic at hand, others have turned every thing political even where unnecessary, others are debating on political lines removing all objectivity from their thinking. We need editors who can filter out trash from blogs.
Maloza, be very careful HH may end up being jailed and that will be your end and no one will do anything about it. Start mobilizing your fellow UPND followers to go apologize at the courts and plead that HH be released. We don’t even know who is in charge of state machinery because even Lungu was told off for interference.
Mphepo yamulapula mu boarding mambala !!!
You are really sick. The kind of hatred you have for others is the one that has made this
country to be backward.
Musata Nyoko
B R Mumba, Sr. What evidence is there against HH’s treason case? You people surprise me. You probably haven’t been following this case. You see, even if you hate HH you should try to be objective at times. I understand you may have some hatred for HH because of your tribe but believe me, there’s no case to talk about. Go and read the penal code, unless you choose to be ignorant. By the way, I am a northerner but I know just how most but not all Bembas hate Tongas. Hatred of each other’s tribes will not take our country anywhere. I find it difficult to imagine that a person can hate another because of the name of his tribe. It’s really difficult for me. I can promise you that no normal person can find HH guilty in this case unless some judge under state house influence.
@ janza kumbele.
Don’t mind Kudos. There’s a lot of us from the Northern region who see HH as a Zambian who doesn’t deserve to be treated the way he’s being treated. We will pray for him so that the devils mistreating him will one day pay for what they are doing. My interest is to see my country make progress economically, socially and politically. I don’t care about the tribe of the person who delivers that progress. If it’s HH or any other person from a different tribe so be it.
Ba ZESCO Mabumba … first of all I wanted to ask you if you have even watched the incriminating video for your hero HH. Secondly, I want to find out if you even know the relevant laws applicable to your hero’s case and why he is being charged with treason.
Thirdly, how is it that you are able to tell by divine intervention that B R Mumba, Sr is a tribalist and hurtful? By all accounts, do you even know who B R Mumba, Sr is other than seeing his face and name online?
Fourthly, how is it that all the legal experts fully understand the gravity of HH’s case but only minions like yourself offer simplistic monolithic views on such a complicated issue at law? Please ask the above and I will be ready to debate further.
HH. Deserves to b in jele…he abandoned his fo.olish Mwaliteta. Nice to see them pamodzi.
So it had to take Ganja Man from Ganja Party Peter Sinkamba to pump the obvious into these money sucking vampires called lawyers? Or is it a question of Under 5 just being stubborn and not taking cousel from his lawyers ..this is a non bailable case you can raise all preliminaries you want and the court will gladly grant you enough rope to rot in jail to your hearts content and your pocket’s misery . At least common sense has prevailed, shall we got on with the trial now please.
Keep licking those bloody smelly boofs, facker.
IT IS BECAUSE OF MANY REASONS INCLUDING A QUESTION OF UNDER PANT BEING STUBBORN, NOT TAKING COUNSEL FROM HIS LAWYERS, HH’s LAWYERS WANTING TO PROLONG THE CASE IN ORDER TO MAKE MONEY.
Zambia will forever be at peace once this filthy thug is beheaded. We are enjoying peace and quiet now that he’s behind bars and it can only get better once we take him to hell.
We need to introduce death by stoning. I’ll throw the first brick at his bawls
It lazy simusamba who came up with the judicial review not his lawyers. Shck the fvxk up you bleeding bloody fvxk.
@ Mr. Kudos…
Why are you having sleepless nights over HH?
You have HH where you want him, in JAIL, but you still can’t sleep. So you think when you kill him that’s when you’ll sleep peacefully?
And you claim to be christians who even pray in tongues at Jesus’s tomb in Jerusalem. Hypocrisy at its best!!
@Mr Kudos, your barbaric utterances leave much to be desired. I think you were born from an animal and not human being!
Devil the death sentence should start with you and your familly
why is HH case taking too fast? we have many people in cells why can’t they be given chance also to appear in court every day it is HH in court
Because under pf legal aid department is dead, most poor people without legal representation end up spending unnecessary time in prison. You should be ashamed to bring out your pf diapers in public.
EVEN ME I AM WONDERING WHY HH’s CASE IS ON ROCKET SPEED. WHAT ABOUT THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN ALSO CHARGED WITH OTHER CRIMINAL OFFENCES? DON’T THEY DESERVE AN EQUALLY SPEEDY PROCESS OF TRIALS? DON’T MAKE HH IMPORTANT NATIONALLY WHEN HIS IMPORTANCE IS JUST MAINLY IN SOUTHERN PROVINCE.
Because Kaizer Zulu is not charged with assaulting a police woman.
Yes, I agree it’s too fast. Even Mwaliteta is still languishing waiting to come to court. Let HH chill his heels for a further 6 years before his case comes up.
Its fast because he is the rightful president all these are to prepare him
After lengthy discussion with our lawyers and strategic partners this is what we decided decided as the best way forward. We thank you and ask that we stick together
This is good now NEZ is licking his uncircumcised things and balls!
We. You are not even anywhere near the people who make decisions in the UPND let alone membership of the the legal team.
This is evidenced by your crudeness and vulgarity.
@NEZ , this was supposed to be done a long time ago…but alas the damn lawyers had to keep raising unnecessary preliminary issues.meanwhile HH was is in jail as they raise useless issues.Let the high court process begin so this whole debacle can end.There is no proof whatsoever that HH committed a treasonable offence.So i see this whole circus ending well for HH.
@NEZ. It is actually Vincent MALAMBO who advised the likes of MUshipe and that other tonga Jack lawyer. You can see there is even a new Mulambo Haimbe lawyer applying for committal. The others have even ran away because they are preliminary lawyers.
Chi Ha NEZ, with his large tonga balls
I thank ECL for stopping his officers from firing shots at hh. Zambia would have been at war today. Peace is prevailing bcoz of Edgar’s advice. I will be glad to c hh rot and masturbate in jail for life.
Is lungu a your god? Don’t worship a fellow human being.
2nd commandment: . Exodus 20:3-4″You shall have no other gods before Me. 4″You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth.
Why are PF Bloggers not celebrating? They can now convict HH and others for Treason and jail him at Mukabeko Prison for years to come. The Motorcade Rage Incident triggered the Treason Charge. Now the State dropped the Motorcade Charge thru a Nolle Prosqui what Charges are there to sustain Treason ? Bring it on!
@ Moya: NOLLE PROSEQUI MEANS YOU CAN BRING UP THE CHARGE ANYTIME YOU FEEL YOU HAVE EVIDENCE. THE MAN IS STILL ON THE NOOSE. HOWEVER WE KNOW THAT HE WILL NOT HUNG. BUT HE WILL LEARN A LESSON.
Pray to God for HH release. Do not celebrate yet. The treason case has not yet started. Be patient and hear whether there are facts or not.
No need of insulting each other or making un comprising comments. That is the way forward. We will be able to hear the truth.
Let the bulls now lock horns. It’s a defining moment!
HH is just Sick in the head just like he’s lawyers and chief advisor chi mutinta
Useless lawyers chimbwe no plans, Kikikikikikikikiki
@ Yazuphi. It’s you, lungu, mumbi phiri, Fr. Bwalya, Kaizer Zulu that are sick with your EVIL HEARTS.
You have HH where you want him, in JAIL, but you still can’t sleep. Maybe when you kill him that’s when you’ll sleep peacefully. And you claim to be christians who even pray in tongues at Jesus’s tomb in jerusalem. mxm!
It’s a passing phase. Nothing lasts forever. Time will vindicate the current leadership of Zambia both pro and anti-government. Again I say passing phase!
Kudos, Mushota etc PF cadres, hear ECL is on hunger strike? president Edgar Lungu has become allergic to nsima and T bone. What has become of Ester Lungu’s cooking for ECL not to eat?
Abandoning fantasy and fiction, and heading for facts; a showdown we all have been waiting for.
It is good that Sinkamba slammed the lawyers for wasting time on worthless preliminary issues and pumped sense into HH. If the lawyers were serious enough, the moment Magistrate Simusamba decided to deliver “ADVISE” HH’s lawyers to seek a judicial review instead of making a “FIRM DECISION”, the lawyers should have raised a ‘red flag’. How does one go for a judicial review where there is no decision to challenge? How does one take advice for judicial review? Funny, ehhhhhh?????????
One goes for judicial review to challenge the lower court decision or a decision of an administrative body concerning factual findings or legal findings. So, you take advise for judicial review????????? That same Friday, HH’s lawyers should have stood down the matter to consult with their client, and…
Sinkamba has proved to be understand law better than HH’s lawyers. maybe HH can hire him to represent him.
CONTINUED:
That same Friday, HH’s lawyers should have stood down the matter to consult with their client, and within minutes get back to inform court that their client was not interested in the advice, and instead asking court to commit the matter to High Court IMMEDIATELY……and the rest would have been history. Now they have to plead for another hearing…lets hope there will be space
kudos mukongo wacinoko na kalofu kamushota, u will see when zambia turn like ashes no peace in this country dear keep on posting usless comment very soon u wil run.
Its a pity Hikainde Hichilema has been betrayed by his UPND MPs, they are enjoying and dinning with government officials, while HH is suffering in prison for not recognising government. HH thought his MPs were going to stand by him, by boycotting but they are all over running for allowances in government functions to fill their hungry stomachs and lineup their pockets. His MPs have sacrificed him.
So you want them to stop going to National Assembly? Do you know who they represent? You think its football game…its even better now that they attend as Lazy and his tins will be fast-tracking amendments whilst heads are turned
THAT IS A LESSON EVERYONE SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT HH WAS JUST A DICTATOR OVER UPND AND ALL UPND MPs. MOST MPs ARE HAPPY THAT THE DICTATOR IS NO LONGER IN THEIR MIDST. MAENDELE, NOMBA. THEY ARE FREE TO MAKE DECISIONS OF THEIR OWN WILL. NOT DECISIONS DICTATED UPON THEM BY THEIR FILTHY-LOOKING gOD. HE REALLY DID HPLD THEM AT RANSOM.
@Mwenya- Nobody has betrayed anyone. When you hear that politics is a dirty game that is what is meant.
politicians behave like a hyena. one leg here and another leg there. Hakainde dribbled Dr Canicious Banda in preference to GBM. Politics is a place where morals are thrown to the wind.It is sebana wikute( look disgraced in order to eat) type of arrangement. For you to survive you need to be a tactical person not just hallucinating.
In the first place I would like to worn Mumbi Phiri that she is not a good leader but an evil one.
The issue is not about lawyers but the PF who do not have the truth but just want to create evil activities and show out their hypocrisy that they are clean. Lawyers want to make sure that HH comes out clean than you the so called PF leadership who can even go to an extent of cheating in courts and you say you are law abides when you are a bunch of criminals.
What has hitherto been a toy game is now turning into a total ground warfare.
I cant wish HH bad but only wisdom!!HH’s lawyers are a big let down as they never learn.cool that now HH has advised them to let the treason trials start at High court than wasting time in a lower court which has no powers to handle such a case.
ABOUT PEACE,YES ITS TRUE-ZAMBIA IS VERY PEACEFUL TODAY MINUS HH&GBM IN SOCIETY!!WE ONLY HOPE THAT AFTER LEAVING JAIL,HH WILL CHANGE WAYS OF DOING POLITICS BECAUSE ZAMBIA IS BIGGER THAN HH OR EDGAR LUNGU!!SO WE NEED PEACE IN ZAMBIA!
as to whether this is a treason case or not,lets all allow the High Court neutral judges to decide because only them can free or convict HH!!
Agree with your sentiments except for one – Green Party leader Sinkamba is the one who advised HH’s lawyers to drop the rubbish they were following and get straight to the treason trial at the High Court.
I’m appealling to the judiciary to accord all criminal suspects in jail an urgent trial like what HH is getting.we are all equal in the eyes of God(poor or rich)!!HH’s case is moving very fast,so all cases for suspects behind bars must move at this rate.
If magistrate Simusamba has other cases of poor Zambians to handle,then he must not change HH’s dates.let him stick to 13th June,2017.then at the High Court;we know there are a lot of cases on a waiting list.that list must be respected than bringing HH’s trial dates forward.if High Court judges a fully booked until october,2017 then let trials for this treason case start in November or December,2017 as there is no need to jump dates for poor suspects in jail too!!FAIRNESS MUST BE GIVEN TO ALL ZAMBIANS ESPECIALLY THE POOR BECAUSE THE…
Do the criminal suspects also have treason charges?
I TOTALLY, AGREE WITH YOU NJIMBU.LET THERE BE JUDICIAL FARENESS. THE ALLEGED CRIMINALS INCARCERATED LIKE HH MUST NOT BE TREATED UNFAIRLY DUE TO HH@S SPEEDY TRIAL. HH AND OTHERS ARE ALL ALLEGED CRIMINALS WHO SHOULD BE TREATED FAIRLY.
@Njimbu-Have you ever read the book called ANIMAL FARM? When you read it you will understand how the world is run.
After all we know that HH has not case it’s just because of Devil worship who pretend to be Christians at the same time mistreating others. People like Mushota are not need in society because the are evil. If Lungu was a good leader he would fear the opposition leader but because he is so bad and surrounder by thieves he is fighting everyone. We shall know them by their fruits. Even Chiluba thought he was clever.
HH has now starting feeling the reality of jail. His been advised in prison by fellow prisoners at your lawyers are wasting your time.
There thousands of prisoners who have been longer in prison than HH. Treat them equally same including HH
I think Njimbu, you don’t understand the case in this trial, I guess you think of someone who steal a chicken in the back garden. I think go back and read about court case and come back and make meaningful comments.
As a lawyer when you are emotionally involved in matter its best to recuse oneself. “Abridgement” has its place AND to endeavour to petition a court to commence trail rather than rule on a pi is fraut with questions. We all know the primary aim has been to allow HH to go home but this wont happen under legal gymnastics. He will remain locked up for close to 4 months
HH has realised that his lawyers are not serving his interest.
I have been saying this for a long time. Right now they are planning of yet another set of different preliminaries.
They have seen the bank account and have taken note that it is fat.
They wasted all the 14 days with their advantageous preliminaries during the cooked petition, and still wanted more days to meet their desired income.
Now his being in cells has help HH to know their true character.
Thanks to God that this will come to an soon s
Let this chapter come to an end and we get on with our lives. Wishing HH good luck as he appears in court today. Meanwhile President Trump has signed an executive order to allow Zambians visa free entry to USA on 180 days business trips
Green Party president Sinkamba is better than upnd lawyers
Way to go.
Thank you for finally seeing the light on the road to Damascus.
Now that HH has committed himself to the HC the Treason Trial can begin in earnest. The HH Persecution Committee Chaired by the Notorious KZ can spring to action and prolong the Trial to keep HH in Prison for a long time. HH is at the mercy of this Persecution Committee in State House.The Committee will then find HH guilty of Treason and send him to Mukobeko Prison as per Plan for the rest of his Life. The whole World and God are watching!!
Deport mushota
We are appealing to the UK authorities to deport the monkey mushota back to where it came from.
Among spreading STDs among white men it is also degenerating their universities by claimimg to be a PHD.
That is why I like General Miyanda.He has no trust in these lawyers.Lawyers are there to milk the client.They are not there to render legal assistance.At the end of the day,I feel HH should just go it alone than depending on lawyers who are not representing him effectively and efficiently.Lawyers are parasites who should not be trusted.They are after making money not the welfare of a client they are representing.It is a big shame indeed!!!
UPND dunderheads did it have to take Peter Sinkamba for your highly paid lawyers to use their brains??. Even during the Presidential Petition it was the same and you even convinced yourselves that you were not heard how dull can you get?. And today you want to convince us that you can run this country??. It like you are in your own world in your 3.5 provinces whilst the rest watch in amazement at your hatred and dullness
They should have shot him in Mongu but then in consideration of the innocent people around him and in respect to His Royal Highness the Litunga.
I think mushota at one point had eaten the back of the chicken(munyelo Wankuku ) for him to be talking any how even if what hi says is nosense because it’s only the chicken’s back that doesn’t stop moving.sorry I’m not gay
@Mbaluso u dont know what u are talking about. U ignore Legal Advice at your own peril. Don’t forget that this Treason Charge was initially precipitated by the Mongu Motorcade Incident and when the State was cornered it entered the Nolle Prosqui on the Motorcade Charge. Although the Charge has been dropped for now the State can reinstate it any time. Defence is covering all these possibilities and on balance they have advised HH to now commit to the HC. The Defence has done its home work and has shredded the Treason Charge. We now know that HH was arrested and charged b4 the investigations were done and were never done. We now know the Arresting Officer who is also the Complainant and a Witness. We know the Arresting Officer presided over all the Charges and what he did was unprocedural…
With Simusamba in Charge the Circus continues. He will adjourn the Commital to the HC until he gets a go ahead from KZ, the Chairman of the HH Persecution Committee at State House. At the HC the Committee will seek to adjourn the Case to a later date and they keep on adjourning the case until 2021 when elections come up. These are Lungu’s Plans but will they work? Time will Tell.
Release HH. PF and its thugs really hate him. But Zambian society actually needs him because he is important to us. Stop Persecution of innocent people.
There is no case here…. Legal minds are aware that the state has no proper grounds….
I wonder on the efficiency on the state to collect evidence on treason charge when they failed on traffic offence and insult charges. The state arguments on treason will be speculative to show that they are doing something. In the process , where they will seems to have little or no grounds after rebuttal from the defence, the state may enter a nolle…
What will be the ramification when the state enter a nolle after a highly publicized arrest? The state shall be deemed to be any abused of human rights and The President may fire Top police officers to clean his image.
This is my assessment……
They shall be scapegoat after this case……Wait and see……
I wont be surprised if the DPP…
I wont be surprised if the DPP decided to take the case in the High Court. Knowing her, she has a way of avoiding thorny issues… Nolle in waiting when she bear the heat…..
The state lawyers have not much experience on treason cases nor the DPP.. on the defence team , Malambo and Mwiimbu has. The state lawyers may not have the time for pre- trial sessions with witness due to poor case brief management. this is different with defence lawyers……
The issue of opting for trial are matter of prudence and avoid issue of jurisprudence for case law when there is no case. The HIGH COURT shall either dismissed a case when it lack merit because of a bad charge or defective element.
Malambo and Mwiimbu are some of the useless lawyers specialised in preliminary issues. This is exactly what they did during the ill-fated election petition. They should thank Eric Silwamba (Green Party leader) for teaching them something about going for the bigger fish.
Meant Peter Sinkamba.
We hope UPND is now listening to what they would have previously thought as dissenting views. They were thinking that whoever says something contrary to their views was out to get them. Just a few years ago, they were busy insulting Archbishop Telesphore Mpundu and saying that the Catholic church wants to bring genocide into Zambia. Peter Sinkamba was called Chamba man. Michael Sata was CNP. Guy Scott was Muzungu wopusa. Fast forward, the Catholic church is speaking for the voiceless and the Pentecostals are evil and, HEMCS (MHSRIP) was a saint compared to the devil currently in the seat, Peter Sinkamba’s ideas are saving the day. Guy Scott is now a darling. Please note the difference how the PF responded to the Pastoral letter from the Bishops a few weeks ago and how UPND would have…
Imagine these people. and all the while they think Zambians are so dull such that they don’t see all this. Remember the protests aginst the appointment of Mutembo Nchito as DPP in 2012 or so?? upnd youths were beaten by police over the same issue. Today, Mutembo would have even been AG had upnd won the election…
Cont’d……
Please note the difference how the PF responded to the Pastoral letter from the Bishops a few weeks ago and how UPND would have would have responded if they had perceived that it was targeted at them; it is quickly dying away without much insults as some people had expected. Either there are no advisors in UPND or someone is extremely stubborn and wants to fight his battles on many fronts. Sorry to say this but traditional leaders like Mukuni and the other one, whose name I have forgotten, who said that only a Tonga should take over from Mazoka are making UPND look very tribal. Wako ni Wako as the Chewas would say.
THIS REMINDS ME OF THE 14 DAYS, THESE LAWYERS ARE NOT SERIOUS…
This is what happens when tribe becomes the determinant in one’s decisions. The accused(hh) is tonga, all his co-accused are tonga, defence lawyers: malambo, muchende, mushipe, mweemba, mwiimbu, haimbe. His vuvuzela Zambian watchdog is managed by Lloyd himaambo and clayson hamasaka, both tonga. These emotional tonga lawyers will lose a seemingly weak and easy case.SAD
ITS TRUE EVERYTHING ABOUT HH IS TRIBAL. YOU CANNOT HAVE A NATIONAL PRESIDENT WITH SO MANY TRIBAL TRAITS. EVEN HIS WORKERS AT HOME ARE ALL TONGA, WHAT A CREATURE IS HH? LUAPULA,NORTHERN,MUCHINGA AND EASTERN ARE THE ONLY PROVINCES WHICH CAN GIVE HIM THE PRESIDENCY BUT WITH THIS KIND OF TRIBALISM ITS EACH REGION FOR ITSELF AND GOD FOR US ALL. MOREOVER THIS MAN WILL BE CONVICTED AND THEREFORE NOT ELIGIBLE TO STAND IN 2021. BUT THE SENTENCE WILL BE LIFE IMPRISONMENT AND NOT DEATH SENTENCE. ZAMBIA IS VERY PEACEFUL WITHOUT HIM AROUND.
They’ll rip him off before they have him released- not to mention Charles Milupi is gunning for UPND Veep and is likely to be running mate in 2021- GBM’s treachery has been exposed and the tribal hounds will get him out of UPND.
if HH is tribal , who are you? If the lawyers are tribal, how about your lawyers?
from my analysis, be sober gentleman…. let the case proceed… don’t find tribal in every thing…. Are you very holy , more holy than UPND?
Imweeee…….
Some of you are happy to see accused in prison for a long time. Have a human heart and condemn govt for keeping people long without trial. In the meantime govt spend a lot of money keeping accused in prison instead of buying medicines, paying students etc
@robmwale or is it robhamwale do you know why you have always been losing elections ? It is because imwe ba UPND you think you know it all even when Peter Sinkamba advised you here on this forum you refused to see sense and as usual called him all sort of names. Even on the Presidential Petition upto now you still insist you were not heard and even blame the Concourt judges when infact it was your lawyers with they preliminaries. ECL will rule this country until the next elections what you were supposed to do is strategize for 2021 . Show us Zambians in 6.5 provinces that you are democratic hold a convention, how do you call ECL a dictator when you yourselves last held a convention 10 years ago ?
The level of blogging is appalling. There is a lot of misuse of a treason charge in Zambia judicial system. I don’t support any political party or anyone but looking at the charges and not even a single charge will fall under treason. I have had a privilege to read about a treason charge in Zambia in the past and in what circumstances one can be charged for treason in Zambia. There is two actions that will warrant a treason charge in Zambia (1) using force to overthrow the Govn’t and (2) Aiding the enemy of the state or someone to over throw the Govn’t. I will let you be the judge on HH case and blog sensibly . BTW i am a grade ten drop out but self made millionaire.
The death of legal aid came at the advent of mmd when people came to love money. Even the Catholic paralegal is Moribund.
Ha ha ha ha HH lawyer are full of preliminary issues.Can’t hire those lawyers.Simple case but the man is in prison due to lack of credible lawyers.Nowonder u wasted time in con court.Bwafya ba lawyer ba HH .Let him find good lawyers pantu he’ll be in prison forever
Off topic in,2015 the South African foreign minister was denied entry into Israel because she planned to meet the Palestinian leader Abbas
Ofcourse, that is what normal country’s do when they feel their security is under risk!
Thanx NEZ for being polite and use of good language .surely people will appreciate take serious what you say. That’s wisdom and being intelligent my Bro . Let s support our beloved president HH and in 2021 will definitely have him in state house .Good strategy is all we need to convice the beloved people of Zambia that he is the best leader .Keep your cool when provoked because some one will tempt you insult so that people take your for a joker .Insults just dent us. Thanks my man…
Mambwe , am not UPND or PF like you….. Politicians have destroyed this country……. Look at Kaunda, Chiluba, Banda and Lungu….. Can you compare them with Jesus?
Never trust these politicians…. they don’t buy you food or take your children to school….
They don’t pay taxes but you and me do.
I keep saying, Lungu may survive cos of immunity, but abena Mumbi Phiri,Lusambo, Frank Bwalya, Richard sakala and all those MP refusing to pay back the money will not escape when the time comes. For now ENJOY..
The fact is that no treason grounds exist or have ever existed. There is no State lawyer eager to prosecute this case. No one wants to take responsibility for a sham – except of course the political persecutors like Lungu and the breed of imbe..les that surround him. And then some sadist non-thinking bloggers here are calling for a noose around HH’s neck. How about calling for the same for your relatives when they get charged frivolously?
Mushota you will die a very painful death because you rejoice over other people’s suffering.
@Harold Muna typical UPND cadre you know everything the only thing that puzzles me is why have you failed to convince Zambians to vote for you . You have been losing since 2001 can’t you sit down and think?? . I think you have the wrong candidate but then again you know everything
I AM SURPRISED THAT PEOPLE ARE YAPPING AT THE RATE AT WHICH HH’s CASE IS FAST TRACKING AT THE EXPENSE OF THE OTHER POOR CONVICTS!
WELL IF YOU HAVE CASH, HIRE LAWYERS FOR THEM BECAUSE THE LAST TIME I CHECKED THE LAWYERS MANDATED BY GOVERNMENT (LEGAL AID) TO REPRESENT THEM ARE NOT DOING MUCH TO HELP THEM FAST TRACK THEIR CASES… AND THAT IS HH’s FAULT RIGHT???? ALA BANE TULEIKALA FYE!
AS FOR THE TREASON CASE! I HAVE GRABBED MY POPCORN AND READY FOR THE DRAMA SERIES!
But how does one change his mind so freely in a dictatorship? People need to understand that there is no direct translation for treason in our local dilects. Treason was created by the same people you cry foul to when you feel your democratic rights have been abused. It’s the same people who killed through hanging if you were in violation of your allegiance to sovereign or state. So when people start using terms like dictatorship in Zambia, spare a thought to people who are not so privileged to even have any form of representation.
@Mambwe – Nowhere did I profess to know everything nor state that I am a UPND member. What does that say about your ‘analysis’ in making such assumptions? My point was that any one objective enough should be able to discern that this case smacks of nothing but ‘vengeance’. My comment was not about who has won or not won what. Not now anyway. It was about process and justice – and its misuse. It is about anyone else in a similar situation who suffers at the hands of a capricious regime that only knows intimidation and harm as a way of covering its inadequacies.
@61, vengeance or not, underfive deserves a few months in correction for endangering the President’s life or refusing lawful instructions. Why do donkeys fail to understand a very simple thing like that?
HH’s legal team need to stop giving bad advice. This matter would have been heard by now had it not been all the shilly shallying they do in courts. Poor HH, has had to endure all the weeks in jail for what? Maybe the courts would have found in his favour by now(not!).
The best is for him accept husband guilt, to apologise and let President Lungu pardon him. It will be humbling, but he needed to be grounded. He went too far. Think he should be allowed migration to USA, where they’ll send him to Guantanamo Bay if he pulled his misbehaviour against the state.
Well I don’t know! Correction.
‘The best is for him accept to His guilt…….’
