Delivering her judgment this morning, Magistrate Faides Hamaundu freed Mutinta on grounds that there was no proof that she had torn the search warrant and obstructed police officers from conducting the search.
Magistrate Hamaundu said prime video evidence which was captured by a ZNBC journalist who was assigned to capture the execution of the warrant did not show the accused tearing the search warrant.
She further stated that even if the warrant was torn, there was no way it was going to prevent police officers from executing the search warrant, adding that even in its torn state, it was still readable.
And speaking after her acquittal, Mutinta said she is glad that finally the case is over, adding that justice has taken its course.
And Mr. M’membe on the other hand slammed the Zambia Police Service for what he has termed as a shameful act to frame a case of obstruction against an innocent lady.
He further accused the Patriotic Front government of using the Police for their own political ends.
From Power Couple to Loser Couple. Let Mutinta Rant. It hurts to be nothing.
Who is your father yourself? And how do you call somebody that has won a court case a loser? Its wise to shut ones big mouth if you have nuts for a comment
WE HAVE SEEN AN ACCUSED WALK TO FREEDOM BECAUSE THE WITNESS WAS A DRUNK OR P.RO.ST.IT.UT.E – BE LEVEL HEADED NOW. WE EMBRACE THE RULE OF LAW.
==============================
The devil is in the details.
“…did not show the accused tearing the search warrant.
She further stated that even if the warrant was torn, there was no way it was going to prevent police officers from executing the search warrant, adding that even in its torn state, it was still readable…”
A WALK TO freedom DOES NOT always entail innocence. Every dog has its own day. Congrats! How ironic. #wehowthembytheirfruits.
What do you expect just look at the name of the Judge who executed the judgement
Don’t forget Zambia Police once charged M’membe with spying openly in broad daylight and openly passing on information which a foreign power could benefit from to harm Zambia. Which spy operates like that? The court acquitted him.
@ nubian princess (LoL)
“…It hurts to be nothing…”
Now we understand your usual frustrating comments.
For once, you are right.
You are NOTHING!!!
What is worrying is that Zambians are Ok with this.
It is clear she tore the warrant.
Can you prove the piece of pape rshe tore was the proverbial search warrant?
Does tearing a search warrant constitute obstruction of justice?
Who was the accused? Mutinta.
Who was the judge? Hamaundu.
I rest the case
That’s a good analysis
Bigot! With that thinking, you deserve to live in the bush with animals. You have no place where human beings live.
common, there is no need for tribal talk here. You can do better.
Sadly this the generation that will rule one day with this type of retrogressive mindset…I blame it on the current crop of useless leaders both in ruling and opposition party!!
Its not that every judge and magistrate has been bought by PF and has a price tag, false accuser!
Bulldust!
How does DPP let all these cases go to courts!!
How do u expect a TONGA judge to prosecute a fellow TONGA ? jUST LOOK AT THE VOTING PATTERN ITS PURE WAKO NI WAKO FOR TONGAZ ..TUBE AND TYRE
Like judge Siavwapa ai.
Ha ha, so it’s the tribe you were arresting. Lost years, KK educated and guided you what more do you want yo achieve with your “tribal lens”. The last person I heard cling to tribal thinking had run out ideas, even your Mugabe is no sing ” one Zimbabwe one nation”, your time will come.
@anyoko, cut t5hat tribal crap it is not working now.
‘” TONGAS WOULD RATHER VOTE FOR HH THAN JESUS CHRIST” says Chishimba Kambwili. Who says the judiciary system in Zambia is under the manipulation of president Lungu? If it is, why this lady has walked to freedom ?The judiciary in Zambia is one of the best entities in Africa and it is seen to be even by the outside world. Only the tribal grouping makes such wild allegations against our independent and competent judiciary especially when the judgment is not in their favor. Meanwhile, good luck to the lady and a big pat on the shoulder to this magistrate who delivered the justice for her high level legal professionalism she has shown in the manner she handled this case.
Another human being who thinks like an animal. You accidentally became a human being. Hence, you lack reasoning. Why can’t you clean the poop you have in your head.
Before you start praising the Zambian judiciary for its independence, ask yourself the question: What has Lungu lost by this judgement? NOTHING!!!!
Now sue to the max…….. GRZ has enough money.
Support your local team! Verdicts by collusion!
“Mutinta Hakainde!”
LT thank you for correctly stating File: … without the word TODAY” in it as you did a few days ago.
The level of thinking yama Zambians, is really embarrassing and very very low. Do you guys come from the same mother? How are you guys even alive? Guys please, why are you so low in thinking? What is your problem? You call others tribalists, but what you are espousing here is worse than that. You are literally asking to lynch a person because of tribe. Echo mulowela m****** mwe, ama jealousy. Fimbi fyalileta nobuloshi kufyalo fyabene.
Well done Judge for seeing through these scums.
Squally hypothetical comment, yak!!!
Thorn in the fresh, can you translate or explain “squally”? What is the hypothesis of my comment? Are just collecting words to try to make sense? Bwafya.
Squarely naive. You’re a deadly bigot. Calm down and comment like man.
These are paid cadres, the government pays tax money to these tribalists instead of servicing loans. empty vessels
Any comment spiced with insults is repulsive, no matter how good the subject content.
Yes, from Mutinta the wife of Hakainde.
“The level of thinking of HaJayJay, HaSpakata and Nose demon is very high, very high!” Mutinta.
Seriously thinking if the PF were in control of the police and judiciary this Jezzebel would have been imprisoned.
The Europeans are watching , and lungu knows no IMF assistance……
Nanje
Ati jezebel, pwahahahahaha!
Man, you can do better. Pwahahahahaha. I will definitely live to laugh another day.
Wandepula.
@Ndanje/Thorn; Seriously, you now agree that our judiciary is great! Right?
What is your message?
@Sharon.
Totally.
@Spaka which European is watching? In any case Zambia is Zambia and not Europe. So go sniff at your masters arse so that they can ” punish ” Zambia. Is it Lungu to suffer? No it’s your crampy old grandma in Sinadambwe village of the Gwembe valley.
@ !MBECILE #15.6
When it comes to “…sniff at your masters arse…”, please do not forget to also 5uck his gonorrhea infected d!ck
The bourgeoisies have destroyed our society and masses at large .the reasoning of capitalists is of shame.the struggle to continue.SOCIALISM THE FUTURE FOR ZAMBIAN MASSES.ALUTA CONTINUA.
There was simply no case , all political procecussions like the GBM training youths , like the HH treason, like the GBM assault of a marketeer…all PF politics.
Now seems the Europeans are watching and lungu is trying to behave…
Dept of HaLosers!
Liar.
Today they say PF is in control of the Judiciary tomorrow they say otherwise! Matipizya!
There is no worst corner for a corrupt wannabe dictator then the broke as.s corner…….when you have just gone through $17 billion and raising taxes ain’t just working , then you realise you need the IMF and the West , then it hits you that those institutions need good governance to be seen.
You then start pretending to be of good governance only to realise your rule is based on corruption and violent oppression of any opposition to stay in power…….its agony time for sure.
Fortunately the IMF and the West are prudent enough not to go by the comments on social media. They make their own assessments and to my knowledge, they are not as bad sounding as the negative comments about Government on this platform. Many a time they have complimented Government on positive efforts to guide this nation politically and economically. So where does the hot air come from among some Zambians? Pure Hatred. And those who drag tribalism into politics, whether PF or UPND or any party for that matter, must be ashamed of themselves.
What an ugly wife. Imagine if there were no sun glasses in the world, or wet look hair, or skin lightening creams….just imagine!!!
Mmembes first wife was definitely good that is why she is no longer married to the Post donkey.
Suppose someone says that about your mom, ho would you feel? I guess you do not look in the mirror to see your appearance. Or your mirror tell you a different story.
Mapatizya! Yaba! The kitchen sink formula!
The likes of @Ndanje, Thorn… Sharon, Nubian… are a tragic reflection of the retrogressive thinking that takes Zambia further into the dark ages of political and invariably economic doom. The country seriously needs to be salvaged and rescued from such pathetic narratives. Perhaps the time of their education and the type of the same, did not avail them with the tools of sensible reflection. Many a time in the world’s history, the narrative and rhetoric of the bigots has led to untold strife and misery. We must find a way of dumping such dangerous characters and the regime they prop, into the dustbins of history.
Oh! Please, give us a huge break you good for nothing natural loser. The ballot has been and will continue eluding your power hungry wolf-like stereotypical anatomy packed with gullible rejectamenta filth.
The current Zambia demands that you, yes you and your cohorts respect the views of others on matters of national interest. Your sick view that only your likes can transform Zambia cannot be taken lightly in a civilised world.
Please remember all of us are free to express ourselves on things as we see them. If you don’t know that then you’re tragedy itself. In fact only a foo****l would interpret freedom of speech as preserve for Upnd cadres like yourself.
The world has moved on from default voters. But like I said, every dog has its day.
Today our courts are being called great. Yesterday they were being insulted as being partisan kikiki.
Yes nzelu we pay them and have a right to call them names. Judges and police are not being smart to openly support and empower the wannabe dictators because it’s only a matter of time before they too are held responsible for their crimes.
Zambia is becoming funny!
A Tonga deciding on a fate of another Tonga, its tribalism. An Easterner doing favour on another Easterner, its One Zambia One Nation….kkkkk. Let us work hard to heal the trends of this country. We might reach dead ends we will fail to handle for the next generation. An entity with 12 people – 10 are Bembas or Easteners, its fine. If the other 2 are either from Southern, Western, Northwestern, its tribalism….kkkkk, worse still, ati UPND simpathiser……kkkkk. Let us be serious for once. let us serve God with our lives, not memory of Bible scriptures and declaration of countries as Christian Nations without acts of love! The real Zambians have tribal inter-marriages that could not warrant the kind of tribal culture emerging. Nooooo!
Congrats Mrs. Mmembe
