Embattled NDC Consultant Chishimba Kambwili has pleaded not guilty to a charge of expressing or showing hatred, ridicule or contempt against an Indian working for a construction firm. He was arrested and charged yesterday for allegedly showing hatred, ridicule or contempt for persons because of race, tribe or place of origin or colour contrary to section 70 of the Penal Code, Cap 87 of the Laws of Zambia.

Lusaka magistrate Chitalu Mulenga has granted Kambwili K3,000 cash bail in his own recognizance with two working sureties from a reputable organisation. The matter has since been adjourned to April 8 for commencement of trial.

Meanwhile, Kambwili has failed to take plea in the other count where he is charged with disobeying lawful orders of a Security Guard at the Kenneth Kaunda International Airport because the court was not availed with the docket. He is expected to appear before court to answer to this charge as soon as the docket is presented to court.

  1. Ba CK surely having stayed in England and worked labour jobs like security and your wife still practicing as a nurse .Your children going to university under British bursary and loans .Your wife has a morgarge allowed to get a loan .You should be the last person to issue racial remarks.There is no country without foreigners in England we have a lot of Zambians doing care work or bus driving there is no racial discrimination .If you want to be president you need to know about equal opportunities.Elyo ifyo If takuya pa airport mwailangilefye ubututu you would have arranged for your wife to go through VIP .Awe you need a break otherwise you are going to end up with mental breakdown amenso yabantu yalalya.

    • Mwamba,

      Have you been out Zambian to understand what happens in London. The wife to CK did not find herself in the UK like you travel from your village to Lusaka. CK’s wife is a professional not a casual. As you are talking yourself has no job don’t know if you still live in your father’s house.

  2. the cops are so swift to swing into action when it’s someone from the other side. meanwhile there’s a bunch of p fools with a lot of dirt on their hands and they haven’t been issued arrest warrants
    it’s a shame when a country’s cops and judicial system are a mere puppet of the ruling party
    there are cs that the Zambian people needs answers to…such as the findings of those who killed that unza student, the many fires at various markets, esp Soweto….
    recent pf cadres parliament demonstrators had no permit, thus illegal. if it were an opposition party a lot of them would have been arrested.
    it’s like in Zambia to have any rights you’ve to be pf, what country is that, and you see ka l ungu reading speeches at un things that are totally what’s actually happening on the ground

    Guilty as charged! On this one, Kambwili really issued discriminatory racial profiling statements. Not sure if he meant it in his inner conscience or he was just playing to the gallery… I think he needs to be made an example of zero tolerance for racial and ethnic hate crimes. There are better civilised ways to convey our opinions.

    I’m surprised though that the charge wasn’t against the Constitution rather than that despised criminal order act archaic and colonial law.

    I’m also surprised that HH and company are actually siding with Kambwili on this one under a misguided belief of political persecution. Nah man by you standing by him, you are endorsing his discriminatory behaviour. Isn’t this the same dude who issued discriminatory and disparaging remarks about Tongas? So he…

      …So he really is a tribalist and racist person. Point is you don’t have to support everything just because you are both in the opposition. A true leader condemns things when they are wrong regardless of who the perpetrator is.

  6. Ba ck after making monies under pf and trying to attract hh so that he can be given a post in 2021 if hh wins election
