National Democratic Congress (NDC) leader Chishimba Kambwili has pleaded not guilty to one count of defaming President Edgar Lungu.
This is contrary to section 69 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the laws of Zambia.
Kambwili pleaded not guilty when he appeared before Magistrate Lameck Mwale.
Meanwhile, Magistrate Mwale has granted Kambwili a K50, 000 bail in his own recognizance with two working sureties.
Lawyers Christopher Mundia, Gilbert Phiri, Keith Mwemba and Clement Andeleki are representing Kambwili in this matter.
Kambwili has been in police custody since Wednesday.
The matter will come up for mention on September 13, next month and trial in this matter has been set for September 30, 2019.
Kambwili’s other case involving Mwamona Engineering has also been adjourned to September 6, 2019 for continued trial.The magistrate handling this case is Mwaka Mikalile. This is the case where his company was allegedly paid US $566,579.75 by a Chinese company in a transaction over which he has been charged with abuse of authority of office, forgery, uttering a false document, obtaining pecuniary advantage, and possession of huge amounts of money suspected to be proceeds of crime.
Scores of NDC members led by NDC Vice president Joseph’s Akafumba were on hand to give solidarity to the NDC leader.
im.puti iisula taibula kubwekeshapo!!!
Did the PF’s dogs make a citizens arrest instructed by their bi’tch?
Good development, now let’s wait for a nolle.
Kikikikikikijukija iwe @1 Kadoma atishani. Isoselo shacibemba na mapinda.
Yaba.
So CKinsultor has added a ka another court proceeding to his list. Ala ni nature, umusalula umwana uyu. Ati ba opposition leader. Surely he is likely to defame again. Is that a way to popularity? Kaya.
Kuwayawayafye.
Popcorns please!
Afyelwe fye aletukana.
Ebanina.
I withdraw all insults on Mumbi Phiri, but Lord that woman is a sinner.
I never liked Kambwili, but I like his Bemba expressions.
He is innocent. He talked about dogs from Chawama not from Chimwemwe or from State House.
Kambwili shut up and start inspiring Zambians. Insults will never take you anywhere. I don’t expect an aspiring presidential candidate to continue insulting the sitting president. KWENA EDGAR CIKULU KAMBWILI BA MUCITA. I am sure you are feeling the pinch of being outside government. You are imagining how you were stealing and you are not part of the game
CK didn’t identify President Edgar Chagwa Lungu as a Dog from Chawama so there is no Defamation there!
US $566,579.75 koswe mumpoto uyu?
Aleti chwi chwi chwi
Do you think it is/was only CK?
Open up, this is glimpse of what is happening in this GRZ, that you don’t see.
These guys are playing with US dollars as thhough these were Zimbabwean dollars, that is a lot of money even by US standards.
But ma Zambians ni ndwii chabe
Awa Lungu tuhela Kambwili, hakiyena yanaku cisize busunso bwa manawa bobuku taiselize ncwa ya lipinya za fuchu. Walu ninkiseza kanamunungu tuwe, zwaaaa
hahaha, kemunyenma bashemi! namalyanga yani.
@Musa, then you think the chawama people are happy being called dogs?Why didn’t he talk about dogs in Roan, sha.
He said “this dog from “Chawama”
So i don’t see why a human should feel insulted if they were not a dog at all.
HE WILL BE LUCKY IF HE APPEARS FOR MENTION ON 13/09/2019 OTHERWISE CHRISTOPHER MUNDIA WILL BE PRESENTING A DEATH CERTIFICATE TO THE MAGISTRATE BECAUSE THIS BASTARD DOES NOT DESERVE TO LIVE. EVEN IF HE DID NOT MENTION ANY ONE’S NAME, IT STILL MEANS HE WAS INSULTING ALL CHAWAMA RESIDENTS. DEATH TO THIS *****.
@Musa, one does not need to expressly mention the name of a claimant in an action of defamation. There is what is known as innuendo…. When you watch the video clip it is clear that the object of Mr. Kabwili’s defamatory remarks was directed at the President.
@Musa
@Musa – Innuendo
n. from Latin innuere, “to nod toward.” In law it means “an indirect hint.” “Innuendo” is used in lawsuits for defamation (libel or slander), usually to show that the party suing was the person about whom the nasty statements were made or why the comments were defamatory.
Kambwili and all the opposition giving him solidarity by insulting all of us who live and cpme from the compounds as dogs will be taught a lesson never to be forgotten in 2021. We the compound people according to Kambwili and HH are dogs sure, what then will follow from dogs in Chawama, Mandebvu, Matero, Chaisa, Bauleni, Kalingalinga, Mtendere, Buchi, Kanfisa, Munali, Kanfinsa, Chimwemwe, Kamitondo, Wusakile, Kamuchanga, Butondo, Kanyama, Chainda, Mpatamato, Roan, … i think we will show them infact we can bite!
I wouldnt take it as an insult. Why should someone impose himself as a dog from Chawama. There are so many dogs in Chawama and some party have chosen it to mean their own leader – shame. Its the members themselves who are insulting their leader as they have taken him for a dog from Chawama. This party can mislead people. To them whenever CK is insulting and using vulgar language they take it that its being offloaded on their leader. Its clear that some party are taking their leader for a d.. . If not why bother!!! Next time am sure he will talk about dogs in Roan. Kikikiki!!!!!
Disaster!!!!!
There is No Defamation here. This is Persecution by Prosecution. Even in the Zambia State Captured Courts there is no Case to answer here. PF Cadres like Mumbi Phiri are just annoyed with LAZ Petitioning the PF Amendment Bill No.10. They thought it is a walk in the Park. It isn’t!
After all, there are so many chawamas in the country which includes the one in solwezi but which one are referring to?
Petty politics at play. If anything this is a civil case that should be filled by the victims”chawama dogs”
Kambwili is capitalizing on PF insecurities to gain publicity.
The only victims are the poor policemen, they have more important work to do.
We all need a dose of maturity
Docile Zambians while our friends had the Arab spring and have brought about change through revolution. You are busy clowning around while starving. That is why my white wife Always says most southern Africans are not like me. She says she doesn’t understand why she is so lucky to have a courageous and principled man like me. You disgust me Zambians
Would it hurt to stand by your words? Why do they always plead not guilty? If you do something, act like you mean it. These are provocations designed to cause turmoil in the country. They can’t win via the poll so they try to create violence.
Maybe a brave Mr Speaker in parliament will refer to him as Mr Dog Kambwili to see if he will feel that is suitable honourable behaviour.
It is said, “Don’t give the devil attention, or he will give you direction.”
Please, please, if you are not a “popi”, why should you be so affected?
Nice one
ba neez, how do you describe your wife by race? so it means you are a dog from were? please take your wife to were ever and be undisgusted by leaving us Zambians! we mbw……we!!!!
You seem very upset but I understand as I can see from your flag that you are based in Zambia. Therefore the hunger must be hammering you. A hungry man is an angry man. Meanwhile here I am enjoying life with a woman you can only dream of having. Infact the closest you ever get to such a woman is by watching the TV
Stop insulting each other please let CK continue with his insults but alas he is going no where so the insults and bitterness hooooooo hooo hooo
Politics of insults don’t work. they just land you in jail and drain your cash, before you know it, u would be broke.
Pa z we are like a dog iya umfwa imifyoli 20, we don’t think just because we are found of supporting useless things, if something has gone wrong , there is no need of being supporting ifiko,
