The Cyber Security Agency opened an inquiry on Sunday at 08:00 hours after receiving a report that a Facebook page identified as “Zambia for all 2026” had published a digitally manipulated image showing the Republican President in a coffin, while Vice President Mutale Nalumango appeared to be paying tribute.
Authorities said the alleged cyber offence occurred in Lusaka at an unknown time. Investigations led cyber officers to Libala South Water Works, where 44-year-old Zimba was apprehended.
Police seized a Samsung A24 mobile phone believed to have been used in connection with the post. Preliminary investigations indicated that Zimba was one of the administrators of the Facebook page in question.
According to authorities, the image did not only misrepresent facts but was allegedly designed to mislead members of the public and cause unnecessary alarm.
Following his arrest, Zimba was taken to Lusaka Central Police Station, where he remains in custody as investigations continue. Authorities stated that the inquiry is still active and that further arrests may be made as cyber experts analyse the page’s activity.
Kikikikikiki! What is the charge? Imagining the president is dead. A very serious offense in superstitious Africa. As serious as overtaking the presidential motorcade
Indeed it’s pathetic appears to be different strokes for differnt folks
Is this why he didnt move to state house ?? Just asking ???
You two dimwits dont seem to understand the importance and sensitivity of the Presideny
Depict your wife or child in a coffin and experience your in-laws serious headbutts
So now you can’t even create a caricature of HH lest you will be arrested and locked up. Imagine if it was in the time of roy Clarke, he would have had a 100 cases by now.
Thats not funny.Its taboo in our African culture and disconcerting to see a sitting president and Commander-In-Chief lying in a coffin,almost treasonous
