Former Lumezi Member of Parliament Munir Zulu has been released from prison after completing his sentence and an additional 90 days, bringing to an end a period of incarceration that drew attention across political circles and social media.
Zulu’s release was confirmed by family spokesperson Chanoda Ngwira, who said the former lawmaker is now a free man and is in good health.
Ngwira said Zulu had reunited with his family following his release and is currently taking time to recover from the experience of imprisonment.
According to the family spokesperson, the former MP expressed appreciation for the support he received from family members, friends and supporters during the time he spent in prison.
Ngwira said many supporters reached out through social media to offer encouragement during the period of incarceration.
The family spokesperson said Zulu had asked that his gratitude be conveyed to those who stood by him.
Ngwira said the former lawmaker described the experience of imprisonment as a difficult period but remained grateful for the support he received.
According to the family, Zulu remains committed to contributing to national affairs through public advocacy.
Ngwira said the former MP indicated that he intends to continue speaking on national issues affecting the country and the people of Zambia.
The family spokesperson said Zulu plans to rest before making any public statements about his future plans.
Ngwira added that the former lawmaker will consult with family members before announcing his next steps.
The release of the former MP has drawn attention among supporters and political observers, particularly in Eastern Province, where Zulu previously served as Member of Parliament for Lumezi Constituency.
Family members also expressed gratitude to members of the public who supported the former lawmaker during his incarceration.
Ngwira said the encouragement received from supporters helped sustain the family during the period Zulu was serving his sentence.
Zulu himself also shared a short reflection following his release.
“As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease,” he said.
The message was interpreted by supporters as a sign of resilience following the completion of his prison term.
With his release now confirmed, Zulu returns to public life after completing the full period of imprisonment imposed by the court.
Ulufyengo. Muchisungu ati injustice. Zambia since independence in 1964 has never experienced injustice like this. Until a certain tribe came in power, now it is like they dream hate and torture of the mind to others. Time will come.
Shut up… Zambia is in 20th Century.
There is wind of change people are no longer dressed in rags like after independence in 1964
Bonse ba tulyemo just keep on whining like little babies.
Zambia is now a nation of Laws and not a nation of corruption. Every man wrongdoing got consequences.
We ought to remember that everything has got time
Certain people are very vindictive to the core
