Chingola driver jailed 30 years for running over pedestrians

court

THE Kitwe High Court has convicted a 30-year-old dangerous and unlicensed driver of Chingola for running over three pedestrians and killing them on the spot.
Masuzyo Zimba, appearing before Justice Isaac Kamwendo, pleaded guilty to three counts of dangerous driving, contrary to the Laws of Zambia.
Particulars of the case are that on June 7, 2015, in Chingola, Zimba caused the death of Isaac Chisha, George Nguni and Ekelesi Tole by driving on a public road in a dangerous manner.
On the material day around 09:00 hours, Zimba, being a taxi driver without a  driving license, was driving a Toyota Corolla when he knocked down the three pedestrians.
The trio was walking along the road when they mate their fate while Zimba was trying to overtake a truck and they all died on the spot.
Mr Justice Kamwendo said he found Zimba guilty based on his own confession and facts as presented before the court.
“Upon your own admission of the charge and that the facts are true and correct, I find you guilty and convict you accordingly,” he said.

  1. Well! Its a lesson enough to wud be offenders. But however, the law shud not only apply to the common man. Let it be applied to PF cadres as well. God is seeing wat we are doing. Kindly, let all law enforcement wings protect every individual regardless of one’s political inclination.

  2. This 30 -year-old killer has only been convicted (found guilty); he has not yet been sentenced, according to this report. The 30 years imprisonment is what you are hoping he will get, perhaps.
