A former PF member assaulted by seven PF cadres in 2009 has asked the Lusaka Magistrates Court to bring PF leader Michael Sata and three others to court for their involvement in his abduction and beating.
Samson Zulu says while four PF cadres have been prosecuted and convicted for his assault; Mr Sata, Roy Kasama and Clement Chinga have been gone with impunity.
Mr Zulu in his complaint addressed to the Chief Resident Magistrate says he wants the three remaining suspects to be arrested and brought to court for justice to be done.
He says in his complaint that he is ready to comply with the provisions of the criminal procedure code and put his complaint on oath if required by the court.
Mr Zulu claims he was abducted by seven PF cadres on June 5th 2009 who paraded him before Mr Sata on the orders of the PF leader.
He says he has communicated the whereabouts of the three suspects to police but is surprised that no arrests have been made so far.
Meanwhile Patriotic Front-PF cadre Judge Ngoma has been denied bail by the Lusaka High Court and has been sent to the jail.
High Court judge Emelia Sunkutu dismissed Ngoma’s application on grounds that it lacked merit.
Mrs Sunkutu ruled that neither did Ngoma advance any compelling grounds nor exceptional circumstance to render his bail application successful.
She also noted that although Ngoma was earlier granted bail by Lusaka High Court Judge Hamaundu, such a verdict is not binding on her but merely persuasive.
On Monday Judge Sunkutu upheld Ngoma’s incarceration for assault occasioning bodily harm.
Judge Sunkutu quashed all the three grounds of appeal that Mr Ngoma advanced.
She noted that the Subordinate Court was on firm ground to convict Ngoma because the offence he has been convicted of, by law requires a custodial sentence.
Judge Sunkutu observes that Ngoma acted in a barbaric manner to assault the former party members Sam Zulu and Mubanga Chileshe.

Just let Mr. Sata attend to his election campaign. If he loses or wins, then such issues can come to the fore. At the moment, if a step is taken to arrest him, this will be more destabilising than the alternative. Most likely, he will lose both the election and the case anyway….
Ba Samson Zulu naimwe, you want attention from MMD?
IWE SAMSON YOU ARE WASTEING YOUR TIME ABOUT TAKING SATA TO COURT,WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU IF PF WINS THE ELECTION ? WHAT YOU ARE AFTER IS JUST MON EY FROM MMD
I remember watching Sam Zulu and Mubanga Chileshe being beaten on TV, it was bad, these guys must all be sent to jail, including Satan. No one is above the law.Â
Why should Sata be protected from facing the Courts of Law. Sata has instituted numerous legal claims against his perceived enemies. The myth that Sata is untachable melted away due to his childish behaviour. We all viewed the merciless treatment that Sata’s sent gangsters meted at Zulu. Let the crook face the Courts of Law and restore sanity to this peaceful country.
Judge Ngoma elo yazanda nomba. Sometimes acting out of anione-anione is not good. The Law has taken its natural course on you. No one will talk for you my friend. Now you are going to feel the pain of missing sex is prison. You will find the neighbour has substituted you on your conjugal rights when you come back after three years. Meanwhile, some of us who only watches from the terraces will continue enjoying our conjugal rights quitely. Kulibonesha mwamona nomba!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I always remember those “hard blows” you unleashed on the defenceless Sam Zulu. Enjoy your stay my friend!!!!
the two faced and partial law of zambia has once again revealed its nakedness. not too many moons away, a medical doctor in the name of Musonda shot some chap in the head and the sentence, a cool nine months, yet the interpretation was that his shooting was intended to maim, implying part of the shot at chap must have been dismembered. alas, he is still out on bail and this ngoni chap is going in the gaol for a punch? atase bane, i will come and erase the rubbish happening in the courts of law. aya masobelo bane. hey dont forget, akapilipili ka lucy changwe bounced a 10mills cheque but kali innocent. may apa kaba expelled
No ways chief. we are wining the tripartite election this year. Shut up as we are not interested in your stories, let sata in piece as he has to concentrate in wining the election.
Useless story…these reporter who use their stomachs to report>>>>>>>>
I wish I was able to translate George Orwell’s Animal Farm in all major languages of Zambia!
@6 John Chinena. This convict will miss his conjugal rights but I bet he’ll find plenty of the unnatural sex in prison. No need to worry about it afterall MCS wants the laws that recognise gayism implemented in Zambia.
MCS did not part take in the assault but can still be cited as an accessory before the fact since his cadres were acting at his command. If there is overwhelming evidence that he procurred thugs to assault the victims, then he is more than liable.
kupusa kupusa upuba and some of you fanatics in here will go that way
Political prisoner Judge Ngoma. Three years for some small kafwafwa, shame.
I hope I will go back to enjoying newz from the so called public media after September, 20th 2011.
sORRY ON SATA MUCHENGA DDP WROTE TO ZULU.THAT THE DDP CAN TAKE THIS MATTER TO COURT,BECAUSE OF THE TIMINING.WHY SHOULD IT COME UP NOW DURING ELECTIONS.CHALWE THE MMD YOUTH CHIRMAN IS ALSO ON BILL FOR assaulted REPORTERS AT THE AIRPORT. HE SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN BILLL.WHY IS HIS CASE TAKING SO LONG ANOTHER WHO SHOULD GO IN
“She noted that the Subordinate Court was on firm ground to convict Ngoma because the offence he has been convicted of, by law requires a custodial sentence” – Judge Sunkutu. Between the lines it’s like the Judge is saying “….especially at this time of the year 2011…”. But on a serious note, this PF cadre is abusing the court process, how does he think that he can survive jail when he was captured on camera? PF is known for telling lies even when the TV pictures, video and audio tape recordings tell it all. Remember Mr Sata’s gay interview with Dutch journalists?
“A former PF member assaulted by seven PF cadres in 2009 has asked the Lusaka Magistrates Court to bring PF leader Michael Sata and three others to court for their involvement in his abduction and beating”. Not this time ba Samson Zulu naimwe, spare that man for the elections, you can have him on 21st September 2011.
Iwe ka Samson who are you to voice out at our 11th hour! You must have been a nonsense for Sata to have paraded you. Come 21st September we shall start with PARADING RB then Dola then ka Chanda Chimbwi!!!! mukatantama…
