Former Lands Minister, Gladys Nyirongo, has been sentenced to four years imprisonment with hard labour for corruption.

Lusaka Magistrates, Sharon Newa, sentenced Nyirongo, 51, of house number 10 Chavuma drive, Highridge in Kabwe to two years imprisonment with hard labour in the first count and four years in the second count.

Nyirongo was charged with two counts of abuse of authority while in office contrary to Section 99(1) of the Penal Code Chapter 87 of the laws of Zambia.

In the first account it was alleged that on dates unknown but between January 1, 2006 and February 2007, Nyirongo, who was employed in the public service as Minister of Lands abused her position when she directed a Ministry of Lands officer Daisy Mulenga Msoka to generate offer letters in the Foxdale to selected individuals.

The court ruled that Nyirongo contravened land alienation procedures when she offered land to Walinase Nyirongo, Janet Isaac Nyirongo, Peter Kapolyo, Peter Ngulube and Precious Ndhlovu. Other beneficiaries were Doris Mulenga Mubanga Nuyunji, Mickey Mukubu, Mwelwa Kamfwa, Bruce Chipasha and Dingwall Hayden.

In the second count, Nyirongo, whilst serving as Lands Minister, abused her authority when she directed junior technical officer in the ministry of agriculture and cooperatives to sub-divide Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines Farm No. F/309a to create property No. L/1934/M for herself.

  6. iye bapastor…this is what i have been saying. Imwe please Reverends and pastors do estimeem urselve to high. u are sinners in the first place. there is no special annoitment. all christians are annoited of the holy ghost. so just be pa easy. remove the titles and come down and stop stealing money from poor people in the name of tithes and offerings you are not levites or children or desendants of Aaron to claim it. Since u re thieves from church in the name of God its not surprising when u enter politics avoid ur true colors. Nevers is the same. Fustina is another, Pule another next its another Pastor or bishop. thieves in pulpits people give money to the poor and not these crooks.

  9. Too bad 4 our Rev. God can push 4 wrong doings if u knnw the truth. God doesn’t take someone to judgement b4 warning. Let this lesson to all our leaders.

  12. Number 6,Pastors are human just like you and me and so they are bound to commit sin.The problem is society which puts them at a very high level and believe they are next to Jesus and expect that they will not make errors of judgment.Remember the story of Jesus and that woman who was about to be stoned? Jesus said,’If any one has not sinned let him be the first to throw a stone at the woman!’According to the bible not a single person threw a stone at her,they all walked away!Jesus forgave her and told her not to sin again! Pastor Nyirongo made a very serious error of judgment so let God be the judge and not you!Are you sure you are more perfect than all these people you are degrading?

  15. BUT THE LAND THAT WAS GIVEN TO PLM´S DAUGHTER IS NOT MENTIONED….THIS IS WHAT WE CALL SELECTIVE JUSTICE…ACTUALLY SHE WAS A THREAT KUMUPANDO THATS WHY HER CASE WENT SO FAST TO DISGRACE HER AND PUNCTURE HER MUSCLES.

  17. 12. Big Joe YOU HAVE HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD pastors are human there was nothing like covering up wiyh Nyirongo the case was in court and so she also used lawyers, it is withing her right.I belive even when she was abusing the authority as its been said she could have misjudged thinking its a privaledge. I cant blam her for that these thing many people do them.Lets not Judge…she is human.to err is human..but to forgive is divine.
    One thing for sure Chiluba will not be found guilty and not go to prison evidence disappears and most of it is not there.I feel sad For ba Gladys i pray that she should be released immedately if they cant now then she should appeal and win the case.

  18. So its six years imprisonment with hard labour, this is better it will serve as a deterent to all those that in leadership today. Public Offices must be treated as such.

  19. Very true about this pastors, they are the biggest crooks. I agree with #6 the whole bible only gives authority for people to preach to the levites and their power to preach was taken away and replaced by one person. Oraganised religion is just modern day pharasee’s.

    And they need to cage the other corrupt individuals at the ministry of lands. The former minister isn’t the only one thats a crook there, the whole place is full of crooks.

  20. ****correction to number 19. it should say only people given authority to lead others and be intercedersnot preach.

  21. =d>=d>=d> Yes, and they went… to jail. haha.
    Levy’s minister, his legacy. ~X(
    Al least some justice served. She is going to feel what it feels to be on the other side of the food chain.

  22. SHE IS NOT JUST GLADYS BUT REVERAND GLADYS NYIRONGO.
    DONT FORGET SUCJ TITLES WHEN WRITING ARTICLES.
    ANYWAY,LET HER GO IN. SHE WILL HEP SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS IN JAIL.
    I HOPE SO.

  23. i think the die is cast,we are very anxious about ba former kateka ala ndelanguluka ngashi.And one fact is, he never even improved the situation in the prisons.Very sad indeed 🙁

  24. Wapya Dora…Dora do not listen to nyama soya..he has some immunity although we have set precedent for that and stripped it for some. Dont think you will be protected for good, it could be as soon as 24 months from today as government could change by then. Learn from Gladys Dora..I shudder to think how that make up would survive in chimbokaila when you become ma bwana’s muchopo

  25. thats very good! Your prayers were not answered! do you still believe in God now? Reverand my foot. you are just a whole bunch of hypocrites ! all of you revs and pastors! You will have alot of time to pray in jail. Good luck! see ya in 4yrs time. You will probably get TB in jail and die soon after. isnt that really nice so that you can meet your creator sooner than all of us!

  28. TO Jesus no sin is bigger than another,some of the bloggers are big vipondo apa.#25 nichani mwati uli mushe may be you will die b4 her, ala Jesus nimaliyotola tekanya maningi:)>-

  29. Kafupi should join her in chains soon. Kale twa yamba ukulolela umulandu uyu ati upwe.

    Corruption brings national progress backwards. Better sort them out one by one..

  31. This is what makes religion confusing. As a revrend she was preaching being guided by god. So why did god guide her to corruption ?. Even the husband is a pastor! Fake Christians !
    Phony God

  33. Typical of PF thuggerly.You spend all your time with a thug, you end up becoming thugs too.PF MPs have now turned into Scorpion Kadolis against each other.And these are the thugs thinking the smart Zambian citizenry would risk the country with them.

    PF MPs fight at Parliament

  34. PF MPs fight at Parliament

    Written by Ernest Chanda and Agness Changala

    PATRIOTIC Front (PF) members of parliament for Munali and Kawambwa, Mumbi Phiri and Elizabeth Chitika-Mulobeka respectively yesterday physically fought at Parliament Building in Lusaka following a tiff in the House.

  35. And Phiri was found at University Teaching Hospital (UTH) undergoing medical check up at the casualty because she sustained bruises and bites on her body.

    Phiri and Mulobeka exchanged blows around 11:00 hours on the right hand corridor of the Parliament main entrance, about four metres from the side entrance in the presence of onlooking security personnel and members of parliament.

    Parliamentary security personnel struggled to pacify the situation and only managed to stop the fight after about three minutes of fierce exchange of blows between the two female parliamentarians.

  36. After the fight, the author picked Phiri’s shoes and a red handbag, and gave them to the security personnel who later handed the items to the parliamentarian.

    Mulobeka had her outfit stripped around the neck and below the knee, while Phiri complained of scratches on the back.

    After being separated, the two parliamentarians still hurled insults at each other, with Mulobeka saying: “ndekepaya aka, kalenseting’a sana [I will kill her she is tempting me a lot],” while Phiri shouted: “You bi****! I don’t know why this woman hates me.”

    The two parliamentarians were then whisked away in different directions by parliamentary security officers.

  37. And according to a source at Parliament Building, the two parliamentarians’ differences started from the chamber over a question that Phiri asked communications minister Dora Siliya after the latter presented her ministerial statement on the status of ZAMTEL.

    Phiri wanted to know whether the government would make sure former Zambian Airways employees would not be paid one ngwee each as terminal benefits, just as former Zambia Airways employees were paid one dollar each 15 years ago.

    Mumbi first declared interest in the question saying her spouse had been an employee of Zambia Airways and she had seen how much he suffered.

  38. According to the source, Mulobeka allegedly made offensive comments towards Phiri.

    It was at this point that Phiri got offended and left the House crying.

    Mulobeka later waylaid Phiri and the fight ensued.

    However, another source said the rivalry between the two had been there since Mulobeka and others decided to sit on the National Constitutional Conference (NCC).

    The source said the situation was worsened when the Supreme Court deferred ruling in the appeal case involving expelled PF members of parliament.

    The source said after the deferment, the expelled PF parliamentarians bragged that they were untouchable and that changed the mood between them and their counterparts.

  39. And later in the day, Phiri underwent medical check up at the UTH because she sustained bruises and bites on her body.

    The visibly shocked and annoyed Phiri said she could not even recall what led to her being bitten and scratched.

    Phiri complained that Mulobeka had even torn her expensive suit, which she wore at the time of the attack.

    She said after she was bitten and scratched Chipangali MMD member of parliament Vincent Mwale drove her in his vehicle to Kabulonga where she managed to obtain a police report from Kabulonga Police Post before she was taken to UTH to undergo medical tests.

    Phiri demanded that both herself and Mulobeka undergo HIV test because she knew both her st

  41. Phiri said she was very disappointed with Mulobeka’s actions and wondered what happened to those outside Parliament if a person like her could be subjected to that treatment.

    “If I can be beaten in Parliament, how about a person like you and the others. I demand for an HIV test to be carried for the sake of my safety and my marriage,” Phiri said while shedding tears.

    Phiri said Mulobeka had the nerve to do what she did because she was a ‘rebel’ PF parliamentarian who did not represent anyone in Parliament.

    She said the battle had just started and that she would not rest until the law took its course.

    “I want justice to prevail and if it means taking the law in my own hands, it w

  42. What is wrong in that? She is punished because she has no connections. All ministers do this. We buy land from you people. But poor amature! No one to defend her.
    We have a very corrupt legal system. If it was, big shot like Chiluba and Chungu would not be frequenting courts for nothing.
    Why the poor lady? I am sure it’s because she does not know how to play the game.

  43. Police spokesperson Bonny Kapeso confirmed receiving the report of the case involving Phiri and Mulobeka.

    Kapeso said police had since opened a file of inquiry.

    “Since matters of Parliament are handled by the Speaker, as police we have just opened a file of inquiry for keeping the records,” said Kapeso.

  44. For me, she is innocent. The only mistake she made was to go against the status quo.
    One day, we will meet as equals. Then you will see how little corrupt she was.
    They want to disrepute the woman of God. She improved our sport please.

  45. I am sure Dola you are seeing what is happening! You will very soon follow the steps of Gladys. Rev., The sentence is just too light for you. You are very very lucky! 15years could have been better.

  46. #28 me1.is nyirongo ur mother? maybe thats how you got the scholarship to china. she is a gonna mwaice. things will never be the same for her. you get what you pay for

  47. 2bad 4 u Rev. Nyirongo. This judgement shows that we are doing away with the animal farm kind of society in Zambia. We no longer have special animals. We should all face justice when we commit crimes. Nyirongo started this whole saga. She alleged that Sichone -the forme Lands Commissioner- was corrupt. She fogot that she was living in a glass house.

  48. Open letter to Dora the explorer

    My dear, you have no immunity, dont be misled by RB when he leaves office you will be wide open again and the law will visit you! jalibu iyo ikalubana in prison.

  50. Observer those are individuals with different tastes. They do not represent what PF stands for. MMD is full plunders and corrupt individuals from the man at plot 1 now it is Doris Liya picking the same mistakes that she will pay dearly after leaving office. The laws in Zambia are becoming more stiffer and people in higher offices need to check their backs. Ruphia will be like Chiluba.

  51. Next is Shikapwasha for abuse of authority, he once deportated some Lodge owner a few years ago on flimsy ground. The Lodge owner won the case in court on appeal, deportation was overturned, next was the schemed deportation of Kalaki, Roy Clarke, that also backfired. people in authority must not use offices to settle scores. Sorry ba Nyirongo but you helped yourself to too many plots whilst I have failed unless to buy from vultures that have it aquired abait illegally.

  53. I have a problem believing she is corrupt. But she gone just like that. Hidden in the reverend. Mumba Got a brown evelope and that was it.

  54. People you remember, RB going to mfuwe on holiday to plan how to instigate the corrupt regime Zambia has never faced. Why giving contract to a company with links to Ruphia ‘s sons. where is are the opposition leaders to challenge the MMD govt which is now stealing and encouraging corruption and neptilism by Banda. He was sacked by KK when he was MD of NAMBOARD for corruption and tribalism and these are true stories beyond any doubt.His corruption is a in born thing. Now he is troting the African continent when world leaders have reduced their travels unless where there is the benefit of that country. We are being ruled by unpopular govt with no vision it is like ruled by a headless chicken.

  56. CAN YOU PLEASE PUT PICTURES OF BOTH PHIRI AND MULOBEKA IN THE PAPER?
    BECAUSE IT LOOKS VERY CLEAR THAT PHIRI IS A BETTER AND SMARTER LOOKING WOMAN THAN MULOBEKA. AS A RESULT MULOBEKA IS VERY JELOUSY OF
    PHIRI AND ALWAYS TRYING TO FIND A WAY OF ATTACKING HER TO DISGRACE HER TO SATISFY HER JELOUSINESS. MULOBEKA TORE PHIRI’S EXPENSIVE SUIT. MULOBEKA HAS DEMONSTRATED THE BEHAVIOUR OF A SAVAGE OF A WOMAN JUST
    LIKE THE ONE I ONCE WORKED WITH HERE IN LONDON BY THE NAME OF GRACE
    CHAMA PUPU WHO TERORISED THE CLEANERS BECAUSE THEY WERE BEAUTIFUL AND
    GOOD LOOKING WHO DRESSED BETTER THAN HER TOO THINKING THEY WERE AFTER
    HER JOBLESS DRUNKEN BOYFRIEND WHO JUST USED HER AND NOW DUMPED HER.

  58. I HOPE THIS SAVAGE OF MULOBEKA WOMAN WILL BE DEALT WITH SEVERELY.
    SHE IS NOT FIT TO BE A PARLIAMENTARIAN IF SHE GOES ATTACKING OTHER
    WOMEN JUST BECAUSE THEY LOOK AND DRESS BETTER THAN HER. MULOBEKA MUST BE EXPELLED FROM HER SEAT. SHE IS TOO MUCH OF A SAVAGE AND JELOUSY CREATURE. HERE IN LONDON I WAS GRACE CHAMA PUPE’S VICTIM WHEN SHE ONCE OWNED A CLEANING AGENCY A VICTIM OF HERS. SHE ACCUSED
    HER BOYFRIEND THEN PETER MUMBA THAT HE WAS AFTER ME. I HAD TO LEAVE
    HER CLEARNING JOB WHICH I DID PART TIME. GRACE IS A SAVAGE JUST LIKE MULOBEKA TERORISING ANY GOOD LOOKING WOMAN IN LONDON. I KNOW WHAT PHIRI IS GOING THRU SHE MUST BE BETTER THAN MULOBEKA. PUNISH MULOBEKA SEVERELY.

  60. I blaim Mulobeka she is the savage woman who started the fight
    just because Phiri wore a better suit than hers. CAN WE SEE PHOTOS
    OF THESE WOMEN PLEASE? Mulobeka should be punished severely for starting a fight. Mulobeka is one of those women who feel very proud when they do things like that. while others they just cant stand savages like her. She tore her suit and scrutched her am sure on the face and all other visible places including the bites. What a savage Mulobeka is. MULOBEKA MUST BE PUNISHED SEVERELY AND HER PARTY MUST
    REMOVE HER FROM HER POSITION. Where does she come from a woman of such behaviour. DEAL WITH HER SOON BEFORE SHE ATTACKS ANOTHER I MEAN THIS MULOBEKA SAVAGE.

  63. well first it was Jahman maiko zulu sent for six month,now its the minister..wow man the law is taking its course

  64. “Former Lands Minister, Gladys Nyirongo, has been sentenced to four years imprisonment with hard labour for corruption”.
    LT liar, she has been sentenced to a “FOUR YRS SIMPLE IMPRISONMENT”:((

  65. I feel so disgraced that my name sake Grace Chama Pupe is as a savage as she is. I HEAR HER BOYFRIEND DUMPED HER. So what was all
    that terrorising fellow women over a man who you picked from the
    bench in the pack where he used to sleep? How ugly are you that you
    have to go and pick a homeless drunk? Those people love their lives
    in the park drinking all day all night did you think you would TERM
    him? We also heard that he sold your lorry at a very cheap price married another woman pa Zed where you left him to sell it and ate all the money? You met your match. AND YOU MULOBEKA STOP IT. Leave
    beautiful women alone pa Zed apo. They should chuck you out you savage.

  67. I once stayed in Kabwe from late 90’s upto the time she was fired. She used to own a church in chowa, just opposite chowa police station, adjucent to Paglory teachers training institute. She joined Heritage party together with Patrick Bulasho Musonda, later on defected to ruling party and stood on the same ticket and both won. Every time she was in a car with her husband would stay on a back sit and the husband would driving like was her driver. That left me shedding tears.

    I imagined if these ministrial positions applies even in homes. Anyway back to her abuse of authority, she mush just reap what she sowed.

  71. No worry Rupiah will go in when his time comes. This time he may think he is on top of world. But he is stinking of corruption..and he will be netted. the fight against corruption is ours the people. No president will stop it.

  72. Dora sily is beatifull but i wonder why a beatifull woman is doing like this.For Gladys she could have been forgiven since she is the REV.Anyway no one is above the law.This is what will happen to Rupia and Henry Banda.

  73. All animals r equal but some r more equal than others. Its sad for Nyirongo but atleast she wont be lonely coz more officials in govt r r joining her soon. Since the precedent has been set.

  75. Bravo Judicial. Now the Judicial has power to bite those who held high offices on our behalf. Its not that these office bearers are supreme than the rest of the population. Its one postion for one person at a time. We all can’t be MPs. Generals. PS’s etc. This should make the likes of Dora and others that they days are numbered. Nobody is above the law, you break the law for any reason then the long arm of the law will catch up you. The law enforcement agencies can perform wonders given the necessary logistics and incentives. Lets us wait and see how the other cases will be disposed off. It will be a mockery only to learn she has been pardoned by RB after serving 6months or so. Let her feel.

  76. when the Rev was being investigated,the OP blocked her from accessing her office. this, i think was intended to make her a scape goatbecause if you remember a daughter to someone was also implicated but nothing has happened to her.i only hope Dora has learnt a lesson..

  77. The truth of the matter is that there are crooked pastors and straight ones so let us not generalise.All those rejoicing over reverend gladys dont think for one moment that bcoz a pastor has “sinned” then you have an excuse not to listen to preachers.One day we will also stand b4 God and he will judge us on the very basis of what is taught by these very same pastors (as long as its not contrary to the bible)

  78. Bena Zed, emotional over half info. Please lets wait for full info on the fracus before we condemn either lady. I think none of the ladies is ugly at all.

  80. My advise to .. and Ka Dora, since they seem to be very powerfull for now, they should use their powers to improve the conditions of their future mansions (Prisones,ififungo,amajele)if you want swimming pools muma jele this is the time to get to work.

  81. Mumbi Phiri is no doubt a very hard working MP.but this Mulobeka …is just jealous of her.Let her just tell us what contribution she has made to the NCC and to her constituency.

  82. oh oh, makani yahenipa sono mama. muphikenge jele sono. mwaona kuti vila mukachita kuchimbila kufuma ku heritage party vikaba nga chisomo. nkhumanya kuti akulu aMiyanda lelo bakuseka noseka bakuti sipapa?

  83. #65 Faith Chama Ldn and all others, this is not a forum for failed/ilicit love affairs. Yes, once in a while we joke, but we don’t go to an extent where we name names. Go to the local court for such matters, please.

  84. BIG JOE,
    WHY SHOULD YOU PROTECT SUCH A CRIMANAL,DON’T YOU THINK SHE DESERVE IT? OR MAY YOU MIGHTY HAVE COME FROM THE SAME ROOTS, LET ME KNOW.

  85. Let her serve and investgate and lock up all the others involved. As for Phiri and Mulobeka, they shud both be expelled becoz they did not show maturity in their behaviour. Maseting ni ya ba fana.

  88. What has landed Nyirongo in problem is the fact that she exposed what Sichone was doing. Thats how come you see that Sichone is still a free man despite his involvement in land scam. The law in zambia favours those who have strong goverment backing. Katele is busy today with NCC and i dont think he will ever go to jail he is a strong allie of ….

  89. What has landd Paster Nyirongo in Prison is Political Prostitution she engaged herself into. I am sure general Miyanda must be having a last laugh :))**==

  90. wapya munzi wat did she do to rb and group for her not to saved like the other corrupt leaders.thats wat you get for hanging with a wrong croud.

  93. # 88 walasa fye nga mukela.Corruption fifgt in the previous govt targeted certain individuals who were not succumbing to the powers be.Wer waiting if the task force will also investigate the Mwanawasa(MHSRIP)Regime

  95. I know No one is above the law nangu you are a Rev you haveee to be dealt with.I really feel sorry for Rev Nyirongo she was my neighbour in Kabwe hope balipwisha Bond balekula.But as much as I feel sorry for for her,she has to pay for what she did to us who voted for her when she was under heritage party.My dear Rev you really betrayed us and you are now paying for what you did to us.My main worry is Why is it that real plunders and Chief corrupted pipo are still free ayini someone to help me.I know Kafupi we come from the same province and sin is sin so you should also pay for your sins.

    Matworld.
    Phd holder in :-j:-j:-j:-j:-j

  96. it is not good to condemn. Jesus’ preaching was never about condemanation. it is said other pipoz sins are visible and pipo can see dem and laugh like what pipo are doing at the reverend. other pipoz sins are hidden, they are commtted in dark hours, at dark corners or rooms or just in the heart. they are sins also. so we shud not laugh at what has happened to pipo like the reverend and others. some of us commit or have committed atrocities, fortunately or unfortunately no one knows. But God has seen/is seeing, and the devil is aware too. May God deliver us.

  99. Dora should know that the licked letter from the AG will sooner than later come back and bite her in her fat butt! People never learn, especially MMD thugs, nothing can ever be sharp enough to drive sence into their thick skulls that its a harzadous occupation to steal from Zambians. She can mess around now but had I been her, I would ask Gladys Nyirongo or learn from her experience. Banda is out come next polls and Dora will be in court defending herself over this case. We will hire Mutembo to prosecute and given the overwhelming evidence, wina azalila live so muchimbokaila.

  101. # 48-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x8-x

  103. Despite a few successes, I still believe that the judicial institution needs revamping. Too old, outdated and unuser friendly. Intensify training for prosecutors and all court staff, the current system is good but not sufficient.

  105. #4 Kashimani
    you are right and i think its something he will come to pay for. Who ever thought the ever charming FTJ will come to be disgraced?

  107. This is like the USA going to fight Irag for oil, under the guise of terror, while taking eyes off the bull of real haven of terror-Afghanistan. Yuo jail Nyirongo, when we expect you to imprison Chiluba. Stop the nonsense GRZ, with your wasteful task force!

  108. A lot of them are following her soon. The List…FTJ,RB,VJ,Mabenga,Machungwa, HH who has failed to account for his billions, Dala saliya etc.

    Watch this pace guys.

  109. The genuine fight against corruption has began showing fruits. This was LPM, no nonsense approach to issues. If it were our corrupt FTJ, he would still be asking people for evidence. Clear justice demands clear minds. Well done judiciary and well LPM(MHSRIP). Ministers should learn to be accountable and not live above the law. Next FTJ must be sent to jail in weeks and not months.

  112. Yes, no one is above the law.

    We have to rid ourselves of this corruption disease that
    Has plagued us (Africans) for so long. A message to those
    In public and private offices in Zambia, it is ok to do your job
    Even if it does not buy you that car you have always dreamed
    Of as long as you are honest and hard working-persevere!. That
    should be payment enough and you will be rewarded, respected and
    dignified as an individual.

    Do Not resort to corruption, just look at our disgraced minister, bet
    She didn’t see this one coming when she was minister; shining with
    Brown envelops delivered to her office by dodgy people. Another message to those In public and private office in Zambia…

  114. Well, goes humans are only flesh and blood, am sure she’s going to appeal this sentence, case may drag on.
    But we’re all accountable for our actions or we have to be.

  116. Well, she should count herself damn lucky to be in zambia or zambian, in a country like China she would’ve faced a single bullet to the head.

    a Death sentence!!!!!!!!!!!

  120. This is the sort of news the few tax payers in Zambia would like to hear.The next persons tax payers would want to hear jailed are Chiluba and Xavier Chungu.
    This should serve as a warning to RB and his family, as well as Dora. Many leaders holding public offices really think they can abuse office with impunity.Things should start changing around so that whoever is voted into power should later be made answerable for their deeds during their tenure of office. Congratulations to the judge.

  124. Hopefully, it sends a serious message to others. You can’t continue doing wrong with impunity! Good luck inside you ever go in!

  126. “Lusaka Magistrates, Sharon Newa, sentenced Nyirongo, 51, of house number 10 Chavuma drive, Highridge in Kabwe to two years imprisonment with hard labour in the first count and four years in the second count.”

    Done very well Magistrate Sharon Newa. I hope this is an enough example for all those that have been tasked with public office by President RB Banda and himself to discharge their duties very well or else risk imprisonment when time of reckon shall come.

  127. strange that a prominent figure from the mwanawasa regime was tried and sentenced “quickley” while we have been waiting in vain for years for the law to vist the chiluba government. something doesn’t seem right.:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?!!!!!!!!!

  128. 65 AM TALKING OF WOMEN WHO LIKE FIGHTING IN PUBLIC LIKE YOUR
    MINITERS. SO I SAY EVEN HERE IN LONDON THERE ARE WOMEN LIKE
    THAT TOO. AND YOU FIND THAT IT ALL COMES TO JELOUSINESS OF
    WHICH I THINK PHIRI DRESSES BETTER AND LOOKS BETTER THAN
    MULOBEKA AS A RESULT MULOBEKA FEELS JELOUSY OF PHIRI AND DECIDED
    TO BRING HER DOWN BY TARING HER CLOTHES AND SCRUTCHING HER ALL
    OVER THE BODY. IN SHORT MULOBEKA JUST WANTED TO DISGRACE PHIRI
    AND I DONT REALLY READ THE MAIN REASON FOR THEIR FIGHT. WHAT WAS
    IT THEY FOUGHT FOR? MULOBEKA IS A SAVAGE, SAVAGES LIKE DOING THINGS
    LIKE THAT IN PUBLIC WHY NOT JUST SORT OUT THEIR DIFFERENCES PRIVATELY?

  139. I used to be suggested this web site by my cousin. I am not positive whether or not this publish is written via him as nobody else recognize such precise approximately my problem. You’re amazing! Thanks!
