BLOGGER JAILED FOR HARASSING YO MAPS AND WIFE KIDIST ONLINE
The FOX Newspaper
In a landmark case that’s turning heads across the nation, blogger Elias Musyani has been sentenced to six months in prison and fined K70,000 for cyber harassment targeting popular musician Yo Maps and his wife, Kidist.
Musyani was found guilty of using social media platforms to post defamatory and abusive content about the couple, crossing legal boundaries meant to protect individuals from online abuse.
This ruling sends a powerful message about the consequences of digital misconduct and could set a precedent for how cyberbullying is handled in Zambia.
This is a very good judgement by the court that delivered it. Sadly the article does not name the judicial officer involved. Welcome to civilisation, blogger Musyani. The night watchman state has a mandate to use force to ensure order in society. It’s the church which relies on “other means” but you only have to look at humanity’s sad history to find out if “other means” work.
