MAGISTRATE RECUSES HIMSELF FROM KAPWEPWE HATE SPEECH CASE
Lusaka Resident Magistrate Peter Mungala has recused himself from handling the case involving social media influencer Francis Kapwepwe, popularly known as “Why Me.”
Magistrate Mungala cited professional grounds for his decision to step aside from the matter, which came up today for a ruling on the defence’s application regarding the court’s jurisdiction.
He informed both parties that he could not proceed with the case and has referred it back to Chief Resident Magistrate Davis Chibwili for reallocation.
Once reassigned to a different court, Kapwepwe, aged 29, will be expected to take a fresh plea.
Kapwepwe is facing three counts of hate speech and expressing or showing hatred, ridicule, or contempt toward individuals based on race, tribe, place of origin, or colour.

This insulting imbecile should be cared very soon and shame on these who support such deranged people.
True freedom fighter. Why Me stands against selective justice and oppression of non UPND citizens. His abductors will face the law next year.
REJECT TRIBALISM, CORRUPTION AND OPPRESSION.
VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.
Ba Indigo, one who insults elders can never be a freedom fighter. What freedom? Freedom to hurl insults? Why me is simply a social misfit.
Hurling insults is not criticism. It is abuse. How does insulting address the issue of selective justice?
Ba JMC, you have a problem with comprehension. Chiboloko and many other birthright citizens are worse at insults than Why Me. So do you support the tribal based selective justice? What is good for the goose is good for the gander. We can no longer turn the other cheek.
VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.
I hear you clearly ba Indigo. I have not listened to both misfits but the reports regarding the two are damning. You cannot support Why me just because Chibokolo has gotten away with insulting the opposition.
To me, they are both despicable characters, the scum of the earth not worth giving my attention. They are misfits in society and they both need to be taken down. I cannot support one over the other neither do I support partial application of justice.
