MFUWE MP FOUND WITH CASE TO ANSWER

October 1, 2024

The Lusaka Magistrate Court has found Mfuwe Member of Parliament MAUREEN MABONGA with a case to answer in a matter where she is charged with two counts of seditious practices.

When the matter came up for ruling, Lusaka Resident Magistrate TREVOR KASANDA, said the court is satisfied that the state had adduced enough evidence to establish a prima facie case against the accused.

Magistrate KASANDA has subsequently put Ms. MABONGA on her defence.

Meanwhile, Ms. MABONGA through her lawyer LEON LEMBA informed the court that she will give sworn evidence and call witnesses in support of her defence.

Magistrate KASANDA has since adjourned the matter to November 18, 2024 for commencement of defence.

Ms. MABONGA faces two counts of seditious practices for allegedly inciting civil unrest between May 25 and 28, 2024.

She is further alleged to have uttered statements that could be construed as inciting violence against a specific ethnic group.

  1. Lawyers! You can lose your money for nothing. Invite witnesses to say what? What Mabonga said is in public domain. Majority of Zambians are witnesses to what she said and there are recodings to the effect.
    So, bwana lawyer, which witnesses do you intend to bring? To say what?

  2. Another by election by a selfish PF member of Parliament , it is shocking because our opposition members of Parliament lack reasoning and speak as if there’s a demon that is hovering around them ! They lack a sense of shame as most of them will speak just for the sake of the public to acknowledge their presence.Please PF members sober up and do the right thing.
