NAKACHINDA’S TRIBAL REMARKS LAND HIM 6 MONTHS IN PRISON
The Lusaka Magistrate’s Court has sentenced faction Patriotic Front secretary general Raphael Nakacinda to six months imprisonment with hard labour for uttering tribal remarks which had potential to fuel ethnic division.
Lusaka magistrate Idah Phiri noted that his sentiments had potential to incite violence.
Mr Nakacinda will serve the six months jail term concurrently, or side by side, with the 18 months jail term he is serving for defamation of the President.
For the case he has been jailed for today, the politician was charged with expressing or showing hatred, ridicule or contempt for persons because of race, tribe, place of origin or colour.

Mr. Nakachinda actively solicited for a custodial jail sentence as a badge of honour and rite of passage. It was clear from his conduct that he desperately needed this to boost his political CV.
He has now earned his stripes.
While his friends will be busy campaigning this guy will be languishing in prison due to his big mouth.
Used and forgotten. They will celebrate X-mas with their families and friends while he remains inprisonned without the binoculars. He didn’t see it coming even after focusing.
