POLICE IN KITWE ARREST MAMA CHIKAMONEKA FOR ALLEGED CYBER HARASSMENT
POLICE in Kitwe District have arrested 63-year-old Mary Bwalya, popularly known as “Mama Chikamoneka,” for alleged harassment and humiliation under the Cyber Crimes Act.
Copperbelt Police Commissioner Mwala Yuyi says the incident was reported on April 25th around 14 hours by 58-year-old Martin Kafutubele of Zambia Railways area in Parklands, Kitwe.
Mr. Kafutubele, a district trustee under UPND, complained after a video circulated on Facebook in which the suspect is heard making remarks in Bemba, suggesting he was suffering and doing no meaningful work.
Mr. Yuyi states that although the suspect denied targeting him, based on preliminary evidence, the suspect was charged with harassment and humiliation contrary to Section 22 (1) (a) of the Cyber Crimes Act No. 4 of 2025.
She has since been released on bond, while her mobile phone has been seized for forensic analysis.

Didn’t she utter those words? Answer is, She did and admitted though at an angled.
Sometimes give advice to your offending candidates than defending them in their wrongs.
She is a big mouth that woman.
She has of late become politically charged by follo political figures in the ruling. Boma ni Boma she will soon test the diet if she doesn’t tame her tongue.
How do you arrest a citizen for saying she needs a better job? If you can’t handle criticism quit politics. This is the first administration to arrest citizens for merely expressing opinions. This is the problem of electing incompetent politicians…………they don’t want to be criticized.
