Chilufya Tayali

POLICE have been directed to arrest Economic and Equity Party president Chilufya Tayali and take him to court.

This follows Lusaka resident magistrate Mbuywana Sinvula issuance of a bench warrant against the outspoken opposition political party leader who is usually online, especially Facebook.

Yesterday, Mr Tayali was supposed to appear before court where he is charged with expressing or showing hatred, ridicule or contempt for persons because of race after he claimed that “Bembas are useful idiots”.

He allegedly uttered the hateful remarks between January 26 last year, allegations he denied when he first appeared in court.

When the case was called before magistrate Sinvula, the accused was nowhere to be seen and this is the second time the accused is absconding court sittings.

The prosecution team then applied that the court issues a bench warrant against the accused.

The magistrate then issued a bench warrant against the accused, the same will be returnable next on March 27 this year.

  1. Hakainde should stop this nonsense of wasting tax payers money.

    On behalf of all Bemba people, we do not take offence by what Tayali said. Let him be, unless he has committed a real crime.

    Vote wisely in 2026.

    • Even if people don’t vote wisely,the sun will still rise from the East and set in the West.And you will still be complaining on social media.

  2. Why are you so bitter? Tayali broke the law. This law has been in existence even during pf and MMD era. So whst is special about Tayali? . He has to appear before the Magistrate court and not before HH. Grow up .

  3. Indigo Tyrol, please be reminded that the defunct TuPF will never rule this country
    So, it’s either you accept this reality or fimba upoke
