In what appears to be a fairytale judgement, Magistrate Munyinya, yesterday, cancelled a bench warrant against Munir Zulu following his plea for consideration.
Lusaka, July 13 – Lusaka Resident Magistrate, Sylvia Munyinya, on July 12, 2023 cancelled the bench warrant that was issued against Lumezi Member of Parliament, Hon. Munir Zulu.
This was after taking into consideration Mr. Zulu’s explanation as to why he was not in court when he was summoned.

“Mr. Nicholas Woolley’s continued interference in Zambia’s internal affairs amounts to lack of respect and should end with his puppets: the UPND!”
Mr. Zulu told the court that he was unwell and getting medical attention at the University Teaching Hospital, whose evidence he has submitted to the court.
He also told the court that efforts to find former Presidential Political Advisor, Mr. Kaizer Zulu, have been made and that he assigned some people to help in the search for his whereabouts.
This is in a matter where the Lumezi lawmaker signed as the surety for Mr. Kaizer Zulu who is charged with failure to surrender a diplomatic passport and to appear before the nearest immigration officer when he travelled out of the country.
Mr. Kaizer Zulu was in November last year arrested and charged with two counts for failure to surrender his diplomatic passport when he was no longer a diplomat and to appear before the nearest immigration officer when he was on a trip outside Zambia.
