Mr. Mwale said there has been no reason advanced for the absence of the three accused persons adding that their sureties were aware that they were supposed to appear before the court on the same day with the eight others.<\/p>\n

He further informed the court that the State will make the necessary application with regard to the three accused who were absent when the trial court sits further stating that 10 of the 11 accused persons are on bail.<\/p>\n

The eleven accused persons are facing one count of riotous conduct, obstruction of a public road, criminal trespass and two counts of malicious damage to property contrary to Chapter 87 of the Laws of Zambia.<\/p>\n
