Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Three people in Lumezi District have been sentenced to one month imprisonment with hard labour for unlawful possession of a government trophy.<\/p>\n

Lundazi Resident Magistrate, Joseph Kapila sentenced Maxwell Chima, 68, of Musekeni Village, Winson Mbebe, 55, of Chibamba Village and Manase Banda, 38, of Mumbi Village all of Chief Kazembe\u2019s area.<\/p>\n

Facts of the offence are that the trio on 18th July, 2023, jointly and whilst acting together had in their possession a government trophy, namely Kudu meat weighing 33 kilograms without a certificate of ownership as required by law.<\/p>\n

The trio pleaded guilty to committing the offence and asked the court to exercise lenience on them as they were the first offenders.<\/p>\n

In mitigation Chima told the court that he was looking after four children at home and no one would sell his harvested cotton if sent to jail.<\/p>\n

Mbebe and Banda said they did not know that the meat was a government trophy as they were just given a kilogram and half each by the first convict.<\/p>\n

In passing judgement, Magistrate Kapila reminded two of the convicts that they were supposed to ask the type of meat they were given before getting it.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Magistrate Kapila said he took into consideration the statement of the convicts and noted that two of them were senior citizens.<\/p>\n

He disclosed that in order to deter offenders and help the convicts to reform, he sentenced them to month imprisonment with hard labour with effect from July 20th, 2023.<\/p>\n
