Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Much to the delight of his fans Chitambala Mwewa popularly known as Simon Mwewa Lane was released from Mwembeshi prison on bail yesterday. \u201cMr Chitambala Mwewa as a vlogger has positively impacted the Zambian communities and therefore us citizens who have been inspired by him,we demand that he should be released on bail or simply asked to pay the fine plus the losses incurred by the owner of the bus Kwamana ! Surely Who treats the first offender like that? \u201d said a fan named Aaron Shimakanga<\/p>\n

Chitambala Mwewa was sentenced to six months of simple imprisonment following his conviction on charges of malicious damage to property. The charges against Chitambala stemmed from an incident on June 01, 2023, in Lusaka, where he willfully and unlawfully damaged two motor vehicle tires belonging to Benjamin Talamuka. The tires were part of a minibus parked at Simosons\u2019 Building, property of the accused\u2019s family, opposite City Market.<\/p>\n

In delivering the ruling, Magistrate Mayambu emphasized that such behavior cannot be accepted by any society, stressing the need to send a warning to deter potential offenders from committing similar offenses. Despite Mr. Chitambala\u2019s plea for leniency, citing being a first offender and a family man, the court considered the seriousness of the offense committed.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Chitambala, the offense which you have committed carries a maximum of two years imprisonment, but taking note of your mitigation, I will give you a sentence of six months imprisonment effective today. You have the right to appeal to the high court if you are not happy with the judgment,\u201d Magistrate Mayambu ruled.<\/p>\n
