I will not shave until I get justice – Nakacinda

RAPHAEL Nakacinda says no barberman will slash his scruffy beard or afro, for as along as he remains charged with the defamation of President Hakainde Hichilema.
 
Last year in May, the 43 year old was bundled on a police vehicle and driven all the way from Lusaka to the North-Western Province capital, Solwezi, where he had been reported for hate speech and defamation of the President.
 
On arrival, Nakacinda, who is PF information and publicity chairperson, was briefly detained in the Solwezi Correctional Facility before being charged with two offences of defamation of the President, contrary to Section 69 of the Penal Code.
 
He was also charged with expressing or showing hatred, ridicule or contempt, contrary to Section 70(1) of the Penal Code, Chapter 87 of the laws of Zambia.
 
But Nakacinda feels unjustly treated and protests what he sees as injustice and has decided to spot a Samson look, complete with wild afro and beard.
 
It’s now almost a year since Nakacinda decided to take a Nazarine oath of not shaving.
 
“I have been protesting of the bogus charge of defaming the President when I said what the President was doing bututu, which is basically meaning primitive,” said Nakacinda, a former minister in the then Ministry of Water Development, Sanitation and Environmental Protection, during Edgar Lungu’s rule.
 
“And instead of me being arrested and taken to court in Lusaka, where it is alleged that I may have said what I said, they decided to take me to solwezi.”
 
The court has not yet come up with the judgment, as the case was adjourned.

  1. Unquestionably believe that which you stated.
    Your favorite justification seemed to be on the web the easiest thing to be
    aware of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people think about worries that they just do not
    know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top
    and defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take a signal.
    Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
