Legal matters
Defamation of the President Case
The matter in which two Post Newspaper journalists, Mukosha Funga and Joan Chirwa, are
charged with defamation of the President comes up on 18th August before Magistrate Mulife. The
duo are jointly charged with Fourth Revolution President, Eric Chanda. The matter could not take
off on Tuesday as the trial magistrate was said to be unwell.
The penal code provision on defamation of the president (section 69) is one of the laws that MISA
has been advocating against as a duplication, an unconstitutional provision which limits freedom
of expression and media freedom and creates a serious chilling effect on the practice of journalism
in Zambia.
