United Party for National Development Leader Hakainde Hichilema 5 others have been transferred to Mukobeko Maximum Security Prision in Kabwe from Lusaka central Prison.
It now means the accused will be under solitary confinement at Mukobeko Maximum prison where people accused of serious cases such as treason, murder or those who have been convicted of these cases are jailed.
Hichilema and five others are charged with treason, and have so far been in custody for two months.
First president Kenneth Kaunda was remanded at this prison when Frederick Chiluba’s government arrested him on trumped up charges of treason. He was only saved by his Tanzanian counterpart Julius Mwalimu Nyerere who pleaded with Chiluba to have him put under house arrest.
On Thursday, yesterday Principal Resident Magistrate David Simusamba ruled that Hichilema and his co-accused 5 be referred to the High Court as per committal certificate issued by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to refer the treason case to the High Court for trial.
Hichilema was arrested on April 11, 2017 after a brutal night raid of his residence the previous day. He briefly spent his detention at Lilayi Police College in Lusaka before he was moved to Lusaka Central Correctional Facilities.
His Supporters say the charges are politically motivated aimed at finishing their leader politically.
Hichilema or HH as he is fondly called narrowly lost the elections of 2016 to President Lungu but he has refused to recognise the leadership of Lungu.

The greatest casaulty of all this is the Economy and the suffering Zambians.The IMF Loan is now off the Table and Mutati can forget about Western Financial Assistance and Foreign Investors.The Zambian Economy without external Financial Financing free fall just like the Zimbabwean did. Lungu and Mutati should now factor increased isolation and possible Economic,Financial and Travel Sanctions. The Zambian Economy will consequently collapse with grave consequences on Zambians. Under this illegitimate Lungu govt people must brace for tough times ahead.
He has finally arrived at his new and soon to be permanent residence. No amount of money can save him. Analakwa mambala.
Muntu must know that he is the only Zambian who thinks that there is a treason case worth its salt. You saw how UPND learned Lawyers tore apart the PF lawyers. If the case was not politically motivated, it should have ended at the Magistrate court. Now the case is at the High court. Our lawyers are going to have Mumbi Phiri, kampyongo and Kamba answerable at that level for contempt of court for being a spokesperson for the Judiciary. It simply means that the case for HH is decided at state House which proves that HH is in this condition not because he broke the law but because the thieves who stole his votes want him incarcerated.
You don’t break the law by being in the same place with an unpopular president in your own stronghold. If people decide to have nothing to do with a leader who is unpopular is that treason?
Well, Mukobeko Maximum Prison is far much better than Hell the place prepared for Satan and all his followers.
My prayer is to be with EL and HH in Heaven by the grace of God. I don`t want any of the two to go to hell because of politics. I love these two so much,there are very precious to me.
At the moment the other one is at State house and the other at Mukobeko Maximum Prison but both places are not the best. Heaven is the best place and Jesus is ready to take us there.May God take care of EL and HH in Jesus` name.
When we said HH had made a great error in bringing GBM to our midsts you simply laughed at us and said ‘izula bayangana’. Have you now seen how GBM has turned our leader into a kaponya using his Inter-City tactics ? HH and UPND wasnt like this before GBM, Judge Ngoma and William Banda came in !
Where are the voices of Maureen Mwanawasa, Miles Sampa, Mulenga Sata amd Bashi Nono ? They are quiet ziiiii because they know that HH messed up.
The State’s powers are so vast that this can even be the end of HH’s political life, mark my words !
Bring back our Party iwe ka HH
Is this the Zambia and the kind of government that we should condone as people in this country ? What has gone wrong all of a sudden after the administrations of the true sons of the soil? What is it that we still await for before we can take arms and begin to fight for our human rights and freedoms which have been abused to such an extent? Where is the military please, when those in power begin to indulge in such severe human abuses ? Do we have a real military or are they just military men and women by word but paper tigers in deed ? Why allow such human abuses by someone who did not even play a significant role in the liberation of of this country ? Who is Edgar Lungu and his PF cohorts by the way mwe bantu ? Cankalipa and I vigorously mean it. Fellow Zambians if Edgar Lungu is allowed to continue in power with such human rights abuses which we are witnessing now, I can foresee a time where even his praise singers and worshipers shall live to regret in the near future.

Guns are not the answer but God. Jesus is calling you because you are a burdened person. He is saying, “come unto me and I will give you rest,rest of your troubled soul.”Please don`t delay,come to Jesus quickly and you shall enjoy life before and after your death day.Ooh! God has good thoughts and future for you.
Please read Matthew 11:28-30. Jer 29:11-13
Useless preacher, why can’ t you go and preach to your useless chakolwa president? You talk of heaven heaven which you shall never see in your life. After all, I am a better preacher than you who just pretend that you are a christian with your chakolwa yet your hearts are a dwelling place for Devil Lucifer and his demons. winjasuka pantu ndekutuka.

The truth is God loves you so much while guns hate you so much.
Jesus is the only Answer for you. May God bless you.
Please read Psalm 1 :1-5.
Preacher the bible you are quoting was the same bible slave traders used to arrest our african relatives and enslaved them. If someone rebelled against these evil acts, they gave him a bible and told him “jesus is the answer” the same way you are talking, until africa was stripped of its valuable assets and people. So your preaching of this kind in middle of perceived persecution by a suspected tyrant, is just nonsence and out of context, its a deception which does not yield any results instead gives your perceived enemy to finish you off as it happened in history of slave trade. Did jesus descend to come and stop slavery??
Even those who are not HH supporters say the same thing, Chishimba Kambwili, Dr Chishimba, foreigners,EU, US, SA, including Aljazeera you heard the journalist questioning how charges are treasonable.
How do you say his supporters say the charges are politically motivated if you understand what treason is and you have followed the charges given to HH since this drama started?
