…BUT REMAINS A CONVICT
Chitambala Mwewa commonly known as Simon Mwewa lane has survived jail punishment after a High Court Judge overturned the six months custodial sentence slapped on him by the Magistrate Court.
Mwewa a Blogger and Chief Executive Officer of Simson Building complex had appealed against his conviction and sentencing. He argued that the Magistrate erred in both law and fact.
Lusaka Judge Ian Mabbolobbolo overturned the sentencing reducing it to a fine of K6000 failure to which Mwewa should be jailed for three months.
Judge Mabbolobbolo however upheld the conviction. This means Mwewa a popular Facebook personality remains a convict.
Mwewa a son of former Lusaka Governor Dr Simon Mwewa was convicted in January this year (2024) for malicious damage to property after he deflated the tyres of a minibus parked near Simoson Building at City Market.
