Notorious Facebook Livestreamer Lands Behind Bars: Mwewa Insists on Chimbokaila for Safety!
Renowned for his impeccable English and street broadcasts, Simon Mwewa, also known as the “national teacher of English,” recently found himself on the wrong side of the law. Convicted of maliciously deflating the tires of a minibus, Mwewa was sentenced to six months in prison. However, when the time came to admit him to prison, Mwewa startled authorities with a surprising request.
Refusing to go to Kamwala Remand Prison, Mwewa insisted on being taken to the Lusaka Central Correctional Facility, fearing an undesirable reception from fellow inmates awaiting trial. Despite officers’ explanations that his sentence was too short for Chimbokaila, Mwewa’s fears persisted.
In the end, Mwewa was handed over to prison authorities and reportedly taken to Mwembeshi Prison. Influential sympathizers are now working tirelessly to secure his release, with a lawyer preparing a bail application pending appeal against his conviction. Mwewa’s fate hangs in the balance as we await the availability of the judgement.
