POPULAR MUSIC ARTIST CHANDA ARRESTED OVER CANNABIS TRAFFICKING

By Best Jere

Popular Zambian music artist Edward Chanda, known as Chanda has been arrested in Lusaka for alleged trafficking in 30.3 grammes of dry loose cannabis.

Addressing the press in Lusaka, Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) Public Relations Officer Allan Tamba says the 28-year-old artist, who resides in Meanwood, was apprehended during an intelligence-led operation.

In a separate operation, the Commission arrested 22-year-old Eliam Masepa Chisale, also known as Ghost, who was found with 71 sachets of crystal methamphetamine, 11 rocks of co***ne and 10 sachets of high-grade cannabis.

Mr Tamba says officers also intercepted a truck at the Kazungula One-Stop Border Post carrying sulphur from South Africa to the Copperbelt, where they discovered 25 bundles of suspected high-grade cannabis weighing 111.4 kilogrammes concealed among the sulphur bags.

The truck driver, 46-year-old Cletus Mulenga, allegedly attempted to bribe officers with K10,000 to prevent the search.

Further investigations led to the arrest of 42-year-old Tanzanian national Kisibo Osman Alphan at a truck yard in the Ten Miles area of Chibombo District, where he was allegedly receiving the consignment.

Meanwhile, in Mpika District, Muchinga Province, the DEC, working with the Zambia Police Service, arrested 33-year-old Roydah Mugala, who was allegedly found with co***ne, 1.2 kilogrammes of high-grade cannabis, 166 tablets of Benzhexol and nine bottles of Benylin with Codeine.

Mr Tamba says all suspects are in custody and will be subjected to court proceedings.

KALABA COMMENDS LUSAKA MAYOR OVER CLEAN-UP PROJECT

Citizen First President Harry Kalaba has commended Lusaka Mayor Chitambala Mwewa for spearheading efforts to clean and restore order in the capital city.

Mr Kalaba says the removal of street vendors from undesignated trading areas is necessary to restore cleanliness, order and dignity to Lusaka.

He says despite their political differences, he recognises the Mayor’s efforts under the Keep Lusaka Clean project.

Mr Kalaba, however, says affected traders should be provided with safe, accessible and affordable trading spaces to protect their livelihoods.

He has also called for clear pavements and drainage systems, orderly roads and properly functioning markets.

Mr Kalaba says keeping Lusaka clean should not be a political issue, but a matter of civic pride and public health.
