Opposition leader Hakainde Hichilema has another issue to fight as Zambia treason charges were filed against him last week Monday, for allegedly obstructing President Edgar Lungu’s motorcade on a main road. According to police, on Saturday President Edgar Lungu had passed through Mongu – 500km west of the capital, Lusaka, and his motorcade was obstructed because Hichilema’s convoy refused to give way. Zambia treason is a non bailable offense which means the person charged with such act cannot apply for bail, with a minimum jail term of 15 years and a maximum sentence of the death penalty. To make sense out of all this, we are joined on the line by:Gary Van Staden: Senior Political Analyst: Arthur Sikopo: Channel Africa News Correspondent based in Lusaka, Zambia.
