ZAMBIA National Women’s Lobby Group (ZNWLG) executive director Tamara Kambikambi has observed that Chansa Kabwela’s acquittal has vindicated those women who believed in what she did at a time when others chose to remain mute.

Kambikambi in a statement yesterday noted that ZNWLG commends female leaders, like Kabwela, who can remain steadfast amid adversity.

“What she went through was serious adversity,” Kambikambi said. “We want to see that more female leaders emulate such values because we believe that women bring a different style of leadership.

We are happy, personally, it has vindicated those of us who believed in what she was doing at the time when others chose to keep quiet about it.”

And veteran politician Simon Zukas said the state was just wasting resources on the Kabwela case.

“My comment is that the state was wasting their money on that case,” he said. “ I am glad about the outcome but it was just a waste of state money.”

Post editor Fred M’membe on Monday challenged President Rupiah Banda to appeal his ‘pornography’ case all the way up to the Supreme Court.
