Non-bailable offences I believe all cases should be bailable. This means that the decision whether or not to grant bail is in the discretion of the court looking at the circumstances of each case. Conditions of bail should also be in the discretion of the court. I also believe that there should be a statutory guideline guiding courts as to the appropriate cases in which to grant bail or not. Allowing all offenses to be potentially bailable eliminates the risk of falsely accused persons rotting in jail for a crime they didn't commit. We saw how the non-bailable offence of 'theft of motor vehicle' was weaponised against political opponents in the past. The same can happen with these new non-bailable offences. Making an offence bailable doesn't mean that you will automatically be granted bail. The Prosecution has to argue that, in the circumstances of the case, the accused should be locked up e.g. aggravating circumstances of the crime, the accused is a flight risk etc. I have long argued that making offenses non-bailable is in contravention of Article 18 of the Constitution, the right to a fair trial and to be considered innocent until proven guilty.




If South Africa doesn’t change its super racist Apartheid 2.0 laws, the country must be sanctioned

@LindaKasonde What's your take in the new Non bailable Law?


How many of you have been falsely accused of rape so far? Or know someone who was falsely accused?

Vietnam was colonized by the French, bombed to pieces, and left with nothing. Today it's kicking our asses back home in Africa. At some point we have to stop making excuses.

If KK hadn’t worked hard to help destabilize S.Rhodesia, by now we would have lost Lstone, Chirundu, Kariba Dam and so on. They would have called it the Rhodesia buffer zone. Munali Hills <-> Golan Heights. We talk about KK helping to free Southern African. I now believe these actions primarily served Zambia and ensured we didn’t lose any territory. Today we all see what it’s like to have a hyper militaristic colonialist in your vicinity. History says we actually lived it - the whole 9 yards with Zambia being bombed, raids, assassination attempts etc. Our history would have been peppered with even more atrocities against our people.


So, he didn't call you. And you have no idea if Mojtaba is in control of his faculties and calling any shots. You were the head of an intelligence branch? What branch was that exactly? And you left as a Major -- after all those years? That's weird...
