SAIPAR Case Review
This controversy is about a powerful court that sided with a noble cause but that nonetheless decided the case so clumsily that it strengthened the adversaries’ otherwise weak counterarguments. In the groundbreaking Digashu case, the Supreme Court of Namibia recognized same-sex marriages contracted abroad. However, this decision relied so heavily on European and North American jurisprudence that it unintentionally fuels the impression and the accusations of those who claim that such recognition imposes Western values on the Namibian people. Moreover, in its efforts to recognize same-sex marriages, the Namibian apex court sacrificed the accuracy of its analysis by grossly distorting …

Sinyolo Muchiya V The People Appeal No 139/2021 [24 August 2023], O'Brien Kaaba, Ndindase Chirwa
SAIPAR Case Review
It is not often that female complainants of sexual assaults are readily believed by criminal justice institutions. Often, they are re-victimised and turned into suspects instead of being seen as victims. The law itself is often blind to their plight and unique needs. Poor and insensitive investigations, cautionary rules of evidence, insensitive cross examination, among others, combine to condemn them to secondary citizenship in the criminal justice system. Often, the criminal justice system in sexual assault cases unfairly tilts in favour of an accused without considering the needs of victims (and their families) and the public.
Fortunately, in this case …

James Kapembwa V The People Appeal No. 53/2022 (23 February 2023), Mwami Kabwabwa
SAIPAR Case Review
The appellant James Kapembwa was charged with defilement contrary to section 138 of the Penal Code Act chapter 87 of the Laws of Zambia. He was convicted of the offence and sentenced to 15 years imprisonment with hard labour by the High Court of Zambia. Unsatisfied with the decision of the High Court, the appellant appealed to the Court of Appeal against his conviction and sentence.
On 23rd February 2023, The Court of Appeal handed down its judgment in respect of the aforesaid application for leave to appeal against sentencing and conviction. It held that the appellant had known the …

Toyota Motors South Africa (Pty) Ltd V Numsa Obo Njini And Others (D 692/19 [2022] Zalcd 12 (14 July 2022), Stephen Nkosi
SAIPAR Case Review
This was an application in terms of s 145 of the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1966. Toyota sought to have the decision of the CCMA, ordering the re-instatement of Mr Lungile Njini - then an employee of Toyota for 17 years – be set aside, and that his dismissal be declared fair. The case represents an interesting interplay between the quest for discipline and productivity in the workplace and the right to exercise one’s constitutional right to culture as provided for in s 30 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa Act. This note is divided into …

Chimanga Changa Limited V Export Trading Limited (Scz Appeal No. 3 Of 2022), Ntemena Mwanamwambwa, Chenela Mwale-Simbotwe
Chimanga Changa Limited V Export Trading Limited (Scz Appeal No. 3 Of 2022), Ntemena Mwanamwambwa, Chenela Mwale-Simbotwe
SAIPAR Case Review
The Supreme Court’s decision in Chimanga Changa has set a clear and resounding tone as well as a sound precedent in the Jurisprudence of Zambian Corporate Insolvency law, specifically in relation to how voluntary business rescue proceedings should be commenced, when they commence and most importantly that an application objecting to the commencement of business rescue proceedings pursuant to section 22(1), does not answer to the definition of a legal proceeding for purposes of effecting a moratorium within the confines of section 25 of the Act.

S V Lifumbela And Others 2022 (1) Nr 205 (Sc), Dunia P. Zongwe
SAIPAR Case Review
The Lifumbela case stems straight from the High Treason Trial, Namibia’s longest and – probably – most expensive judicial saga. In S v Lifumbela, the Supreme Court of Namibia had to settle an appeal against the convictions and sentences of 30 accused implicated in the High Treason Trial. Despite the big stakes involved in this matter, the apex court did not manage to rise to this once-in-a-lifetime occasion and seize this historic moment.
By confirming that the appellants committed high treason, murder, and attempted murder on the basis of conspiracy (i.e., an incomplete crime), the Namibian Supreme Court upended the …
Emporium Fresh Foods Limited T/A Food Lovers Market And Gourment Market Limited V. Kapya Chisanga Caz Appeal No. 44/2021, Chanda Chungu
Emporium Fresh Foods Limited T/A Food Lovers Market And Gourment Market Limited V. Kapya Chisanga Caz Appeal No. 44/2021, Chanda Chungu
SAIPAR Case Review
The Respondent, Mr. Kapya Chisanga was alleged to have disclosed information to people, without authority. Following this, he was summarily dismissed. The Respondent challenged his dismissal in the High Court alleging that his dismissal was wrongful, unlawful, and unfair. The High Court held that the Respondent’s dismissal was wrongful, unlawful, and unfair, and granted 24 months salary as damages. The employer subsequently appealed the matter to the Court of Appeal for determination.
The Court of Appeal held that before an employer summarily dismisses an employee, the employee must be subject to a due process. According to the Court of Appeal, …
Zambia Electronic Clearing House Limited V. James Kalengo Caz Appeal No. 239 Of 2020, Chanda Chungu
Zambia Electronic Clearing House Limited V. James Kalengo Caz Appeal No. 239 Of 2020, Chanda Chungu
SAIPAR Case Review
The Court of Appeal’s decision in James Kalengo is crucial because it demonstrates that the concept of a legitimate expectation of renewal, as a principle and concept exists under Zambian employment law. Whilst an employer does retain the discretion to renew a contract of employment or not when it is due to expire, an employee may have a legitimate expectation of renewal if there is any past practice, prior promise or bad faith/mala fides in relation to the renewal.
Mark Tink And Others V. Lumwana Mining Company Limited Caz Appeal No. 41/2021, Chanda Chungu
Mark Tink And Others V. Lumwana Mining Company Limited Caz Appeal No. 41/2021, Chanda Chungu
SAIPAR Case Review
The decision in Mark Tink and Others v. Lumwana Mining Company Limited is an important decision because it clarifies and restates that law that a valid reason, that is substantiated is required when an employer initiates termination of the contract of employment.
This article critiques the approach of the Court of Appeal as it relates to the award of damages. This article seeks to provide clarity as it relates to the award of damages, particularly the way is granted and justified. It is suggested that when the opportunity arises either the Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court should revise …

Molosoni Chipabwamba And 12 Other Displaced Village Owners V Yssel Enterprises Limited Appeal No.104/2020 (Zmca) 2022, Mwami Kabwabwa
SAIPAR Case Review
The issue of customary land tenure and customary land rights is an important issue that has serious implications on customary communities that occupy land under customary tenure. Considering the raising demand of customary land by both local and international investors the courts play an important role in protecting the interests and rights of customary communities and ensuring that such communities are not exploited in the alienation process of customary land and in the procedures of converting from customary tenure to statutory where it is necessary and where the benefits of converting to statutory tenure outweigh the benefits of customary tenure. …

Chief Justice Mogoeng V Africa4palestine And Others [2021] Jsc/819/20; Jsc/825/20; And Jsc/ 826/20, Dunia P. Zongwe
Chief Justice Mogoeng V Africa4palestine And Others [2021] Jsc/819/20; Jsc/825/20; And Jsc/ 826/20, Dunia P. Zongwe
SAIPAR Case Review
This is a judgment against the first judge among his peers: the Chief Justice. Handed down by the Judicial Conduct Committee (JCC) of South Africa’s Judicial Service Commission (JSC), this judgment involves the remarks made in 2020 by Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng at a webinar hosted by a pro-Israel, conservative, Zionist newspaper. During that webinar, Mogoeng criticized the South African government’s official policy on the Israel-Palestine conflict. Following Mogoeng’s faux pas and a loud public outcry, three non-governmental organizations (NGOs) lodged complaints with the JCC against Mogoeng for his Israel comments.
This appeal judgment largely confirms the JCC’s earlier complaint …
Eva Chiboni V. New Future Finance Company Limited 2020/Hpc/0776, Chanda Chungu
Eva Chiboni V. New Future Finance Company Limited 2020/Hpc/0776, Chanda Chungu
SAIPAR Case Review
The decision in Eva Chiboni has been seen by some as a victory for vulnerable groups of people in Zambia, compared to bigger entities that do at time take advantage of parties with less bargaining powers. However, as this article has demonstrated, it reached an outcome not supported by principles of law, particularly those relating to the need to provide lucid and clear evidence of a vitiating factor or illegality to declare a contract null and void.

Livingstone Motor Assemblers Limited (In Receivership) V Indeco Estates Development Company And Others (Supreme Court Judgment No. 1 Of 2013), Ntemena Mwanamwambwa
SAIPAR Case Review
The appeal stems from a winding-up petition filed in the High Court by the respondents seeking an order to commence winding-up proceedings as well as the appointment of a liquidator in respect of the appellant, Livingstone Motor Assemblers Limited. The latter was heavily indebted to several creditors, including the respondents and the Zambia National Commercial Bank (ZANACO) which had commenced receivership proceedings and appointed a receiver/manager extra judiciously, prior to the High Court granting the winding-up order. Disgruntled by the grant of the order, the receiver/manager made an application to vary it so that only he would retain possession of …

Standard Chartered Bank Plc V Celine Meena Nair [2019] Zmca 221, Ntemena Mwanamwambwa, Milambo Chibbonta-Pupwe
SAIPAR Case Review
This case is one of a kind and therefore significant for several reasons in the jurisprudence of Zambian Employment Law. The case highlights that the employer-employee relationship is one founded on the implied term of mutual trust and confidence which entails that both parties must accord each other due trust and respect regardless of status.
The decision in this case, sets a clear and stern tone in cases of constructive dismissal bordering on toxicity within the working environment. Thus, employers are put on notice to adhere to their own grievance procedures particularly in cases involving bullying, harassment and victimization such …

Chapter One Foundation Limited And 2 Others V The Attorney General 2020/Ccz/0013 [2021], Florence Chumpuka, Mbaka Wadham
SAIPAR Case Review
If Zambia is to achieve gender parity and the representation of youth and persons with disabilities in politics, the Constitutional Court must be committed to: a) interpreting the Constitution in a manner which aligns with the principles and values set out in the Constitution, and b) Constitutional Court needs to offer extensive well-reasoned analysis of the Constitution within context of the laws’ purpose.
Mubita Mwananuka V Armaguard Security Caz Appeal No. 201/2021, O'Brien Kaaba
Mubita Mwananuka V Armaguard Security Caz Appeal No. 201/2021, O'Brien Kaaba
SAIPAR Case Review
The Court of Appeal of Zambia, in the case of Mubita Mwananuka v Armaguard Security CAZ Appeal No. 201/2021, delivered a Ruling on 3rd August 2022 to divest the High Court General List of jurisdiction over employment matters. I argue that this decision is in clear violation of the Constitution and demonstrates bewildering disregard of precedents by the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court, which bind the Court of Appeal.

The People V Ronald Kaoma Chitotela Sspd/034/2022, Muna B. Ndulo, Milimo Moyo
SAIPAR Case Review
In a recent decision, Magistrate Jennipher Bwalya sitting in Zambia's Economic and Financial Crimes Court (EFCC) discharged former tourism minister Ronald Chitotela in a case he was arrested for, on two counts of possessing property reasonably suspected to be proceeds of crime. Chitotela's arrest had been at the hands of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). In 2019, the ACC had signed a consent settlement with Chitotela which, apparently, gave the EFCC a basis for discharging Chitotela. Chitotela raised a preliminary issue before the EFCC, asking Lusaka magistrate Jennipher Bwalya to dismiss the matter he was recently arrested for, arguing that, under …
