A court has sentenced Leonard Phiri and Mozambican Jasten Mabulesse Candunde to two years in prison for attempting to use witchcraft in a plot to kill President Hakainde Hichilema of Zambia

The pair were arrested in December after being found in possession of charms, including a live chameleon, which prosecutors said they intended to use for the act.

“It is my considered view that the convicts were not only the enemy of the head of state but were also enemies of all Zambians,” Magistrate Fine Mayambu said.

The men were allegedly hired by a fugitive former MP. Despite claiming to be traditional healers, they were found guilty on two counts under the Witchcraft Act.

“The two accepted ownership of the charms. Phiri further demonstrated that the chameleon’s tail, once pricked and used in the ritual, would cause death to occur within five days,” the magistrate added.

Defence counsel Agrippa Malando explained that his clients sought lighter sentences on the grounds of being first-time offenders, but the court dismissed the plea.

They were also handed a six-month jail term for possession of charms, though the punishment will run concurrently with their main sentence. President Hakainde Hichilema, who has often stated that he does not believe in witchcraft, has remained silent on the matter. The rarely enforced Witchcraft Act of 1914 was invoked in the case, a law designed to shield society from fear and potential harm.
