Lawyers representing media personality Mutale Mwanza have applied for time to obtain fresh instructions regarding her plea of not guilty in a matter where she is accused of harassing fellow media personality Daisy Mwansa Lusumpa, popularly known as Chichi Daisy.
The alleged harassment was carried out through electronic communication, contrary to Section 69 of the Cyber Security and Cyber Crimes Act.
Defence lawyer Kingsley Malupenga told Magistrate Mbuywana Sinvula that he wished to receive accurate instructions from his client before proceeding.
Mr. Malupenga therefore applied for an adjournment to February 6, 2026.
It is alleged that on November 7, 2024, Ms. Mwanza used her Facebook page, M-Nation, with the intention to intimidate, harass, or cause emotional distress to Ms. Lusumpa.
Ms. Mwanza, a journalist and media socialite, is further alleged to have published unpalatable remarks against Ms. Lusumpa, whom she also accused of having an affair with a named politician.
