Maambo Maluba is charged with eight counts of impersonation, forgery, uttering false documents and obtaining money by false pretences.

It is alleged that Maluba, with others, impersonated to be Mr Chanda and presented himself to Mr Zuze and directed him to make a donation to the Patriotic Front (PF).
Maluba is also alleged to have obtained money by false pretences between April 1 and June 1 last year with intent to defraud.
He allegedly got K260,000 from Mr Banda by asking him to give the PF K10,000 and also asked for K250,000 by pretending to have bags for sale.
Maluba is also alleged to have with intent to defraud or deceive forged a letter purportedly written and issued by the PF when in fact not.
In the offence of uttering false documents, Maluba is alleged to have uttered a false document purported to have been genuinely issued by the PF and presented to Mr Banda.
