The Lusaka High Court he set free Zambia Association of Musician (ZAM) Njoya Tembo’s wife Brenda.
Judge Mwila chitabo has quashed the five-year jail sentence slapped on Brenda for assaulting her niece, saying it was a serious misdirection on the part of the magistrate.
In January 2018, Lusaka Magistrate, Greenwell Malumani sentenced Brenda to five years imprisonment for assault of a child.
Brenda, who denied the charge, was alleged to have assaulted her niece whom she was keeping, for using a pressing iron she was told not to use.
