Drug Kingpin Henry Shula Kasolo Convicted, Sentenced to 7 Years Imprisonment With Hard Labour

The Lusaka Magistrate Court has sentenced 54-year-old Henry Shula Kasolo, a notorious Drug Trafficker who was charged and arrested in June 2025 in Lusaka District of the Lusaka Province.

This is according to a statement issued by Drug Enforcement Commission Public Relations Officer Allan Tamba.

The matter is in connection with the offence of trafficking in 117 packs of compressed high-grade cannabis, weighing a combined 73.9 kilogrammes, which Kasolo concealed in four suitcases.

At the time of his arrest, the DEC also seized cash amounting to 10,200 United States dollars and 6,000 Kwacha, reasonably believed to be proceeds of crime and a Toyota Hilux motor vehicle which was used in the commission of the illicit activity.

Mr Tamba says the landmark court outcome demonstrates the tireless dedication, discipline and professionalism exhibited by officers, culminating in the meticulous gathering of intelligence, strengthened inter-agency investigations that crossed borders, as well as effective prosecution by the National Prosecution Authority (NPA).

He said in order to ensure that crime does not pay, the Commission has instituted investigations into assets linked to Henry Shula Kasolo’s illicit activities.

MQHZ DEMANDS ACCOUNTABILITY FOR PATIENT RIGHTS, DIGNITY

The Medical for Quality Healthcare in Zambia (MQHZ) has demanded immediate and decisive action to strengthen accountability in the protection of patient rights and dignity within Zambia’s healthcare system.

In a statement today, MQHZ Director General Dr Quince Mwabu stated that patients seeking healthcare deserve not only treatment but also respect, clear information, privacy and assurance that their concerns will be heard and addressed.

He added that patient rights are a fundamental component of quality and safe healthcare delivery.

Mwabu observed that a health system cannot achieve meaningful improvement if patients are not treated with dignity, involved in decisions about their care, informed about their conditions and treatment options, and assured that their personal health information is protected.

He noted that Government, health institutions, professional regulatory bodies and other stakeholders are making efforts to promote patient-centred care, strengthen accountability and improve responsiveness within health facilities.

Mwabu advanced that patient rights frameworks, service standards and feedback mechanisms represent important by progress towards a more accountable healthcare system.

He said that gaps nevertheless continue to exist between policy commitments and the experiences of some patients accessing healthcare services.

Mwabu observed that inadequate communication, limited explanation of diagnoses and treatment options, concerns about privacy and confidentiality, insufficient patient involvement in care decisions, and weaknesses in complaint-handling systems continue to affect patient confidence and experience.

He noted that patient experience is not merely a matter of satisfaction but a critical measure of healthcare quality and patient safety.

Mwabu advanced that when patients are not adequately informed, when their concerns are not addressed, or when their dignity is compromised, trust in the healthcare system is weakened.

He said that protecting patient dignity requires collective responsibility from health leadership, facility managers, regulators, professional bodies and healthcare workers.

Mwabu added that MQHZ is calling on the Ministry of Health and relevant authorities to strengthen monitoring and enforcement of patient rights standards across all healthcare facilities, while every institution should maintain functional feedback and complaints mechanisms, strengthen training in communication, ethics, confidentiality, informed consent and respectful care, and use patient experience data to improve healthcare delivery.

Apple has a new chief executive, and he's kicked off the job with the biggest iPhone change in nearly 20 years.

John Ternus took over from Tim Cook on 1 September, ending Cook's 15-year run at the top. On Wednesday, Ternus stepped on stage for the first time and showed off a phone that folds shut like a passport.

It's called the iPhone Duo. Closed, it's a normal-sized 5.4-inch phone. Open it up, and you get a 7.6-inch screen, close to a small tablet, Apple's biggest iPhone display ever.

The price is brow raising - It starts at $1,999, which amounts to over K30,000 at current rates, before shipping, duty or a reseller's markup gets added on top.

Apple is genuinely late to this game. Samsung launched the first folding phone back in 2019. But analysts say the wait may have paid off, giving Apple time to solve the hard problems, a hinge that survives thousands of folds, and a screen crease you barely notice.
