Gregory Chifire, staff member of the Southern Africa Network Against Corruption, is a human rights activist. He was sent to prison for 6 months on 'contempt of court' charges. The four contempt of court charges against Chifire, emanate from his questioning of a Supreme Court judgement handed down in March 2018 involving two large corporations. The case involved a local bank, Stanbic, referring a local company, Savenda, to a credit bureau for blacklisting on allegations that it defaulted on a loan repayment. In a letter to Zambia’s chief justice, Gregory Chifire described the judgment as having “omitted very crucial evidence” that formed the basis for the awarding of damages to Savenda and asked for the judges suspected to be responsible to be investigated.
