A Zambian court has jailed two men for two years with hard labour after they were convicted of planning to use witchcraft to kill President Hakainde Hichilema.

Mozambican Jasten Mabulesse Candunde and Leonard Phiri, a local village chief, were on Monday found guilty of “professing witchcraft”  by magistrate Fine Mayambu after a lengthy trial.
