A traditional healer has been sentenced to nine years imprisonment with hard labour for stealing 11 cows worth about K40,000.
Dennis Phiri, 38, of Katete, has been punished for stealing the livestock, which he later sold at K26,000 at an abattoir.
Chipata senior magistrate Felix Kaoma said he needed to impose a stiff punishment on Phiri considering the prevalence of the offence and aggravating circumstances.

Facts are that between October 12 and October 13, Mr Ng’wane had released his 11 head of cattle for grazing near his house.
The court heard that the accused later went to the grazing area, got the animals and took them to Chipata abattoir.
The same evening, the complainant went to get his animals from the grazing area but did not find them.
The matter was reported to police and investigations revealed that Phiri sold them at the abattoir on October 15.
Mr Ng’wane went to the abattoir, where he identified his missing animals. Magistrate Kaoma convicted Phiri of the offence.
