For 6 years, a 30-year-old woman has been living in pain and shame. She says she produces maggots from her private parts daily

She has visited many hospitals, but none have been able to help her.Because of this condition, she has turned down marriage proposals not because she doesn’t want love, but because she is tired of suffering in silence.

Today, she is pleading for help.She is asking any hospital or medical specialist who can treat her condition to come forward.

No one should have to live like this.
She deserves healing. She deserves dignity.

No one should lose a legal right because courts were not accessible - LAZ

THE Law Association of Zambia (LAZ) has demanded that clear measures should be put in place to protect litigants whose legal rights and deadlines may have been affected by the three-day closure of courts and registries across the country.

LAZ president Arnold Kaluba complained that while the reopening of the courts is welcome, it does not resolve the possible consequences of the disruption, particularly for people who needed urgent judicial intervention.

Speaking at a press briefing in Lusaka today, Kaluba said some accused persons may have been unable to apply for bail, while survivors of gender-based violence may have been unable to seek protection orders during the closure.

He said other litigants may also have needed urgent injunctions to protect their property, businesses or contractual interests, while some legal rights depended on filing within strict statutory or constitutional deadlines.

“No person should lose a right, remedy or opportunity to be heard because the institution through which that right had to be exercised was inaccessible,” Kaluba said.

He has since called on the Judiciary to issue clear and authoritative directions on how filings, applications and deadlines affected by the closure will be treated.

Kaluba said lawyers and litigants who failed to meet legal requirements because they were prevented from accessing the courts should not be unfairly prejudiced.

The LAZ president disclosed that the Association has also been seeking clarity from the Judiciary on the circumstances surrounding the closure, including the reasons, scope, duration and authority under which it was effected.

He said, however, that LAZ has not received the meaningful and comprehensive explanation it expected.

“Security cannot become a blanket justification for leaving people without a meaningful avenue to approach the courts,” he said.

He suggested that where court premises have to be physically closed because of security concerns, alternative arrangements should be made for urgent applications and essential filings.

The Judiciary annouced the reopening of courts and registries that were closed for three days from Monday, amid security concerns cited by the security wings.
