ZAMBIA — The National Initiative for Citizens Awareness -NICA- says it will appeal against the acquital by a Lusaka magistrate Court of a Kafue pastor facing a charge of sexual abuse.

NICA president, Kelvin Sampa, says his organisation is not happy with the court's decision to acquit Pastor James Gondwe.

Mr. Sampa says NICA will also petition the Director of Public Prosecution-DPP-to reopen the case.

And Children in Need Board Secretary, Patrick Munthanga, appealed to individuals and other lobby groups to come together and petition the verdict.

A Lusaka Magistrate Court last week acquitted Pastor Gondwe of Kafue's Bethel Orphanage for lack of sufficient evidence.
