The Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security has launched an amnesty for all foreign nationals who have overstayed their immigration permits/visas.

They are now expected to present themselves to immigration authorities to exit the country without any prosecution.

Zambia has granted an amnesty for illegal firearms with a reward of the equivalent of about N$1,000 for every weapon surrendered.

Motorists with outstanding warrants of arrest have until the end of January next year to settle their admission of guilt fines.

Speaking at a media briefing, NamPol's Inspector General, Lieutenant General Joseph Shikongo, said a total of 348,438 warrants of arrest are yet to be executed.
