Not longer than a day ago when the duo published their facebook status which contained an alteration picture of the Zambia’s coat of arms with a caption that read:
“Ladies &
Gentlemen, here is our Official Album Cover.

Whether this was out of ignorance of the law or it was by permit, we’re yet to find out.
The misuse of the coat of arms attracts a sentence of 2 years.
According to chapter 6 section 4. Of the laws of Zambia:
“ (1) No person shall, except with the written permission of the Minister- Prohibition of improper use of National Flag, etc.
(a) apply to any goods made, produced or sold by him, or import any goods to which there has been applied, the National Flag or the Armorial Ensigns or any part of the design thereof (or a flag or device so nearly resembling them as to be calculated to deceive); or
(b) use or permit to be used in connection with any business, trade, calling or profession the National Flag or the Armorial Ensigns or any part of the design thereof (or a flag or device so nearly resembling them as to be calculated to deceive) in a manner calculated to lead to the belief that he is duly authorised to use the National Flag or Armorial Ensigns, as the case may be, in that connection.”
