Zambian TikToker Francis Kapwepwe, known to his followers as 'Why Me,' has walked free after serving his sentence in a hate speech case. He built a wide following with online content that repeatedly landed him in hot water. The charges that sent him to prison centred on remarks the courts treated as hate speech. On his release he declared himself a changed man, saying his time behind bars reworked his outlook. News of his exit spread fast across Zambian social media, where his case had been followed closely. Controversy made him a household name long before the verdict did. He now says he wants to leave the behaviour that got him jailed in the past. Whether his audience accepts the new version of him is the next question.
