The Young Women Christian Association says it wants President Edgar Lungu to send singer Clifford Dimba back to prison.
Commenting on President Lungu’s decision to pardon Clifford Dimba, aka General Kanene, who three days after his release from prison beat up one of his three wives, Sharon, YWCA president Lucy Lungu said the Head of State should revoke his prerogative of mercy on the singer. “As YWCA, we appeal to the President to live up to the expectation of all those who are looking up to him to lead this new solidarity campaign for gender equality.
The Republican President, as a champion and ambassador of this campaign, should revoke the pardoning of General Kanene so that he serves the remainder of his sentence in prison,” she said. Lucy said her organisation believed that Kanene’s conviction and 18-year jail sentence sent a strong message to would-be perpetrators and clearly demonstrated that no one was above the law.
“It is sad that we do not have the powers that the President has but that is where we stand. We have been through this before where perpetrators of GBV are set free and that is why we advocated for longer sentences,” she said. Lucy said it was indisputable that Kanene did not repent. “His repentance is questionable because within such a short period of time, he has committed another crime.
We were even being told through the media that while he was in prison, they used to take him out to do other activities and so we wonder how much time he spent in prison,” complained Lucy.
Are you speaking from the “Christian” point of view?
just keep queit hule iwe,after baku nyenga then u start making noise chimbwi.
Noko e ule lyakantu pakufyala ichipuba kwati iwe kapoli!! Just shut up stanyoko.
Women are problem and if not careful, men may end up jailed for silly reasons. A woman brings down the powerful man. These people(women) sometimes behave like children, for which is men’s responsibility to displine them.
Men are dogs, men lie, cheat and steal too. Some of them are cowards and some of them are sick abusers, who get off on the emotional manipulation and exploitation of women.
chikala
Imwe baba you are a chauvinist. It’s ironic that you say women are problems and should be disciplined yet you are the one who follows those “problems”. Who does that?? Stay away from women my friend, when you see one you are interested in, RUN!! Only look back when you feel safe.
Hv discovered that a woman is the most difficult creature to live with.it takes a strong mind to tame them.
Is this a platform for insults or what pliz may someone educate me
@Sharon we are not dogs and behave yourself
Sharon was the one who Kanene punched so she is not in a very comprmising mood. Isreali, avoid her before you are rained with insults.
That fool shouldnt have been released in the first place. There is only one chap to blame; the one that released him. How does a president make such a decision that was not researched thoroughly? The last laugh is on lungu and his weak decisions based on lack of vision.
Not knowing certainly why Kanene confronted his wife,but looking at the behavour of women he is right.all women with or without grey hair on there privet part stil behaves like a child.maybe they drink their periods fluid.me I used to beatup my wife before discovering that womem only the body grows not the brain.if one wants to prove this Propose love to a woman aged 55yrs old,the behavour same with a 18yrs old girl.
very sickening reasoning that reminds me of a certain group of people in zambia. PLease could you inform me what party you support?
Find a case for Kanene to answer, charge him, arrest, try him, hope that he’s found guilty.
Its called “due process”. While you google that, please google “double jeopardy” too.
The Dog is out and who let that bad Dog out?is it HH or LUNGU
Madam, it is unwise of you to insult a fellow woman based on the sentiments of this chauvinistic muppet.
Madam, sharon it is unwise of you to insult a fellow woman based on the sentiments of this chauvinistic muppet.
dis kanene also z a blood buger he doesn’t have some brains damn. aftanun bro NEZ
Just send that women abuser back to the slams. I agree to that. Edgar should also start using reasoning based decisions than selective appeasement judgement that galvanizes our perception of him as a clueless and vision-less leader.

Disrespectful bt very nice vocabulary,wish u kud use dat good voca on mor constructive thinz man
Do you know that Edgar is my mbuya? He stayed pa CB acha no ku cha! 🙂 🙂
if surely kanene did beat his wife,something must be wrong with him,but that does not mean to crucify him no,what he needs is counseling by this so called ngos .
why would a man with all functional senses beat up his woman blue black barely days from prison and knows the entire Zambia is watching him?! Its either he is naturally stupid or just gave the president the middle finger.
sure,yestaday u where in prison, today u beat someone to the extent of bruzers?. ask your self, what if she dead?. learn to control your temper.
muipange ati nimwebo ba mufia after mwalepapata ati tamwakabwekeshepo. uleingilapo fye again.
WHEN HE WAS ARRESTED UPND SAID ITS BECAUSE HE IS TONGA COZ THE GIRL WAS OF AGE, WHEN HE IS RELEASED LUNGU THAT LUNGU THIS…. NEZ UKAKULALISA MWAICE IWE?
kiki why do you need to lie? No UPND has never issued such a statement. Why should UPND be so concerned with tongas? Tongas are just a tribe. We have many other tribes in UPND. Please take the tribal mentality out of your dunderhead and be a grown up for once. chimbwi iwe
@Napachepa….okey NEZ’s comments aside, but do you think releasing Kanene without looking at the merit of his case was wise? If the answer is no, then I see no reason why NEZ should be attacked..
Apa manje that’s when the presidency has been reduced to nil. The whole president getting involved in a trivial matter such as Kanenes! The family to Kanene’s wife even went to the extent of saying we have reported him to the president and are waiting for his answer!! kikikikikikiki! yah! It just shows how corrupt this EL can be and how he can make wrong decision based on who he thinks supports him….
No @Trixy, its when the presidency has been brought down to the people. From KK to RB, the presidents were seen as the vice Gods. Worshiped, untouchable!! With Michael Chilufya Sata, came the presidency among people. EL enshrined it by campaigning on the same premise. That is why you hear, umwana aitila ocra, ati ba president twafweni!! HH, in his shrewd way has seen this. He now takes a minibus ride to Mtendere just to build a real image. That was good, sadly the NEZ approach scares lower class away. So, there!!
Next time pipo wait why só quick..
all af u you are correct but Sharon, mind your brain and you have to be carefull. GK has no problem and if he did that then he need councelling not what those rubbish are backing M.Y S.R.P Sharon
whr is dekente and chief of grief tusekepo ifwe
this is no longer the useless website it was when those two jokers were busy splashing their waste matter all over. Things have changed since we the UPND have had an official presence here. If you want jokes please read some social tabloids
people let us learn to for give and forget to take gk back to prison it’s not going help us let us just pray for our brother to change through the name of jesus christ.

if we ar nt careful women wl sell african countries bcoz these days women ar highly favoured by new laws. Especially if they take up more of sensitive positions in our society, the so called NGOs ar there to enrich themselves nt for the majorit Zambians eg wen there waz reduction in fuel no NGOs blamed the bus owners to reduce the fares poor zambians wre exploited whre wre the NGOs? Today on Kanene they ar in forefront this genda balance wl cause men in the near future if we ar nt careful with our EVEs
Ama NGOs Tabakwata Amano, Why’re They Complaining Abt Umupondo_GK When There’s Alot Of Things Happening To Complain About Eg; Load_Shading, Fuel_Rise, Bus_Fairs Instead Of Defending That Sharon This. She Deserves It;
