KITWE High Court judge Catherine Makungu has sentenced a 30-year-old man of Chililabombwe to 30 years imprisonment with hard labour for defiling his seven-year-old stepdaughter and infecting her with syphilis.
Mrs Justice Makungu yesterday upheld the conviction of Alex Chabala by the subordinate court for defilement and imposed a 30-year jail term on him.
Particulars of the offence are that Chabala on dates unknown but between January and April 2013 in Chililabombwe, had unlawful carnal knowledge of a girl under the age of 16.
Passing the sentence, Mrs Justice Makungu said there are aggravating circumstances in the case.
“The child you defiled was your own stepdaughter only aged seven and you infected her with syphilis. I, therefore, sentence you to 30 years imprisonment with hard labour with effect from the date of your arrest,” Mrs Justice Makungu said.
In mitigation through his lawyer Sekelebako Kundachola, Chabala said he is remorseful for his actions and asked the court to be lenient on him.
During trial, the girl’s mother testified that on April 29, 2013, she discovered sores on her daughter’s private parts while bathing her.
She testified that she took her daughter for medical examination and that the doctor confirmed that she had syphilis.
She said the girl revealed to her that Chabala had been having sex with her.
And the girl testified that Chabala had sex with her while her mother was away in the bush.
She testified that she did not tell anyone that Chabala had sex with her because she was afraid.
And in another case before the same court, a 61-year-old man of Racecourse in Kitwe has been sentenced to 15 years imprisonment with hard labour for defiling a 13-year-old girl.
Mrs Justice Makungu yesterday upheld the conviction of Jordan Chikosa by the Kitwe Magistrate’s Court.
Particulars of the offence are that Chikosa on May 4, 2013 in Kitwe, had unlawful carnal knowledge of a girl under the age of 16.
In mitigation, Chikosa said he looks after his orphaned grandchildren and that his health is poor.
Mrs Justice Makungu said she had considered Chikosa’s mitigation and imposed a 15-year jail sentence on him which is the minimum sentence for defilement as prescribed by the law.

This has nothing to do with women not submitting to their husbands. The man is just a PEDOPHILE end of!!
A pedophile is a person 16 years of age or older who is primarily or exclusively sexually attracted to children who have not begun puberty (girls 10 years old or less…

What if it was your own 7 yrs old daughter who was defiled would you blame her too?
There are grown men who hide in the “bush path” used by school kids and wank infront of small girls.. would you also blame the kids ati ” abaiche baino nkulo ala bwafya”??? I pity your children for having such a foolish parent like you!

It should have been life imprisonment. The faka will probably not survive 30yrs in jail, most of these dirty bastards are HIV infected anyway. May he rot in Jail!!!

You guys are not normal. Anyway, I can’t expect someone who eats half humans (monkeys and baboons) to have a normal conscience. Look at what you have said here. Instead of arguing your case with facts there you are insulting me. Do you know why most tribes in Zambia except Bemba and Kaonde men shun Bemba women? Someone told me when i was young that if you want to die a confused, depressed and poor man them marry a Bemba wife. No money no respect, no sex, no nothing!

Help Guys!
Ala batila, uwutwala pabwingi tonaula.
I need an advise.
I married my wife a month ago. I noticed that she produces some white milky staff from her private parts (vigina) and most especially when having sex it drops like water. I’m worried, what could that, is it sickness or is it normal or what. Please advise.

All women produces “vaginal juices”… ébulowé kaili!!!
A dry vagina is too old and needs artifical lubricant from drug stores
Vaginal dryness: definition
Vaginal dryness is a common problem for women during and after menopause, although inadequate vaginal lubrication can occur at any age. Vaginal dryness is a hallmark sign of vaginal atrophy (atrophic vaginitis) — thinning and inflammation of the vaginal walls due to a decline in estrogen.
A thin layer of moisture coats vaginal walls. When sexually aroused, more blood flows to the pelvic organs, creating more lubricating vaginal fluid. But hormonal changes associated with menstrual cycle, aging, menopause, childbirth and breast-feeding may affect the amount and consistency of this moisture.

HIV contractions is rife in Africa beacuse many africans believes that a dry vagina is best. But you are all wrong!!
When you fak a dry vagina due to luck of lubrication you cause sores inside the organ making both sxual partners prone to infection.
Use your brain and educate yourself instead of spewing nonsense.

Did you marry your wife because of love or her vagina? If you love her discuss this with her. Seems to me that she is a normal woman, unless you force her to start using “african muti” used by most african women.. that includes stuffing newspapers and chemicals in the vagina.

Bemba women are the properly cultured of all tribes in Zambia. No death sentence because no one has the right to take another persons life.
