President Lungu has pardoned Clifford Dimba popularly known as General Kanene and urged him to be an ambassador in the fight against Child defilement. And President Edgar Lungu has commuted the death sentences of all 332 condemned prisoners at Kabwe’s Mukobeko Maximum Security Prison to life imprisonment.
The President said this is in exercise of the powers vested in him by Article 56 of the constitution of Zambia.
Dimba was serving an 18 year jail sentence with hard labour for defiling a 14 year old girl.
Speaking when he toured and commissioned the procured Agricultural equipment for the Zambia Prisons Service at Mukobeko Maximum Security Prison in Kabwe this afternoon, the Head of State notes the holding capacity for condemned section at the prison is 48 for male prisoners and 3 for female inmates, but that the prison holds over three hundred male prisoners and 8 female prisoners.
And President Lungu says government in collaboration with the government of China has procured four milling plants to address the mealie meal and food challenges in the prisons as well as to contribute to raising revenue for the institution.
He says this is aimed at boosting agriculture production by 200 percent as directed by late President Michael Sata.
The President who touched down at Mukobeko Maximum Security Prison at exactly 10hrs, says it is gratifying he will be commissioning the new central mechanical workshop which has been constructed to service vehicles for the Zambia Prisons Service and ministry of Home Affairs.
Speaking at the same event, Commissioner General of the Zambia Prisons Service, Percy Chato promised to work hard in transforming the Zambia Prisons Service into a service that will allow inmates to transform before they are released.
Mr. Chato says the service has embarked on a number of programs with the help of other partners in helping prisoners reform and become individuals.

May the good Lord bless our republican president Mr EL. Truly u ar what i knw u are. Stay safe presido, I knew that u undastood the cry of this Dimba guy. God bless u.
HOW COME? its too early for kanene to be released Lungu’s goverment is useless.
good development for general kanene.but be faithful now to yours wives.
Thank you Edgar! In my opinion the sentence was just excessive! God will always “prevail” in the circumstances where justice seems to be mis-applied!!! Kanene may have “erred” but I doubt if that amounted to defilement.
Viva E.L.
GM.

JJB –
All these people were not born like that even Satan was not made Satan, even Kanane was not born as a defiler so every body has got a chance to change and to be forgiven.
1. Hitler
2. Saddam
3. Idi Amin Dada
4. George W. Bush (killing innocent Iraqis on false wars)
5. P.W. Botha
6. Ian Smith
7. Mobutu Seseseko
8. Osama Bin Laden
9. Shaka Zulu
Lastly 10. Chipata aka Fort Jameson!
Good point, so therefore God doesnt choose leaders for you, in short, one might be born good, gets elected and then voila! he becomes an id!ot president!
E.g Hitler was a good chap who fought thru his ranks to be a leader, Saddam born with a silver spoon, GW Bush born rich child of a former president Bush senior, Osama born in a Bin Laden Dynasty of oil rich Saudi Arabia, Shaka born as an iShaka fought his way up, Amin born poor… so all these leaders were basically born humble not as schizophrenic psychotic patients, what happened then? – POWER.
good i Lik thé move
I am now waiting for a praise song for President Lungu from Kanene.
That woman is not a 14 year old child. She is a mature person who is found in bars. Did anyone see her birth certificate? Kanene did not deserve to be in jail in the first place. I am happy he is out.
General Kanene is listening to Freedom by Akon
Attase fyabupuba ifyo, dats same lyk Praising the late Jerabo kingpin @ he was helping other people so he wz a good man, nosense, if it wasn”t a common general! if t was u wu cant sing for lungu u wud have died frm prison… Let him release evry1 wu defiled any Female in the country, wats so specio abt a zed musician. if u wer a parent for the yung girl or the young girl herself how duz it feel… ma labbbisshshhh.
This gov’t is easily corrupted. Jst one stupid song u release a defiler after serving jst 1year out of 18. Wat rubbish… That z wat i call corruption, its nt only abt mane…bt evn a song…president busy frustrating da wrk of our courts…wait till he defiles yo Tasila of a daughter…malabish
I know alot of people are disgusted, you arent alone this is how petty Zambian politics are, the president didnt need to take time all that was needed is a song. Actually Kanene wast even suppose to releasing songs looking at the judgemt he got with hard labour! Yet we have prisoners still languishing in prisons with ‘soft collar’ crimes like an Accountant who failed to balance his books and his boss sends him to prison. I advise all prisoners to make choirs and start doing praise & worship songs for aLungu, prisons will stop being crowded.
JJB – God choose leaders remember David and Moses, God choose them but what happened with David, he became big headed grabbing other peoples wives Moses when God told him to bring water from the rock what did he say to the people, he said me and my brother have given you water and God was not happy at all but he was the one who choose he.
may the good lord be praizd, and wish G.kanene a complete changed heart viva to our president,yours Balaba Mwinewake.
@ moma : dumela mma? Le tsogile jang? (morning). Le thotse jang ? (In the afternoon) – setswana sa bo rre. I can speak some silozi as well.
