Deputy Headteacher Acquitted of Defilement
MKANDA Mateyo School deputy head teacher Nelson Tembo on Tuesday shed tears after the Chipata Magistrates’ Court acquitted him of the defilement charge he was facing. And the mother to the victim says it is shocking that her daughter has been denied justice. Magistrate Philip Mpundu acquitted Tembo, stating that the state had failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. After judgment, Tembo, who was in the company of his relatives, hugged his mother and wept outside the courtroom. In his judgment, magistrate Mpundu said the prosecution had difficulties establishing a case against Tembo as evidenced by the testimony of arresting officer, Grace Katyaka, who testified that she failed to connect the accused to the alleged offence but made up her mind to arrest him. He disclosed that despite the victim having being found in the accused’s house, the court had difficulties finding overwhelming evidence to prove that Tembo had sex with the minor. Magistrate Mpundu said the inconsistency exhibited by the arresting officer and revelations during cross-examination were that after visiting the scene of crime, there was no proof that Tembo had carnal knowledge of the minor. And the victim’s mother said her daughter had been denied justice by the court as the medical report indicated that she had been defiled on the material day when she was at Tembo’s house. She wondered who then defiled her daughter, adding that the family would analyse the judgment before taking the next step. – See more at: http://postzambia.com/news.php?id=9942#sthash.cmKIg3Yg.dpuf

..Govt and particulary the President and the minister of labour must take my advice very seriously cause this will have an effect on the election outcome.
When awarding salary increments to civil servants give a round figure across the board and not a percentage,some senior civil servants have a basic pay of K30,000 when ours is about K5,000.
For example a 20% increment will lead to a K36,000 to K6,000 outcome thus the gup between the rich and the poor will keep on widening further.
Government look into this issue seriously otherwise we wont vote for u

Zambia is a nation of wife beaters, period.
It runs in the blood. Some women even start to worry if a week passes by without beatings from their brutal husbands, because culturally, most Zambian women believe that if their husband does not beat them it means they d o n t love them enough.

In Zambia, many girls are sexually abused, harassed, and assaulted by teachers and male classmates. They are also subjected to sexual harassment and attack while travelling to and from school. Such abuse is a devastating and often
overlooked manifestation of the gender-based violence that occurs in numerous settings throughout Zambia.
Girls who experience incidents of sexual abuse in school rarely report them, fearing stigma, blame, retaliation, or unresponsiveness on the part of school authorities. These
fears are well justified; school and civil officials often fail to respond effectively to sexual harassment and violence in schools, and girls who do report are frequently unable to obtain redress. Yet these patterns of conduct cause serious physical and
emotional injuries to young girls, discourage them from continuing their education, and reinforce discriminatory patterns in the family and society.
