A 35-YEAR-OLD man of Kitwe has testified before the High Court how his friend was allegedly stabbed four times on his buttocks by two jerabos who later robbed him of his K7, 000.
In this case, Simeon Kalobo, 29, and Geoffrey Venda, 26, both suspected members of a notorious gang called jerabos, are facing one count of aggravated robbery.
Particulars of the offence are that Kalobo and Venda on August 10, this year, in Kitwe, jointly and whilst acting together with others, unknown and whilst armed with an offensive weapon, stole K7, 000 cash from Terry Kayamba.
Jack Kuchile said on the material day around 16:00 hours, he was in the company of his friend, who is the complainant in the matter.
He testified that the two went to the slug dump site, commonly known as Black Mountain, in Wusakile township where they were sent to check for machines.
The court heard that whilst there, Kalobo and Venda picked up a fight with the complainant and assaulted him on his upper lip.
“I accompanied him to Kitwe Central Hospital, and whilst the doctor was attending to him in his office, the two accused person’s came in the office in the company of four others and lifted Kayamba from the chair where he sat,” Kuchile said.
He narrated that Kalobo then got a knife and stabbed the complainant on his buttocks four times.
“I was also thrown into the van and they drove to Kantanta Street where they stopped the vehicle and started searching Kayamba and robbed him of his K7, 000,” he said.
Later, the matter was reported to the police where the two were charged and arrested with the subject offence.
High court judge Timothy Katanekwa adjourned the matter to October 19, 2015 for continued trial.

@NEZ……..these guy’s you call Jerabo’s play double standards,they are neither PF nor UPND. Ask HH if he never used to have meetings with Youngson(late Jerabo) whenever he was in Kitwe before the 20th January elections………ask your fellow UPND supporters if Youngson’s presence was never ever recognised at any of your rallies here in Kitwe. ……be sober minded whenever you make comments and ensure that you gather complete infor before making comments.

In Brazil the police or the poliza are the most feared on the streets because of the way they deal with self proclaimed gangsters who have no respect for the rule of law.They arrest and make you dissappear from the face of the earth.They worst no time with criminals.In Brazil Rio , it is bang bang you are 6 feet.watch you tube how poliza gets rid such oxymoron.

There is time for repentance and young son did so. He was not a criminal since criminals are found in jail.HH has plundered the assets of Zambia and no one can prove that and as a result he working freely in the streets of Zambia.We can call him a criminal unless proved by our able bodied courts. So I we man shut your mouth and wait for next year when our president Mr Changwa Edgar Lungu will be inaugurated for the 2nd time

Jerabos are so notorius that they have no regard for anybody regardless of their political affiliation. When they are driving in a convoy whether u like it not you have to move your vehicle out of the road for them to pass first.
