  1. Unfortunately cases like this are very hard to prosecute. It’s a “he said, she said” kind of case. Or in this case who has the most money and power. Unfortunately most women are victims of sexual harassment especially by their bosses. The problem is no one believes the victim no matter how genuine.

  2. Lock up this Palin bugger. This Indian foreigner should leave our women alone. In fact he should also be investigated if he is an illegal immigrant.
    Please women don’t keep quiet when you see your boss behaving in a funny manner. Imagine Palin, if it was your wife or daughter being abused by her boss, how would you feel.
    Shamenda make sure this guy is thoroughly investigated and if he is found wanting, lock him up, and throw the keys in the Indian ocean. But I just hope taba baboshefye ba Mayo aba.

  3. I didn’t know the guy is Indian. He probably has a “small prick mentality.” We all know how Indians have to have their condoms made smaller because the regular are too big. If you don’t believe me, google it!

  4. This woman is just being used by one of the Zambian Junior bosses to Palin for his promotion. Ba Shamenda how are u going to proof this case because no one was around when she claims she was sexually abused. This case will just embarrass you at the end of the day this could be one the ladies who wants to make money out of such claims and why is it that what ever a woman claims u believe it, its not fair a lot of men have been abused by women but such cases dies natural deaths what type of justice is this in country? for me I dot believe this lady she is cheating

    • You must be an illiterate fellow Indian to Palin. There has been 2 other women who have launched a complaint against the same Palin. He has been brutalising Zambian Game Store female employees for years and all you can comment is support for such rubbish behaviour! What kind of urgly creature are you? Zambian women are at the receiving end of most of the abuse by the Indian shop owners and their managers. Most of then suffer this indignation in silence. Thank God for this brave Zambian women our women employees at Game store can finally reclaim their dignity.

    • You are an Imb.ecile ,nobody must condone such in our country.He also has a child with one of the girls he was abusing and in south Africa he was under investigation for sexual abuses.

  5. Looking at this girls face in the post yesterday made me laugh, honestly people does this girl look straight ? Just asking , LMFHO !

    • I agree with you! Worse still – check her face book page and you will realise that she up to making money out of nothing – of course with the help of the fake NGOs – her aunt doesn’t support her nonsense.
      Just wait and see when the dust settles because that is when her suffering will start! The so called briefcase NGO will be long gone and no sane employer will want to employ such a person!
      Whether true or not, which employer can want such a worker who can easily raise such a case against you even if it is false? I wouldn’t and neither would Mr Phiri next door. Let her enjoy the short lived fame and face real the world later!

    • Of course the looks matter – are you mad also?
      Why do you think Reverends wear those long robs; or why do you think solders wear that camouflage uniform? What they wear gives them the gravitas or demeanour just from looking at them!! Even hookers wear short skirts to show that they are ready and willing for business!
      What you look usually reflects your lifestyle too – so looks matter a lot especially on the first occassion!

  6. Elo lyanya. That is the way to go ba shimenda. These chaps think because they come from a better country economically, they are free to do what they want. Let us show them that Zambia is a country of laws.
