A trader, 36, yesterday tearfuly narrated in a Ndola magistrate’s court how a peasant farmer of the same age allegedly raped her while she was on her way home from the market in Tug Argan area.
The woman told magistrate Iduma Ikechukwu that on March 1, around midnight while in the company of a security guard from the market, a man accosted her for no apparent reason.
This is in a case involving Terry Sinkonde, 36, of Munkulungwe near Tug Argan area who is alleged to have raped the woman on March 1.
In her testimony, the woman told the magistrate amid sobs that Sinkonde was trailing her and after a while, he by-passed her while she was in the company of a security guard identified as Jordan Changwe.
Sinkonde stood in front and questioned Mr Changwe why he was escorting the woman and threatened to hit him with a metal rod if he did not leave immediately.
The woman said Sinkonde dragged her into the nearby bush where he squeezed her throat before tearing off her clothes including the underwear.
She said Sinkonde threatened to insert the metal rod in her private parts if she continued to struggle. The man then forced himself on her as she lay on the ground helplessly.
She said after being raped, she walked to Sinkonde’s parents’ home to report what he had done and spent the rest of the night there.
She then reported the matter to Indeni Police Post the following morning.
In cross examination, Sinkonde asked the woman what made her sure that it was him she saw when they did not meet each other that day.
The woman told the court that she could not mistake Sinkonde for another person because she ha known him for a long time.
And Mr Changwe, 43, said in his testimony that he was escorting the woman home from the market because she was afraid to move alone at night.
Mr Changwe told the court that the two recognised Sinkonde who ordered him not to escort the woman any further and threatened to beat him.
Officers from Tug-Argan Barracks apprehended Sinkonde on March 2.
A medical report indicated that the woman sustained a swollen forehead, red eye, bruises on neck and thigh and had spermatozoa on her private parts.
Meanwhile, a nine-year-old boy yesterday narrated in a Kitwe magistrate’s court how a 28-year-old man had unnatural sex with him.
The boy told the court that the man told him that it was possible for two men to have sex just as having sex with a person of the opposite sex.
This was in a case in which Kenneth Phiri is charged with sodomy, which he is alleged to have committed in January.
The boy testified before acting principal resident magistrate Charles Zulu that in January, he was watching football at a ground in Kawama township when Phiri asked him to escort him.
The court heard that the boy agreed to escort Phiri to take a car battery to the owner, but on their way back, he asked the boy if he would accept what he was going to ask him.
The boy told the court that Phiri asked him if he knew that men could have sex with each other but that he refused.
The boy told the court that Phiri later told him that he wanted to have sex with him and he would show him how men had sex with each other. The court further heard that Phiri grabbed the boy and took him to his house in the toilet where he sodomised him.
Phiri gave the boy K2,000 and threatened that he would be killed if he told anyone about what happened.
The trial continues on April 15.

Man to man (Yakumbuyo) is enjoyable?
The name of the magistrate sounds Nigerian.
This man should be severely punished. Parliament should pass tough laws to convict people who commit such cowardly acts.
Iyo ndiye chimo manje!!that man shud be jailed…why not slaughter women patronising National Assembly motel!!!many of them are ready for that not a small boy…..most women who were demonstrsting,I wasn’t there though,are regular patrons of National assembly motel…
noooooooooo. not a boy 9, please. The man must be punished severely.
What has become of some human beings? It is up to you to provide the answer(s).
get them behind bars cos these two guys are a danger to our society.
This woman even says she was laying there relaxed waiting for a man to finish she really enjoyed it why didnt she shoult?, why did the other guy leave?,if this is real this other guy would have reported to the police after leaving this woman in danger. coming to the real issue its like the security man and the accused collided on this chick no wonder they are making this story or he refused to pay the right amount after he relieved himself. This is fake.
as for this other guy the law should teach him that god is wise to creat a man and a woman to have normal sex and bear children, let him be punshed severly. Sorry for the young boy who learned it in a wrong way.
Vya kulola sile, this man needs Jesus in his life, some body should preach to him, meanwhile the law should take its course, if he has a psychiatric problem, most likely he has, he needs counselling too. Don’t know why we should seek so low.
this is serious, wats happening to this generation???
we nid deliverance, mind you we are reaching the close of time the world is comming to an end. mind wat u do.
That sorts her right, which rural market operates upto midnight. What was she doing with that old finished sempya.
#11 why is your world coming to an end are you dying of an incurable disease or do you want to take it yourself? In all the past generations all sorts of things happened including what you think is new to you, only difference is people like me came to open up your blind eyes for you and everyone to see what is reality and not some imaginary stories. Before the HIV pandemic africans never discussed sex and sexual crimes, (like my cousin crawling to my bed in the middle of the night leaving his wife in bed fast asleep, when he tried to abuse me i was a minor on vacation) when i told my relatives, they kept quite and never discussed it, because my cousin was the only bread winner.
#12 I totally agree with you except for the bad language. How did this woman find her self coming from the market at that time?
And this malonda guy should be ashamed. If what he is testifying is true, he should be put behind bars for not calling for help! Why did he sort the guy out? Isnt such part of duties. Shame on the woman!
i really feel for the lil young boy…Dammmmm Zed has really changed huh…SHAME!!!!!
paedophile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
twisted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
vile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
digusting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The law needs to be changed. You cant do that to a 9 year old innocent child. what has that child done to deserve being subjected to such evil act.
For the secuty guard to leave the woman with another man after confratation,was cowardly! by the way what was the purpose of excorting the lady? these guys should tel the court the trueth!
It’s like the perpetrator and the lady knew each other very well hence them the recognition even in the dark! for the other gentlman to leave alone,the acused must have told the guard about their relationship,which could have been on rocks,but that doen’t make him innocent for what he did! but circumstancial evidence must be taken serious,coz rape is a very serious crime,he might go in prison for a long time!
Rape cases are not easy cases to prosecute or defend,and should be taken serouly!
i cannot coment anything for now but i just feel pity for the boy and for the son of the b**h he shoukld die behind bars as well as pipo like him…
why can’t we start hanging some of this fools
I think the security also yaps the lady ,he new the man is the original guy who yaps the woman.They all know wat went on .That lady was mad because maybe the malonda promised her money but the other guy interrupted and had some free sex.Now she just want to punish him.because what market opens around that time.
Sinkonde must have been mad that his regular had a ‘new’ catch, which would explain the brute force.All the same he is charged with rape and whatever his defence, I see him going in and this time around being hammered by fellow men in jail.Women are not sex objects and the best sex is consensual.Imagine Sinkonde doing that to your sister…
#12 WHY DO YOU LIKE BAD LANGUEGE (INSULTS) CAN’T YOU JUST SAY THINGS IN A NORMAL WAY? HONESTLY SPEAKING CAN YOU INSULT WERE YOU COME FROM (YOUR MOTHER’S PRIVATE PART). IF THAT IS YOUR NAME THEN I CAN PUT BLEM ON YOUR FATHER FOR NAMING YOU YOUR MOTHER’S PART. LEARN TO COMMENT ON THE MATTER THAN INSULTS.
PLEASE IF YOU DONT HAVE SOMETHING TO COMMENT JUST LEAVE IT TO PEOPLE WITH KNOWLEDGE OF COMMENTS.
CONCERNED.
TOO BAD TO THE LITTLE BOY. AND A WOMAN WHAT WAS SHE DOING AT MID-NIGHT? SHE DESERVED TO BE RAPED. BECOUSE ONLY THE DAVIL WORKS DURING THE NIGHT.
OOOOOOOH MAY BE SHE NEEDED CAPITAL FOR BUSINESS
Prisca #23, does someone have a right to rape you every time you move at night.You need to get liberated woman! You have the same rights as men. And your right to freedom of movement is not tied to a particular hour. what you should be advocating is improved police presence to ensure all citizens enjoy their rights.You have the right to the intergrity of your person and protection of law against being harmed.Did you know?
what manner of lust to this fools posses,very shallow minded *****s who need to be taught the art of masturbation.I propose in zambia they inact a law in which they should start cutting d**ks once caught in such acts,and stick it in the ass,we are sic en tired.
priscilla are you a woman pls,consider your self,or may be you are uot of yor mind
The law should castrate the man who raped the nine year old boy and as for the women I am not saying that she got what she deserved I would have taken my chances and fault him screamed, kicked, scratched bit him where ever, no man has a right to envade anyone because they want to they should use something artificial and do to him what was done to the women from behind and castrate him and make him hold it in his hand and take a picture for a demonstration of what will happen to the next one, what is Africa coming too
Any man who rapes, regardles of gender he mounts illegally, out to have his dirty smelly sausage cut off to teach him a lesson. Both the fools sited here must have their dicks severed off so that they will never have a chance to b e a menace to society.
I wish the law moved to direction of #27 Sncere and #28 Njangwamuloti. There is no way us as human beings will stop thinking properly and over take the animals. I stand to be corrected, even dogs they don’t force themselves. What about us, human beings with negotiating skills.When one is found, there should be a stiff punishment.
Prisca#23 because you work” the streets in daylight does not make you any better than your nightshift counterpart. Sexual abuse of any kind on women and children is bad and the men who does this must be punished! Look at the report of a disgusting rapist in South Africa who targeted vulnerable women promising them work but ended up killing 16 of them in broad day light he was charged with 507 years in prison, in countries like yours he would be back on the streets after bribing 50-100 pini! Little babies dont walk around at night when they are abused. Prisca you are foolish.
chineke! nigerian magistrate
#30 you are foolish too. i dont move during the night bcoz i am scered of been raped. you know what its not good for a woman to move at night becouse men ussually get advantage of us, and you know we dont have much power than them, you can sream but when people realise that somedoby is sreaming then that ***** is through with his work. so my friend # 30 prevation is better than cure.
who knows may be she is HIV positive from that very day? so prevent.
#26 do you what you are talking about. you are out of your mind too. do not move during the night to prevent rape.
my follow women prevantion is better than cure. if you dont know those men who are raping women most of them are HIV positive. so avoid moving at night alone.
poor woman make sure that you go for HIV tests and for the court do your job.
Prisca, you are so narrow minded and a disgrace to all women. I cannot believe that a woman would actually say that the victim was asking for it because she was moving at night. Are we then to assume that all women should be locked up at night for their own protection against males who cannot control their own selfish lust? I would have expected some sympathy to be shown towards the victim not condemnation and scorn.
Prica you’re really a foolish bushwoman! Do you think sexual abuses only happens at night? What about all those little babies who cannot even walk when they are abducted from their parents homes and raped by neighbours or strangers in broad day light. Sometimes its better to keep quiet than say stupid things like you did.
WELL SAD 4 BOTH I HOPE THE RAPISTS DIDNT PASS ON ANY DISEASE ESPECIALLY THE LITTLE BOY WHO HAS THE WHOLE FUTURE AHEAD
the guard must be punished for leaving his work to escort the woman. this woman should have known how to move and should not expect the guard to esort her while he had work to do. these two must lovers and the other chap just hijacked the lady.
Come on fellow zambians rape is rape,no should mean no lets have repect for our women.Regardless what trade she is in or what time she was out, the woman does not deserve to be attacked.As for Prisca what a shame you think she needed capital.but as a civilized people lets allow the law to prevail,so innocent till proven guilty should apply.how could this woman have had a chance if she was being choked and this guy had an iron bar
