A 32-year-old man of Kalomo District in Southern Province has been slapped with a 20-year prison sentence with hard labour for defiling an 11-year –old girl.

Livingstone High court Judge slapped the sentence on Justin Chashi of Kalomo district.

ZANIS reports that Particulars of the offence were that on 30 January, last year in Kalomo district, Foster Muchimba of Kalomo District, in Kalomo had canal knowledge of an 11 year old girl of Kalomo district contrary to section 137 subsection 1 chapter 87 of the laws of Zambia.

In mitigation, Muchimba asked for the courts lenience because he was a family man with three children and he was the first offender.

In passing judgement, Judge Chashi said he had taken note of the mitigation, but that there was an increase in defilement cases in Southern Province.

In the same court, Judge Chashi sentenced a 33- year- old man of Itezhi-tezhi district to 15 years imprisonment with hard labor for indecent assault.

On 12 January last year, the accused indecently assaulted a complainant only identified as Grace of the same area.

At first I thought it was Justin chashi who was at fault. LT check your reporting.

Number 3, These things are happening everywhere in the country. LT is currently carrying a story about a Lundazi man who defiled his step daughter, thanks.

There are only two things you will find loitering in a Tonga man’s head all the time, HH for president and fornication/adultery/incest. Mwatu sabila imyebo basuntwe pe!

What do these Tonga Mutts eat? Is it in their genes to screw anything that looks like it that can easilly be gotten…..?

Tribalism is as bad as racism. These men certainly do not represent all Tonga’s. I’m sure other people of different tribes fornicate just as much. You cannot judge an entire tribe based on few that make the headlines. Get your facts right before you spew your hatred towards your fellow country men.
