An eight (8) year old minor of Choma yesterday told the Choma Magistrate Court how her Germany stepfather Bernd Hieke allegedly sexually defiled her in their family house.
The minor, who is a grade three (3) pupil at a named local private School in Choma, told the court presided by magistrate Jackob Mbolele how Hieke used to sneak into her bedroom to have sex with her.
She told the court that her stepfather had on two occasions allegedly sexually abused her in their home during which time the accused threatened the minor not to tell her mother.
The minor told the packed courtroom that Heike had promised to continue buying her presents which the mother never provided because he loved her.
The 60 year old German step father, of House number 251 Mochipapa road in Choma is facing defilement charges contrary to section 128 sub section one of the penal code chapter 87 of Laws of Zambia.
Hieke who is currently serving as a financial controller at Southern Water and Sewerage Company (SAWSCO) in Choma is alleged to have defiled a minor aged 8 years.
According to particulars of offence, Bernd Hieke on the dates unknown but between 2010 and 22nd February 2011 at Choma district in the Southern Province in the Republic of Zambia had carnal knowledge of a minor under the age of 16 years.
Mr. Heike is being represented by defence lawyer Milner Katolo from Milner Katolo and Associates of Lusaka.
And testifying in the same case, the minor’s mother, Sonya Heike 32, of house number 251 Mochipapa road in Choma told the court that she only became aware that her daughter was sexually abused by her husband through a stench which was coming from her daughter private parts.
The trial Magistrate Jacob Mbolela adjourned the matter to 11th May,2011 for continuation of trial.

Umusungu!!!! yes bwana!!!!!!!
Cage the alien. This is unforgivable. Where are we going kanshi? Can Lifwekelo and Gregory Chifire condemn these acts please.
By the way how did such a 60 year old foreigner get a big job at a State owned utility company? What type of country are we kanshi? Dont we have competent graduates to handle such jobs? This smacks of CORRUPTION.
oh dear.I hate such stories.Why would a big man do such a thing to a little girl. Ladies please don’t leave your daughters with step fathers,uncles or cousins.Please castrate these animals make eunuchs out of them, thats the only way we will stop such crimes.
porous borders, laws, govt , police and everything. He will go scort  free since he is some old muzungu. This is unimaginable hw a big python snake can enter a small hole meant for an ant. Court judgement: 60 yr old Germany national jailed for 25 yrs with hard labour for defiling 8 yr old girl…………..just joking……… 60 yr old Germany national set free for lack of evidence and sues state for damages
Â
Senseless government, imbecile leaders, we end up with defunct senile foreigners in state firms.
Perhaps the writer of the story should have not mentioned the culprit to protect the identity of the child and her mother. She will grow up with everyone in the neighbourhood knowing that she was made a hule when very young by thug step-father. This is perhaps one main reason against devorce…the kids end up being taken as chattels by their step parents.
Got the job through GTZ, main funders for the utility company.
Our kids are so vulnerable…”may your kingdom come” come quickly mwe.
This is just wrong, so WRONG! The mother became aware that her daughter was sexually abused by her husband through a stench which was coming from her daughter’s private parts. You sick, filthy, rotten pig!!! You have stolen her childhood innocence all because of you lust! This poor child needs a lot of Counseling.
No one wants to excuse the alleged abuse of the girl by this German man but there is no need to bring xenophobia into the issue. There are many Zambian men who have also committed the same crime so there is no need to start throwing stones at somebody simply because he is a foreigner and to put the blame on the current Zambian government. Unfortunately, this kind of thing goes on all around the world and I sincerely hope that if this man is found guilty he is severely punished for what he has done.
There are very few instancez a young Zambian lady haz married an older white man where there are no contentious issuez. But like # 11 said this scourge cuts across race and so this man should not be treated az a special case. Â
Our students say that you should ask Mushota who is living with a similar old man and she will tell you that it is not strange for some old whites to abuse minors including their own daughters. The trend has now come to Zambia where some fake witch doctors tell HIV positive people to sleep with minors in order for them to get healed. Race aside, the court should cage the evil man.
can the NGOS take up this case please
The court should not let that guy off the hook here in Europe you will be caged for that kind of thing and that old man is very much aware that he will be put in the offenders register the moment he comes back here and will not be allowed near kids for life, please cage him NGO’S do your job this time around.
Just Cut Zimene.
This goes to show the importance of the subject I wrote about published with extra-ordinary filters preventing discussion.
All the perverts from the west live in third world countries preying on unsuspecting women. So many Zambian girls have been molested and lots of parents looked away ati pantu musungu. My neighbors daughter was 15 when her mother let her marry a 50 year old American man and it turned out he had been molesting children in Mexico as well.
#13, who is Mushota?
no. 3. The water and sewarage companies in Zambia are no longer Governmnet entities. The Germans are funding water projects in the country and even running some companies like the Southern and the Northwestern One. I dont like this arrangement either. Zambians can run these companies like the Copperbelt one which is being run by a Zambian.
Cage the sicko? Hopefully some chap in the gaol will make him his girlfriend.
As I have suggested before. Zambia should publicize sex offendere by plastering their pictures on posters and putting them up everywhere is public. Sex education should also be taught to children in churches and schoole about what is appropriate where touch is concerned.
Sonyia 32yrs old Heike 60yrs old Step daughter 8yrs old. Sonyia what was your reaction when you discovered that your 60yrs Heike was molesting your 8yrs old daughter? My dear divorce that Heike he does not love you he just want to harm your daughter He is not a man to live with If you wont be careful he will strungle your daughter and leave the country without your knowledge He is a cruel man
The airport needs to have access to the internet so they can check these white men on the sex offender list. It is that simple! Countless number of times I have been at the airport and noticed white people entering the country like they are just entering a mini bus, customs agents grinning from ear to ear like they have never seen a muzungu before, but guess what these are the same people who abuse our children and promote homosexuality etc. If I ever become president the first law I will handle is this issue and I will make sure punishment is to CUT your genitals if you defile a child. All it takes is one example and all this will come to an end.
The one thing people should realize is that third world countries are haven to pedophiles because of the poor laws and enforcement. Like someone suggested, distribute the pictures of these *****s. There should be more due diligence when admitting these dogs into the country. At 60 he is of not use in Germany, but as usual because of our inferiority complex we hired him over a young UNZA graduate who grow with the job.
Too bad for that,he should face it.
Let me tell you one thing,If we need Zambia to be called a christian nation we should cut off such culprits and don’t hestate to take action.
Cage the ***** he belongs to Chimbokaila
Let this white man starts off to his home country. How can a normal person be enoying both the mother and the daughter. Naiwe mukashana, 32 years you marry a white a white man of 60 years, yangu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ati mwaliupwa kumusungu? These are the consequences of marrying total strangers, they start feasting on your innocent daughters.
JESUS !!!!
this ***** needs to go in, skip trial and just arrest him. its a shame, pity the girl.
This man is even over and above the statutory retirement age 55. 60 yrs ???????. Where is this monkey? in remand or still working while on Police Bond. Such cases need speedy trial before this white monkey flees. And these people Germans are the worst racists in the world.
So wrong – Sick beyond sick.! Arrest him accordingly and let him serve 50 years in a Zambian jail where the crime was committed. Child molestation is growing – uncles, nannies and garden boys, grand fathers and neighbour are molesting young girls in Zambia and it is really sad that this has become a habit. The girl child is at risk.
White men and black men both offend – just because this incident is by a white man it does not excuse the Zambian black men who rape children…!
