Sad stories coming out of my beloved country…Lord have mercy…
The picture is carrying a message that encourages men to have sex with beasts that is also an illegal act. Bestiality is a crime too, they should have paid a prostitute they provide a satisfactory service.
Point of correction ba LT. Please note that the term ‘imbecile’ is derogatory and insulting to the person and is no longer used like this. The accepted term nowadays is ‘Mentally disabled’.
Olo ni get rich or die tryin, imbecile sure? Am sure that what the witch doctor prescribed in order for the juju to work.
This is wrong on so many levels.. Who rapes a helpless old woman.. Cowards!!! Ok!!…Use a goat?? Are u kidding me??? She’s worse than the 2 rapists… And at over 70 should be “save the woman” ,”save the old lady” in fact!! Its times like these when I imagine Tony Montana jus killing everything associated with this!
@brabus??? Mentally disabled, Imbecile,*****,fool.. Same class…. Mentally CHALLENGEDDDD!!!
@Brabus gets my vote. Such derogatory words on such a forum, media standards need to be polished up in zambia!
For us living in diaspora when reading such stories our pride as a Zambian a country with full of good culture we feel deeply ashamed. What sort of enjoyment
Sad reading.Jail those 2 fools who raped the defenceless 74 year old.Jail that fool who dumped an innocent soul
Sad story indeed.
However, what has caught my attention, is the photo leading the story, the poster for the International Women’s Day, seems to be encouraging BEASTIALITY!!!! I wonder whether this is the message our womenfolk want to pass on to the guys – Nonetheless, I’m not encouraging defilement, THE MESSAGE SHOULD BE ABOUT RESPECT & RESPONSIBILITY individually as well as community wide!!!
Foolish woman in the pic promoting bestiality to save the girl child. Filling a Hole by digging another. Even the boy child is vounerable.
Too bad :(
The young men should be caged forthwith! The old lady is old enough to be their great grand, are there no sex workers in their area? This what unemployment can do, it is the politicians to blame!
