The Lusaka High Court has sentenced Clifford Dimba, commonly known as General Kanene to 18 years with hard labour for defiling an underage girl.
In his judgment, Lusaka High Court Judge, Chalwe Muchenga said the sentencing is meant to deter would be offenders because the scourge is escalating.
This was in a matter in which the Lusaka Magistrates’ Court convicted Kanene for allegedly defiling a 14-year-old schoolgirl contrary to the Laws of Zambia.
On February 4, 2014, Lusaka magistrate Rodgers Kaoma convicted Kanene after finding him guilty of defilement and committed him to the High Court for sentencing.
It was alleged that Kanene on unknown dates but between January 31 and February 1, 2012 in Lusaka had unlawful carnal knowledge of a girl under the age of 16 but he had denied committing the offence.
Right time, I hope that is the end of the man.
It is sick to sleep with a minor, unforgivable.
If you want to sleep with someone, we are here, not a minor.
Thanks
thanks Mushota,i have always suspected you to be a lihule.
I’ll come for for you @MUSHOTA
ALRIGHT, EVERYTHING SAID AND DONE BUT AT WHAT COST OR WHAT LESSONS HAVE WE LEARNT FROM THIS SAD KANNENE SAGA? KANENE’S FUTURE IS DERAILED AND ALL THOSE WHO DEPENDED ON KANENE ARE ALL AFFECTED BY WHAT SOME PEOPLE MAY TERM “SEXUAL STUPIDITY”! WHAT ABOUT THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE GIRL HERSELF AND POSSIBLY HER PARENTS? WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE PARENTS WHO SEND THEIR UNDER-AGE CHILDREN TO NIGHT CLUBS FOR FINANCIAL GAINS? WHAT ABOUT THOSE UNDER-AGE GIRLS WHO DECIDE TO SELL SEX FOR A LIVING? WHAT ABOUT GIRLS WHO MAY NOT EVEN KNOW THEIR AGE AND BY THEIR PHYSICAL APPEARANCES THEY LOOK LIKE THEY ARE ABOVE THEIR AGES? WHAT ABOUT THOSE YOUNG GIRLS WHO CAPITALISE ON OLDER MEN THAN THEM, AS SAID, EXPOSE THEMSELVES TO THESE DRUNKEN MEN, SELL THEIR BODIES FOR SOMETHING, ETC? HOW MANY SUCH CASES ARE…
Justice done. If u don’t have brains be isolated before u spoil the good country Happy with that
That’s the price for mocking the judiciary (Size 9). Serves you right Gen. kanene

The truth is no one is above the law, justice has taken its course…
He messed up big time, but then how long do they put away those guys who defile 2 year olds considering that this was a 14 year old victim….should be at least 50 years ka??
THIS IS VERY UN FAIR WHY THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE OF THE MONOR WAS NOT PRODUCED, THIS IS A PURE TRAPE TO DIMBA,AND AGAIN THE COURT AWS SUPPOSE TO CHECK THE BACKGROUND LIFE OF DIMBA, WETHER HE HAVE DONE SUCH A CASE BEFORE, IF NOT, THE COURT WAS SUPPOSE TO DISCOUNT THE NUMBER OF YEARS 18 YEARS IS TOO MUCH FOR SOMEONE WHO HAVE DONE SUCH A CASE FOR THE FIRST TIME, PLAESE GOD ASSIST KANENE IN THE PRISON
The bottom line is that we are all promoting our intrests. pipo who knew the truth is Kanene and the girl. Do parents know when the girl started having sex? lets change laws to help both men and women.
