  1. K8500 only? How will it deter people from engaging in that vice? So with K17000 one would produce two videos and still get away with it. Those guys were supposed to be caged at least for 9 months and then fine them that amount. There are cracks in our laws for sure.

  2. …what I don’t comprehend is…why do couples film themselves doing it…??…is it for the purpose of reviewing what the were doing or as proof to friends that the two had it or what…..??….if we, as a so called Christian nation, consider this case ‘horrendous’, then let us amend the fine to six figures….
    …these guys live life of the present, that staff is on internet probably forever….imagine yourselves at 50 with teen children accessing the internet eeish…
    ..my advise to the lady is to convince the dude to marry her otherwise no man in his rightful mind can settle for her…apparently its different with the dude, despite such, he can marry any other woman without a fuss…
    ..the horror is, even today, some couples are busy recording themselves..eeish

  3. Hahahaha, Scrutinerzer, some Zambian guys likes challenges, the same girl in that video actually to them is a hot cake. They will try to hunt her like no man’s business until they test what bobby east felt. Mark my words you will hear.

    Thanks.

    • @ Mighty Shansha, true that!! Zambian men are vultures, they are busy hunting the ka girl paka che dyodyoli dyodyoli. I remember someone a facebook account for the ka Iris girl ati Team Iris Ummmmmmm. Lol

    • ..@Mighty…
      ..I do agree with you but she only be hunted for a ‘quick’…and not for a serious relationship like marriage…..Men do marry divorcees or someone who has been a relationship before…..but seeing your ‘wife to be’ in a live act like that….very few men would stand that I can assure you…..
      ..once there was a couple who were attacked by armed men at their home and one of the bandits ended up rapping the wife right in front of the husband…..a year later they divorced just because of what the husband witnessed………
      ..he went thru psychological counselling what not nothing worked. He just lost the appetite for the wife completely.
      Despite him witnessing that the wife was forced to do it…..he asked her why she was responding…shaking her…..hahahaha

  4. To every rule there is an exception. The dual after that sin conducted themselves in a very remorseful manner and did not deny the fact that they did error. Retribution is not always law and ultimate. Certainly, the dual have learnt lesson enough and require reformation now. Looking at their disposition, they look and appear meant for each other, why cant they consider marrying and live like husband and wife? Seem comfortable with each other. what a suit by default.

  5. Uyu Chikamba should have been fined more. Ale angasha umunani. Alekachita kwati kalini. Alingile ukubika umudodido properly mpaka kaumfwa mumolu kwati namukukila ulusato….

  6. The guy should have been charge more for wasting the girls time because he has the weapon but failed to use it in bed. The anaconda in his trousers did not do a good job. Let him learn some lessons on how it is done than wasting the well built weapon.
    Thanks

  7. It proves the judgment was right as the comments of bloggers indicate the dual were real amartures who were just excited. Had they been real ones they would have shown skill at work but alas . This is more reason if they considered marrying as they look liking each other with love, they would pass through alangizi to help them up. Please spare them and let them refresh and settle down . Guys , keep away from her and gals keep away from him. Let the two think through their acts and resolve within themselves into better citizens and ambassadors of good will through their stage talent.
