THE Non Governmental Organization Coordinating Council NGOCC says Cliford Dimba popularly known as General Kanene must go back to prison as he was a danger to society.

NGOCC executive director Engwase Mwale said kanene needed more time in prison in order for him to learn to appreciate the rights of women and children.

Ms. Mwale was reacting to Kanene’s behavior a week after he was pardoned from prison by president Edigar Lungu.

It is alleged that the newly appointed ambassador for gender based violence beat up one of his three wives after she denied him sex on sunday.

Ms Mwale said that her organisation was concerned with the manner in which Kanene was pardoned and since written to the president asking him to reconsider its decision.

She said the reasons of his pardon were in any way convincing and as such Kanene must be allowed to serve his full jail sentence because he still had a long way to go where respect for women was concerned.

“For us as NGOCC the rights of women and children are of paramount importance and any body who disrespects this fact must not be entertained in the society and therefore our position is that Kanene mus go back to jail and finish his sentence may be he will learn to respect women”, she said.

AND POLICE say they have not received any complaint concerning General Kanene’s   alleged beating of one of his three wives.

Police spokes person Charity Munganga Chanda said in an exclusive interview yesterday that her team was still waiting for a report from the victim but however confirmed having seen the pictures and stories on social media.

    • THAT WOMAN IS NOT SINCERE IF IT IS TRUE SHE DENIED HER HUSBAND KANENE OF HIS CONJUGAL RIGHTS. SOMETHING MIGHT BE COOKING IN THE WOMAN’S LIFE ESPECIALLY AFTER THE HUSBAND WAS THROWN INTO PRISON. SOME WOMEN CAN NEVER BE TRUSTED REALLY.

    • @Truth: you are a useless savage. Marital differences can be resolved in many nonviolent ways including divorce.

  1. The guy should complete his 18 year jail term as charged. He is a threat to the the feminine gender, a bull on the run.

  2. This article is so poorly written and full of contradictions arising from the poor language. LT please proof read your articles before publishing them. Sadly this is the result of a poor education system.
    No one wants to mess with this Kanene issue because he was pardoned by EL. EL needs to sort it out by revoking the pardon! Most of us were aghast when we learnt of the pardon! A lawyer pardoning a rapist!

  3. Iwe Engwase have you never sinned in life?You are stupid lady.God forgives us every day who are you not forgive Kanene?Galu iwe!

  4. Even these organisation are headed by empty suits who debate about minor issues completely ignoring the bigger picture instead of debating about reviewing the powers of the president; they are sidetracked by debating about impossibilities…today we have a weak visionless lazy corrupt President …I can not imagine what a danger he will be in the ran-up to 2016 Presidential elections.

  5. Engwase Mwale should also learn to appreciate men, when it come to dressing, women they dress as if us men don’t have feelings, and when some men act they always go to jail with more than 10 years, she should not forget that women can not live without men,God created a man first, we deserve respect as well, not just vomiting words to us as men. and she don’t have respect, and that is why a woman can’t rule zambia because most of us men may suffer because of woman.

    • True and this woman ngwase is a beach.leave the general alone. Through this media I request his excellence to ignore ibiot.

  6. YES THIS ENGWASE MWALE IS TODAY TALKING ON TOP OF HER VOICE ABOUT KANENE AND SHE IS ENTITLED TO HER OPINION. BUT A FEW MONTHS AGO MR CHISHIMBA KAMBWILI MADE SOME UNACCEPTABLE REMARKS ABOUT THE CREATION OF MRS NALUMANGO AND THIS ENGWASE WAS QUIET. WHERE WAS SHE? PURELY DOUBLE STANDARDS.

  7. You mean the Police cannot act unless someone complains-even when it is clear the woman was beaten? Kanene deserves no mercy and must go back to prison immediately. If the president is serious about fighting this is the time for him to make a big statement. Let the president withdraw his prologative of mercy and allow this sexual beast serve his full prison sentence. He was busy composing his tuma songs pretending he had reformed kanshi bufi!! Let Engwase take up the case and lobby the president for Kanene to go back to prison!!

  8. kanene shouldnt even have been arrested in the first place. the girl in question has had several relationships and has two children. The parents to girl have no parenting skills.Kanene is a victim of something else rather than sleeping with a minor.The truth will one day come out.
    Look at the present case , why is Mwamba involved? Kanene is just an artist not a politician.Everything in this case doesnt tally at all.
    Why should kanene sleep with his wife in a lodge? Who told LT that Sharon refused seks because Sharon never talked to anyone? Who told LT that Sharon was menistrating?
    How do Kanene’s other wives come in?
    Poor journalism by LT….

  9. Can a presidential pardon revoked/reversed? Can a legal mind school us on this? I reckon only the guy who made it can U-turn on the decision, huh?

    This was ill-conceived from the start. What also surprises me is the incompetence policy of the cops in Zambia. Every time I hear that if there is no one to launch a ‘complaint’, then they will fold their hands and do nothing because no one complained. What kind of thinking of is this? Don’t these guys have a way to investigate crimes of national interest regardless of whether someone has made a complaint?

    As for Kanene and other child molesters out there, jail them full term; put them on a child molesters or sex offenders registers; never allow them to come close to children again, even their own kids.

    • You are very dull. The police can only prosecute a case where there is a victim, the culprit and evidence/witnesses. Kanene’s wife has not stated whether she was actually beaten by some one or may be she injured herself after falling in the kitchen. In this case, there is absolutely NOTHING the police can do.

      If its true Kanene beat her up then the lady is clever by keeping silent. She doesn’t want to be responsible for sending her man back to prison just to please merciless people like you. Who is going to take care of her kid? She knows that none of you people screeming with rage for kanenes re arrest will ever help her with the burden of taking care of her child. This woman is wiser than you.

    • Hey JJ, that’s why they are cops, they are supposed to be trained to do investigations in order to remove wild speculations like yours saying she may have fallen down and hurt herself. They canonlyy arrive at the conclusion by carrying out investigations, including speaking to Kanene, his wife and other witnesses. The ‘victim’is there because there is physical marks. And investigations don’t have to end in a conviction.

      According to your clever insinuations and using an analog, so if cops finds a dead body abandoned in the gutter, they are supposed to do nothing, because no one has come forward to complain because there is no ‘victim’ because the dead guy could have committed suicide? Did you know a person could be a ‘victim’ of a fall? Clever guy.

    • And just to add JJ, ‘investigation’ is not the same as ‘prosecution’. Yes you prosecute when you have enough evidence… and evidence gathering comes after thorough investigations.

      And speaking about kids, this paedophile doesn’t need to be close to children, even his own. He can molest them so cage him.

  10. My only concern is, what assessment was done, and who assessed Kanene? And what recommendation was made for the President to appoint him to a position which he could not only perform, but had no idea about?

  11. Leave Kanene and his marital affairs. No one gets into your bedroom and some of you rain heavy blows on your spouse using your tongue (which breaks bones but unseen).

    He who has not sinned, let him cast the first stone on Kanene.

    I abhor the politicisation/ngocisation of any small matter for purposes of limelight.

    Kanene, thou art free….go and sin no more!!

  12. The defiler got a presidential pardon and not parole so I suppose he will only go back to jail(where he belongs) once convicted of another offence!

  13. An educated mind or person with morals can’t argue with fools. Its sometimes pointless trying to make sense of something that can benefit society as a whole but we have closed minded people with no education on the matter who vomit things for the sake of it. It’s madness for a lawyer president to pardon a child molester and pedophile before completion of his term. As someone said, he was supposed to be registered as a danger to children and not be around them and monitored at all times. The biggest mistake was making him ambassador of GBV as proof came 4 days later. If a woman refuses sex regardless of whether she is married and the husband forces himself is rape. There’s battery and assault charges because he beat her. Men in 2015 please stop using the way women dress as an excuse.

  14. If sharon was on MP,Kanene would have gone to the first or second wife for sex. Why not leave her & go for other wives as he have many as davis chama said.
