Share

A thirteen year old grade eight pupil of Bbondo village in Gwembe district has been defiled and impregnated by her stepfather.

Police sources confirmed this to ZANIS in Gwembe but declined to give further details referring queries to higher authorities.

It is not clear what action police has taken to bring the culprit to book.In an interview with ZANIS, the girl whose identity has been withheld revealed she was first defiled by the step father when he was asked by the mother to escort her to hospital when she was unwell.

She said on their way back from the hospital, the step father told her that the only cure for her illness was if he had sexual intercourse with her.

And Mwiinga Hamulumbe, grandfather to the girl said he noticed that the victim was pregnant after noticing some strange behaviour.

“I was forced to ask the mother to the girl what was wrong with her because she had started behaving in a strange way, “narrated Mr. Hamulumbe.

Mr. Hamulumbe said he personally interrogated the teenager until she confessed being pregnant and revealed the step father was the one responsible.

He then reported the matter to police and social welfare who later took the girl to the hospital where it was confirmed she was three months pregnant.

A decision was then taken to terminate the pregnancy at the hospital due to health complications the girl started having which eventually led to her dropping out of school.

And District Education Board Secretary (DEBS) Benson Zemba said the girl has been put on the ‘keep girls in school (KGS)’ program, a government’s initiative to educate girls by providing scholarships.

He revealed that the district administration has also contributed money for her groceries and upkeep at Munyumbwe boarding school so she could fully concentrate on her education.

Mr. Zemba underscored the importance of educating the girl children so that they become independent in the near future.

    • That’s how my Tonga girlfriend got raped by her cousin in SP a couple of years back. I am still bitter with these John solye ubwali lazy koswes with erotic eyes for their defenceless relative beauties in SP. Shameless incestmaniacs.

  1. What kind of human being is this Tonga bull trying prove , maybe a sangoma or a wizard this guy must be chained and thrown in lake full of crocodiles and snakes

  2. Cage that stupid man if you haven’t already. Him and Keith Mukata should be cell mates. Disgusting. He is such a coward. Is it that difficult to ask a lady of one’s age out?

  3. @JayJay and HaSpaka have not read this. I am sure! They only read where the name of the President of Zambia comes on! Not even the Nose demon can condemn such behavior but if this were outside Gwembe Valley, they would have filled this thread with illiterate comments from the Department of Hallucinations.
