The Police Victim Support Unity in conjunction with Mumbwa Child Development Agency and World Vision picked up a 36 years father and 33 years mother of Village Bwantu in Chief Mulendema whose identity have been withheld yesterday for having sex with its first born and second aged 18 and 15 respectively from 2013 to 2017.

Police sources said that the act was being consented by the mother and in 2015 the eldest was impregnated by his biological father but the pregnancy was terminated by the mother using traditional charms.

The source explained that after the first born got married, the biological father switched on to the second born daughter who has now attained the age of 15 until some members of the public reported the matter to Mumbwa Child Protection committee.

Police have charged the father with incest while the mother is still being investigated and they are both in police custody waiting to appear in court.

And Mumbwa Child Development Agency Manager Grecious Nkeete says it is unfortunately that the abusers of the girl children are coming from their households were they have grown from.

Mrs. Nkeete appeals to law enforcers to expedite the court processes so that the abusers are punished and send warning to other would be offender.

World Vision Mumbwa Child Protection Officer George Siame says her organization will continue to support the fight against early child marriages and other sexual abuses until the numbers are brought to zero.

Mr. Siame appealed to other well-wishers to help construct a safe house within the district where the abused girls can be kept.

    • @pungwa these are most likely Ilas the same tribe as HH (HH is an Ila not a Tonga yea they are all Bantu Botatwe with ba Lenje and ba Soli etc but he is an Ila from Namwala). Remember that rumour that HH was the product of incestous relationship? No smoke without fire.

    • Economy bad or good is no excuse for such an abomination. My aunt’s husband was a manager with a good salary but was duped by some conmen that they could multiply money so he took company for the exercise. …that’s how he lost his job.

  1. This is traumatizing to the girls. Very sad development indeed. And blame goes to PF Government for failing to provide for the Zambian people.
    Lungu is so lavish in spending our resources. Imagine Lungu only feeds less than 1million people out of 17million.
    Nepotism, Tribalism and Regionalism by Lungu and his PF Government has destroyed our beautiful nation.

  2. And police should also work hard to protect Zambians from getting deaf due to excessive noise produced by loud music played by bar owners every blessed night countrywide.
    Zambia is a noise country. People can’t have quality night rest due to disturbing loud music which is allowed to play every night and all over. No wonder people wake up with hangovers even to non drinkers.
    Please police bring sanity and order in our country. Police you are not helping President Lungu in instilling Law and Order in our Country
    WAKE UP POLICE!

  3. These guys don’t need any arrest but massive sensitisation in the area. People sometimes do things innocently out of ignorance. Let’s try to change the mind set of affected rural areas and not throwing people in Jail. No one benefits.

  4. Reporter should go back to school or write in vernacular. No need to write so poorly. Better still tell the story to your child and let him/her write the report for you. You are an embarassment to your english teachers.
