A few days ago, we lamented about the plight of a young lady from Zambezi whose womanhood was defiled and put on display for all the world to see!
In the same offering, we demanded justice for Pezo and prayed for help so she can start life anew away from Zambezi.
Many of you reached out to us offering to render assistance in whichever way possible; including seeing to it justice prevails. We shall remain indebted to our former classmates at Kafue Boys Secondary School, class of 1993, for standing by us and offering to make contributions to ameliorate the plight of poor Pezo.
One of the messages of solidarity that stood out to us came from a friend who offered to engage the Human Rights Commission to pursue the matter to its logical conclusion.
We did the needful, of course, and availed them the video to help with the investigations……It’s quite graphic we must warn!
Alas, a lawyer assigned the case had challenges establishing whether this transgression occurred in Zambia or not!
“I’ve been advised this is not in Zambia,” she wrote upon seeing the video clip. “We’ll interrogate it to investigate…”
Say what! What sort of nonsense is this? If you’re a government official and you can’t fathom such a dastardly crime was perpetrated on our shores, then you don’t deserve to occupy such offices! We’ve a lot of green horns idling in these offices who don’t understand why they are there in the first place. No wonder poor service delivery is rife everywhere!
You can’t claim to be a civil servant when you neither understand the culture or can’t easily identify yourself with the sufferings of the people. You don’t belong to the civil service bwana, but rather the corporate world……so get out!

Awe unless they were speaking bemba or nyanja, that’s the level of ignorance which has become rampant with no true national identity values. I blame the system, when these people are employed they are not oriented how big Zambia is and how diverse it is
