She mates, then she murders. In the steamy swamps of South America, the green anaconda plays by rules that would make any human relationship look tame. After mating, the female often wraps her enormous body around her much smaller partner, squeezes the life out of him, and swallows him whole. It’s not a betrayal. It’s survival.

Female anacondas are massive compared to males, often five times their size. Once pregnant, they endure a seven-month fasting period while their bodies support the growth of dozens of babies. During this time, hunting becomes risky and rare. So what better way to get a head start on this long, grueling biological journey than by turning your mate into your first prenatal meal?

Scientists call this sexual cannibalism. It’s been observed in insects like praying mantises and spiders, but in reptiles, it’s rare and even more extreme. For the green anaconda, it's not just about dominance or aggression. It’s a cold-blooded calculation. The nutrients from the male’s body provide a vital energy boost to the female, increasing her chances of surviving the pregnancy and delivering a healthy litter.

Interestingly, male anacondas seem to accept this fate. During mating season, several males will form a “breeding ball,” wrapping themselves around a single female in a desperate, competitive embrace. Only one mates. And that one may become dinner. It's a brutal but fascinating glimpse into the wild logic of nature—where reproduction and survival often come at the highest cost.

So next time you hear about relationship drama, just be thankful you’re not dating in the Amazon.

Traditional healer 'Kalonga Kanono' in court for human trafficking

A PROMINENT Lusaka based traditional healer Chilufya Chileya popularly known as Kalonga Kanono has again appeared before the Lusaka Magistrates' Court on charges of human trafficking.

Kanono, 52, clad in all white and looking sheepish in the dock when he stood before resident magistrate, Amy Masoja, has denied the allegation.

The juju man who is also a businessman of Makeni Villa is jointly charged with a 21 year old girl, Natasha Chileshe and Ebba Chileshe, 32, a businessman, both from Makeni in Lusaka.

He was previously accused of a similar offence but went scot-free.

But this time around, he will not escape the walls of prison if found guilty.

All the three accused persons are charged with child trafficking contrary to contrary to section 3A (1) of the Anti-Human Trafficking (Amendment) Act No. 16 of 2022 of the Laws of Zambia.

Allegations are that the accused only targets young girls between the ages 13 and 16.

He is accused of exploiting their vulnerability by making promises of love, protection, and financial support.

Further allegations claim that he uses his influence and perceived spiritual power to gain the trust of these minors, offering them attention and affection they might lack elsewhere.

On June 2, 2024 in Lusaka, jointly and whilst acting together, the three musketeers reportedly trafficked SRW, a child aged 15, within the territorial boundaries of Zambia for the purpose of engaging in sexual exploitation.

It is reported that the survivor's cousins, Natasha and Ebba lured the girl under false pretenses of money and a phone.

Unknown to her, the trusted cousin was nothing but a 21st century female version of Judas Iscariot, ready to sell her over a few coins.

Her cousin, then lured her into the hands of her defiler who was driving a black vehicle, over a promise of a lot of money and an expensive phone.

"When the survivor saw the man she resisted to enter the car looking at his age, but the cousin pushed her in, while the suspect was also pulling her inside and later, he drove her to a lodge in Makeni, near Cosmopolitan Mall, along Kafue Road," stated police spokesperson Rae Hamoonga.

It was revealed that Kanono, undressed in front of the girl and defiled her.

After he finished with the abominable act, the juju man drove back to where he had picked the little girl.

Following the incident, the relatives found out about what transpired, they reported the matter to the police.

The court has since adjourned the matter to August 19, 2025 for commencement.

THE Lusaka High Court has dismissed the appeal of the 21 Chinese Nationals and a Cameroonian and upheld their sentences handed to them by the Lusaka Magistrates Court in a case they were charged with computer related offences.

Africa to be hit hard as UK foreign aid cuts revealed

(BBC) The United Kingdom has revealed details of its plans to cut foreign aid, with support for children's education and women's health in Africa facing the biggest reductions.

The government said in February it would slash foreign aid spending by 40% - from 0.5% of gross national income to 0.3% - to increase defence spending to 2.5% after pressure from the US.

A Foreign Office report and impact assessment show the biggest cuts this year will come in Africa, with less spent on women's health and water sanitation with increased risks, it says, of disease and death.

Bond, a UK network of aid organisations, said women and children in the most marginalised communities would pay the highest price.

But the government said spending on multilateral aid bodies - money given to international organisations like the World Bank - would be protected, including the Gavi vaccine alliance, and it said the UK would also continue to play a key humanitarian role in hotspots such as Gaza, Ukraine and Sudan.

Baroness Chapman, minister for development, said: "Every pound must work harder for UK taxpayers and the people we help around the world and these figures show how we are starting to do just that through having a clear focus and priorities."

The government said the cuts follow "a line-by-line strategic review of aid" by the minister, which focused on "prioritisation, efficiency, protecting planned humanitarian support and live contracts while ensuring responsible exit from programming where necessary".

The Foreign Office said bilateral support - aid going directly to the recipient country - for some countries would decrease and multilateral organisations deemed to be underperforming would face future funding cuts. It has not yet announced which countries will be affected.

Bond said it was clear the government was "deprioritising" funding "for education, gender and countries experiencing humanitarian crises such as South Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia, and surprisingly the Occupied Palestinian Territories and Sudan, which the government said would be protected".

"It is concerning that bilateral funding for Africa, gender, education and health programmes will drop," Bond policy director Gideon Rabinowitz said.

"The world's most marginalised communities, particularly those experiencing conflict and women and girls, will pay the highest price for these political choices.

"At a time when the US has gutted all gender programming, the UK should be stepping up, not stepping back."

Foreign aid has come under intense scrutiny in recent years, with the one cabinet minister admitting the public no longer supports spending on it.
