ZESCO EMPLOYEE, FIVE OTHERS ARRESTED FOR "UNPLANNED LOAD SHEDDING" SCHEME

Authorities left in shock as enterprising suspects attempt to privatize electricity—one transformer at a time.

Ndola, Zambia, January 30 – In what might be the boldest "energy-saving initiative" yet, a ZESCO Limited employee and five men from Masaiti have been arrested for allegedly "liberating" 11 transformers from the national grid—perhaps in an attempt to introduce a personal power-sharing program.

Copperbelt police commanding officer Peacewell Mweemba revealed that ZESCO security officers were tipped off by concerned citizens who noticed an unusual collection of transformer shells at Emmanuel Farm in Mundawanga. A prompt investigation confirmed what authorities are calling a specialized load-shedding scheme.

"In the dead of night, between 23:00 hours on Sunday and 05:00 hours on Monday, officers carried out an operation in Mundawanga, leading to the arrest of six men who apparently believed in alternative energy solutions—by redistributing ZESCO's equipment," Mweemba stated.

The arrested individuals include ZESCO employee Enock Sandala, 32, and his enthusiastic business associates: Mouldson Kalunga, 41, Alfred Kalunga, 37, Patson Simugweengwe, 35, and Victor Ng’uni, 34, all of Masaiti.

While authorities suspect the group had ambitious plans for "decentralized power distribution," the nation has been left wondering—was this a desperate act against load shedding, or just the latest version of self-imposed power reforms?

For now, the suspects will be facing the law instead of enjoying their own exclusive power supply.

Court convicts bus driver for sodomising 83-year old granny

A driver of Shantumbu area in Lusaka will be off the streets for not less than a quarter of a century having been convicted of ra**ng and sodomising an 83-year old frail grandmother.

The Lusaka magistrates court has convicted Maurice Chomba for r**e and unnatural offenses.

In a gut-wrenching testimony, the grandma recollected how she was almost sent to her grave prematurely by the bus driver who was her tenant, when he forced his erect rod in her lady parts and subjected her to a**l s*x at the same time.

She said she almost passed out due to his virility as she felt that he was ra**ng the life out of her.

The grandma said she was rescued by her grandson who heard her screaming due to pain.

In his defense Chomba claimed the grandma had framed of the offense.

He said he was undressed and locked up by her grandson but he managed to escape through the window.

In her findings magistrate Mutinta Mwenya found that Chomba attempted to bribe the woman’s grandson with a K1,500 which he refused as it was not worth his grandmother’s life.

She noted that the medical report indicated that the grandma sustained swollen genitalia due to forced pe*******on.

She ruled out the issue of false complaint because when Chomba forced himself on her, she screamed which indicates that she did not consent to the s*x.

Magistrate Mwenya said she did not find any reason the grandson could falsely accuse Chomba, as he caught him in the act.

“I don’t see a reason an old woman can falsely accuse the acccused. I find that there is overwhelming collaborative evidence that the survivor did not consent to ca**l knowledge,”she said.

“There was also evidence that the accused wanted to pay K1,500 to pacify the anger of the grandson. The accused buying silence was collaborative evidence that he committed the offence.”

Magistrate Mwenya said she was satisfied that the p

“I have found overwhelming evidence that the accused used his p***s to pe*****te the victims a**s. She also said from that day, feaces just come out as he used force and he damaged her a**s,” said magistrate Mwenya.

“I am a satisfied that the prosecution have proved both counts of r**e and unnatural offenses. I accordingly convict him and am hereby committing you to the High Court for confirmation of this conviction and sentence. You will no longer appear before this court. Your case is closed. I am committing you to the High Court because I don’t have jurisdiction to sentence you in this matter.”..https://kalemba.news/court/2024/12/06/court-convicts-bus-driver-for-sodomising-83-year-old-granny/

Kuseniseni:
I'm a man aged 35 my wife is 30 we have been married for 6 years with two children. My wife is a jealous type, I always have to explain every woman who greets me. She sometimes check my phone without permission. I was tired of explaining females in my phone book, I decided to put a password. She was furious and asked me to remove it. I refused to remove the password, she stopped talking to me for 3 days. I was sent to go and work outside town for two days. When I came back I found the house empty, she took everything only left my clothes. I tried calling her she never picked my calls . I called her parents to confirm whether she is there and they said yes. The following day after work I spoke to my family and bashi Bukombe. They told me to wait for them to bring her back or at least initiate the conversation. I went on with my life without bothering them for at least a week and they never bothered to do anything. After two weeks of silence my wife came back as if nothing happened, I told her to go back to her parents. They have now asked for the meeting to discuss further. They are saying I have a woman at home that's why I didn't follow her when I found out she left the house. I have brought this situation here to hear from independent people. I do I go about this situation?
kindly need advice.

Kuseniseni: I'm a lady aged 26, my husband is 30. We have been married for 2 years with one child, we both work. Some months after getting married my husband told me his uncle owed people a lot of money, the people he owed wanted to get the house, the only property he left for his family and my husband needed to find the money to save the house from being taken away. He convinced me to believe it was the right thing to do because if the house was taken away, responsibility of finding the way to take care of my husband's Aunt will fall back on him. I started taking care of the family, while my husband was clearing the debt. I was surprised to find out that the money he said was helping his Aunt secure the house was not a lot of money and was paid off just once. My husband was taking care of a woman he impregnated some months before we got married. He promised to take care of her and the child. I'm very devastated, disappointed and surprised. His family said they didn't know about the other woman and the child. He promised that he will stop helping the woman but will continue supporting the child. Our two families have been telling me to give him a second chance. It really hurts, he has been lying to me for too long. What would you do if you were in my shoes?
Please help.
