Minister of Community Development and Social Services, Ms. Doreen Mwamba, says government is extremely saddened with the death of 14 year juvenile, Janet Chola.

Ms. Mwamba has since called for thorough investigations into the matter in order for justice to prevail.

Details of the offence are that on August 30, 2023 around 09:00 hours, the couple identified as Majory Chanda Lulembo and Smart Mumba aged 30 and 36 respectively went to the University Teaching Hospitals (UTH) Police Post with the dead body of Janet Chola, their maid, to obtain the Brought In Dead (BID)certificate over her death.

Police suspected foul play as the body had multiple physical injuries and immediately investigations were instituted which led to the detention of the suspects in Police custody.WIN INSTANT CASH AND FOLLOW THE STEPS WITH A SINGLE CLICK

Ms. Mwamba who has sympathized with the family of the deceased, said in a statement that unless the couple had legally obtained a guardianship status, they are in violation of the law by keeping a child who is not theirs biologically.

She said other than the involved child labour, the act constitutes an offense under the anti-human trafficking Act section 3 of the laws of Zambia, which provides that a person who recruits,transfers, harbours,recieves or obtains a child within or across the territorial boundaries of Zambia for the purposes of exploitation, commits an offense.

“As a ministry, we are committed to continue informing the nation on all acts that infringe on the rights of children to grow, develop and thrive”, she said.

Ms. Mwamba has since warned all those in the habit of employing children to desist from such acts, adding that the long arm of the law will catch up with them.
