“We received a report of Indecent Assault from a 26 year old female of old Kanyama Compound in Lusaka that she was indecently assaulted by Clifford Dimba popularly known as General Kanene. This is reported to have happened at a bar in Makeni Villa on 16th October, 2018 around 20:00 hours.

In 2015, General Kanene was convicted and sentenced to 18 years in jail for having sex with a 14-year-old girl. After serving a year of his sentence, President Edgar Lungu pardoned him and appointed him an ambassador for women and children’s rights.
