IG insults workmate at bus station over missing phone

THE Bulangililo Local Court in Kitwe has ordered a 38 year old insultant general (IG) to pay K2,000 in compensation to his work mate for soaking him in Wusakile Compound language over a missing phone at work.

51 year old Malama Kawaya couriered Justine Sichula to court for defamation and verbal abuse after he unpacked a vocabulary full of sewer language on him at a bus station over suspicions of theft.

Kawaya complained to the court that the incident happened last Thursday on his way for work.

He said while waiting for the bus to be full at the station, Sichula, asked if Kawaya if he had an idea of where a certain phone which belonged to his brother might have gone.

Kawaya then responded in the negative, stating that he had no idea of where the missing phone had disappeared to, having been away from the office on the day of the phone’s disappearance.

Convinced his workmate had everything to do with the missing phone, Sichula, like an unhealed baby mama, with his hands clutched on his waist, turned aggressive like a roaring hungry lion by mentioning Kawaya’s urinating organ and all its functions better than a urologist at UTH.

“I told him I didn’t know anything about a missing phone because I wasn’t working the day it disappeared. To my shock, Kawaya started insulting me in the presence of strangers, accusing me to be a thief,” complained Sichula.

He explained that the Nkana sewerage language unleashed on him and his family left him traumatised, prompting him to take the matter to court.

“I felt humiliated as a father and grandfather and I reported the matter to the police and I later pursued it here in court,” said Sichula.

Sichula claimed that Kawaya did not only spit out insults but also threatened to turn into heavyweight champion Esther Phiri and have him bruised.

In delivering judgement, senior court magistrate Austin Banda ruled that Sichula’s kombonish behaviour was unacceptable and ordered him to pay Kawaya K2000, to be paid in installments of K400 per month.
