A 30-year-old nurse of a medical
centre in Kitwe has told a magistrate’s court how her senior workmate allegedly
raped her from behind while on duty.
She narrated before Magistrate
Chongo Musonda that her workmate grabbed her hand and twisted it before raping
her from behind.
According to the nurse who
testified against Mr Fwanlanger who is charged with rape, when she she reported
for her night duty shift she found Mr Fwanlaga who told her he wanted to study
for for while because he has a paper to write the following day
She told the court that there
was no power and inventor but Fwanlanga insisted he would only study for an
hour thus she waited for Mr Fwalanga at the lounge.
The court was told that at
around 6pm to 7pm the nurse decided to go outside and look for the security man
to go and buy her food outside. Upon reaching the security gate the security
man was not available.
The nurse came back to Mr Fwanlanga asking for the
whereabout of the security man. Mr Fwalanga then took his phone to call the
security man which he later gave the phone to the nurse for the nurse to speak
with the security man.
The security man told the nurse on phone that he is
outside going to buy food. The nurse then told the security man to buy her some
food and when he returns he will repay his money.

The security guy then told the
nurse on phone that he does not have any money on him so as she ended the call
and handing the phone back to Mr Fwalanga, Mr Fwanlanga twisted her hand
initiated the process of rape.
“He later he pulled down my
trousers before I could realize it, he had penetrated me. I kept shouting
ordering him to stop what he wanted to do to me. I cried and went out, packed
all my belongings. I was powerless as the whole ordeal happened suddenly.
Fwalanga then came to the room
where I was and apologized and asked me what I wanted to eat. I went outside
started moving around the clinic while crying wondering whether I should go
home or call someone, “
The sister in charge had been
informed that I was not feeling well as I had abdominal pains and asked if I
could be given painkillers, but I didn’t respond nicely. She asked me to move
away from the people I was with.
I told her Mr Fwalanga had done
something bad to me and later she came. I informed her what happened then she
called the owner of the medical centre who came and that’s how the matter was
then reported to the police,” she said.
