A THIRTY-ONE-YEAR-OLD woman of Lusaka has pleaded not guilty to allegedly swindling over 130 students from Kabwe’s Mulungushi University whom she promised to offer bursaries.
Alice Kapesa who appeared before Kabwe Magistrate Temwaninge M’hango is facing two counts of obtaining money by false pretences and generating a fake document.
She is alleged to have swindled over 130 students from Mulungushi University on pretext that she would offer them bursaries at a 50 per cent rate.
In count one, the accused in August, this year while acting with others obtained K 34, 500 from 138 students by falsely pretending that they would be provided with 50 per cent scholarship bursaries when in fact not.
In the second count, on March 11, 2015 while acting with other persons with intent to deceive, Kapesa made a false document namely, a Speech for the launch of International Fund for Medical and Education, Needs Schemes purporting that it would be read by Education Minister Michael Kaingu at Mika Lodge when in fact not.
The accused denied both counts.
She would be represented by Chama Kapatamoyo Mulenga, a managing partner of CKM and Associates.
State prosecutor Lydia Nyoka later applied to the court for an adjournment to allow the State prepare its witnesses.
She is as smart as the under 5 who presided over advising the govt on provatisation matters while just a young boy. Before privatisation, the young boy owned no company. After provatisation, the young boy became the board chair for thirty former state owned companies. That is really being smart.
The students are naive. If it is too good to be true, it probably is most of the times.
Thanks

It is folly and Petty to blame HH for the privation of Luanshya mine because he didn’t have the vendors rights .GRZ at the time (which brings Cobra in the equation) was the vendor and should shoulder the responsibility .HH merely offered advice to GRZ which was shelved .It a shame to say that the worst privatisation was done by the likes of Penza and Chitala and Kaunda .People like Mumbi Phiri should have the courage to approach Chitala and ask them questions about ZCCM privatisatiotion . No one has ever accounted for the assets ZCCM had across the globe .What happened to the planes Zambia Airways had has up to now remained a mystery. Mumbi Phiri should have asked King cobra let alone talking about the graphics of sleeping with people without big abdominal girth
Why does university embroil itself in money scandals? By the way, it would be helpful to know how much each student was duped with coz it doesn’t make sense logically to divide the alleged siphoned fund by the number of students swindled!
Common sense baba, common sense!
Orlando Pirates yesterday beat Aly Ahly 4-3 in Cairo, winning 5-3 on aggregate. Well done and congratulations! Why are Zambian teams scared of North African (Arab) teams?? Mulatusebanya ama Zambian clubs; once you are pitted against Arab teams you even start crying even before you play. Big up and start winning continental cups
the other day it was a Ghanaian in China swindling students and now a Zambian woman. What is wrong with humanity?
The problem is that people have become desperate for help and the high levels of corruption any riff ruff will claim to have power to influence things and victims fall for it.
