  • Prisoners on remand - or 'remandees' - in Zambia often face an uncertain future. William Kondowe has been waiting two years for his trial on charges of car theft and murder and, like many prisoners, he has struggled to maintain his links to life outside the prison walls. A radical new project, set up by Prison counsellor Hastings Siamoongwa, tries to help remandees like William. A film by BBC Africa Eye.

    This was so heart rending! I felt all the emotions in Mutinta's sigh when he asked her if she's happy with her new husband 😔. I was rooting for him, and then he dies at the end. Even more heart rending

    She said, "Am I Your Rib?" WOW!!!! THAT'S THE DEEPEST QUESTION I'VE EVER HEARD anyone ask their mate or potential mate! I got chills when she asked that question. I believe if all women ask themselves and their man that question and he doesn't say, "yes!", then it's time to move on. But that was SUPER DEEP!

This is worse than what they are reporting in Africa.

      I dont know if you are African but any Aftican understand that conversation. Her husband k ows she was to meet him.
      Secondly she had already a child with the jailed guy and still got married .
      In Africa thats very very rare so we need to also think of what kind of man married
      A single mother?have nothing against single mothers but i jnow that its a very big huddle in Africa.so she must be the one in charge and he might be what they call a Bum in the west.
      No self respecting man in Africa who goes out and gets a job and sweats his ass off will take a woman whoes former boyfriend is in jail for murder and theft and has already a child with him.
      Waoooo.i can see and African Family dismissing her immediately and in Africa family approval is very Vital.in deed its even the most important entity. You dont marry a person in Africa. You marry a family amd sometimes a village

      One of the lessons we Africa and we Africans should draw from it is we have the moral obligation to have prison structures that do not dehumanize, but that rehabilitate.
      Last time I watched a documentary about prisons in Haiti and told myself if I were a political person in that country I would have used the history to justify the idea that prisons must be the places that do not dehumanize otherwise we justify the past by the way we treat ourselves.

    It’s the colonial legacy that our own people repetitions if not made it worse. The entire African forget to use their heart and conscious and follow on policy that is inherited from the colonizer . Wake the hell up and remember your own culture. Each one reach one and teach one .
