Zambian controversial musician Clifford Dimba, popularly known as General Kanene has been re-arrested for assaulting a 38-year old woman.

According to Lusakatimes, Kanene appeared in Court this week where he was found with a case to answer.

Kanene is charged with assaulting Modrine Chisenga after a dispute at a tavern in Chawama last week.

Principal Resident Kenneth Mulife found General Kanene with a case to answer with the prosecution having objected to the defendant’s application for bail.

General Kanene will have to wait until November 10 for bail hearing and will be remanded in custody.

General Kanene was four months ago pardoned by President Edgar Lungu after being convicted of defilement.

He was also appointed by President Lungu as Ambassador against Gender Based Violence.
