A 55-year-old Kasane businesswoman’s Thursday morning ended badly when she was remanded in custody for a charge of reckless and negligent acts.
Susan Slograve, a resident of Kazungula is accused of shooting and injuring Sarah Nshimwe on 8th December 2023.
Slogrove is accused of ‘recklessly and negligently omitting to take proper precaution against any probable danger from a loaded firearm in her possession, thereby resulting in it discharging and injuring the victim’.
In a matter that has surprisingly gone under the media radar for a full year, some family members are convinced Slograve is receiving preferential treatment because of her status in the society.
One family member told The Voice Online that while she insists that it was a mistake she has done very little to convince the victim. “She has shown very little remorse. Sarah has been crippled by the fun shot, and can’t do anything for herself with one arm,” charged one of Nshimwe’s close relatives.
“Even the charge is disappointing. Sarah, is so afraid of that woman and can’t even look her in the eye,” she said.
The concerned relative said Nshimwe has been living with bullets shrapnel in her shoulder for over a year. “She’s in constant pain, but can’t do anything about it because removing the fragments could kill her,” she told The Voice Online.
The well known Slogrove who has been a free woman since the shooting incident was remanded in custody pending Sentencing on Monday.
A very one side article, fails to mention the key facts of the accident. Strangely the press were called in before judgement was made too, like someone had told them their would be a guilty verdict. The residing prosecutor had not attended court for 3 sessions and a new prosecutor on this day…. Sara has been seen carrying shopping bags with the so mentioned limp arm. It was like she wanted to be shot when she was told to move away when Sue was taking AIM
For the baboon! Not the first time to see bad journalism.
Wow bad journalism at it’s best! Funny how you were there today and not before….. you got half a story here!!! And yet not with the complete details. Sara has been seen carrying shopping bags with the so called limp arm….
Why was she so determined to take the shot despite Sara’s life being in danger? Was it truly worth the risk? And what exactly was the baboon trying to take?
This article is an example of really bad so called journalism! it’s one sided and biased! The author never made an effort to talk Susan Slogrove! It was written to make a sensation and a click bite!
I know Sue Slogrove personally and I know for a fact that all of “accusations” are simply not true. Sadly the whole accident was used to fired up old and ongoing racial separation. It was very unfortunate incident without any form of underlaying racism!!!
As sad and tragic and unfortunate the accident was it never was life threatening! Sara is going to have her compensation paid according to the Labour officer calculation. Doctors report is very optimistic, stating that the impact of the shot is minimal and Sara can go back to normal, every day life activities.
As much as shooting was without a doubt very traumatic for Sara it was equally traumatic for Susan! She unintentionally shot a person, a human being when she was trying to scare the baboons away! No one took a spare second to think how Susan must be feeling….
Being a good journalist….journalist in general, means to go to the bottom of a case! To check from every possible angle, and from every possible perspective, including Susan perspective!
The consequences of this article on Susan’s life can be worse then the consequences of two little (removable) pieces of metal in Sara’s arm!!! Susan’s name was slandered and ruined!!! Sara’s arm will recover without any doubt but what about all the lies which were told about Susan? Remember, words can do much more damage then physical pain!!!
I hope that the author of this article will make everything in his power to write what really happened!!!
