“Savita’s daughter Harshida was suffering from jaundice and
she became critical during labour pain. She was first taken to a
private hospital from where she was referred to the Civil Hospital in
Asarwa. While giving birth to a baby boy, she died.”

“We have spent lakhs of rupees in Harshida’s treatment but
that could not save her life. This is the poor state of health care
facility. A woman died while giving birth and no medical remedy was
there to save her,” said Thakor.

A 58-year-old Zambian woman was on Sunday hospitalised as a result of
a severe cut she suffered at the hands of her husband, who axed her.

Speaking in an interview with ZANIS, Joyce Mulenga,
a resident of Chisoso village in Shiwangandu district, said that the
incident happened after a marital dispute on Sunday around 7pm, Lusaka Times reports.

Mulenga said that her husband Milton Chileshe, 60, axed her after she
asked why he had beaten up another man’s wife who is a relative and
accused her of committing adultery.

Mulenga said that she has been separated from her husband since January this year because of his violent nature.

The accused Milton Chileshe has been on the run since the incident happened.

Shiwang`andu District Health Director, Webster Kambinga, said the
condition of the victim has stabilised and that she is responding well
to treatment well.

Dr. Kambinga said that the victim is likely to be discharged before the end of this week.

Meanwhile, Muchinga Police Commissioner, Chola Katanga has confirmed
the incident adding that a manhunt has since been launched to bring
Chileshe to book.

US President Donald Trump’s former personal chauffeur on Monday sued
the Trump Organisation for years of unpaid overtime, claiming he was
exploited and denied a meaningful raise for more than a decade.

It is the latest of many lawsuits against Trump or his businesses.
Noel Cintron, who served as driver for Trump, his family and
businesses for more than 25 years, was replaced by the Secret Service
when his boss won the Republican nomination for president in 2016. He
then joined the security staff.

The New York lawsuit, dated Monday, is seeking to recover more than
3,000 hours in overtime, penalties, damages and lawyers’ fees for the
“harm” Cintron suffered while on the Trump company payroll.

“In an utterly callous display of unwarranted privilege and
entitlement and without even a minimal sense of noblesse oblige,
President Donald Trump has, through the defendant entities, exploited
and denied significant wages to his own longstanding personal driver,”
the 14-page lawsuit states.

While Trump is “purportedly a billionaire, he has not given his
personal driver a meaningful raise in over 12 years!” it alleged.

The Trump Organisation, the umbrella company which is being run by
the president’s adult sons Donald Jr and Eric while their father is in
office, said Cintron was “at all times paid generously and in accordance
with the law.

“Once the facts come out we expect to be fully vindicated in court,” a spokeswoman for the company said.

The plaintiff generally worked five days a week from 7:00 am to
whenever he was no longer needed, on average 50-55 hours a week,
according to the suit.

In December 2010, he was given a $7,000 raise to $75,000 a year, but
only after losing his health benefits, saving his employer nearly
$18,000 a year in insurance premiums, according to the lawsuit.

He never got another raise, and Trump failed to reimburse him for
accrued vacation time and sick days, and work expenses, the complaint
says.

Cintron, it says, was not paid overtime for more than 20 years, but
under the statute of limitations can only claim six years’ worth, which
the lawsuit put at a total of 3,300 hours owed at “time and one-half.”

Cintron’s legal team told AFP they were seeking $178,487.10 in unpaid
wages as well as interest, attorneys’ fees, and potential punitive
damages.

Among other legal actions against Trump, lawyers for the US State of
Maryland and the capital Washington have separately accused Trump, in a
lawsuit, of accepting illegal payments through the Trump International
Hotel.

Porn star Stormy Daniels, who claims she had an affair with Donald
Trump in 2006, also filed a lawsuit against the US president in April
for defamation.

Elected in 1982, the 85-year-old is Africa’s oldest and
longest-serving president, but has yet to say whether he will bid for
another term, although his supporters are already urging him to put his
name forward.

The vote will take place in a context of mounting problems in the
oil-rich state, which faces an insurgency by anglophone separatists in
the west and bloody incursions by Boko Haram jihadists in the north.

The main opposition, the Social Democratic Front (SDF), has already designated its candidate, Joshua Osih.

Other declared candidates include Akere Muna, a lawyer and former
vice president of Transparency International, and Maurice Kamto, head of
the Movement for the Rebirth of Cameroon (MRC).

Earlier Monday, residents in Buea, the main city in the predominantly
anglophone Southwest Region, said gunfire broke out in the
administrative district and lasted several hours, marking a further
escalation in the separatist crisis.

Anglophones, chafing over perceived discrimination at the hands of
the francophone majority, launched a campaign for greater autonomy in
2016.

Biya took a hard line, rejecting demands for a return to Cameroon’s
federal structure and ordering a crackdown after the separatists issued a
symbolic declaration of independence last October 1.

According to a government report last month, separatists had killed
74 soldiers and seven police since late 2017 while more than 100
civilians had died “over the past 12 months.”

The UN says 160,000 people have been internally displaced and 20,000 have sought refuge in neighbouring Nigeria.

Northern Cameroon, meanwhile, has suffered by incursions by Boko Haram jihadists from neighbouring Nigeria.

Since 2014, the group has killed 2,000 civilians and soldiers and
kidnapped about 1,000 people, according to an analysis by the
International Crisis Group (ICG) think tank.
