  1. I ‘am not a superstituos person but I think someone did a number on you (witchcraft). This must be jealous big time!! Car beyond repair you must be crying zoana!!

  2. Mtn must give him another car because it should have been insured before being handed to him.If they cant then the lawyers can help.GOD BLESS ZAMBIA.

  3. Sad reading, this should have been one of his happiest times in life; only to be experienced for such a short time! What is most important is their health condition for nor. We put you in prayers.

  4. Why arresting a driver after an accident? Was he driving under de influence of something? Otherwise Accident is accident

  5. What is it with this spot of Serenje. My Cousin overtuned around the same area and a Spacio overturned just at the described spot. 

  6. it must be over speeding, iwe number 10. In fact it borders on dangerous driving mind u LT says failing to negotiate corner “if not curve”.

  7. It is rare that competition organizers put down insurance. I think that is the responsibility of the winner… sorry mate. Next time have it trucked to you.

  8. Motor vehicle insurance ceases upon change of ownership. It is up to the new owner to insure his/her vehicle. In this case chances are the new owner might not have had the time to insure after receiving it.

  9. SAD indeed, does he have a drivers licence? Maybe he never drove before. Hope taba kolwele kunsansa. Wishing them quick recovery.

  10. Sad story indeed, why give it to a leaner or inexperienced driver, am sure the insurance is there and will help out on that.

    Thank God every one is alive.

  11. Lets learn from what has happened, lets be careful on roads,the Other one is alubusu MHSRIP, BECAUSE ACCIDENTS ARE CAUSED THEY MAY BE AVOIDED.

  12. Dual mandate tell us more about devil worshipping you must be one of them. It’s only birds of the same feather that know each other. So it’s quite clear that you yourself is a devil worshipper. You must have used a similar method on others but I don’t think MTN worships the devil as you do. If you have nothing to say just shut your thinking. Disgusting!

  13. That driver Am sure is one of the inexperienced local route drivers who has never sat behind the stirring wheel for long hours. Sorry for such development to my people from Kasama!
