Government has dispelled fears that an Angolan national who was quarantined on Thursday evening at Chiingi border post in Chavuma District in North-western Province for suspected Ebola virus did not die from the deadly disease.
The unidentified Angolan woman who bled from her genitals, mouth and nose caused panic at the border post forcing local health workers to rush to the scene.
Chavuma District Administrative Officer Kennedy Phezo confirmed to ZANIS and that after investigations, the rapid response team discovered that the deceased had inserted unknown herbs in her private parts with an attempt to terminate her life following a marital dispute.
Mr Phezo said the woman later died at Chavuma Mission Hospital where she was taken for further examinations.
He commended both immigration and health officers for acting promptly to quarantine the patient and urged the general public to remain vigilant by reporting to relevant authorities an outbreak of any strange disease.
Meanwhile, Mr Phezo emphasized the need for the rapid response team and security wings to intensify patrols at entry points.
Chavuma has only one legal entry point and nine unmanned illegal entry points.
Who commits succide by inseting something In her private Part?
seems to me as if she tried to abort a hidden pregnancy than commit suicied by inserting stuff in her privates.

Very interesting reporting. How did the “discovery” happen? What was the marital dispute? Where, in Angola, was she from? Even a cursory look would raise more questions from this article. Could it be that she tried to abort a baby after the hubby had disputed parentage, for example?? Eish!
Thats Zambian reporting for you
Interesting to see what protective gear the repaid response team had. Very good to be prepared and vigilant but we need to back this up with safety equipment. Tuning some of the mobile hospitals to mobile isolation units and rapid response is not such a bad idea.
