Lion, hyena attack in Itezhi-tezhi


A lion in Lubanda ward in Itezhi-tezhi district is reportedly terrorizing villagers, causing panic and danger to their cattle.

Lubanda ward Community Based Natural Resources Management Project(CBNRM) field facilitator, Noah Sakaleji, confirmed the presence of the lion on a two way radio interview today, saying the lion was spotted in Manunungu area by villagers.

Mr. Sakaleji said at the time the lion was spotted it was trying to attack their cattle in the kraal.

He has since appealed to the Zambia wild life authority (ZAWA) to quickly rush to Lubanda and take the lion back to the Kafue National Park before it attacks cattle and human beings.

And chief Chilyabufu of the Banamwazwe in Itezhi-tezhi district has said that a hyena was also terrorising people in his chiefdom.

The chief said on two way radio that a hyena has killed cattle in his area and that several animals have been injured by the hyena which is attacking them.

  1. check the resource ATLAS of Zambia or enroll at “taonga learning centre” as grade six!

    we can’t be telling you that when you know how to use a computer. save our time by getting back to the ATLAS

  2. Yush! Make sure unnu deh pon yu best behavior when unnu back up dat lion. De lion is humble and it loves likkle children, it wud never attack humans unless dem attack it first. Seen?

  3. Don’t worry #2. You’ve made your point but i think #1 is not a Zedian and he has the right to ask.
    #1 Ithezi-thezi is in South-west of Lusaka on the Lusaka-Mongu Road. It is a few kilometres from another small town called Mumbwa. Ithezi-thezi is an upcoming power (electricity) generating area. It is also a tourist site because of the huge dam (reservoir) which was constructed there to feed the Namalundu Gorge Power Station sometime back. I may not be precise but that is Ithezi-thezi for you #1.

  4. # 2 is right, if #1 is foreign, all the more that he might have a powerful computer to run google earth, if that’s too hi-tech, an atlas as already advised will suffice!!!

  5. what as*holes you are, you should have just said no instead of all that nonsense.

    how come you don’t want to say? maybe you’re the foreign ones who don’t know where it is

  6. thanks Chintu BWINGI, helpful.

    WAZA WAZA you sound like a useless kaponya with nothing to do, is insultuing people you don’t know via internet how you spend your time?

    what a chimbwi you are, go to your mishanga selling while the rest of us with JOBS maintain civil conversations with bloggers

  7. insulting each other on the net is not good.a better comment on the subject mater is good.God bless

  8. Grade 6 ha ha ha, anyway with districts being created daily in Zambia it is quite diffcult to know where some of them could be but Itezhi-Tezhi guys comeon.

  9. I am form England and i have been to Itehi- Tezhi 3 times, and you live there and don’t know!!!!!!!!!!!!!#1

  10. Bloggers on this site should learn to respect each other’s views on any given matter.What is wrong with trying to find out where itezhi tezhi is,anyway we differ the way we understand things.

  11. Blackburn Rover Nimwai Wako your friend hasnt been previledged to go there.There are places in England that you dont know by the way Mr Know It ALL.

  12. please may find out more about this chapp he shpuold be from congo or may be from malawi he is a lost man.watch out we shall deport you.

  13. people come on! any fool and illiterate person knows where itezhi tezhi is.Go back to grade 3 #1,You know more about insults than places grow up man!

  14. #1 Kiki, dont complain, you asked for it. Ignorance has no defence. Come on guys hammer stupid Kiki Im enjoying it

  15. Kiki, here are my humble directions to Itezhi-Tezhi. Take the Great North Road, turn at the second right and drive straight up you’re a$$.

  16. Warn ba chimbwi in Itezhi-Tezhi…the South Africans are coming!!

  17. Can we start eating these creatures, then they will be dead scared of muntu.

  18. its funny how this blog is not regulated…all comments should be screened to filter such idiotic behaviour…some one has to be sued!

  19. ..admit zambians are funny! i miss zambia..this is a news site..i think someone should create a site were such comments as above can have a place…theres an idea for “Struggling Comedian” to make some money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  20. All these hyenas and lions are not real. It was Muleya who was caught by Hamusankwa “runyoka” style with his wife Mutinta. He then sprinkled “runyokolola” on them and Muleya turned into a hyena and Mutinta lion.

  21. I think people here are now begining to behave like those hyenas. Instead of sticking to the issue hand, you are busy bashing someone. Those Lions will come for you. This is a strange world and its getting worse.

  22. #29 Sorry Dear, you are cursed by the person UWAKUNYELE and you gave you such cursed name!!!

  23. this lion are you sure its not voodoo from the spirit world?
    bane these are the last days alright, look at the calamities we are facing.
    God is almost here. lets give our lives to God.

  24. #1 are you trying to forget your roots? You are the same kind of people that pretend to forget your own parents just because you have bought a bicycle and you think you are everything.

  25. #1, are you Zambian? stop pretending you know the place?#25 you do not need to eat that.ZAWA need to tranquilize the hyena and lion.take them to big park areas before it is too let.Do not kill them either our great great grand children need to find and see these wild life some day.

  26. I met these animals at a bar in Itezhi-tezhi last night. We had a few beers and they both assured me that these allegations are not true.

  27. #37-Watch out your Grammar or go back to grade 6 as well.Whatever you wrote didn’t make sense.Even the LT editor can spot your errors

  28. #40, i’m not English if you want translate the message into your MOTHER tongue it will at least make sense to you and maybe also LT if you want.No wonder you have never heard of the place, find the atlas and go on the Zambian provinces you will find the place, it is there.
    It is about conservation of the animals that are terrorising in the village, what should they do? “EAT or KILL or…. your comment” not about my linguistic, negative.GROW

  29. Chief Chilyabufu of the Banamwazwe “a labeja pe uyu suntwe”, he is the one who in the dead of the night turns into a true Situkumba and starts attacking cattle and people.
