Debt Collection Mufulira style

Share

A diamond dealer in Mufulira district this morning woke up to a rude shock when was greeted by a live and beaded tortoise and black dove.

Copperbelt Police chief Antonneil Mutentwa confirmed the incident to ZANIS in an interview.

The police chief said the incident occurred around 7 hours when the local Police command received a phone call from Ronald Ross police post that two animals have delivered letters in brown envelopes at 7 Dongwe Avenue.

Mutentwa named the owner of the house as Richard Chilenge aged 36 years, a Data officer at the district health office.

He said in the letters the author is demanding to be paid K100 million within three days or failure to do so he (Chilenge) will face unknown action.

Mr. Mutentwa said according to Chilenge he had entered into a diamond deal with a friend he named Gerald Mwelwa to buy pieces of diamonds from North Western Province.

Chilenge told Police that he contributed K30 million to the deal while Mwelwa paid K25 million but later they were told that the diamonds were fake.

It was at this point that Mwelwa demanded his money back and was given K11 million as part payment.

Mr. Chilenge said he was shocked to find the charms at his house and the demand for K100 million.

And police at the district police command station had a rough time to disperse curious on lookers who wanted to have a glimpse of the charms.

  1. People should learn to work hard not these tuma petty deals and expect to make money.Think of real business alot of pipo have been dribled in this business.Let be a lesson to other pipo.Too bad my brother

  2. Mutentwa named the owner of the house as Richard Chilenge aged 36 years, a Data officer at the district health office.

    This chap is an ordinary civil servant. Where did he get K30m to invest in diamond business? These are chaps stealing govt money

  3. One reason some people are afraid of trekking back to Zambia. Please resolve issues in courts of law, not this idiocy of scaring the entire neighborhood and the family. This so called African Science seem like ignorance some times.

  4. African science has yet to reach its highest potential. For instance, how many people dont know that we africans can move between continents within a matter of seconds. Visit us in the villages and you will know more.

  5. why dont you put this science of yours to proper use like changing sand into fertilizer unlike the way you re using it?come on guys think positively and sort busness matters in court of law but not of low!Happi 2009 fellow zambians across the face of mother earth…!!!

  6. Hey guys from overseas, dont you know that black magic is everywhere, including where you are. Infact, there are more devils in developed countries than here in developing countries. Wake up!

  7. I am waiting for Father Kwanzaa to post his irritating plea for people to sign some petition regarding passport fees. The fellow is just broke whereever he is now he wants to put his financial inadequacies on us. sha !

  8. 🙂 This useless chap threatening his friend his using the old African Technology that was deployed some 2 to 3 years ago in Kitwe’s River side. He needs an upgrade or a Patch!

    Explanation: The chaps are just using pets that have been hypnotized and sneak into a person’s yard. They’ll even be the ones to propagate the rumor that there’s something for the other.

    Why NOT send the weapons to the ones who sorted two out if the Technology is true? :d/ Happy New 2009 Fellow Bloggers.

  9. Mwandila the Town clerk, please take advantage of this to send threats to those who fail to pay the rates!:o

    This will help you in reclaiming what the council is failing to recover:d

  10. the victim is a data officer at the district health office, where did he get the k30 million from? Ndiye makawalala bamene aba. Antoneill, arrest the guy. I will chat with you on yahoo messenger mate about this.

  11. No thing will happen that is just a simple threat anyone can do. Can we have serious issues being raised rather than retrogressive issues.
    Twanaka.

  12. When yu inna Zion, no need to fear Obeah! No African “science” could ever touch de children of the King of Kings, seen? If a diamonds & pearls, they shall also fade away…

  13. BUN DEM DREAD

    Yesai bratha man I’n’I dont believe in material tings coz dey fade up,but wat is important at dis aiwa to embrance da tha teachings of H.I.M.Selah

    Happy new year bratha man

  14. Happy New Year to all.
    It’s so worrying if such stories are really true,it seems they are concentrated on the copperbelt,don’t know why.
    To those saying the victim works in govt so where did he get K30M from,well i hope you’re just joking with your questions coz anyone can save or who knows maybe his wife is well paid or he could have borrowed from the bank,friends,relatives etc
    It’s time a law was passed to stop such kind of threats though,this amounts to terrorism,someone could collapse & die as a result of seeing such evil parcels by their door.

  15. People should come out and condemn such evils of society. Was this witchcraft or a threat? If it was me seeing such my heart would have stopped pumping.

  16. #31, what terrorism? Its just someone tryin’ to be smart the african way and extort money. If it were me, i would cut off the animals heads and deliver them in the same envelops right back to the person tryin’ to scare me!

  17. I think the black dove must have been the “chikwalala” type. If I was the guy, I would have just roasted the bird and wash it down with a cold mosi lager. The tortoise I would use as the starting point of building a personalised wildlife park in my backyard. The beads I would export them to china as samples for someone looking for bulk orders.

  18. IS THIS STORY WORTH THE SPACE ON YOUR BLOG, LT? THATT STORY IS ONE OF THE MAJOR REASONS WHY AFRICA IS SO BEHIND. BE SCIENTIFIC IN YOUR LIFE PEOPLE. SUCH THINGS DON’T EXIST. IF THEY DO, CAN THOSE WHO KNOW THE TRICKS DOCUMENT THEM SO THAT ANYONE CAN BUY THOSE BOOKS AND LEARN TO MAKE THEMSELVES MONEY. AND JUST FOR DOCUMENTING THE THOSE ‘WORKABLE’ IDEAS BRAIN CHILDREN CAN PLUNGE INTO BILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND ZAMBIA CAN BECOME A FIRST WORLD COUNTRY OVERNIGHT.

  19. We need to see the power of Jesus Christ in our country to demonstrate that the principalities and powers were disarmed 2000 years ago. The true victorious Church of Jesus Christ in Zambia needs to arise up to these occassions and let the victory of Christ be demonstrated through them by exercising the authority that Jesus has invested in them. Paul took care of the socerers in ACTS. Secondly a law needs to be passed against witchcraft and witchdoctors, some of these tricks and deceptions of the enemy are physical and can be dealt by the law in terms of bringing the culprits being used to be answerable to the law. God bless Zambia.

  20. By the way can we also have the pictures for the mentioned players involved-I mean the animals? Africans waste a lot of time on nonsnse. If this is true, can you advise the scientists behind this science to quickly get patents, and trade mark those ideas. ZAMBIA WILL BE RICH WITHIN A MONTH’S TIME AND ALL THOSE ECONOMIC PROBLEM WILL BE GONE. CONGRATULATIONS ZAMBIA. GOOD NEW YEAR FOR YOU.

  21. pay that money in the court of law. we want to see how the annimals will get the money and how they will sign knowledgment recipt of the debat.

  22. No wonder i always tell white folks here that we have more advanced technology back home than what computer technology can give,lol i like this

  23. What technology – if all it cannot be used outside one’s circles? Wake up! These chaps should find something better to do with their time!!!!! :-w

  24. 😕 The greatest have roots in Mufulira. That’s just one Technology being unraveled.

    Talk to Katele Kalumba and he will Remote into the hearts of those pets and crash them.

    😮 Buy the way, does anyone here have any news about the Chingola plane that was being assembled by the traditional Scientists? Seem to hate the turbulence in these Airbuses!

  25. nmb 46 shimine,this is indeed technology that guys like bill gates can tap up.So dont be surprised that the next ipod will come from mufurila or ku chiengi.Happi new year

  26. When will people learn? If a deal (especialy from a stranger) sounds too good to be true, then you are probably being conned. Conmen thrive on people’s desire to make huge gains for very litle work or investment. Thats how people end up buying immitations coz they want get huge brands at a lower price. Many people have fallen for the “Diamond Business” trick and have lost a lot of many.

    The poor chap now has to deal with the sorrow of being conned and the “terrorist” threat from the wizard he tried to partner with. Tough luck.
