Manchichi bay lodge in Siavonga.
Manchichi Bay Lodge Acting Manager, Phillip Nkonde confirmed the death of the couple in an interview with ZANIS in Siavonga today.
Mr. Nkonde disclosed that according to the guest register entered by the couple upon arrival at the lodge, the man identified himself as a Mr. E. Zulu of woodlands in Lusaka and was in the company of a woman who was not entered in the register.
Mr. Nkonde added that after having dinner in the night on Thursday, the couple decided to go swimming in the pool located within the premises of Manchichi Lodge.
He said according to a report given to him by officers on duty, the woman who is believed to be in her early twenties decided to take her lover to the swimming pool in order to teach him how to swim since he did not know.
Mr. Nkonde added that while conducting the lessons, the man failed to contain the pressure and started drowning forcing the woman to struggle with him in an effort to rescue him leading to both of them drowning.
And investigations conducted in the matter revealed that Zulu who is employed as a customs officer was recently transferred to Siavonga’s Kariba border post from Lusaka.
The sources revealed that Zulu who traveled with the girlfriend was in Siavonga to report for work following his transfer from Lusaka.
Police from Siavonga police station rushed to the scene of the incidence and retrieved the bodies of the couple from the swimming pool around 23 hours.
They were first taken to Siavonga District Hospital mortuary but were unfortunately turned back because the fridges were not working and later taken to Mtendre Mission Hospital in Chirundu.
Such a shame.. I hope it is not an adultery case.. But reading between the lines it is obvious… woman did’nt give her name
Too bad for the couple – why didn’t they try it in the bathtub or the Jacuzzi?
the fridges were not workin lol…zambia!!!!!!
Ha ha ha I find this story tragically hilarious.How dumb can you get! How do you try to teach your boyfriend to swim when you also obviously don’t know how to.and how dumb was this man to jump into the deepend with this lady when there was baby pool near by. this poor couple even had bad luck in death the morgue turned them away!
Only God will help us. Man travelz with a woman he won’t identify and then they must start swimming; the fridgez are not working…..ni maloza!
too bad for these lovers. the fridges were not working? this is just a reflection of how our hospitals are throughout the country. and yet some pipo are busy flying outside the country every week.
why should a man be robbed off his destiny because of trying to please a girl?
I hope he was not married, coz that will make this sad story even worse
whether girlfriend or not, as long as tebakashi, it was wrong. sex before marriage is wrong,. they shud have 1st married each each and then go to such places. This shud save as a warning to all of us, death comes in amny ways but same form. lets be on the gurad whenever we are tempted to do anthing funny. My friend is in trouble because the girlfrind died in his bed, whilst the parents were thinking she was at school. naibipa, baad.
Leave swimming to the Lozis!
If it was not so tragic, this would really be funny. Thats what happens when you watch too many movies. What were they doing swimming at night when Its obvious they both couldn’t swim? “the man could not sustain the pressure………” are we suppossed to read between the lines here?? I wonder if they have informed Mr Zulu’s wife?? How will the girl be identified?? Unless her boyfriend reports her missing.
Siavonga Hospital has problems, the man in-charge of the Hospital is busy moving around with the national team,Sad mwandi
Knowing Zambian men this was probably a married man.
Hell knows no fury like a woman scorned.
Zampeople, Perhaps it was his destiny to drown in the pool. As for Persona # 8, with respect, i dont think your suggestion of abstainance is practical. If people followed that advise you would have a world full of angry, aggressive and frustrated people.
Nobody deserves to die this way…tragic, no joking matter-i hope all you guys throwing stones are holy and free from ka ku mbali…or living in glass houses
Was it an adulterer’s swimming pool or adults swimming pool!
or are you living in glass houses, i meant to say…
Bane, tu letekanya. hows do you go guns blazing even in a swiming pool? can one use a c***ndo***m in a swiming pool?
elo this same lodge…no life guard or surveilance….comon…..eh??????
iliko tricky, maybe the lady is a mukabene.
No 16 Tell them. People like comdeming other people. This is worse that there is death otherwise people are having skeletons in their cupboards.
It appears Mr Zulu is married & thats a ka girlfriend.But anyway thats sad,there will be a lot of talking pamalilo
What life guard or surveilance? they cant have a life guard because they about to make a living being. Surveilance? No. they needed privacy!
Geez….. I am lost for words, this is very very tragic. This poor man’s wife and kids, the shame of having to live with people whispering and judging.
# 20…We are Zambians…if there is one thing we have not really brought on the table is the issue of having ma spare wheels…skeletons in this regard are what just about everyone does-hence we see the HIV level never really going down. WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH AN OPEN MIND…BUT OUR LEADERS WILL NEVER FACE IT COZ THEY ARE DOING IT THEMSELVES…MYSELF INCLUDED AND ALOT MORE FELLOWS ON THIS BLOG…What happened to these guys is terrible-you make jokes at your own giving..just because you have a lock on you closet doesnt mean you cant lose it..in this case, Zulu and the lady paid with their lives…some of you fellows pay by leaving you wifes or hubbys…the bottom line is that we have an opportunity to educate on the expense of Zulu and his lady…a loss to the nation…
Those where adulterers!!! there is no reason why phoneycaters would choose to withhold a name.
Dont condemn but pray for them
Please we should not rejoice over someone death. this is a sad story which needs a lot of sympathy , please remove the log in your eyes before seeing other peoples logs . you fellow sinner keep quiety as your death is soon.
Efyo ubuchende bwaba… It is a pity they paid with their lives. The woman in question must have watched too many movies. Romance in a swimming pool… that was a bit too adventurous.
Thou shalt not swim after eating. This rule is very cardinal. The woman had no idea what she was doing. Condolences to the woman
I tell you wish must be left to lozis
fimo ifintu kuti waseka kwati nachiwama.ubuchende bwaleta imfwa.the way the gal enticed the guy reminds me of how eve gave adm the fruit.iyi ni total agony.inkeche ishi shilatuletelela.
Sad indeed. Condolences. But Siavonga also has too many unusual deaths. Watch out!
when your day has come, it does not matter who you are with. Only we should ALWAYS be prepared for it. It is not right to joke about some of these issues…
I wonder what pressure the man was trying to contain
Sad story….before akalibe nakulasa…shame.
34 Mama Kalima – the pressure is he was trying to contain is suction – if you know what i am saying.
I feel & fair at the same time, cos i am in the same shoes cant control my slef when i see a beautiful lady. Lord have mercy on me, create in me a clean heart please
50 % of us men make such arrangements with our girlfriend….it can happen to any…a similar thing happened in Ndola…this married man gave a ka young girlfriend of his to drive his car and ended in the river…the girl died but the man survived.
Too bad for the wife and kids.They have lost a father and husband,probably the breadwinner too.What a way to lose valuable lives.This should save as a warning to all of us.Lets put our families first in whatever we do.We might think we can get away with it but God is always watching and you never know when tragedy will strike.This story makes such sad reading
My fellow women. Lets close our legs to married men. Nothing good comes out of it!
Sorry, cabipa sana.
#40 you are very wrong mama, married men are simply the best.
Lesson for all. Never perceive the word of God as an inconvinient truth! Repent please. He was not the only one in this kind of engagement I believe!
Mr Zulu is a married man thats why even in the guest register indicated that he was alone for fear that the wife may come and ask about that detail. The girl probably is at college and quiet difficult to identify the her family. It’s sad that they died. Thou shall not commit adultery.
Yes I have spoken to one of the guys at the same lodge, actually the man was married with children. Too bad for the widow and lady’s family.
If only he was not transferd to Siavonga he could still be alive
Too bad indeed more so that his wife recently gave birth to a baby girl. Sad state of affairs but gues there are lessions everyone can learn from…..
Its a tragic situation lives are lost and lets not judge. We are talking about a bread winner to family if married en extended family. #14 big up.
You are all saying it’s a lesson leant, meanwhile you have already started making arrangements with your sweet sixteen…..shame on you
Word of advice to all you romantic types out there who may want to do a spot of skinny dipping at night. When someone is drowning, you need to let them take a few gulps so that they become weak, otherwise, whether or not you can swim, if they get close to you they will hold on to you for dear life ( figuratively and literally – natural instinct) and you will both drown.
# 40 thumbs up!!! Teach # 42 to put them together and tightly till somebody exchanges vows her.
# 49 sweet sixteen???? Ba kakukaka pofye.
#49 i totally agree with you…100%
Iye yama. You have gone too early. Sad indeed.
Iye yana. You should not have gone too early. We shall meet again one day. Go well yama!
OMG.. this guy was my classmate @ Evelyn Hone College in Lusaka. I am so saddened by Elijah’s death. MHSRIP.. such a young life. My condolences go to his family. Got the emails from my other friends in Lusaka. Such a tragedy to lose EJ. Him and the likes of Nkweto gave us all the laughter during our course
That place was my family’s favourite vacation lodge in the 90’s . It’s funny I almost drowned in that pool which from what I remember was not that big or deep. This must have been a freak accident of some sort because two adults drowning in a medium size pool sounds bizarre to me
aya ema consequences yafuma mubuchende.ALA BANE UBUCHENDE BUUBI.
 “umwaice ekalisha ilyo anya”..&..”kolwe ashilabengwa,eenda nafyonona”….& “uushumfwa patunono,napafingi takomfwe”.
Naleka epompelele mukwayi.
People, were does it say in the story that this man was married and that, that was his side kick? Abena Zambia mula koncluda! Since when have you ever gone to a hotel with your woman and both of you write down your names on the guest list? Unless you are sharing the bill. So please stop this crup of coming up with lies that you can prove! The man died with his girlfriend in pool, now we even hear stories of Aids coming in, does it mean that because of Aids people should stop having fun later on marry? What are you going to say when you find out that this lady was his wife? Lets say he was cheating, let the man who has not committed sin throw the first stone. Some of you on this have even aborted or have had girls abort b4, which is the same as murder but you are busy talking!
Too bad and sad. The bodies may be in a mortuary but where are their souls, in hell?
And someone wishes the MHSRIP. What a joke. There’s no peace in hell.
#59 Kaponyas – Yes he was married and yes, this was a side kick
tragic…was with this guy at college for three years. alaways cheerful. MSHRIP
Canucks, this is fonti…how can i contact u ? guess this is guy ?
#42, you are not just wrong, you are bloody wrong. Best men are those you have all to yourself, are intelligent, understanding, communicative, financially secure and romantic. Don’t tell me only married men have these qualities. I’m sure you meant to say elderly men, but please not married. Why is this thing of couples drowning so common in Zambia nowadays? I think ama movies are playing a big role. Another question is, why do zambian men want to try to be romantic with young girls. The answer is, they are in real life not romantic, that’s why when they try to be, the end up dying. Lekeni fye. Just be good to your wives and communicate with they. Tell them about your fantacies, you will be shocked at how romantic they can be. ……
This lodge is a lovely rendezvous.. enjoyed this place in the 90’s with family.. Will visit this place again when I go to Zambia… Too bad for the couple in mention. MTSRIEP.
Men should ask themselves, why would another man find their wives/girlsfriends, sorry for lack of a better term, sexy? What makes another man see what you as a husband/boyfriend can’t see in your wife/girlfiend. I’m sure it’s because another man gives your wife a chance to be free and open just like you give those young girls who just want talk time. The bottom line is, men forget that, women are just the same. It only takes a bit of talking (proper communication) with your wife/girlfriend and you will see how romantic your relationship will be.
ICHISOMO, is all I can say.
This story reminds me of a certain incident that happened in Ndola to a Mr Mwale who died in a tragic accident with a siedkick, who happened to be the wife’s relative.
Ukutemwa ba mukabene ! Why did this guy not register the chick ? Yakwiba obvioulsy !
#42, You sound so bad. I am sure people lock up their husbands when they see you around. What a shame. I would not want you to be near little girls growing up because you have such a lousy message. Please change.
Ama situation yaso, instead of shedding tears pa body viewing, you can just find yourself punching the dead body because of ichi fukushi.
continuation from#70 I know someone who actually punched her young niece in a coffin because she always told her stop misbehaving. She just stood there and WACK across the dead niece’s face ‘Nali kwebele ati uleumfwa” and she walked away. Thats what ichi fukushi can do to you sometimes.
such things happen. am sure its not the first you are hearing of deaths in a strange circumstance. bottmo line is, it was an accidenet and sad the couple died
I suspect murder,police do investigate, olo guy ali ku ZRA.fraud ,murder,adultery kaya kaya.
Yaba…this news has many sides. Were they just swiming or may be the orgasim was too much causing them to drown? This is just one of the theories as you know there are many.
Guys its a lesson to us all that we should not do it in water. Any way my condolesence to the families…..
EJ, sad you gone… more like a brother, growing up in Matero i remember it was house # 2012
Near saigar daka.and we used to play ichimpobwa together at matero boys secondary, mutendere primary (now mabilima) not forgetting chingwere prim school. and also somololo play ground behind moyo brothers. its not a suprise that you died in a pool coz remember when we were young yu never liked swimming in TU DAMU or olympic swimming pool.
SAD
Sad story. Everything has time and space.
i feel for the wife! i.d.i.o.t took the girl friend out for a wonderful time and has fate has it this happened….
Natuloshe bane , twibukishe tulibamfwa tuli bakuya!
Truth be told there is rampamt immorality in our country. Natuleka no kupapa. Though we dont like to hear it, it must be repeated, PLEASE LET US RETURN TO THE LORD , HE WILL HEAL US, FOR THE LORD IS COMPASSION AND LOVE, SLOW TO ANGER AND RICH IN MERCY. Let us go back to the basics of our traditions, ala mu MANO ya CHIFYALILWA MWALIBA UBUMI te bu fontini. Abstinence does not kill being a ‘spare wheel’ will definately kill you. PUNAMUKENI PA ZED. By the way what is girl’s name?
I’m still laughing at this story and some comments ….please….y’all would make good fiction writers.#75 why did this friend of yrs enter a pool when he never even liked swimming in TU DAMU.I think some movies should have a disclaimer or warning saying DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME…
TIP when someone larger than you is drowning let him drown a little before you attempt to rescue him or else as he struggles he will pull you down also.I’ve stopped laughing this story is actually sad. I wish the couple used common sense.
Zed stories just amaze me..LOL….
LIFE GUARD at every public swimming pool is law, why are laws not respected in our country? Dame! please release the name of that girl probably shes my wife because i have been calling her since friday last week iyenda chabe ku voice mail. Dame! this guy used to text her alot and sneak her out of Lusaka for some cool time. MTSRP…
#82, are there laws in zambia, when there is no system? I wonder. Well, I hope a lot of people have read this story and have learnt a lesson from it.
Point is this can happen to any one!!!! What’s the Motel policy on night swiming?, where was the life guard if the pool is open 24/7? This motel must be sued… no one heard then screaming??? who was on duty… ZED STANDARDs
I suspect foul play….
#84 Musali
What they needed is a buchende guard and I repeat
women let us keep our legs closed to married men, karma is a b i t c h
May be they both had ichifungalashi (leg cramp). Leg Cramps can be deadly when you’re swimming.
#85
It could have been a married couple perishing under mysterious circumstances, Motels should protect all guest regardless of marital status…
we are all sinners and have fallen short of the glory of God. this is a major law suit.!!! no one should wish death on anyone, we are all mortal…
#59 you are the only one that has made sense so far. There is no palce that says that he was married but people will always jump to that conclusion. May the Lord help us!
Prophetes, I am liking you!
“the fridges were not working.” Typical zedian nonsense. What a messed up country. Do donors need to come and fix the morgue coolers?
Classic booty call. Why go for swimming at night? Well, in the words of Bill Clinton, it all depends what swimming is is.
#89 Kristy I can confirm that the deceased was married with a child below the age of 5. The lady he was with in Siavonga was a girlfriend
Just because the woman was not entered in the register does not mean that the man was married. My ex-bofriend and i used to travel to Lusaka and stay at inters, with only his name registered to the room.
#93 Independent: I forgot to add that I personally know the person who died and his wife
Ba #86, Ba Beyonce wa pa Zed, you have cracked my RIBS!! all of them.. ati ‘ichifungalashi’, long time I heard that word .. maybe they both felt ‘ chizwezwe’ (dizziness).
Manuel…comment no. 9….hillarious…..could’nt stop laughing. Good one.
Sorry about the tragedy, though!
I hope he was rich and had a trust fund for his children……as for da wife …don’t cry too much….its a gud thing he is gone..otherwise….AIDS….CRYING AT NIGHT AND MIDNIGHT PHONE CALLS …..are no more u are free my dear…..not every sweet is sweeter
I feel for the young lady ‘s parents who sacrificed everything to meet the astronomical costs of Zambia college education. With such investments, the expectations and plans to make their daughter a significant performer and contributor were high.
These parents have nothing covered under insurance and this is one of the most important reasons why families and economies in developing countries fail to come out of traps because they are so vulnerable to shocks and leaks.
Swimming across the luapula river only takes me 10 minutes and why no floaters on a public swimming pool
the lodge looks nice, what are the rates?
chabipa umu boyz afwile ninshi nabwima.
# 59 Kaponya. Doesnt know how a guest register looks like. It has a provision for your name, in this case should have said mr & mrs zulu, number of pipo 2 but indicated that he was alone. Thats proof enough. **** u.
Fellow bloggers, sad as the story may be, ladies and gentlemen lets try to control ourselves. Ba post ati ba zulu was married and the chik was a student at at hone(cge). You can only feel for the wife and children who are so innocent.
The girl will be remembered to try and help ba Zulu to swim in a pool after dinner and help to rescue him from drowning, unfortunetly the girl was not sucessful and she died.So come 2010 on the 24th Oct, Zed independence celebration RB will present her with a honour of the distiquished for the dead HERO.
MYSRIP
After all is said and one. These guys have perished in this manner, clearly not married, the biggest check on our part is “how clean are we”?If we are clean, lets keep up the good work, if not let’s reflect on this and dump the shi**t we do. Jesus, when he was approached about the woman who had commited adultery in the book of John, he kept scrbbling and writing on the floor without looking up, until he asked this one question, “whoever has never done what she has done, let him/her stone her”, tell me who did throw a single stone on her?
Am speecheless, this is a straight forward story…
Atleast LT doest not put it out there they way the post does “Cheating husband, lover drown in Siavonga”
okay naibipa!iam sure umu guyz wanted to impress aka mwaice aka twenty years.kubafye real.kukebafye ati teti insambe!
Okay people mwaseka sana chafula…..just remeber that we all heading in the same direction death is coming whether we like it or not. Just remeber that before you are quick to cast a stone and judge, look into your own arrangements, you will find that their adultery(if it was adultery or mere phonication), is a spec compared to the log you carrying. Lets remember that lives have been lost, be it as it may that its in such a dramatic manner! Just some words of wisdom. May your souls rest in peace!
You people the girls name is Zodie Dube thats according to the post unless you dont read it
#40 ‘u’ should be closing yr amatanta to both married & unmarried men.
Iyee mwaiche wandi Elijah!! What a tragedy. Too bad you had to go in such circumstances. I fondly remember the jokes we used to share and your passion to get your ACCA qualification (kwati ba boss bobe). MYRIP
But if i may ask how did the information that the lady was teaching the man how to swim come to be known, since its only the lady who knew about. this and both died so how did it all come out. anyway too bad.
The onrush of comments on this thread is simply overwhelming! 24hrs after the incident, people are still offloading their sentiments – once again, this only confirms that bloggers are generally more interested in lifestyle & family events than the tonnes of political news we are served with each day…
I knew Elijah from Evelyn Hone and Radio 4 Fan Club. This is a sad story, I am sure they where drunk, how Elijah grabbed the girl when he was drowning.
Guys guys guys!!!! Let those that live in glass houses not throw stones. Elijah vamuchitikila chabe. How many of us men have not been in his situation and didn’t have this out come? More than many i can assure you. MYSRIP EJ! We lwill miss you muzee!!
# 113, Excellent comment, we need to change our attitudes.
Ba moma close your legs till you find a nice monk. Dont open legs for the married people. And also be content with the little your parents give you but work hard for your future. Dont be so dependent on people. All those guys with good jobs were just like you studying. So study hard aswell so that you will get a good job. NOT UBU ULE IMWE BA MOMA.
Most of the comments here are typical of the hypocrisy in our country – we have have hypocrites in the church, hypocrites in the workplace and the biggest HYPOCRITES in POLITICS!!. Most if not all married pipo in Lusaka have affairs/flings – why do you think the lodge/hotel; business is booming. Just because you haven’t been caught doesn’t mean you should sound high and mighty. Whatever the circumstances – death is always a tragedy. If you are a real saint pliz keep it up but if you are like most of us, being perfect is a daily struggle. Big up to y’all
have you men not cheated before for you to give such silly comments
first ba post balitumpa, we understand the basics of being in businesss, but this whole story just doesnt make any sense at o, did she go about anouncin dat am going to teach him 2 swim. if the bodies where taken to the morgue at about 23hrs they obviously died an hour or so earlier. Nalilalapo mu lodge,there is no way that an executive lodge as it shows could not have a guard awake or a barman at that time of night and for pipo to drown there is always a cry for help and know one heard them. according to stories, these pipo where already dead and just thrown in the pool.apparently he had cuts on his body.you men dont pretend that you dont cheat at all coz you do.Jesus told the pipo who wanted to stone that woman who was a prositute and he said for those who have not sinned to stone.
It sounds a tragedy indeed, but who was there to see the woman drag the man into the pool?Who went to report that people were drowned? Besides this lady was not identified in the log book, to me it sounds like a case of TWALAFILILA MUNSENGA, meaning no one will benefit but we both have to lose. There should be someone there who really knows what went on, were they drunk? because this so called alcohol makes people lose their senses.
B.B. #120. I agree with you entirely. Having read both stories from both the Post & LT, the stories do not make sense absolutely. So there were witnesses to fact that the lady said she was goin to teach EZ how to swim? And they saw that the woman cudnt rescue him when he cudnt contain the pressure? what time did they finish their dinner and did some one see them take a dive? The manager needs to explain beta.
120 BB// Your reasoning makes some sense, trullly there should have been someone, and the police should tell their findings. It sounds a bit fishy.
Sad ending. The Police must investigate this very thorough. I suspect foul play. Postmortem must be done.
this is a sad story and interesting, so this man was married headline in postnews paper leads “cheating husband drown with lover” but know details of who his real wife was. shame dying with a girl friend in a pool.
#120 Bodies usually have scratches because before death the desparation to live is usuallly overwhelming. They probably scratched each other in their struggles. By the way not all men cheat just because you do or your partner does , does not mean we all.
Amaguys na kulibonesha ! Ninshi takanine if it was me i could have said ati “mwana nshikuletele mukusamba kuno ayi,am sure nawishiba ifyowishile kuno” and am sure she could have responded like “sorry ba zulu i almost forgot,oh you are such a darling”.Anyway the whole thing is sad M.T.S.R.I.P
# 127 ha ha ha tamumfwa ba Mo taim.Iwe kuti wakana shani palya pantu palishupa,have heard of stories like “ukusanguka akaiche”.One can do anything to get some.
# 128 ukusanguka akaiche ka ?
too bad knew the gal.May her soul rest in peace and may Lord forgive the two even in death coz we all era.But this serves as a lesson pliz ladies leave married men alone its not worth it
#58, Please be fair, as it is said “uwafwa tafimba pa chinena”.
a sad story indeed but dont just say things.look at urself as well.there is no big sin and small,so if u have never faltered bless u-but if u have in which ever way,seek the lord.all we can take from this is to check ourselves & live straight in the ways of our lord.
This should save as a warning for us all as parent- our sons and daughters will be adults and if this is what they grow up seeing in us- they will be doing the same. Be present, tell them u love them, don’t wait for them to hear it from a guy outside your home. with so many Zambians who can afford a dollar, lets build parks and other recreation facilities so they can learn there is fun in other activities than sex and a bottle of beer…because that is what we are all doing.
just a word of warning to young men in college- be careful of these young women because they are bringing HIV from the sugar daddies. No wonder HIV is still booming in Zambia. wear double codoms to be safe if tempted and never trust untill u are both tested- please lets save a generation.
Throw in the possibility of suicide.
Its sad and strange. The problem is not that men cheat-the problem is soooo many women are willing to cheat with a married man. Guys only go as far as you let them, they hug you cus you let, they kiss you cus you let them and they will sleep with you again cus you let them. A woman is ALWAYS the one in control of what leads to what so stop pointing fingers and close your legs. However hoodrats are always looking for happy homes to break. The gal’s name was Zodie Dube from Evelyn Hone and was not his wife.
They shall have their judgment now before the almighty.
Number 51 that does not work, grow up!
Well done 59. Tell them!
From the details of some bloggers, looks like I know this gentleman. He had a squinted eye. We did junior Secondary school together at Matero Boys together with the Nkwetos and the Sakala brothers etc. Condolences. May be it is time to repent mwe!!!
I have known EJ for a long time; he feared water (as in swimming). He was a simple humble man who can not attract this media publicity. Clearly, his murderers and the Manchichi Lodge management are spinning the media to hide the truth. Elijah and his friend died before they were dumped in the pool. We must get to the bottom of this evil. Sex here is not an issue, the issue is how these young lives perished.

Zambians please stop concluding. These guys may have been murdered. Swimming at 23 hrs? Hotel with so much information to an extent of knowing that Elijah was invited by the lady. Who heard? Who reported? Who saw them drowning? The police need to prove that what you see in the media may not necessary be true. Do postmortem, exam Elijahs, phones talk to his friends, check his work at the airport? Did he do a deal? Did people trail him? Check Check Check and let us know the facts. He is said to have bruises on the face? How
yes, they were murdered by sex.he should be arrested and brought to justice.
Yes , its sad to esperience death. But let us also face reality that cheating on your wife , husband, fiance is not good its sinfull. ICHIBEMBA CHITILA IFYAKULILA KUBUSHIKU FITULIKILA KUMALUSHI. Just check yourselves and stop this evil otherwise the same will happen to you.
the most comments are on this story you bloggers are just evil.wasting your time on this drivel.look at yourself in the mirror then first one cast the stone
#145 Dim Banda – Be quiet, we have a lot of stones
zhody dube… facebook bandit……
Lets take that advice from #50 on saving a drowning person. Drowning could happen to anyone!!
Yeah they pulled the facebook page but you can still see her on google and other search engines….
These guys loved each other to death…lol.
You can see Zhody Dube here http://74.125.77.132/search?q=cache:GAMYKpMeamEJ:www.facebook.com/people/Zhody-Brown-Dube/1743697151+zhody+brown+dube&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk
Very young life. Its pretty sad
Boi Chenze chulu dont lol. this is a case of what also always happens and just come out. yours has not. Lets all just learn from this situation. RIP ba EJ.
#142, I applaud you. You are making so much sense in your analysis. We are quick to conclude from the story thats posted. Please pipo stop and think just for a moment. Who did the two confide in that the girlfriend was about to teach him swimming, at that hour and all those details given. Its too much info, can the police if they are worth their salt please investigate. Has it occured to anyone that the girl could have witnessed what went down and so she had to be silenced for good lest she squeals, its the simple rule in the game, never leave a witness standing. Lastly, if she knew how to swim for real, why would she drown. If she was properly taught by proper instructors like the ones we had on the Copperbelt, she knew that you let someone take some cups, get exhausted before you…
one attempts to save the person. If the person drowning is holding on to you like they do, when the survival instincts kick in, you both sink and drown. So the best is to elbow then on the ribs so hard, they let go. Swim for safety and watch till they get exhausted. Only then can you swim back and save them. So ladies and gentlemen, think. There is a chance that something sinister went down. Something that transcends swimming. He may have stepped on someones toes……..Ala bane muli bamano saana bonse pano, ni njishiba namumfwa elo mwala shikamo. Fyala panga na sense. Ni pa Zed pano, things are going down just like in the movies. Ba mwenye baleipayana mafia style, ngecho Elijah Zulu teti afwile mumu sango uyo chinshi…….its mysterious……
#152 &153…..As you have put it, there could be many theories concerning these deaths. And there is no one on this blog LT refuting all those theories. However people are very much against the cheating and misbehaviour of the two. We have to face it head on that cheating on your wife and also flirting with maried people is not good. So many things come out of such inspid behaviour like these two deaths. Ofcourse if there is any mischief in these deaths , let the Police investigate as it is their job.
The more I think about this, the more it dawns on me that the people involved are very ordinary people. I am extremely saddened by this. Could have happened to anyone, man and wife, parent and child, friends, boyfriend and girlfriend married woman and her lover, or in this case man and his mistress. This is not the time for assuming moral high ground. Zambians, have become so used to death that they no longer sympathize with those who are grieving. Lets think about the families of the people involved and spare them the pain.
Journalism and Hotel management are two professions that have gone to the gutter these days. In the old days, Times or Daily mail would NEVER publish the name of the person involved in such an incidence and would rarely call them lovers if they were not  convinced that the two were married.  The manager at the lodge would be very unwilling to bring the name of his establishment into disrepute and would refuse to grant any interview with the press about such an incident and would never release the details of guests staying at his establishment.Â
The sad part of this story is not that these two could be girl friend and boy friend, or adulterous couple, but the non functional of Fridges at the morgues. When will RB invest the borrowed money in things that matter than his globetrotting expensive tours? When will Zambians demand what they deserve from this govt? When will the truth come out that of all the funds pumped in the Zambian govt, only 10% is spent on the intended ventures? If Chiluba had a task force looking into his corrupt behavior, how task forces will Banda need to catch up with his criminal behavior? The money spent on Thandiwe to go dance Nyau in Swazi, could buy how many compressors for the fridges?
Thank you God for the life of EJ. I think it is important to celebrate life and stop this condemnation. Everyone will one day die. How? Only the almight know the time and way one will go. So let us pray for the two families that have lost loved ones. I feel for both families and all I can say is, may the two souls rest in peace. For the Post, they whould have good judgement and see what is news worthy or not. Why make the story HEADLINE!! Machende anu.
DA STORY CONTINUES……
EVERLYN HONE STUDENTS RIOTES Because a married man took they mate out. They have smarshed cars, beaten up people and misbehaved big time. I dont know what devil is controlling our schools. Why mistrieat innocent people like that? Hone must also be ivestgated and punished nicely.
YOU see cifukushi cabupuba somebody dies in Siavonga and then go to Lusaka start beating people and just disturb public peace is malabish. After all we have nothing to do with it bushe nifwebo twa ba tu mine?. Why should we all sufer because of their ubuchende? Nafulwa sana.
Olympic Swimming Pool will be running special class for married men who cant swim, K150,000 per person for an extra K50,000 lessons as a life saver! come one come all, this training could just save your life………………..especially if you plan to go to siavonga.
# 42, I feel sorry for you. Probably been misled some where in life. Simple question to you, remember when you were in your, say pre teen years. put your self in a picture of your family going through the pain of your father having a Sidekick. Usually kids suffer the most. I hope you deal with that selfishness because what goes round comes round. May God help you.
Adieu mon amie Elijah.
#162 You are funny!
Its a sad event. Children have lost a father, a wife has lost a husband and friends and family have lost loved ones. Who can you blame? Is god trying to tell us something? I know of people who have committed worse crimes. I feel bad for all the other college girls who shall be victimised as there is a story going around that the lady was a student at Evelyn Hone College. I have only one request to make. As part of the national grieving process, I am pleading with Radio Phoenix, Sky FM, 5 FM and other radio stations, to braodcast some live discussion programmes focussing on this issue which fits well with some areas of concern under the ONE LOVE KWASILA campaign. Let the people TALK!! Say it OUT LOUD!!! I can assure you that we can all see ourselves linked to this in one way or the other.
Mwaseka saana! 2moro it will be u. let this be a lesson.
The POST has gone to the dogs. Shame on all editors at the POST.
Yes, the POST has gone to the Dogs… thats why Nyamasoya wants to regulate them!!!
Fast ladies, bussy budies, whatever you call yourselves, here is a piece of advise. Â Â The big car I own didn’t drop from heaven. There is a history. Like many other young men of the other times, I also wore a pant with lose lastic(yalesensela). Someone loved me through the hard times, thats why am married to her. Now that the crazy times are over and I am living big, you think you can seduce me with your strip fashion……Well, Â think again. Coz i will just use you and i will soon realise my humble woman is no different. so find your own simple man and grow with him to the riches.
‘….seems like there’s more to this unfortunate situation than anticipated. Going swimming just before mid-night…..? Yes, people can drown when out of there depth but going by the size of the pool…kind of wonder what exactly happenned. Whether this guy was married or not, two people have died under suspicious circumstances and I think it is morally correct to establish the facts that led to their demise. Boy friend/Girl friend matters should for this reason be considered secondary!
