A Taxi driver in Kabwe is battling for his life in hospital after he was shot twice on suspicion that he was flirting with another man’s girlfriend.At the time of the shooting, the woman in question was with the taxi driver when a man, who was accompanied by another, ordered that they open the windows of the car they were in before opening fire.He shot the driver twice on the back of his neck and shoulder.

Central Province Deputy Commissioner of Police Andrew Mbewe said the incident happened around 19:00 hours in Highridge residential area.Mr Mbewe said the name of the 24-year-old driver had for now been withheld, while police were trying to establish the ownership of the gun.Police are holding two people in connection with the shooting.Preliminary investigations indicated that the two suspects followed the victim to the area where he was dropping off the woman.

“We are holding two people to assist with investigations over the shooting and wounding of a taxi driver and we want to get to the root of it,” he said.He said hospital authorities had managed to remove the bullets from the victim who was recovering though still in pain.

In another incident, police have launched a manhunt for a suspect alleged to have set ablaze a house belonging to his former wife in Kapiri Mposhi.Mr Mbewe said the incident in which household goods were gutted to ashes happened at Kawale village.

Meanwhile, police are looking for a man who is alleged to have defiled a six-year-old girl in Kapiri Mposhi while another girl, 14, has been defiled by an 18-year-old boy in Kabwe.

    • Its follow the leader!!
      Sata declared 7 guns as his assets during presidential nominations.
      HH declared stocks in companies and thousands, if not million now of heads of cattle.

    • Nostrasomething, don’t you have anything else to say apart from Sata? You are really troubled my friend. You need medication, seriously so because you have gone bananas over Sata.

  1. Things people do in the name of love ! Ala ngabakukana kusuminafye not even going to the extent of taking another persons life.Sad

  2. Gunam style.Crime of compassion.Need to get a gun also but not for killing over a ?@%ach.Need a gun for bankongole .Would scare them into paying back their debt.

  3. Wrong target. Next time shoot the woman, turn the barrel of the gun towards yourself and pull the triger again. The two of you can go and enjoy in hell. We shall bury you and write (MYSRIP)-May Your Souls Rise If Possible. KEKEKEKEKEKEKE

  4. @Cumbu Munshololwa SC
    Ati shani? ati May Your Souls Rise If Possible, Ha ha ha ha aha aha. good one yeh.

  5. Y is it that when I woman declines a man’s proposal, they tend to shoot or beat the woman to death lol…………

  6. ENGLISH IS OUR “MEDIUM OF INSTRCUCTION IN ZAMBIA”.
    WOMEN ARE OUR “MEDIUM OF DESTRCUTION IN ZAMBIA.
    TAKE YOUR PICK.

    • this statement sounds so funny and silly at the same time! maybe bcoz im a wman. anyway, no need for guns. no need for shooting, nga bakukana find another one and life goes on!

  7. Ngabakukana,kwikalafyeeee nangu wafwayako umbi.This girl loved the taxi driver and i see nothing wrong with that.Cage the chaps!!

  8. Guns in Kabwe? Police do something before this becomes a habit. Shooting each other on Girls. Ubuchende Pa ZED.

  9. Ba police budalu. They were trying to identify the owner of the gun? Why? Just ask the woman she knows the guy. Period

  10. This police-men sure.. you have two pipo one fire the shot and othe other is the witness..but u still looking for the owner of the gun… before we know the docket will dispppear. The police need to just check if the gun is a lisenced gun owner..Ask Obama is doing this gun control may be he can assist…

  11. I hope it is not these ugly girls whose front cannot be distinguished from the back. Now the idiot with the gun will have more time behind bars as the girl enjoys her time with other men.

  12. i think Kitwe should be declared “a city of love ” i gotta a girl from Kitwe she’s hot and very beautiful.And if any one coulda try bonk her away from me i swear i could definitely do the same, but not monga uyo mwana wapofu me i coulda shoot ku joni olo ku musulafye

  13. Monitoring is best done when you have a couple of data to compare. A lot of blood pressure monitors have huge memory banks storing about 80 or more readings. If you’re going to buy a blood pressure monitor that’s so hard to use then might as well stick with sphygmomanometer and stethoscope.
