    • BUT YOU ARE CHILDISH,WHAT DO BEMBAS HAVE TO DO WITH THIS.GROW UP,DONT PROMOTE TRIBE DIVISIONS.JUST PRACTICE POLITICS AND LEAVE OUR PEOPLE OUT OF CHEAP POLITICS.

    • “Other suspects picked up……………………………….Jonathan Mujala with unknown age of house number CSC08 Cold Storage”

      This one is BEMBA, was born pa mwaka wakucinja currency.

    • I dont know what is now happening to Bembas, they being out done in this area. May be they have graduated from being petty thieves to Govt deals (like chiGBM so)

  1. I thought Copper is worthless nowadays anyway, not that I know how much a tonne fetches, why are they praising the thieve instead of condemning the security that was allegedly supposed to have caught these thieves.

    I would fire the securities and let the thieves go because they have only showed the lapses of the competencies of the security and the police anyway

    Terrible drama for a Friday

    • Imagine this katanga cop holding a round in her bare hands no gloves no nothing I thought that was critical evidence to be processed.

  2. I thought the wealthy of this country is for Zambian and it should be used for the benefit of Zambians.
    Make me understand, is this copper from another country found with Zambians?
    or are these so called thieves foreigners found with copper from Zambia?
    I don’t understand how you can be arrested for been in possession of something that belongs to you.

  3. Imagine the entire Police fimofimo holding the evidence with no gloves!! how do you defend yourself if the suspects say they should check for finger prints? Ba buju naimwe anso ma gloves niochipa anso mwami bazungu!

  4. Thats why Alabis immunity should be removed. Government departments were neglected, while them and their families allegedly amassed wealth, vehicles, bycicles, an accounted for, money buried in the ground. They worked hard to “dress” their camapigns but they never worked hard to dress their officers. It strated in FTJ, LPM remembered government departments atleast, but Alabi aisabalabako, and he was shown the door. GOD BLESS ZAMIA.

  5. ZP still unprofessional as usual photo 4 – don’t these guys have plastic tiebacks or hand cuffs to restrain the suspects and how do you hold a rifle with one hand don’t they have straps to carry them round their shoulders…poorly trained guys.

  6. Bembas Bembas, missing in action. I dont know what is now happening to Bembas, they being out done in this area. May be they have graduated from being petty thieves to Govt deals (like chiGBM so)

  7. Number 16.1 , i think you are from eastern province and a nsenga for that matter for you to write that deep nsenga/ngoni? Are you the one who featured in that RB comedy about elections etc?

  8. Zambia the real africa,zed the land of thieves.What is stopping these hoodlums from working hard to earn their keep other than stealing?

  9. Most of the contributions here are written in broken english.Ati bakolwe basekana ifipato.You are all just showing how imature you can be.

  10. Ba Zambian Police very unprofessional,how you gonna be picking up EVIDENCE without GLOVES jst like that…???
