Share

There was commotion at Luwingu district hospital yesterday after word went round that a man had given birth to a baby boy.

Luwingu district administrative officer Deotatus Musungwe confirmed that a group of notorious people spread fake information that a man had given birth in the district hospital maternity ward.

The commotion brought business in the main market to a near stand-still.Mr Musubgwe said people flocked to the district hospital maternity wing to
have a glimpse of the man who was allegedly reported to have given birth to a baby boy a rumour which he refuted.

“I personally went there to verify but there was nothing.Yes I received a text message that a man had delivered a baby boy, that was a lie,” he said.

Mr Musungwe said it was a busy day for the hospital staff to control the huge crowd which wanted to see the baby boy and the man who had delivered.

“It was a busy day for the officers at the district to control the huge crowd of people from the nearby villages which also included civil servants who were among the community wanting to see the baby,” he said.

It was rumoured that unnamed man in the nearby village impregnated a girl and later refused being responsible and that the parents of the girl allegedly performed witchcraft on him and transferred the pregnancy through magic to the man as a way of punishing him.

According to the story, when time to deliver came the man was reportedly rushed to the hospital not knowing that the elderly villagers had transferred back the alleged pregnancy to the girl.

Some health officers spoken to who declined to be named denied receiving a pregnant man saying such a thing had never happened.

“Who can impregnate a man, yes, there were a lot of people who came to the hospital to have a glimpse of a baby allegedly born from a man, even
today people have been coming while others where even offering to pay to see the baby but we explained that there was no such a thing here,” they said.

  1. Zambians with superstitions, awe sure… Please people come to your senses. Education sets you free but all the same you want to believe in witchcraft and all that. What mess.

    • RB you are busy blogging about witchcraft… judge chikopa and sata want that money from nigeria…kekekekekek

  2. Its a pity that a once enlightened nation has been transformed into a hub of ignorance and superstition. This is country with such a gullible population. If people see someone with unexplained wealth, they will believe he is a witch or other similar nonsense instead of scrutinizing for possible stealing or other forms of graft. Can we please create a ministry of national guidance that will assist to educate our people – being able to discern truth from lies, superstitions and propaganda of all colours.

    • We used to have a Ministry of National Guidance in the 70’s. yeah, what happened to that?

  3. Ku Luwingu kwaliba akantu zoona, every now and then you hear this and that in Luwingu, ninshi what is really happening in Luwingu kanshi? Ka visit next year will make sense mwe. The people need to be educated in that place!

  4. Let me put this to rest real quick.

    Men experience sympathy pains with symptoms such as weight gain, nausea, insomnia when their partner’s pregnant.

    Google is your friend.

  6. How about transferring the pregnancy to HH (Hakana Hifumo) for refusing to accept September 2011 defeat to PF???

    • Yeah Yikes, how about transferring a brain to that empty vessel sitting atop your neck.

    • B’coz Dr.Canicius Banda said I cannot have a brain transfer from Chiduku who bonks horses & has horse genes let alone shiits in under 5 diapers after kunyopola Zambeef offals from his cattle ranches in Choma…

    • You’ll have to do better than that Yikes.
      If you’re gonna snark back, you have to make your insult understandable and still remain an insult.

      You disappoint.

  7. How could any Human being in a sane frame of mind even waste their time, going to witness ma rubbish ya so?? This is the reason we are a nation of people who lynch pensioner’s, & Toast their homes, instead of affording them love, respect & affection. Shame!

  8. Illiteracy in my country!! How can people believe in things like this in this day and age? It’s so emberrassing to hear, especially when you have a “DISTRICT ADMINSTRATIVE OFFICER” who leaves his office to go and confirm if a man has given birth. I mean,..really?? Can the gorvernment invest in more schools and teachers please?
