  1. BA LT, “…vibrate civic leader…”. OR VIBRANT CIVIC LEADER? ANYWAY, EVERY ARTICLE IN YOUR PAPER IS FULL OF GRADE 7 BROKEN ENGLISH. SO, I SHOULDN’T BE SURPRISED.

    • HH wayamba ama ritual sacrifices ? Still tayakabombe yakatuna mu 2016 boi nangu wipaye banga.

    • Sad. Such a young man. HH should consider donating the cows he wanted to donate to Sata`s funeral to this one. Mhsrip

    • Could be a number of reasons…. Until a post mortem is carried out, we can’t jump to conclusions. It could be a snake bite, heart attack etc.

    • 30 Km away? He might have got lost, thirty, hungry and exhausted and died. Just 32 yrs old, he could have been MP in next elections.

  2. This sad reading. Condolences to the family on the loss of their loved one.

    Could it be that he is one of the UPND Councillors who refused to defect to PF and now they are being killed.

    The problem with Zambia is that, their is no forensic science department to investigate the cause of death thoroughly and find the perpetrators. This I feel is one area we need to do something about without fail.

  3. HH wayamba ama ritual sacrifices ? Still tayakabombe yakatuna mu 2016 boi nangu wipaye banga.

  4. Family members may have valid info but the death and should take action. Waiting for govt will not yield anything tangible. An eye for an eye bamboo!!!
