The incident, which happened on the main road of the district on the noon of New Year’s Eve, attracted several on-lookers who making last minute shopping for the New Year’s Day and temporarily set a somber mood in the district.

Eyewitnesses said Chisani lost control of his metallic grey Toyota Land Cruiser vehicle registration number ALR 6060 and hit the teenage pedestrian before ramming into a stationary truck registration number ALG 995.

The teenage victim of an unknown abode, who was sandwiched between the Land Cruiser and the truck, was rescued from the wreckage by passersby.

By press time, the victim’s condition was still not clear as eyewitnesses gave different accounts of his state of health while hospital authorities at Kaoma District Community Hospital could not be immediately reached for comment.

And police sources in Kaoma said Chisani was driving in a convey at high speed and lost control of the motor vehicle after ramming into the rear of his other Toyota Land Cruiser which was making campaign announcements for the PF candidate for the January 20 poll.

Sources said Chisani attempted to overtake the motor vehicle which was ahead of him because he may have observed counter-PF symbols being brandished by some cadres in the opposite direction and in the process lost control.

Residents found at the scene expressed dismay with the manner political parties are conducting their campaigns using vehicles mounted with Public Address Systems in the district which normally starts as early as 03:00 hours in the morning.

  1. Don’t be deceived by the PF rally crowds, people are only going to see the visionless Edgar Lungu who again lying to his charlatan cadres how he will capsize their sinking canoe.
    Voting for Lungu is suicide and therefore endorse a Hero of Humanity to economically, democratically, politically, socially and culturally govern the country. This Hero of Humanity is HH. Hope and Health for the nation and not the visionless Lungu.
    Satas vision was confusion,tribalism and violence, 19 days left till PF is democratically kicked off.

    • Campaigning should be done with due respect to the community. Campaigning should be done within the perimeters of the law. How does a party that observes the law be using cars that are not even registered? The message being put across to the masses is wrong. The other day I was parked and was in a supermarket, a driver for one of the PF vehicles parked near mine. When I came out to drive out the PF driver’s door had been left wide open. I couldn’t drive out and the driver was nowhere to be seen. A worker from the shop came out and closed it. Meanwhile there was a bleached woman sitting in the car pretending to read a newspaper. This behavior smacks of arrogance and no regard for other people. PF cadres are too excited.

  2. Okay this is sad news 2020vision wishes this young man a full recovery, a terrible accident but through God all things are possible and indeed we pray he recovers from what must truely be terrible wounds and our prayers as a PF family are with the young man..terrible incident!!!

  3. Chisani must be arrested.
    This information is untrue;
    Sources said Chisani attempted to overtake the motor vehicle which was ahead of him because he may have observed counter-PF symbols being brandished by some cadres in the opposite direction and in the process lost control.

    PF are killers from the beginning we have seen even their own governance is brutal, think of Kampasa killings up to now they have not revealed the nation reasons from their so called “Commission of Enquirery”. We will chase them one by one for many brutalities.
