    • This holy smoke has different effects I recall in during my high school days when a classmate who was a user would instantly turn into a mathematics and science genius after inhaling it and helping the whole class with the subject.

    • Hmmmmm…..Now I know why sniff is powerful, by the time you sniff a line, you out of your body. It’s not cocaine by the time you partake it. I bet she ate some hot curry in Doha, she had to doo doo, then got caught.

  1. Zambian women are a disgrace in general, there are very few decent ones. Most will do anything for money. At least with the Zimbabweans, you know the score.

  2. These women have started again. A lot of Zambian women were arrested for similar offenses overseas during the reign of RB. Why is it that each time an easterner is in power, women turn to drug trafficking? Is it a coincidence?

  3. Wrong headline, should read: Bemba woman arrested in Pakistan for cocaine trafficking. There is a difference between a Ghanaian and a Nigerian. It’s not a shocker if its a Nigerian!

  4. I wonder which way she used to conceal the 17caps in her rectum, I feel pit for the consumers of the product, coz had it reached to the intended customer they were not going to know how it was store, entrance or its exit.

  5. Only Bemba-Tonga women can be found in drug trafficking scandals not us humbled Luvale-Kaondes. Why always bembas & Tongas are the ones in stupid scandals? Last time a bemba woman was caught in China for the same problem & a Tonga woman also was caught in Brazil for the same problem of drug trafficking,why these tribes?Tongas & Bembas you are humiliating our country. mwe

  6. Why arrest those cultivating Blunt (Bang, marijuana etc) when the developed world we are copycats of is legalizing it?

  7. Maybe her 9ja bf gave it to her…That is what 9ja boyz do now seens d world know them 4 drugs and are very already a suspect on thier own

  8. Shame on these female crooks… How on earth can you start packing narcotics in the anus? How do you expect to be respected if you show such levels of desperation? I just cant imagine seeing a woman walking in the airport shaking bums stuffed with narcotics. This is disgusting to say the least. You are better of selling groundnuts at a local market. Women lobby groups must start a program to sensitise women to be role models and desist from such desperate undertakings. The behaviour of most Zambian women especially in urban areas is really bad…rapid urbanisation is a problem and the want for a quick good life.

  9. she should have hidden the stuff in punani not in the rectum because the stuff mixed with pipi alerts security.

  10. thats why fibakolela the packaging itself is unthinkable, in my local language it sounds more insult!
