  1. Very sad indeed!

    Now can you guys at Lusaka Times get an Editor to help sanitize your reporting. Of late such elementary errors have become shockingly common reflecting a woeful lack of seriousness on your part.You can do better !

    • I think I just lost some brain cells reading this article. LT, make sure your writers are sober before subjecting us to such poor writing!

      May the souls of the deceased rest in peace.

  2. Yes,these LT guys forget that they r online and the whole world reads their news.they behave lyk a high school news media

  3. RITUAL MURDERS! CAN THE STATE PLEASE BAN TRADITIONAL HEALERS WHO HAVE MUSHROOMED ESPECIALLY IN THE POST NEWSPAPER ADVERTS? THESE ARE THE ONES SEEKING CHARMS TO STRENGTHEN THE SO CALLED DARK FORCE POWERS, THEY ARE NOW HEAVILY COMPETING!

  4. With all you guys ganging up on LT, if I were LT I would have started to cry ka. ha!

    The one that sent me rolling on the floor is the sobriety test for journalists before they sit down to pen an article.

  5. Government should act quickly to deal with this wickedness in our country.

    In the short term, let us find the culprits of recent ritualistic murders, and through the whole book at them.

    In the long term, educating traditional leaders and doctors in best practises is needed.

    Bring in Scotland Yard to investigate. They can profile where these cases are taking place and narrow in on the culprits. DNA preservation is crucial.

    In the meantime, let us be steadfast in prayer. You never know who is the next victim.
