  1. Kanshi what is happening to my town Ndola? Just the other day a Mr. Van Rooyen beat his wife to death after catching her in flagrante delicto. Then there is Mpombo’s son and the severed head of a pregnant teen.

  2. I googled the damn thing. Why would he do that? Bad Blood, Bad Neighborhood, Sick in the head?
