Oh, very bad news to read, especially that he was a police officer. This highlights the fact that the police force in Zambia, do not believe in some these traffic rules and the consequences. It does not matter who we are, speed kills at its worst, dont forget. Do not fear the police or the fine but be afraid to loose (your) life
Satanic sacrifices have began by UPND in SP like we have been told about those on the Chibombo/Kabwe road by PF…
Noko itole!!
Hakainde has sacrificed another innocent soul!!!!!!!!!!!
Noko iciwa!!
mushota is obssessed with tribe..shame..
Biemba are you sure of what you are claiming? Its better and good manners to remain quite than say things that you can even substantiate. People can no longer hide behind their laptops you know.
Sad. But its curious that for most of the accident reports where there have been fatalities, this has been attributed to ‘over speeding’. There may be other causes for some of the accidents. Does anyone bother to investigate properly? The press reports don’t say the source of these claims of over speeding. They may be assumptions. And what’s the point of giving us the registration numbers of the cars involved each time?
Well, Mushota, Sony, Noma Sibanda Is A Typical Zulu Or Ndebele Name. Zulus (Nguni Or Ngoni In Zambia) And Ndebeles Of Zimbabwe Are Variously Progeny Of The Great Shaka Zulu Of Amazulu In RSA. I just hope your question was not fuelled by tribal bigotry being orchestrated by PF.
