Aout 1,000 live ammunitions have been unearthed in Chavuma Distict, in Northwestern province.
ZANIS reports that Richard Kanyembo a peasant farmer of Chiyeke area said he came across the ammunition which he believed was buried by unknown people in his field.
And District Commissioner, Benjamin Mufunga confirmed the development in an interview saying the? ammunition have since been taken for safe custody at Chingi police station.
He has appealed to security personnel from the ministry of defence headquarters in Lusaka to get to the district to assess the area as there might still be more ammunition in the area.
Mr. Mfunga said there could be other dangerous objects buried and also advise on how they be disposed off.
He further appealed to Chavuma residents to be cautious? and avoid touching any suspicious looking objects.
He also advised people not hesitate to report to relevant authorities whenever they come across strange objects.
Last month some children were found playing with an anti- tank explosive which they had found along the Zambezi river bank.

This Upnd trying to go gorilla. They have been talking this path of late and soon or later hh and gbm will turn into rebel group and hiding like boko.
When you have an illegitimate govt that disregards the Constitution, any means of removing them is optional. However, this story dies not say what type of ammo. Is it for military weapons or shotgun bullets for poachers?
Let them try we shall cut their balls and roast them ,but hw far is the boarder to the scene if far away then further investigations are to be launched or else HH and GBoM might be culprits
Chavuma is walkable distance from the Angolan border. I’m sure these are remnants of the civil war in Angola. No need for bloggers like HHTechilema to get excited and start accusing other peace loving citizens. No one wants civil war in Zambia.
In a country that has hosted so many refugees, this should not be a surprise. These refugees came from all directions and were not really confined to the camps like Meheba. The more familiar they became with the Geography of Zambia, the more they were likely to turn into Robbers, Poachers etc. Zambia can not sink so low as to start a trend that will cause more harm than good.
Wars of words may flourish but going that far?…I really doubt.

HE Edgar Lungu take these issues seriously. Stop treating these pipo like eggs. However bad kambwili can be bring him back to your cabinet.
Look at how you treated the barbarians from southern province do you expect them to stop?
Just know that no govt in Africa has won a war without serious losses from both sides. Uganda has failed to stop the LRA for 30 years. Don’t yap about war when you cannot even keep streets clean.
The trouble with feeble minds that think that wars are easy to start and win, is that they don’t understand that weapons are now cheap and lives even cheaper. Just look at Somalia, South Sudan, Uganda or even DRC. Once you start war, how do you stop it? In Zambia, how many years were the Mailoni brothers terrorising people in Luano? Keep the peace and don’t start a war you can’t stop.
That’s why it’s important for you to post sober comment on this forum. You are the biggest culprit when it comes to provocative and divisive comments. Follow your own advice for once!
@6 BTL, its utterances like yours that can cause polarization in the country. Please refrain from tribal talk. You need to blg responsibly and pass on the message as such. We Zambians love each other regardless of tribe.
Wazabanga, you are dreaming my friend. If war breaks out in any of the West or southern parts of Zambia, that is the end of that failed enterprise of yours. Just look at how Foday Sankoh’s lousy rag tugs captured an entire armed Zambian unit and slaughtered it. In Sudan, when the Janjaweeds came knocking, Zambian soldiers sinali malubilo uko, even Sam Matete would have been full of admiration.
Well put, & funny Ngombala.
Lubilo seen by those Zedian Soldiers running away from The Janjaweed was record breaking, & would have put Usain Bolt’s world records to shame.
Those bullets belong to Kambwili since he loves a scrap, so they should just return them as he intends to use them on “The Mwaiche”- Bowman.
