I don’t care if it is Tonga killing fellow Tonga. Its okbthey can kill one another in their own territory
Nonsense, when a life is lost its a loss to all Zambians unless you are a Congolese.
Even with HH, how hope is it doesnt go to punishment by death because no one deserves to die.
Your comments are recipe for a genocide cage your useless brain
You see Kapeso, you need community when it matter most.
we told them to arrest those PF thug robbing at grave yard now they follow mourners to their hometowns.

When Lungu can’t tame his minions and HH is unable to act this is what you should expect. Sad stuff indeed!

Evil men talk nonsense. Very wicked to the core….
A safe breached with sharp instruments!! Are sure its not a MDF wooden cabinet. How do you live money in the office!!
sounds like an inside job.
This is unfortunate,uncalled for n unacceptable may God help police find these evil men,so that they ar arrested.
Bring them to Book, they are NOT TONGAS they are just criminals and should be brought to book. Human life is more important than tribe. It does not matter which tribe they are. When you commit a crime you are a criminal. period.
By the way; how far has the I.G. gone with the investigation of the killing of the police officer in lusaka?
IT LOOKS LIKE AN INSIDE JOB GUARD SPARED WHILE THE WATER PUMPER KILLED? HOW DID THEY KNOW THERE WAS MONEY IN THE OFFICE? BECAUSE MONEY IS NOT KEPT IN THE OFFICE. DOES IT MEAN THAT THE ISSUE OF MONEY CAME IN SO THAT THE MONEY WHICH WAS PLUNDERED BEFORE AUDITORS CAN AUDIT ACCOUNTS IS MISLED? K12000 IS TOO MUCH WHY NOT KEEP IT IN THE BANK FOR SAFETY REASONS BUT BECAUSE OF CARELESS MONEY KEEPING PROMPTED THIEVES TO ATTACK AND A SOUL IS LOST TOO BAD. WHOEVER IS IN CHARGE OF THIS MONEY SHOULD BE ARRESTED, AND CONSIDER IT A LOAN TO BE DEDUCTED FROM HIS SALARY WITH AN INTEREST TO ACCOUNT FOR INFLATION FOR BEING CARELESS LEARN TO KEEP GOVERNMENT CASH PROPERLY.
