    • This so called ANKA is illiterate, moron, nothing political here, you are so dull, ask psychologists what causes suicide. Don’t just open your diarrhoea mouth any how. learn to get sense not nonsense even in rich countries poverty is there, which planet are you where there is no poverty. My friend you die dreaming if you think there is a country where there is no poverty.

    • A result of false promises by the UPND. This man was promised a job in the foreign services by UPND after winning the 2016 election. UPND gave too many promises to i.d.i.o.t.s who also believed that a bantustan would win the election

    • No, it’s not poverty at all. The emotional mental weakness finally got to his mind. Poverty is everywhere and worse off here in the sates but it hidden. American commit suicide over issues related to just being upset of petty things that you would laugh of in Zed.

    • Lazy police what if someone pushed him off the Balcony?? we are not hearing anything about a suicide note or him threatening to take his own life ?? And somehow like the fires the police have just concluded that is is suicide and we are all just ready and willing to take it like that. Awe sure!

    • Poverty is over ruled by:
      – drivers license, in Zambia you well-to-do
      – Findeco jumping, poor people drink pesticides or hang on a tree.
      At 62:
      – lawyer swindled him
      – pension not received in time
      – inkongole
      – women affairs

    • @Nkana Kitwe…poverty is like a pregnancy, you can only hide it for so long. And to compare the US where unemployment is 2.3% to Zambia where is unemployment is 65% is to be PF-dull.

    • How can you mention that PF causes the suicide?! The deceased might have 1000 reasons for his deed. It’s sad enough! So let him rest in peace!

  1. I remember witnessing such an incident some time back. Why do people take their lives in such ways. Life is full of challenges or ups and downs and one needs to be have a strong will to live on. We all have pressure of one sort or another. Any may be our man was tired of facing the realities of life.

    • blame the pf government.they promised people more money in the pockets,more jobs.these are the effects you’re seeing under Chakolwa Wagwa Lungu…lol

  2. Now that HH is out of jail, we will see a lot more of such sacrifices including accidents. Lets pray hard or send him back to jail. Tizasila

    • Kumawa; I think you are a programmed robot; even when it is an issue of suicide you have to bring in HH. Imagine well educated people reading these silly irrelevant themes on a topic that is about a sad affair.

  3. PF and UPND, Vingovutana these fellas. Politics si ndeo imwe ambuli. Politics is a fight of ideas and delivery to the electorates. Very useless comments, nothing building but divisiveness. Maybe central statistics must be giving us the dullness rate per month as they do with inflation. Put up nice ideas, lets debate them with good progressive fights. Debate objectively and not only on partisan lines. The reason why the Obama health care bill was not repealed in America is because some republicans resisted what their president wanted and instead stuck to objectivity

  4. Here we go again in our judgemental Zambian ways !! Speculations before an inquest takes place to determine the reasons behind the death / suicide. Try being empathic and sensitive please. It may not be politically motivated at all , most suicides are personal and unless you knew him personally, you’ll never know what he was going through.

  5. If this man jumped to his death on grounds that his terminal benefits amounting to only K16,000 were delayed, makes very sad reading.

  6. You have not informed the next of kin BUT you are graphically detailing how ” the deceased was found with a smashed head, fractured legs and hands”…how did you conclude he jumped.
    These incompetent ZP need more training!!

  7. Jumped or pushed, we don’t know. Did police witness the man jump or just the writer is lazy and could have followed up for more details…..

  8. Enka is from “there!” It is as dull as … HaJayJay and … who are also from there!! Sad to lose a person. Condolences to the famil.
