Zambia’s High Commissioner to South Africa Emmanuel Mwamba says Everette Chongo, a University of Zambia student that was evacuated to South Africa for specialist medical treatment is making remarkable improvement.

Mr. Mwamba visited the student in the Hospital today and said she is making tremendous improvement after surgeries to her spine and legs.

And her Parents Geoffrey and Vivien Chongo have expressed gratitude to government particularly President Edgar Lungu and Health Minister Chitalu Chilufya for affording their daughter specialist medical treatment.

Specialist Doctors in South Africa on Sunday 14th October 2018 successfully conducted a surgery on Everette Chongo.

Everette, a second-year student in the school of education injured her spine and broke her legs when she jumped from her October Hostel room during the riots at the University of Zambia which led to the death of Vespers Shimuzhila, a fourth-year student also in the school of education.

  1. That is wonderful news? Any news on an inquiry as to what transpired, who was at fault, and most important of all, how we reduce the chances of these tragic events recurring? That should be news ba LT. Dig deeper.

    • Why do we Africans thank the government for doing something for us using tax payers money, to put it correctly why should madam chongo thank them for buying teargas, send ba buju to teargas her daughter ,who are paid through taxes they,maim their child again send the child for specialist treatment out of country using the same tax money they didn’t want to pay their daughter on time, and for all they are saying Thank you.

    • We all know what transpired. The cops fired teargas into Vespers’ room and she suffocated to death while her room mate jumped out of the window for safety. We want to hear that the cop who fired teargas into that room has been arrested. Yesterday that is why I could not join in praying with hypocrites who know nothing but enriching themselves and killing innocent souls. As much as Vespers’ death is deeply regretted I hope students also learnt a lesson and would never attempt to damage innocent people’s property

  2. Thats un necessary. It shouldn’t have happened at all.

  3. #5 U5 vs ka Tayali, at this point in time GBM or no GBM running mate, Tri.bal Hacks is dead and beyond resurrection, just waiting for post mortem before burial. He should have known this and apologised in 2006 itself, instead he wanted to play smart with people who loathe tri.balism. Even GBM as running mate is due to trib.alism. Ever wondered why upnd never has an acting president? Simple, it cannot be a bemba monkey.

  4. “…And her Parents Geoffrey and Vivien Chongo have expressed gratitude to government particularly President Edgar Lungu and Health Minister Chitalu Chilufya for affording their daughter specialist medical treatment…”
    Of course they are grateful because their daughter is alive. You moron should be advocating for policies that treat our children in Zambian hospitals and removal of police brutality. Our tax as Zambians paid for the evacuation and treatment, have a decent heart and thank the people of Zambia. You are appalling and are cursing your future family generation for applauding this nonsense.

  5. Mwamba is an embarrassment and a very useless bootlicker, if you think Lusambo is chief bootlicker this guy is 20 times over, nembwa yawamako………. it like a competition in PF to see who the biggest @ss liker to the thief Jonathan is.
