The family of slain UNZA student Vespers Shumunzhila has spoken out after she was linked to some underground opposition activities whilst at the University of Zambia.
Last week, outspoken EPP leader Chilufya Tayali sensationally claimed that Vespers was part of a clandestine movement sponsored by UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema which was recruiting students to the UPND.
But Vespers’s Father, Davison has finally opened up about the daughter’s death and denounced attacks by Mr Tayali.
In an emotional statement issued over the weekend, Mr Shumunzhila said his daughter was never involved in any political activities.
“Of particular concern to the family are statements attributed to a politician and activist Chilufya Tayali that our daughter Vespers was involved in clandestine activities. He further alleges our daughter was an agent of a named political party. Is this allegation confirmation that Vespers was specifically targeted and killed due to these suspected activities? If so, who targeted her and was this killing legal?”
“Why didn’t the state investigate, arrest and prosecute her for the same if at all indeed she had committed any crime? Surprisingly, the police have not come out to warn this activist to stop issuing such serious allegations. Is this a systematic way of trying to cover her unjust death?” He questioned.
Below is the full statement issued by Mr Davison Shumunzhila, Father to late Vespers Shumunzhila
STATEMENT BY THE FAMILY OF THE LATE VESPERS SHIMUNZHILA
The Family of Vespers Shumunzhila, the university of Zambia student who died on 5th October 2018 issue this statement to correct many falsehoods and half-truths that have been circulating in the media. The family has remained silent on the matter because we are still mourning. We are in deep shock and sorrow following the loss of our beloved one in such a tragic and unfortunate manner.
Firstly and foremost, the Family would like to sincerely thank all persons, organizations and institutions that rendered material, financial and moral support during this period of mourning. We would like to specifically thank the Government of the Republic of Zambia and the University of Zambia for providing financial and logistical support during the funeral in Lusaka and Namwala. We thank all government officials, politicians and political parties, civil society organizations, the church, the management, lecturers, staff and students of the University of Zambia, friends and relatives who came to mourn with us at the funeral house, at the church service in Lusaka and at the burial site in Namwala. We pray that God’s blessings be with you all. We would not have managed to put our beloved daughter to her final rest without your assistance and support.
Our daughter Vespers Shimunzhila was born in 1993 and raised in our under-privileged family in Kantengwa area of Namwala District, Southern Province. She was the third born in a family of ten siblings of Mr. and Mrs. Davison Shimunzhila. Vespers was outstanding amongst all her siblings. She exhibited discipline, intelligence, and hard work from a very young age. She was devoted to Christian teachings and was a full communicant member of the Seventh Day Adventists, the church to which all family members congregate. Her discipline, intelligence and hard work saw her progress from Kantengwa, a primary school that does not have any electricity lighting, to Kasenga and Njase Secondary during her secondary school life. For tertiary education, she studied at Rusangu University for one academic year. She then applied and was accepted at University of Zambia the following year to pursue a degree in Education with specific focus on Adult Education.
As a poor family, we will not shy to state that Mr. and Mrs. Shimunzhila struggled to raise funds to meet the school requirements for our daughter Vespers. Much as she was on government bursary, there were other school expenses that were not covered. As poor peasant farmers, securing funding for her school requirements was always a challenge.
Sometimes, we had to incur debts to pay for her school requirements. In most cases she went to school with inadequate funds, but would never complain. Instead she would always assure us that the family’s financial problems would be alleviated once she completed her course and get employed. She did not leave to see that day, because someone terminated her life in the most painful manner. We did not invest in our daughter’s education expecting a return. We did it so that she could move out of the vicious circle of poverty. Our prayer was that she could pass on the gesture to her siblings and other members of the extended family in future. Sadly, this was never to be.
A few days before the tragic incidence the father Mr. Davidson Shimunzhila phoned his daughter from Kenya where he was attending a short course training in agriculture. During their cellphone conversation, Vespers pleaded with her father that the family start preparing for her graduation. The father assured her that we would raise the required funds for her graduation. Around 07:00 hrs on 5th October 2018, whilst in Kenya, the father got a phone call from Flare his wife and Vespers ‘mother that Vespers was dead! He was devastated and confused. His wife Flare told him that their daughter died in a room at a University hostel after the room was engulfed with teargas, smoke and fire. This allegedly happened after the police moved into campus to quell a riot by the students. The father was surprised because our daughter Vespers was not of riotous behavior.
When the father reached Lusaka, He was briefed that the state decided to carry out a post-mortem before the body could be handed over to the family. This, the family was informed, that it was mandatory when the state has reason to suspect that a death was not by natural causes. Since the notice was short, the family could not get independent medical experts to witness the autopsy. However, two family relatives witnessed the autopsy. A third party with medical expertise also witnessed the autopsy. From the witnessing of the autopsy, it seemed that Vespers sustained other fatal injuries in addition to teargas suffocation! The family will not give any detail on this as it is a subject on an ongoing investigation.
The pathologist issued a certificate of death and promised that the detailed post-mortem report would be ready within three days. After this period elapsed, a family member was sent to collect a copy of the autopsy report. The member was referred to the police as they were now the only ones with custody of the report. The police refused to avail a copy of the report to the family. Their fear was that the document may not be secured and if it leaked, it would jeopardize the investigation. The family insisted on even just having sight of the document to compare with what was observed during the autopsy. This, the police also denied the family.
We do appreciate that this may be standard police procedure, but we are worried as a family. This is a peculiar case where the complainant is the state, the investigator is the state police, and the prime suspect is the police.
We were informed that the police have different units and can and do investigate each other. But, ultimately, all police departments report to one command. Is this not conflict of interest? The police has not been forthcoming to the family with the status of the investigation. There is no organized liaison between the investigating team and the family.
To add to our concerns, the police high command has not come out strongly against the actions of police officers deployed to quell the riots on that fateful early morning. There have been statements attributed to high ranking government officials throwing the blame to students’ riotous behavior, and very little or no comments regarding the actions of the police. Would this not influence public opinion and the investigation?
Faced with this dilemma, the family decided to commence its own fact finding. Eyewitness accounts indicate that our daughter, Vespers Shimunzhila was sleeping in her room with other students on that fateful night. She was nowhere near the scenes of the riots. Eyewitness accounts also indicated that police fired teargas canisters into October 2 hostel of the University. Following that, two rooms caught fire and teargas and smoke engulfed a number of rooms of the hostel. Later, fellow students found our daughter Vespers in a kneeling position, unconscious. She was in nightwear, indicating that she was not at the scenes of the riots. The students rushed her to the university clinic, but she never regained consciousness.
The police did not do much to secure a possible scene of a crime. Pictures of civilians inspecting the scene started appearing on social media. As a result, evidence may have been contaminated and lost. Our enquiries indicate that police did not interview possible eyewitnesses more than four days after the incidence. There is no statement from the police as to who was in charge of the operation and what the orders for the same were.
Amidst silence from the police, a number of people have continued to issue statements and opinions on this sorrowful case. A few comments have been sympathetic to the family, the student populace and others affected by this death. Other statements have been very painful to the family as they paint Vespers as a political agent. Others suggesting that she was involved in clandestine activities. There is no truth to all these statements. The police have not issued any warning to stop such statements. The family is still in mourning. We request that people refrain from making such negative and unfounded accusations of our dearly departed family member. Vespers can no longer speak for herself. The family may be forced to seek legal redress against any person or persons who continue to issue negative unsubstantiated statements about Vespers. Please, please, let the soul of our daughter rest in peace.
Of particular concern to the family are statements attributed to a politician and activist Chilufya Tayali that our daughter Vespers was involved in clandestine activities. He further alleges our daughter was an agent of a named political party. Is this allegation confirmation that Vespers was specifically targeted and killed due to these suspected activities? If so, who targeted her and was this killing legal? Why didn’t the state investigate, arrest and prosecute her for the same if at all indeed she had committed any crime? Surprisingly, the police have not come out to warn this activist to stop issuing such serious allegations. Is this a systematic way of trying to cover her unjust death? A number of influential persons who are not part of the police investigations have also been issuing statements and opinions about the circumstances of Vespers’ death. Through this, won’t the police investigations be influenced to end up just validating these statements and opinions?
We would like to put the record straight.
- Vespers did not have any medical history of Asthma
- Vespers was not a student militant. She was not involved in the riots of October 5, 2018
- Vespers was not a political activist. She did not even have a voter’s card. She did not drive to enable her organize Avondale area as alleged.
- Vespers was a servant of the lord Jesus Christ. She could not be involved in clandestine activities.
Since there is a lot of public interest in this case, we request that government urgently institute an inquest. That way, members of the public who are not within the police investigation target may be availed chance to give evidence.
We also request that the police avail a copy of the post-mortem report to the family without further delay. Failure to this, the family may have no other option, but to reveal the findings of the post-mortem as witnessed.
We also appeal to Government to find a lasting solution to minimize student unrest at the University of Zambia and other institutions of higher learning. We are concerned as parents about statements indicating that government should cease funding to students at UNZA. Our daughter Vespers’ death would be in total vain if a multitude of students from poor families lose their bursaries and are dropped from UNZA. Vespers’ death should not be used to justify the use of education as a tool of class differentiation. As we live with the lifelong pain of losing our beloved daughter, we as the Shimunzhila family continue to look forward to a Zambia that is characterized by universal access to education. Should we not dream of a Zambia where are daughter of a peasant farmer can become a medical doctor, a son of a street vendor can become an engineer and an orphan can become a top lawyer rising to the position of Chief Justice of the Judiciary, just to mention a few? Countries such as those of South-east Asia that have experienced high rates of economic growth in the last five decades are characterized by huge spending in public education. It would be very sad if Zambia takes the opposite direction.
Finally, we would like to make profound appreciation to all organizations that have come out strongly to show support in pursuit of justice for our daughter Vespers. We make specific mention of the Human Rights Commission who are conducting their own investigations, the Law Association of Zambia who have pledged legal support for Vespers’ cause, the NGOCC, and a pressure group called Voice of Vespers who have commenced advocacy activities for our dearly departed daughter.
The family will draw on all these resources and would welcome any further support, no matter how little. A formal organized structure may be formed to steer a holistic approach to ensure that justice is served for Vespers.
The cardinal question is “WHO WILL SPEAK FOR VESPERS?”
We the family of Vespers say “WE WILL”
We appeal to anybody who feels an injustice occurred in this incidence to reply,
“I WILL”
The family will issue updates on the matter whenever necessary
We Thank You

This tayali thing needs to be answerable for falsely accusing someone who cannot defend herself
Whilst I sympathize with the family of a lost young life, you can’t seriously tell me this statement was not written by UPND “office of the President.” Reading the statement clearly gives away who the author is. But that is the problem with T0NGAS. They can’t see beyond tribe. This family knows HH killed their daughter but are still made to sign a ridiculous statement that they had no hand in writing!
@The real Olivia pope “ you seriously need deliverance. How can you sink so low??? I end here
This Olivia pope is a bemba theiving dirty protetute……
Tayali, please answer the father’s questions since you have become a PF spokesperson. Was his daughter was targeted? And why is it a crime for a person to belong to a political party whether opposition or not. Who is the parents to this Tayali, this child has manners and you really did a bad job.
Some of the uncivilized comments from PF members on this blogg extremely saddening. Vespers is still being attacked even in her death Why Why Why . Pretend to be human beings atleast. Does which party she belonged to matter at this time, I thought the critical issue for any civilized mind is to find the perpetrators of this injustice. We don’t kill people to solve issues PLEASE
UPND opposition in Zambia is not based on substance but on TRIBALISM.
UPND rants HAGAINST the government H-are not based on alternative views but are based on TRIBALISM and hatred for NON-TONGAS. That is why it cannot be elected. Right @# 1.3?
It’s time you behaved like a leader. Tayali are you are?
All those who felt sorry for tayali need medical examination at chainama.
So sad that politicking in Zambia is akin a headless chicken with all morality thrown to the wind! The stigma thats there being Tonga means alignment with UPND! Tayali has been for too long treated with kid gloves as he continues peddling lies with obvious backing from powers that be! Zambia is now a lost cause for the rule of law is no longer consequential! Vespers (MHSRIP) was a student period!
Ka Ch!ld M0lest1ng D0g T@yali’s death will be a painful one, & all the P.F crooks hes shielding will NOT be there to suffer his pain.
Remember Chimba lll, used by M.M.D, & discarded like an @rsewipe, only for the leader he was defending, to end up jumping in bed, & enjoying corrupt proceeds with P.F??
Vespers untimely death is very sad indeed, MHSRIEP. May the instigators, perpetrators of that violence face the wrath of God. The family deserves justice for Vespers.
BBut the statement by Vespers’ father or family reads like it was manufactured in the upnd secretariat in Rhodes park. With what we know about upnd and its objectives and strategic direction since 2006, Vespers death will be in vain will such.
Imwe ba Shimuzila, do you have to allow your daughters death to be used by upnd for unGodly ends? Do you really think that government planned the riots to kill your daughter specifically?
@upnd cadre; You really believe UPND are the only people in Zambia who can write sensible things? What kind of heartlessness is this?
This girl was a very beautiful TONGA.
Yes Tayali is an iiiddiiioottiii but he does not represent us Zambians, so spare us the regional connotations based on names.
When you read all this and you reflect and remember that she died in a place she thought was the safest to be at UNZA at time of confusion, you just shed tears even if you have no relationship with her!! So,so sad, let us hope these prayers and fasting are not mere rituals but genuine ones designed to help the nation heal and bring wisdom to leadership at all levels!
For us Zambians and civilised humans, Vespers was also our daughter, a future leader for developing
For us Zambians and civilised humans, Vespers was also our beloved daughter, a future leader for developing this nation for the good of ALL its citizens without discrimination based on creed, colour, race or TRIBE.
Let the culprits face the wrath of God, especially any trib.alists among them!! And so it shall be done!!
While you point a finger at the so called tribalistis, three are pointing at you
Five Ha pointing H-at HH.
What kind shameless low lifes would politicize another family’s ultimate loss? Be sensitive & humane don’t score political points from such a painful loss.
I keep saying that the re-birth of upnd in 2006 and under those circumstances of Sejani beating the trib.al drums was the saddest thing that ever happened to Zambia. They have not even apologised!!
The Namwala beating of innocent people just because they were not TONGA was the saddest day in the history of our peaceful nation.
#10 Enka, read the article again, with your God given brain this time.
As if you have a brain you uncouth human specimen with half a brain cell, do you have to politicise everything, the families lose you are busy joking about, have some manners,do you have to be a lowlife all the time talking sh!t.
I think you H-a missing the point.
Upnd cadre STFU enjoy eating our money while you can with your theiving, killing and dictatorship party. Don’t think we don’t know that your party is busy sponsoring and protecting this low life to accuse others just like you do. You guys never take responsibility for anything, you love pointing an accusing finger on everyone but yourself.
Did HH “eat our money?” Maybe that is why he can’t grow up.
The pf politicising some one they have killed. I hope tasila goes through the same. If anything I hope the same pf kaponyas take turns kumunyenga
input from a very childish grey haired old man who thinks talking about woman puts him on the throne
NEDCOZ was sold by HH.
NEDCOZ Inferiority Complex.
Its a shame the UPND under HH specializes in misfortune of others to advance their snail pace political progression.
I will NEVER forget how they rejoiced when SATA was sick and died.
A Tonga UPND SDA friend of mine sent me a photo depicting SATA naked and I’ll on a medical bed.
I was VERY disturbed and simply ignored the message.
What kind of a party is this?
UPND, OBVIOUSLY CAN NOT WIN AN ELECTION.
They can only win based on the misfortune of the PF and not on any strength.
Based on tribalism they have failed.
In 2021 all of us who have been called foreigners in our own country will teach them a painful lesson.
And that gave you a license to hate the entire tribe including the unborn child? THUG LIFE=The Hate U Give Infants Fxck Everybody.
*Little
“…I will NEVER forget how they rejoiced when SATA was sick and died…”
Dora siliya and lusambo were some of them, where are they now ????
They have not even said a word of condolences on BEN KANGWA because BEN is NOT TONGA. Now you know how these minds operate. While this story is a sad one, UPND tribal HAGENDA makes them fail to think outside the tribal grouping of theirs.
To my Fathers, Mothers , Brothers and Sisters: Reality has to be found in this country. This person called Tayali need deliverance and all those close to him please talk to him and tell him that GOD loves him. PF also requires God’s intervention in peoples lives. (however not all in PF are bad just as not all UPND are bad people). Why is it that each time a Tonga related person is killed by the police in what ever circumstance you ran to say is or was a UPND. God is watching what ever you people say. Remember God is above and you are below here on earth. 2 Timothy 2 v 15 – 16 says: Always try to be the kind of a person that God is happy about. ……….. v16 But stay away from people who talk about silly, wrong things. Those things do not help any one and do not come from God::::Imwe…
During my late president of the upnd Mr. Mazoka r.i.p there was no such deaths & violence we are witness now during h.h era, why? that’s my big question . h.h has no heart for us fellow Zambians what he wants is power power for himself, kwamana!!!
During that time mmd was in power,maybe those in power now have become irresponsible due to power.
Fear GOD as you utter any words. Everyone shall be judged by what you say or do….Do not be condemned by holding to others sin. Lungu and HH will never redeem you….
Vespers died and no man must rejoice in her death. Never accuse people or anyone of her death….
one day GOD will judge the perpetrators of evil….
Which side will you be?
TO THE FAMILY OF VESPERS: AVOID FURTHER INJURY BY KEEPING QUIET.DO NOT COMMENT ANY FURTHER.
Condolences on the lose of Vespers but do not disassociate her from upnd because its not a secret that ALL TONGAS ARE UPND…….even those yet to be born are all initiated into Tonga tribalism whilst they are still in their mother’s wombs. Tayali may be just an alarmist but he certainly has a point.
@20 Hitler during his rein decreed the extermination of all Jews as they were the cause of the economic problems Germany was facing. In his decree he stated that ALL JEWS (Men, women, children and even the unborn) were bad people and should be wiped from the face of the earth. Did he succeed? What happened to the unborn Jews? Who runs the world now?
mwata shadreck be sober….. do you go to church? have decency…….please… Don’t love Lungu more than GOD
I beg to differ and try to be objective. much as I sympathise with the family of the late Vespers, I write as a parent that not all activities our children are involved in come to the attaention of the parents, especially grown up children. At that age Vespers could chat her political path with or without consulting her parent but using peer pressure at UNZA.
Okay let us assume that Vespers was a UPND agent, did she deserve to be killed in cold blood?
The answer is no. Did vesper suffer from Asthma, the answer again is no. So why did the police kill vesper in cold blood? This is the question that begs for answers. If vesper was killed today, how many more Children are at risk under such police brutality. Zambians we need to say no to Police brutality first by bringing to book the culprits and then such a thing should never happen again.
As for Tayali, he is not a factor because those who live by the sword will die by the sword. I think his time is right now. His poison is now poisoning him now.
Weather Vespers was a UPND member or not, this young lady did not deserve to be killed this way. I am a neutral myself but I know that Tayali has been paid to do dirty work for some people, this is not acceptable. Can we please have some sanity and sensitivity, parents have lost a daughter and heartless people like Tayali are still pouring scorn on the family. Tayali, what if it was your daughter who was killed cruelly like that, how would you feel.
People who kill will also be killed in the same way.There is no justification,whatsoever,to kill a person because he or she belongs to a certain party.Where is the respect for our constitution which states that any one is supposed to belong to party of his or her choice.
A prominent journalist,Jamal Kashoog,was butchered like an animal just because of having divergent view.Those who kill by a sword will also be killed by a sword.It is pointless killing people because they hold a view which is contrary to yours.It is only people who are scared of their own shadows who will behave in such a sadistic manner.People should not kill others because of differences in tribe,religion or colour.It is very retrogressive and backwardness of the worst kind.
So sad for some simple minded thugs to bring in tribe in all this. Assuming Vespers belonged to any party of her choice, her life should not have been tragically terminated like that. Are some of you so dull to understand that this is criminal. I am a Tumbuka myself from Lundazi and I don’t see anything wrong with somebody being Tonga. Try to be civilized please, primitivity wont take you anywhere
For Gods sake, this is a multiparty dispensation. We know that fo0lishIness is acquired free of charge but does it surely benefit anyone to start accusing a dead person of which party she belonged to. The world moved from stone age politics a long time ago, elo utupuba like Tayali will just bring problems in this country. I will remain PF
Even if she was a member of UPND, that is the right she had. Who told these fools that we must all belong to PF. People died for multi party system in Zambia….so no foolish person can change that!
I can not believe that Zambia has sunk so low….this country has truly gone to the DOGs!
Blood thirsty PF. Just wondering how many more children they will kill next. I told you people these PF are satanists. You kept quiet. Now you see its clear that the girl was targetted so that they can blame innocent people like HH. Ka tayatayaAmafi is just a waste of space and he needs to be carried by his bolls I tell you.
I feel the pain over the lose of that girl. She was a lovely girl and he death is on the hands of PF no matter how they will wash their hands with jik or whatever.
Disaster PF. Mwabafinkala!!!! baPF!!! Your bolls are numbered.
@rudemonk
Take it easy man, yes its painful to lose a life unexpectedly but you ought to be fair, its NOT PF that went to UNZA to incite students but HH, so he is the cause. And what you should remember is is this you aint the first or last students, many have been there and life goes on! So if you dont understand the purpose of going to University, you will always find someone to blame but for your own info, nobody cares especially when you start engaging yourself in illicit activities. HH and UPND have a born to chew with everyone and so they will do anything to bring you into their confusion. Zambians have REJECTED HH and nothing will change this position, so be careful with him.
Its very clear who the authors of this article are, definitely not the father of the deceased. We all certainly know that the death of this young girl is irreplaceable but the question that begs to answer is, how did the father know that their late child was not a UPND agent since she was not living with them at the time of her untimely death? My advise to parents is this, its your responsibility to nature your children more so when they see to be independent. There so many illicit stuff that take place at Higher institutions of learning and its naive for anyone for that matter to defend that she was coerced to a UPND member. Can the same “parents” say that she didnt have a boyfriend at the time of her death?
Whats expected in this article is that the author should have strongly…
Contd
Whats expected in this article is that the author should have strongly condemned the people (HH and UPND) who went to UNZA`to incite innocent students to riot. Hadnt that taken place, this death could have been avoided! So lets be critical in our thinking and heap the blame on the course and NOT the effect, HH is a DESPERATE man and doesnt care what happens to your lives anyway.
@Malinso I wish you’re speaking to people who are objective on issues. I have seen how certain people act even without assessing or analyzing. To start with the poor girl was not slain, she was just unfortunate to be in a room full of toxic gases and unfortunately we’re told she was asthmatic. …did ZP have information that Vesper had asthma? It’s unfortunate that in the thirty quest to go to State House Upnd are ready to sacrifice other people’s children while theirs are at some posh university in the UK.
Is it illegal to be Tonga now that PF is in power?
You seem to have a problem. Your tribe its thirsty quest to produce a president has actually amplified the thing you call tribalism. I’m afraid that if you don’t naturilize your approach it will be impossible to produce a president. Cosmetic efforts such as installing things like GBM as running mate to HH will not be enough. You need to “naturally ” incorporate free and happy Zambians in your party hierarchy. Not bitter people who only want vengeance against Lungu. Don’t accuse other people of tribalism. Check your heart. ..like are free from hatred against certain tribes?
As if it matters.
Meant to say Tayali doesn’t matter.
Mukongo wako
Not all Tongas are SDA please. A lot are non partisan, but in Zambia these days if you are Tonga you have limited opportunities, not only is it hard to get get jobs in the army, police, nursing or civil servies, when you in a position of power they retire you in national interest.
Never has Zambia witnessed such bitter hatred before until the coming of HH on the political arena
HH wants early elections hence his inciting of various groups. Chipenis chakkwe.
‘I WILL’ speak for Vesper. But when they come for some of the PF sycophants and schizophrenia elements on this forum, there will be no one to speak for them. Is it a wonder that this country is going no where and it is where it is when we have people who cannot objectively condemn injustice – but sit in their ‘comfort zones’ (for now) while they enjoy the crumbs being thrown to them and thus choose to utter inhumane diatribes and defend the indefensible.
If you have failed or refused to reason, even for once, please do not drag others into your garbage heap – do the needful, crawl back into the cesspools that you emerged from.
Human life injustices are being committed, a child has died , a family is in mourning and all some of you are fixated on is the useless tribal issue !! Can you not for once empathize and have compassion in your heart of hearts and let the family grieve in piece?
When white people show racism towards black people , we lift the race card but we are busy oppressing ourselves through primitive tribalism. Can some of you please stick to the contents of the article above and respond responsibly ? This is about a young girl who died and a family in grief, its not a political debate !!
Enough upnd trib.al noise, next topic please.
THAT A YOUNG LIFE WAS LOST IS VERY SAD AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED. HOWEVER, BY WRITING ON SOCIAL MEDIA, THE WRITER IS ATTRACTING A LOT OF QUESTIONS. FIRST OF ALL, WHY DOES HE WANT TO DRAW THIS POLITICAL ATTENTION? I THOUGHT HE SHOULD CONCENTRATE ON MOURNING THE DAUGHTER? THE TONE IS VERY POLITICALLY ANTI-GOVERNMENT, IS HE AN OPPOSITION CADRE? AND WE CANNOT RUN AWAY FROM THE TRIBAL TAG ASSOCIATED WITH HH, UPND AND SDA. THIS ALL ARTICLE REEKS OF UPND AND EVERY RATE.
Akainde said she died from suffocation being an asthma patient. Parents say she was not asmatic and postmoterm report indicate that she had serious injuries. Tayali is right here shonongo must explain.
