  1. Weight bridge in Chongwe? Did they mean to say toll gate? All the same, condolences to the family on this sudden loss of a loved one.

  2. Zambians must learn that………..

    Just because the cars speedo meter has a 200km mark on it , does not mean you have to travel at that speed……

    Too much fast driving in zambia……..

  3. I saw a photo of this man’s body in the mangled vehicle in some WhatsApp Group I am disgusted that people take photos to post on social media.
