PF Presidential Aspirant Makebi Zulu in Road Accident

PF Presidential Aspirant Makebi Zulu and Two Officials Hospitalised After Road Accident Near Kasama

Patriotic Front presidential aspirant Makebi Zulu has been involved in a road accident on the Mpika–Kasama Road as he travelled to attend the funeral of Kasama Mayor Theresa Kolala Khumalo. The accident occurred roughly 25 to 30 kilometres before Kasama, according to information released by party officials.

Mr Zulu was travelling with former Minister of Mines Richard Musukwa and former Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit National Coordinator Chanda Kabwe. The vehicle in which they were travelling overturned after the driver attempted to avoid a cyclist who rode across the road. The impact caused the vehicle to lose control, resulting in the accident that left all three occupants requiring medical attention.

Emergency responders transported the trio to Kasama General Hospital, where medical staff began conducting tests to assess possible injuries. Initial indications suggest the three were stable at the time they were received at the hospital.

Meanwhile, Patriotic Front Acting President Given Lubinda has visited the injured officials at Kasama General Hospital. He told journalists that the three remained under observation as medical personnel carried out diagnostic procedures to rule out any complications. “I am here at the hospital. They are undergoing tests and x-ray just to rule out anything. They are also waiting to see a doctor after the test results,” he said.

Mr Lubinda confirmed that Mr Zulu, Mr Musukwa and Mr Kabwe were travelling to Kasama to attend the funeral and burial of Ms Kolala, a member of the party’s Central Committee who died last week. Several senior PF members were expected to travel to Kasama for the funeral proceedings.

The accident adds to what has already been a difficult period for the party following the death of Ms Kolala, who had served as Kasama Mayor and was widely regarded within PF structures. Details released earlier in the day had indicated that Mr Zulu was en route to the funeral when the vehicle overturned, prompting speculation about his condition until hospital confirmation was issued.

Medical personnel at Kasama General Hospital are expected to release further updates once all required examinations have been completed. Party officials at the hospital said they were awaiting full medical reports before determining whether any of the three would require referral to another facility.

  1. Zambian roads are very dangerous……….

    Because of speed, even in areas of population density, people want to hit 60km/h ????

    Madness

    FED2041

  2. Please put ECL to rest otherwise you’ll be haunted forever. These are bad omens, you can never abandon a human being in a morgue and then pretend all is well. What kind of human beings are you people? This is totally unacceptable, put aside your so called nonsense demands and do the right thing. You’re all a bunch of devils, no wonder you cheated death. I hope this is a wake up call, Lungu isn’t happy at all and you’ll be haunted in whatever you’re doing.

  3. Speed was a factor, you don’t roll or loose control of a car at 60 km or 80km . Too many Zambians under PF got their licence under a tree, no written or road tests.

  4. Thank God the man is no longer in danger. It will hurt many people to bury Makebi Zulu before the former President Edgar Lungu. Looking at the pictures of the mangled vehicle, speed was definitely a factor in this accident.

  5. The dead man’s spirit has started searching. This is only the beginning. People may not even be sleeping at night. Play your politics well and clean. Leave the dead where the belong. Innocent souls will be affected by individual selfishness. Wanya ewe, the signs have started showing.

  6. Masalamusi Zulu must be careful, he will be buried before Lungu who died months ago, and he is keeping in a morgue in Pretoria. But is it true that Lungu’s decomposed corpse is missing from the original Parlor after Thom Kight and Company Funeral Malukulas collected it for body parts? A Lungu sure bu mambala number 1, the man tried tricks even when dying only to end up remaining unburied almost a year after he died.

  7. You all UPND cadres, are so heartless. How many people have died and imprisoned since Hakainde Hichilema took office? Lawyer Tutwa Ngulube, FDD president Edith Nawakwi, former sixth republican, Dr Edgar Chagwa Lungu, Chishimba Kambwili’s two brother and those in prison on tramped up charges in Chilangwa, Chitotela, Lunsambo and recently released Kambwili himself and GBM, Always remember governments come and go, but the people still remains. What goes around, comes around, Praying for Makebi, Musukwa and Kabwe
