Too sad indeed, and please mwebalondo besabi give fish a break, likuleko napapata. I once lived in Chitambo at a place called kwana taupwa – Nalubi. And just 3 months ago some fishermen drowned because of not observing the weather. Please relatives mourn in peace.

Of late we hav been hearing alot of stories concerning drowning. The gov’t shud put measures to ensure that we hav a reduction in such cases. One of which is to provide safer boats atleast in strategic places.
