A Zambian national living in South Africa has died after falling from the sixth floor of a flat in Sunningdale area – Pretoria in unclear circumstances.
And the South African Police are investigating the circumstances that led to Mr. Dickson Mailoni Kakoma’s fall from the sixth floor.
Zambia’s High Commissioner to South Africa, Emmanue Mwamba has confirmed to ZNBC news in a statement that Mr. Kakoma died in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Mr. Mwamba said it is believed he was pushed from the 6th floor from a flat.
He explained that information gathered so far shows that after a night drinking with his friends, Mr. Kakoma decided to visit his girlfriend, also a Zambian national at the said flat in the early hours of Sunday.
Mr. Mwamba said the girlfriend has given a police report that she was not at home and was working in a night shift, when the tragic incident happened at her place.
The funeral is being held in Pretoria and details regarding repatriation of Mr. Kakoma’s remains to Livingstone, will be released later.

Very sad. Please quickly establish the circumstances that lead to his death.
Sad news.
Alcohol is destroying so many lives and families in this world.
Maybe Lungu should make a statement urging citizens to either abstain, or reduce intake of alcohol.
A sober nation is a healthy nation.
I really feel sorry for Emmanuel Mwamba. The guy has never had peace like Frank Bwalya.
Just too many funerals at his embassy.
VODAFONE MUST GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !
Nothing to investigate here. The man was drunk and tried to break into his girlfriend’s apartment but fell to his death. Drink responsibly people.
South Africa has the xenophobia that is parallel to UPND. Be careful when there.
Maybe I should have said “ONLY comparable to UPND!” And it is tulu.
“Pushed from the room,” HH worshipers, that is very clear.
Chaipa, was he related to the famous brothers?
infamous?
This is really sad, condolences to the family
@ No 3 Bululu – abo bene!

Comment: That man is related to me we are saddened as family and yet a fellow Zambian By the Name of (Mumbi Phiri) he/she is commenting usless things he’s not even sure what led him to fall. You are a human being my dear as well
Most Africans are not respected at all in this country. I am not simple minded and, I will never participate in deadly activities whereby innocent lives are sacrificed on the basis of being different from my appearance.
I know that many Africans who are none South Africans are innovative hard-workers and, they also perform very well at several South African universities. I am saddened by the above news. Hopefully, the late victim of such a senseless murderous act will be the last one. Zambians are very friendly people. Any reasonable person can exclusively recognise and truly appreciate Zambians for their unmatched hospitality, after visiting innumerable countries on all five continents. Zambia is the best country which I have ever visited in my entire natural life. Zambian best assets…
It’s sad to see the way the fellow had died just because of taking excessive beer… Too bad anyway
My condolences.whatevever the circumstances. There are so many ways to die. We all have to die. People have died differently .
Don’t be judgmental. Let the investigations continue. People should not comment about issue they are not sure about. Lets be civil.
