  1. The writer is terrible! No coherence. Employ talented journalists instead of “who you know”.

  2. It appears guns in Kalumbila are in wrong hands. Has Kalumbila not experienced three shooting incidents this year that tragically have cost 3 lives? Kalumbila District is now brandishing guns as it is part of that country with a gun culture problem. There is need to sweep that area and have individuals with unregistered firearms picked up by police.

  3. I would like to correct the information. Queen Kakeza was from the Royal family of Senior Chief Museli. As a Royal family she was residing within the palace known as Museli village and that’s where she was shot dead from. Something should be done to save lives in the chiefdom as there’s too much shootings. People are being killed like chickens
