  1. #6 What difference will it make. Both Doom (insect killer) or Boom (detergent) will easily kill you is taken in in suffcient quantities. I take it you left Zambia long before BOOM was introduced!!!

  2. This tribe. And they want to give us a leader. This tribe is full of bad behaviour. That is why we should be given the power to rule so that we can help this tribe where orignates. Viva upnd

  3. Ni maloza aya. #6 Though Boom, if swallowed in large quantitiez can be harmful, I suspect LT in this case probably meant Boam, the pesticide.

  4. #11 NDAJATA NGO’MBE –

    what is wrong with you? you can’t discuss anything without bringing in tribe!! It is boring… and it is a mark of dullness. spare us the bore and keep your thoughts to yourself. I’m not against your party, I just don’t feel it is proper to keep subjecting people to tribal talk. we all know your party is tribal, so I’m not surprised but please don’t rub it in! it is sickening that such a sad story is being debased by trash like what you have just done… your name should be: Ndajata matuvi !!

  5. Whats happening with Copperbelt folks,with the current Copper prices certainly somebody gato think outside the box.

  6. ALL THOSE GUYS COMMENTING ON THE FACT THAT THE GUY USED BOOM… Do you think thise story might work against the company that makes boom, with competitors claiming it is poisonous and can kill your child?? Or did we know about this anyway???

  7. I thought detergent was not supposed to be dangerous. If you ingest any all you do is pass suds and bubbles when you go to the bathroom.

    The man must have taken something else.

  8. # 11 Ndajata ng’ombe

    It seems your thinking has been messed up by your tribalism.There are good and nasty people in every tribe. Also, you do not know what the man’s mental state was when he commited these unspeakable acts. Try to get down from your tribal horse for once.

  9. I agree with #11. These mbuyas of mine are mad upstairs. They should never be allowed near a leadership position again. Not even as class monitors

  10. All this is bcoz of povert related issus….mmd has caused unnecessary deaths in this country has a result of poor management of the econo0my

  11. Gentlemen, I need to be educated here I do not understand the FAZ constitution and the administration of football in Zambia. Why can’t the so called Andrew Kamanga and Simataa Simataa wait for their turn next year if they have the interest of developing football in the country?

  12. money is not happiness,havent you heard rich people commiting suicide?i dont think its poverty as others are saying its all the works of the devil.if you have no jesus in your life then your anger can lead to any thing evil.i even wonder why a man beats the wife when they do wrong why cant just talk without fighting ha am scared to get married.

  13. #s 7 and 24 Your are very correct. If Sata is elected this year, there will never be domestic dischords of any kind and no one in Zambia will be murdered as long as he is the president. RB is too blame for this domestic situation. In fact I believe RB must have personally hypnotised this guy, caused him to have a fight with his wife, follow her to her mother’s home, murder his wife, injure his pongozi and commit murder. In fact it is RB that caused the detergent company to use the ingredients in their product that can cause death. RB should be charged with the death of the couple and grievous bodily harm to the old lady . In fact RB should resign today for what he did to these people – my foot. Reasoning ya ma Zambians linangu ima dabwisa mwe! Nangu nikuzonda munthu.

    I second you! RB is evil.All the misfortunes that befall the people are caused by him.Even he is elected out and Sata brings his Satanomics,even GBM will never ever touch is wife,let alone batter her,Mushili will have no reason to swindle govt,Nsanda wont have to divorce a string of wives and the list is endless.RB is the cause of all this.Viva Sata!! at least all the problems will disappear…Utopia!!

  15. Lets promote gaysim, no man can hack another man and viceversa for lesbians, pipo have equal strength, RB encourages marriages between opposite sex its wrong, too much AIDS , MURDER dishonest in relationships the list is endless VIVA SATA and catholic fathers who dont marry

  16. thats the way forwad if yo wifes ****s up and u think u cant take it anymo,just slaughter her then hung yoself,that way u both win and lose

  17. too bad,but if she ****ed somebody else then its fine fo the hubby to kill her and kill himself that way justice is done

  18. Even the bible says, “of all problems, none are as severe as the problems women cause…” So I’m not saying its right, but I understand! These women can drive u to hell if ur weak. There must have been serious beef, to axe even the bapongoshi! yaba, even the devil will be worried for his safety in hell, i mean if the nigga can axe a 70yr old woman!

  19. #16. Ne pa Zed. 90 percent of people don’t read the paper every day and this story online just check the flags on the comments and see how many people in Zambia are reading.It would not affect the sales of the said product. Western world it is pure damage publicty for the product ! Life goes on !!

  20. :-? this is not good,there are too many cases of this nature,can it be hunger as someone has put and blaming RB we are all broke but we are not killing anyone.its just the evil spirit taking charge of pipo’s minds.and wat killed him boom,not at all,maybe he mixed wat he took with boom,to make a strong combination

  21. banamayo are a nuisance especially if the man is not even working and may not be satsifying the lady financially, here comes …… is it pastor ULULI of the catholic church, and she will fall for him.Also wat determines a succesiful marriage is the way you got married. Anyway if you fail to reason with such ladies just devorce them so that they are ****ed elsewhere for the sake of money, you will be spared of AIDS, dont vent your anger on old ladies like this hopeless guy did,i have spoken so hear.

  22. But guy nikuchipisha chabe chi mpopo… i ****ing divorced mine and rite now i have noticed plenty nice ones out there, the ones i couldnt see when i was with ija mpopo…so if you kill you miss out bro!

  23. This tribe is really pathetic in terms of treating women, for them beating a woman is a sign of love, e.g a man killed his wife in Kasama over Kapenta, Chitika Killed Maketo Mabenga’s daughter over a dispute, now this Chomba etc, Bembas are so bad, no wonder they are not suppose to get close to power because all women will finish dying. No sata, no Sata.

  24. I think Tongas and Lozis on this site realy hold US Bembas in high esteem.What has this story got to do with a tribe?Are you just confirming to us that we are a special people pa Zed.Anyway even your current crop of ministers have accepted that you will never rule Zambia so Viva Sata and RB.
