Lions terrorise Shangombo

Share

About six lions have killed five herds of cattle in Malombe village in Shangombo district.

The development was disclosed by Sioma Ward Councillor, Alex Liatamanyi, in a telephone interview with ZANIS in Mongu today.

Councillor Liatamanyi has since appealed to Zambia Wildlife Authority (ZAWA) to send scouts to the area to hunt down the notorious lions.

He said that villagers have stopped going to their fields in fear of the lions.

Malombe village, in Sioma ward, is part of the Sioma-Ngwezi National Park.

Meanwhile a 33 year old man of Kaombwe village in Nakonde district of Northern Province has been shot dead after he was accused of having stolen a cow.

Northern province Police Commanding Officer, Charles Lungu, confirmed the incident in Nakonde.

Mr. Lungu identified the deceased as Chambila Simfukwe of Kaombwe village in chief Kafwimbi’s area.

He explained that Simfukwe was shot in both legs after he was found in a nearby bush trying to hide a cow he had allegedly stolen from Kaombwe village.

Simfukwe died later in the hospital.

The police chief said three people have since been arrested in connection with the killing of Simfukwe while five others are still on the run.

He said police have since launched a manhunt for the five people on the run.

  1. In Germany they have “Pferdeflüsterer”. These are people who are trained to talk to horses. Whenever the horses get out of control, these Pferdeflüsterer go to horses to calm them down.
    I am just wondering if the same can work out with lions. In that case, we need to train “Löwenflüsterer” in Zambia to deal with such cases.

  2. Only Lions are allowed to eat Cows for free!! :)>-

    Not Zambians!!!! You will be killed if you are found stealing a Cow!! =))=))

    Why did they soot him? Was he going to hide the Cow ku Bedroom Sure?=))=))

  3. ZAWA should crop these beasts before its too late. why are our authorities reactive rather than proactive.Shame!!

  4. But why reside within the game park? These people must be poachers and should quickly be ‘deported’ from that area.

    There was a thread yesterday about being disrepected in your own country!! Wesly mentioned a dog who had a front seat in the Car while the Blacks had to seat at the back!!!

    The dogs name is “Fluffy” !!

    Baby C supports Fluffy as well!! :d

  6. Jamaco, I have to hit the road now. Wont be back until late this evening, have fun & greet Baby C, Ba Moze, Matworld, Chewe, Ba Maureen & the others for me.

    Please don’t forget to greet Maestro too! And tell him no more long posts here, otherwise we shall send him to Shangombo to be fed upon by those Lions!:-j:-j

  7. Shangombo….isnt this the place where the last votes came from. The lions are reacting. They’re annoyed because they have not seen any change up to now. Its just a warning. Next they’ll move closer to the huts. Six lions can wipe out the whole clan, mind you.

  8. Let me get this straight.Six lions chawed five herds of cattle?.How many cows did each of the five herds have?.And in a space of how long were they eaten?.

  9. Given up. am around ba Jamaco. Pity the lions shud have eaten all the characters there since they are the ones who tilted the votes against Sata. any way, in 2011, the elections results centre would be in Shangombo!!

    No need to be Upset !! I am giving you the chance to day just stay alert :-b

    31. your flag Lady chiza’s legs

    That is where they should build an Open Air Prison for some Offenders!!! Especially those Sex offenders!!

    :d

  11. Shangombo rejected Sata. But a society that rejects good women and men must prepare to feed on dead cats and dogs in the mid of plenty. That is until the day salvation arrives through a goddess out of a machine, a deus ex machina, as the scholars would say. Until then, I must most painfully wish all of us a bon appetite with our assorted wild leaves, our cats and dogs under RB b-)

  12. this is when ZAWA needs to step in. look at Mosi-O-Tunya national park in L/stone, the tourist capital. i was suprised to learn that there have been no lions for ages. why not tame them there instead of letting them eat people’s cattle! next it will be the people themselves!

    and Mr Councillor, the lions are not being notorious, they are just being lions…

  13. Beyond stench and pus, rot cannot support anything. And rot cannot be treated, it cannot be cured. The only way to deal with rotting tissue is to cut it off the living body. How about cutting off Shangombo and give it to Angola since they disappointed us in the last erections!

    The LIONS have the right to feed as long as the cattle, people and game are available :d

  21. ZAWA please capture the Six Lions and send them to Liuwa where the African Parks Foundation wants to reintroduce lions. There is enough food for lions in Liuwa…. about 55 000 blue wilderbeest and growing, 8000 upper Zambezi zebra and another 5000 Lechwe plus a growing number of different antelopes. But since the Zambian wildlife services is the most backward in south and eastern Africa I expect to hear that the lions have been shot!

  22. Ba Chiza !!!

    One of the Postings from Relax reads

    “Ours is a sad world, the contradictions are so many and the victims so innocent. Just here, many would support porno but at the same time sympathise with victims!! very sad indeed.”

  30. Greetings to you all.This is former jelita,now Maria K.To all Zambians around here,take note that on 14th of this month some one is coming from the Embassy of Zambia Germany to conduct Consular clinics in order to allow Zambians to submit their application forms.If you dont have forms yet,contact me at [email protected]
    Please tel others who may not be aware of the development
    especialy the Lungus,Zulus Bandas,Tembos,Phiris,Mwales,Mbewes im sure they were sleeping.I know the Mutales,Mulengas,Mwambas got the information.Stay blessed **==

  31. This is the most weird blog on the net. Are Zambians this intellectually handicapped. What has marauding lions have anything to do with most of the stink being written about?

  32. “About six lions have killed five herds of cattle in Malombe village in Shangombo district.”

    What was the number of cattle in each one of the five herds of cattle?

    Sorry to the owners who lost those animals.

    Akaka nobasimfulumende, amubajaye olo kubatola kumbi bashumbwa aabo.

  33. ZAWA please do something and save my village, we have co habited well with the animals till you came to diturb them, can you see the mess you have caused?

  34. United States of America President Barrack Obama has written to United Party for National Development-UPND-Leader Hakainde Hichilema urging African leaders to unite in a spirit of peace.
    UPND Leader Hakainde Hichilema confirmed the development to MUVI TV News today.

    Check MUVI TV Site for more details. Infact this ‘letter’ was sent as part of mail merge to all losers including ba tata ba McCain and Dan Pule

    Ichikwela aba Tonga !

    Why not write President RB Banda of Zambia whom I believe wrote a congrats message to US President Obama about such an important message to the African people?
    Does this imply that president HH is more of a unifying factor to Zambians and Africans than President RB Banda?
    Is it that US President Obama believes that younger HH, 46 yrs, is better placed to do this task?

  36. But I thought stealing is an idolized “kacha” in that part of the country? Even so, they could have let him off because they are the ones who claim “stealing by mistake” when its one of them looting state coffers. Now they know how we feel about Chiluba stealing from us so they should not be suprised when we also shoot him in the legs and leave him for dead for plundering our lovely country.

  37. ZAWA must do something to serve the wealth of the people of Shangombo. If there is too much delay the animals will start feasting on human beings.
