The family of the alleged missing girl, whose other members of the family were brutally murdered by unknown people in Mufulira in October this year, have accused government of being aware of the whereabouts of the girl.
The family members, who stormed the office of the District commissioner, Dyford Muulwa, yesterday claimed that the girl is being kept at a government hospital where she has been receiving treatment.
Mr Muulwa said the family members are demanding release of the girl since she is still alive.
The family lead by the missing girl’s father, a Mr Chisenga, said according to the programme aired on Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC) Bemba radio programme, “Ilyashi Lya pano isonde” which was broadcast on Wednesday October 21,2009 by George Mubanga, government knows where the girl is.
They said since ZNBC is a national broadcaster and the presenter said the girl is alive at a named government hospital and was receiving treatment, this was evidence enough that the whereabouts of the 14-year-old girl is known.
They claimed that Mr Mubanga also mentioned during the program that he knew where the girl is hospitalized.
The named girl has been missing after her mother, a baby and a brother, were brutally murdered by unknown people.
Police have arrested two suspects in connection with murder and have since appeared in court.

“Ilyashi Lya pano isonde”
I seriously thougt people dont take the stories on this station seiously
Creepy and insensitive –
The family should talk to the broadcaster, George Mubanga, so that he can disclose the information. Otherwise George Mubanga has a way of dramatizing that show. Apparently, it stems from one semester of Investigative Journalism that he did in the US.
Do these people have proof that the government is harbouring the girl? Anyhow, the story makes sad reading – why so much sensless killings?
This story really makes sad reading. But why would the government keep the girl in secret?
Also, George Mubanga and his Ilyashi Lya Pano Isonde is stillaround? I’d love to listen to that. I loved the way he used to dramatise issues!!
Maybe she is in Government protective programme.
Let her be treated fully before she is realised to the Family. Actually she is being Protected first
then why dont they go to the named hospital….ala
Hello,
Mwe bena Milambo, this surely looks like a picture from Mafukeni. But which angle was it taken from. Te pa Jumbo apa? Its been long so picture yandabwisha aini………………………….maybe the print was twisted.
Sounds like something from “the Spy who loved me”! How old is the girl? Ati Fourteen? Something is not right. I agree. This is a witness protection program. The only difference is that people know where the witness is being kept. yangu!
Imwe a Prophetess, stop attacking George. Do you know what George was studying in USA? George might have some information which can not be revealed to the public..
the story makes sad reading, then about George Mubanga, i think everybody knows that he dramatises the show, i wonder why he isnt presenting the programme lately
