Zambian Musician Albert Silwimba, 37, popularly known as Alubusu, died on the spot in an accident which happened on Mongu – Kalabo road.
The accident happened between 23 00 hours yesterday and today 03 00 hours at Miulwe area 35 kilometers from Mongu Town.
He was driving a motor vehicle BMW registration number ALE 8235 Silver in color.
The deceased was found trapped in the wreckage of the vehicle and officers with the help of members of the public used axes to break the metal to retrieve the body.
The accident happened due to excessive speed when the driver lost control of the motor vehicle after failing to negotiate a curve and careered off the road and overturned 100 meters from the tarmac road after hitting into several trees in the bush resting on one big tree which also fell.
The body is lying in Lewanika General Hospital mortuary.
He will remembered for his contribution to Zambian music and his hit songs such as “Bwela Panyumba”
May his soul rest in peace.
Sad news indeed. However it is strange that the story is so conclusive that the cause of the accident was over-speeding when there seems to have been no one around to witness the accident. I assume this as the time for accident is said to have happened btwn 23hrs and 3am.
RIP.
Not strange coz on radio news, the were saying “£police have confirmed having found the the car 100m away from were he failled to negotiate the curve, cutting down the shrubs even the last tree which the vehicle hit into”
No the reporter makes it look like he was a witness. That is not the way you report. You leave room for doubt ala! You never say:
The accident happened due to excessive speed when the driver lost control of the motor vehicle after failing to negotiate a curve and careered off the road and overturned 100 meters from the tarmac road after hitting into several trees in the bush resting on one big tree which also fell.
You say The accident MAY have been due to…..
mhsrip.. he was the gigantic in the song bwela pa nyumba. you will be greatly missed.
ba LT study relative clauses ” Zambian Musician Albert Silwimba, 37, popularly known as Alubusu who died on the spot in an accident which happened on Mongu – Kalabo road”
what kind of english is this? start writting in chichewa or tumbuka
Never try to remove a stick in someelse’s eye when there is a log in yours. Check your spelling for “writing”. May Alubuso rest in peace. I will miss him.
Nothing wrong in writing in Chichewa or tumbuka but you still have to be good at those languages
The Speedometer and the skidmarks tell you how fast the car was.
Speedometer and skid marks don’t tell but indicates……because the two don’t have mouth to use for speaking.
kekeke!!! MPO naiwe, yo are a tru pf cader who doesnt reason. just like from postmoterm, pathologists are able to tell cause of death. To follow your line of thinking, a dead body doesnt talk, but it shows the signs that doctors use to come up with a diagnosis. So in this case the wreaked car had all the signs to show that the driver was overspeeding before the accident.
ba mpho naimwe tamukwete data
How?
#2 I agree with you these LT Journos need to go back
to school…..very poor sentence constructing .This whole article still needs to be edited
Were there traffic signs to indicate the sharp corner?
If NOT, the cause may well be lack of adequate signs as the speed he may have been moving at was probably ok for a straight line drive….
Too bad.This guy had a very unique Zamragga voice.Better than even ba Dandy crazy and Petersen.
the Good die young,
R.I.P
@Mpho. “Genius” tell is a synonym for indicate, look it up. R.I.P Alubusu.
It’s very sad for the family to lose a son, father, uncle etc at such a young age but am sorry if you drive like a mad person you surely deserve to die. Yes accidents happen but those due to rreckless driving, ichamba or alcohol intoxication are unacceptable and i got no sympathies for such. Please you who drive behave yourselves our roads are not built for testing our fast our cars can run. MHSRIP.
May His Soul Rest In Peace Of Good Lord, So sorry for the music industry
its sad very sad
its said the good die young
Very sad loss. He had a good voice and his music here was certainly better than the rapping that we have been subjected too. Did he make make peace with his creator?
I think the writer was mourning (crying) while writing, he just came up with all kind of imaginations!! The truth is that Alubusu died for sure.
My condolences, but whoever wrote this piece sucks because your grammar is BAAAAAAAD! Dude, you should go back to scool and learn how to construct sentences.
I agree, the govt needs to censor some of these news sites. Can you imagine people around the world reading this sloppy reporting? Who owns LT anyway? These chaps need to step up and stop embarrassing themselves and the country.
You guys! we are supposed to be mourning but you making me laugh so baad! I like the idea of the govt banning websites because of poor grammar
too bad what a loss to the music industry coz we were yet to get more from him .
Speed kills! when are these youngsters going to learn, BMW found 100m from the tarmac this fella was doing 200km/hr on a road he isn’t familiar with.
What was this chap doing in Kalabo of all places. Hope not following diamond in Angola. Remember another musician was in copper scandal on the copperbelt. music is not sustaining our artists?
Just saw the pictures of the wreckage on Muvi website!!
you have left your kids fatherless…how can you over speed in the road you are not familiar with…tekanyeni guys.may your soul rest in peace.am shocked
The accident happened between 23 00 hours yesterday and today 03 00 hours at Miulwe area 35 kilometers from Mongu Town.cant understand this
And LT point of correction, there is no such thing as Mongu – Kalabo road. It doesnt exist.
@ notorious. Are you that dull???????
RIP Alubusu
Sad news indeed! May the Lord strengthen the family as they go through this trying time.
It is not good to write no sense on this site remember it was accident not delibarate or done out of his conscience.
No one wants to die
There is no such thing as Mongu Kalabo road please. Check your facts.
MAY THERE BE PEACE WITH YOU, YOUR FAMILY, MUSICIANS AND ZAMBIA AS A WHOLE
@2 mulekontolola ba LT PALI ENGLISH ngaimwe spelling ya write kuti yaba WRITTING or WRITING ?
Very sad. Rest in peace. Our prayers and thoughts with his family.
Very sad.Rest in peace.
sad indeed MHSRP we surely will miss him and his music.
I dont remember his music anyway. How can someone who sings bedroom music afford a BMW car? when me a profesor in chemistry i can afford a even a madza?
Thats europe and all these developed countries for you my friend! While in africa young boys and gals dance in luxuries that people in europe sweat for, sometimes you wonder what all this brag about phds and diaspora sh***t really is all about!
@30 Malinso, you are stupid!
Sad news indeed.
# 2 you were quick to correct LT but did you check your statement ” … he was the gigantic in the song bwela pa nyumba…….” the gigantic what? LT your headline is wrong the accident was on Lusaka – Mongu road not kalabo as reported. check your facts before publishing articles or stories.
Sad news indeed
R.I.P Alubusu
Will be sadly missed MHSRIP.
I loved his voice
May his soul rest in peace!
I remember u my brother with your song bwela pa nyumba
