What about the PF mob, are they not going to be arrested? The criminal in this case are the thugs of Lusaka who beat up the “suspect”.
Extremely sad!! Such a senseless act resulting in a loss of life. May justice be prevail.
Zambians are waiting for the arrest of those who gassed innocent Zambians that led to death of 50 Zambians. We will not forget, just do your job.
Put this animal away and throw away the keys
These are results of allowing PF thugs with firearms and see now innocent people are killed and injured.
PF police, investigate thoroughly and these fire arms are from PF arsenal. We don’t want criminals.
PF must go!

Only PF caders has the habit of brandishing guns anyhow

I have been wondering whether Zambian watchdog has been shutdown or maybe readers are not interested in lies, insults, malice and uncivilized media and blog behavior characterized by ZWDog. Where are the likes of Madilu System, Nostradamus, Ayatollah, Spaka, Tarino Orange come from? Please go back to ZWD were such dirt is allowed. LT used to be very clean with constructive debates before it was infested by former ZWD bloggers. To KZ please do not tempted by these perpetual loser and fall in the trap of unconstructive debate.
@,kci
Madilu system is LT’s biggest blogger brand and learn to live with this brand name ok.
Just keep your lane my fellow blogger and before i joined blogging i was just a mere news reader without comments.
I then realized that people like you were taking due advantage of others. If I’m thorny your flesh live with it.
My number one is PF government and its thieves.
Therefore PF must go!
We have a son of Gray Zulu brandishing and tossing up pistols every where he must be arrested too. We don’t want criminals along the corridor of Power.
PF must go!
Women who use men to climb ladders and ditch them at last is a sin also and the wages of sin is death. I am not saying the man did well to kill the lady, however such tendacies must also come to an end. while this man was sponsoring the lady all was well but just after the lady completes and starts work she finds a new lover. I know some stories that he was a married man as purported however I believe even the lady knew as they were dating. its sad that the woman was killed.
@kci, you were not laid in weekend? Why are so honey today?
The mob did a good job by apprehending the culprit and giving him a good beating. I don’t know why some people are bringing in politics. This is nothing but a criminal act of one deranged individual. Treat it as such and get on with your life.
I am sure the guy lost the girl to the other man because of poor dick erection leading to jealous and insecurity
Where did he get the gun? Am sure he is cadre, You see the end result of giving cadres guns. You think it’s to scare your opposition but sometimes it ends like this. In the previous government administrations we had no serious gun cultures like these we are experiencing now. Stop giving guns to cadres these people are not trained to comply with weapon usage and rules they use tempers to shoot at anyone they go against with. It’s sad that a human being can gather such courage to shoot other human beings fearlessly in a Christian nation. Retrieve all the guns that are with cadres.
We want to know who killed 50 Zambians , government needs to let us know the reason why the murders occurred n the perpetrators brought to book. It’s way overdue n feedback is of importance.
Police said they received a donation of bicycles from Japan. Japan refused, they changed the story and said they made a mistake the bicycles are from China. Was it really a mistake or U thought Japan wasn’t going to know that you have accused them of making a donation they never made? Can any normal appreciating person forget a detail like that? Only God knows
Are the gassers behind bars or have vanished into thin air.
