I did not know this young man personally but I have come to learn of his unfortunate death. It is very disheartening to lose a loved one especially your own blood. I pray with his family so that they get comfort during this hard time.
I also note that there are videos circulating of this young man being allegedly beaten by two women. What strikes me is the level of hypocrisy among our society. The only reason many have raised voice against this is because the young man is no longer with us. Had he been with us,he would have been the receiver of endless memes and jokes about being caught out and beaten by his woman. I will leave the police to do their investigation but I can’t stand the hypocrisy. Kz
I was surprised to read somewhere that the Zambia Police Service has taken interest in the videos circulating on social media of Daev and some young ladies. Ine ati my guuuuud! Why can’t the Police just arrest Hichilema and charge him with the offense of ‘Taking Percuniary Advantage of Zambians during privatization instead of making issues out of those innocent amateur videos? The officer that will arrest Hichilema will make a name for himself, even the BBC will quote him. If I were a Buju today ngamwenako. Just arrest Hichilema and call Mwami 1 ati Bwana twamulonga. Zambia has become politically boring, even Kambwili has stopped talking. So can someone arrest the Cayman Island man
Ayatollah I think your comment is misplaced. In as much as I support the charging of HH due to his involvement in privatisation, I think this is not the right article for such. We have lost a fellow zambian. A young man. Let us afford him respect even if it is just for an hour or so.
Rest in peace!
More lives lost on Zambian roads. Sad news indeed.
Due to covid-19 restrictions on socialising, there was a quiet period of no car accidents. Now, with things easing, accidents are creeping up. And the usual culprit appears to be excessive speed leading to failure to control the vehicle.
Am I, the only person who thinks there is a deficit in the content of driving lessons? Are people not taught the physics of momentum of speed and the difficulty of controlling a vehicle once the threshold has been breached?? All very well teaching people how to steer a vehicle; you also have to make them understand the dynamics of vehicle behaviour.
@ KZ, it’ll make more sense for any lawyer or police officer to arrest Hichilema now than to pursue any of those young ladies shown in that video of Daev, and that’s the irony in my comment. Would anyone call what’s in that video as gender violence?
Comment:
Very sad .RIP WE LL MISS YOU BROO.
Zambian slippery roads are death traps! Last time i drove the car on my visit to that country, the car almost slipped off the slippery ”Great North road” thanks to my 35 years of good driving experience , i didn’t panic or lose control of the car.
Was even listening to his music while driving to work not knowing he had passed on.
Rest in peace young man.
True, we have lost way too many young people on our roads.
Too sad brother

How many people, still alive, who are politicians, vying for political leadership in 2021 elections, were part of the team that was involved in the privatization of national assets 20 years ago? What roll did Hakainde Hichilema have in this team? All those who were involved should be arrested to explain to the people of Zambia. None should be spared.
So soon man. I’m going to missing you
Sad news ?. Am going to miss you
Those ladies have to face the law no matter what! If it were men doing that to a lady.. Imagine what was going to be on the new. Please Zambia Police, you are right to take interest in the video where the late DAEV was seen being mistreated. We are looking forward to seeing appropriate action being taken in this regard. KT.
