A 69-year-old Zambian man from Riverside area in Kitwe has tragically passed away on an Ethiopian Airlines flight while traveling from Chicago, USA, to Ndola.
The deceased, identified as Joseph Phiri, had traveled to the United States for further medical treatment arranged by his son, who resides in Chicago.
According to Ruth Phiri, the wife of the deceased, Mr. Phiri had been unwell for some time, and his condition deteriorated on July 18th, 2023, during their journey from Chicago, via Addis Ababa, to Ndola.

She further indicated that a postmortem examination is scheduled to take place on July 19th, while preparations are underway to transport the body to Ndola.
Ambassador Sakala assured that the Zambian Mission and the family are working together to ensure that all necessary procedures are carried out promptly and efficiently in Ethiopia.
Inutu Mwanza, the First Secretary for Press and Tourism at the Zambian Embassy in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, issued a statement to ZNBC News regarding the tragic incident.

I am starting my own news website called “new dawn times”. Lusaka times has been reduced to a site of clones and perverted imbeciles. To all those interested in us having a new regulated site, all I ask for is a little contribution of 50 pounds per person to fund expenses. At this stage I need to know those who would be interested in this initiative so that I can assess how much capital we can raise. If you are interested in helping can you please upvote this post. I will share my contact details soon once i know how popular this idea is. If you cannot afford a mere 50 pounds then just keep your thoughts to yourself
I support this. Let me have your contact details. I would rather pay for a good service than use a free sub standard website like LT.
Can’t afford sir. Can I do it on credit Card?
Kikikikikiki! ” a little contribution of 50 pounds” Little?????

Your site will fall same prey to this one that is a cert.
You are within your right to do what ever you wish, but soliciting funds here when you left
in some eyes is not ethical

This Tarino fella reminds me of some 1970s Zairean scammers who went around soliciting for K100 from poor peasants so that they could make
K10 000 in return. Go away Mr Orange!
Broke people make silly comparisons like these. If you cannot afford it just keep quiet and let those that can contribute
