South Africa has better medical facilities than Zambia. I wish the family a speed recovery.

Are you a zambian yourself when you dont know those who are supposed to be fellow Zambians? Zambia has even had a defence force commander named Zuze
Our prayers are with the Zuze family. May God’s healing hands embrace them. By the way, “Chris-Hanni-Baragwanath” Hospital is in Soweto, South of Johannesburg. It is the biggest hospital in the Southern Hemisphere.
Fatal accident? Does LT know the meaning of fatal?
No its near fatal
To Lusaka Times, Fatal means very serious just like in ‘A man of the People’ novel. Kikikiki!
Speedy recovery to the Zuze family and good on you High Commissioner Mwamba.
God’s speed recovery for the family. Isaiah 53:5.
Mwamba zuze? Im almost 100% sure that this man is not Zambian.
We do have in zambia a huge problem with home affairs personal. They always give NRCs to foreigners
Utter stupidity. Your focus is their tribe and nationality when they are at risk of losing their lives. What is there to being Zambian? What makes it so special?
Both Mwamba and Zuze are Zambian names
That is the late President M.C Sata’s son. PF government must help after all it is because of Sata that they got into power!
When is LT going improve their journalism , Hon. Mwamba is the High Commissioner for Zambia in SA not the Ambassador, though out the story you mention him as High Commissioner then Ambassador , all Commonwealth countries have High Commissioners and the rest have Ambassadors.
grade eight/nine civics, sure ba LT.
At the risk of being petty, is Emmanuel Mwamba the High Commissioner or a spokesman for the High Commission? I was of the impression that they have a press officer who is earning a free salary.
baragwanath hospital i n nelspruit? accident happenned 70 km from jhb and thwey were avacuated to 500km away ?
Embassy making ‘frantic’ effort! Which means panicking due to lacking preparedness for such eventualities,,,, meanining management by crisis.
Anyway this sums up the whole sad Zambian story
Quick recovery my family. May the Lord see your quick healing Mushota we are Authentic Zambians from Luangwa district, I doubt if you are a Zambian. I bet You are a Congolese. Anyway Haters will Hate.
This story is very misleading firstly there’s no umatata Johannesburg highway secondly how can one be admitted in Nelspruit if they were 70km south of Johannesburg, 70km South of Johannesburg if you re coming from Eastern cape is in the Vaal from what I know the closest public hospital near the Vaal is baragwanath hospital in Soweto and that freeway is N1 Please get your facts right.
@No. 1 what is your point? President Lungu is a better leader than, you know what!!
Is it the youngest son or daughter? Please proof read LT.
Anyway, wishing all injured a quick and full recovery.
Dear Toddler Mushota,
Both Zuze and Mwamba are Zambian names. Zuze from Luangwa and Mwamba Northern. Mushota seems congolese. Ask GENERAL Zuze one of our finest and accomplished Airforce commanders, he comes from Luangwa.
