Please lets look after our children properly,there are our next Obama,Rupiah and Bush’s .Rest in peace
It is being IRRESPONSIBLE as parents to leave children as young as 8yrs to be sleeping alone. Why not make them an elder who CAN protect them in such tragic times as this? Too bad for the family and the NATION at large! Let us, as parents, remember the great responsibility that GOD has entrusted to us towards these CHILDREN who are a HERITAGE from above. Naumfwa ububi sana!
For its iresponsible for parents imagine a 6 and 8 year old children sleeping alone in their glass thatched house its uncalled for. Please lets do away with mirth and tradition
It’s because of RB…hahaha
The headline is misleading, there is a 78 KM difference between Kalabo and Mongu. RIP
Am from there right now. The truth is that, the mother went to see a patient at Yuka SDA hospital few meters from the house. The news is not accurate. You people know how to report. Its very sad for the family. Today they only managed to bury some bones that remained after the fire
these parents shud be penarized, i know it’s not they fault that the house cought on fire but how can you abardoned a three year old child to sleep with an 8 yr old child sure. olo nikufuna kutowiga awee.
This use of candles by children without parental supervision has claimed alot of innoncent lives country wide. Parents please let us take care of our lives including those of our children and other dependants. I was once a victim of fire when i was below 7 and survived by chance. I still carry scares imagine, my special tools nearly burnt and life could have been flat for me.
Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad indeed, may thier souls rest in peace.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
Take note that LT should stop moderating my blogging I blogg to clear my frustrations caused by the politicians who never cease to amaze me. Mazoka was dribbled by FTJ in favour of LPM, LPM invited RB from the farm and made him his VICE. When LPM passed on RB made an announcement with crocodile tears dropping from his eyes, took the body around the country displaying it like a new product on the market. Gen Tembo joined the band wagon of praise singers. Teta and Mike Mulo were front campaigners for RB. the Mazoka gost has continued to haunt all those that stole his Presidency. one by one they are packing and facing him at the gate. LPM, CT, next will be who. Katele must be watched on Teta
I totally agree with # 5 .The headline is very much misleading the public and it must be changed.To our parents please lets take extremely care to our childrens as there are the future leader.They were just too your to start sleeping on there own.I feel pity and very bad at the sametime for the loss of our beloved sisters.May there soul rest in peace.Amen.
