This makes some sad hearing indeed.M.H.S.R.I.P.
Swimming lessons should be compousary in Zambia
He died in the care of the Government. He was being trained as numerator. Kindly pay the family compansation which should be adquate.
#3 Does the govt have to pay compensation for every worker that dies in their employ? If he died whilst carrying out his duties and the govt was negligent, then yes his family should be compensated. It seems that he was actually swimming in his free time so why should the govt be liable? If he slipped because there was not enough safety measures around the river, then the appropriate authorities might be liable. You cant pin the blame on RB for this tragedy.
#2 you’re correct. all school going kids should be given swimming lessons from grade 1 to secondary school. But where are the swimming pools. Kansenshi sec school pool was last empty and i am not sure if it was filled with dirt
#4 Uli tolo chikala. Why do you hate Bemba wemwana wambwawe. Tombanoko.
On behalf of NYK ,may his soul Rest in Peace
