    • Nobody tried to resarstate him.
      Most of those suicide people are put in mortuary freezer alive. I witnessed one in village when at a boarding school, the guy was buried alive, he was found in morning hanging, in afternoon he was sweating, but nobody paid attention. Police came at night, and only interviewed village headman and gave permission for burial. Next morning Lungu was buried, and he was still sweating.

    • Again, @Kaizar Zulu just lied like a little sis. A person’s personality has nothing to do with governance. Moral decay in the mind of the late was the problem. Sometimes even the person’s family is not a problem. If you @Kaizar Zulu decided to end your little life, so be it and that’s your problem not HH.
