A 16-year boy in Kitwe has been arrested for allegedly hitting his elder sister to death using a pounding stick.
The boy apparently got upset over nshima and allegedly picked up a pestle and hit his 18-year-old sister at their Mulenga Township family house where she collapsed.
Sarah Mubanga, 18, of house number MS 404, Mulenga Township was hit on the back with the pestle by her brother, Kelvin, of the same address.
Copperbelt Commissioner of Police, Mary Tembo said the incident occurred on Saturday around 18:00 hours.
After being hit, Sarah tried to run but she failed because she was too frail after the attack.
Their landlord assisted the girl to get into her mother’s house but she later died around 20.00 hours. She had complained of a severe backache before she died.
Ms Tembo said Kelvin had since been arrested and charged with murder.
He would appear in court soon.
So many deaths pa ZED, tatwapwe 2016 patali
NSHIMA A POWERFUL CHEMICAL, A POWERFUL DRUG IN ZAMBIA
sad…. My condolences to the family for loosing two people at once. may God be with them.[-(
That’s the power of nsima for you
Very stupid. After all this silly boy is not even the one who earns money to buy food at home. How dare he take it out on his sister? Now he has murdered his own sister. What a shame.
Tribal chief Ukwa is not sharing the spoils of his electoral victory with you, how pathetic! You are also suffering like the citizens of the Bantustans. All that street dancing in your birthsuits was for noto. Meanwhile Ukwa’s children are riding in limousines that Rupiah allegedly acquired corruptly. Not to forget the elephant rides. And all you do is kill yourselves over nshima! How sad!
kopala pali ubwali bwa linso lyangombe !!!!!
kikikikikikiki
Hmmmmm just like that!
I thought this kind of thing would not happen if after Ukwa was elected? Of course we all know which part of the country this family is from, if they can kill each other over nsima, do you honestly they can develop the whole country?
Very pathetic incidence,just over chibundu.
How on earth people eat Nshima is beyond me
That is ancient unhealthy out of touch of food, what happened to rice, Potatoes, macaroni, I bet most people if not all reading this have hardly eaten this in their lives and probably cant afford and hence they will support what I would call unerthical unhealthy food in Nshima
It makes people who rely on it 24/7 just a little primitive
SOrry But thats what i feel
Thanks
You are crazy. The only food that your belly ever knew when you were young is nshima and thats what has grown you to what you are.
For once I agree with u, nshima I think has a chemical which makes pipo dull esp those who mix it with sour milk, hence the need to try the other foods mentioned especially rice,potatoes etc
Iwe Ka Mushota ulikapuba,you always write nonsese.Ba some of us,you can take a black man from the bush but you cant take the bush out of him/her.Am sure when you were growing up kwa mandeku before you were given that ka scholarship by good samaritans you used to shit from nshima.Please next time write something constructive,you ka econmic refugee.
Iwe kamushota hope someone there akakuchite pamatako watumpa sana..pambafu
You say you’re in Glasgow but you can’t even spell ethical.
You look for attention in the wrong place. Learn to love yourself a bit more. You are such a miserable person.
U a pathetic little ugly bitch if u think like that. Nshima is our staple food. Stupid *****
Mushota I disagree. It matters what you put into the nshima; breakfast meal is no better than regular macaroni or bread. Roller meal, however, and millet meal are healthy options (just like brown rice, whole wheat bread, and whole wheat pasta). Potatoes are good, too, but to me, nshima is the staple I want once a day; the others I can have a few times a week, or bread everyday for breakfast. Nshima is filling in a way the others aren’t (although potatoes can come close depending on how they’re cooked). In some nations people have rice every day; why is it any worse to have nshima? They’re just different, that’s all.
Very sad indeed. On of those moments that breaks ones heart. May God’s right hand of favour rest upon the family and comfort and heal them. The devil is a liar.
(!) Chimanga Changa (!)
No. 6 and 9, so you think HH would turn things around, the answer is no, this country woud even be worse than what it is now. so you cowdungs always think using your mabisi infested bums to make a comment would pay, no way. you will remain in Stinky Province and will not EVER rule Zambia. Not in this generation baba. Get your selves a life than thinking with your smelly bottoms full of mabisi sh,,,,t.
you need deliverance to kick out such hatrate sir. or else you be cursed.
SAD WE HAVE ZAMBIANS WITH SUCH SHALLOW THINKING, MAY GOD REDEEM YOU.
Mushota talk is cheap, i hate people like you who are so boastful for nothing, you must be very dull and illiterate . How can Nshima be primitive ?? In ZED we consider rice, Potatoes, macaroni to be primitive too
Ka Mushota kalishilu! Nshima, ubwali is our staple food, and we should be proud of that. People will kill each other over all sorts of things. People kill over sex, beer, money etc. It is sad that a life was lost in this incidence.
Poverty. Sad indeed. I guess the boy did not eat anything since morning. Probably that was the only meal available for the household.
IBANGE(DAGA)!!!!!
Sounds familiar? like talking from experience. LOL
Ba Engineer dont waste you breath on ka mushota. You only make her happy to see people commenting on her/his foolish posts.
Its a disgrace to have Zambians such as ka mushota always condemning things from the mother land..She thinks she is in paradise en she is a princess yet she is just some foolish gal
my mbuyas ni so chabe. killing each other pa nsima ka? what more if the relish was Monkey T-bone? it would have been genocide in that house
Its common in Africa, unrest once erupted in Ghana over a chicken and become tribal war and many people died and so many death occur on beer fighting…its sad
@14 so many kolwestan are running to the south becouse of the nature of the inconomy here.Please am ready to can feed that family even for 20years so please come to the south you will enyoy nsima ya nyama a mabise .MHSRIP.
natasha dont show your ignorance of things here and never show off in life,i bet with you one day you will swallow your own silly words,we mbwawe.
Natasha this is hilarious insulting yourself ……….massive LOL
Madness is not confined to plot one. It is evenly distributed in the population. Natasha is merely speaking to the voices in her head. So Natasha’s conversations only start and end with herself! It is a very lonely place to be in!
bwaahahahaha!!
It was a mistake.
Too sad that such s happening in the reign of our promised man of action, i v no comment, just mau less with sorrow & pity ….
How does this unfortunate incident relate to the current president/government? MHSRIP
Very sad reading!
Over nsima!
MHSRIP
May we ‘pray without ceasing’ for beloved Zambia.
It must have been nshima prepared from mugaiwa. It tastes so good you know. Mushota, it is natural food not GMOs.
You not suppose to mention the name of a minor in your reporting. Its totally sad. Am sure he didnt mean to kill her. Sorry for the parents, they have lost a daughter and a son.
Cowdug, u are a fool. Learn to be civilised, you are an *****. A tribalist, You are a barbarian
Culmination of poverty and oppression
Maybe the family is still waiting for 90 days to settle
Is their any need for the 16yr old murderer to appear in court , when their is overwhelming evidence? I wonder what these courts are up to. U will see how the UPND cadres that killed a chinese in sinazeze will be executed without going to court.
:-\”
Ka Mushota, you are simply a childish disgrace! The incident is mostly because this young man is indiscipline and a drunkard or high on drugs. This generation (15 – 25 years old) has really lost it and the faulty lies squarely with the parents. We have to eandeavour to raise our children in the fear of Jehovah our God or the devils machinations will leave some homes with no children. MHSRIP!
Why so much hot air on KaMushota? No need to waste time on her she is just airing her views and to me she is entitled to that. Just make your contributions and don’t waste time on people like Mushota. It’s sad that this fool killed his sister over food. It can only come from kolwestans and never any other tribe like Tongas and Lozis. Ubwali Waipaya Naskster  as if that was the last Nkhoma that  meant lifetime satisfaction ubupuba – life sentence or just hang this dangerous Bemba fool. I rest my case!
Sad reading. But ‘ akulu Mhpuno’, whether there is overwhelming evidence for the crime can only come from those that witnessed the incident. Were you there yourself? Was the court there? Hence the need for this evidence to be presented before the court. What would you suggest, primary execution? Many people around the world have been lynched by mobs, only to find that they were wrongly identified. One case from South Africa was on TV not long ago. A mob burnt to death a person who they thought had just burgled a house in the township. It later transpired he was completely innocent – the wrong man!
The issue is not “nshima” per se. It’s anger. Uncontrolled anger can lead one to do stupid things. A person with untamed anger can, on the spar of a moment, kill somebody esle over anything. Whether or not a person eats macaroni, rice or chibundu has very little to do with this. Otherwise, the young man never intended to kill his dear sister. The death was accidental, considering the young man acted “under the influence” of anger.
Yaba. The sister was hit by the brother around 18:00 and she died around 20:00hrs??? Hmm. So for a couple of hours, no one in that household noticed that there was something wromng with her after she complained of back pain?
The power of NSIMA…iliko bad!
mushota you are Fanatical and if not very iliterate. what you do not know is that Macaron, rice, maize, potatoes … all these contain starch/provide carbohydrate (energy). does not matter what you choose to eat. Its true to say little knowledge can make you feel stupid as just as you have displayed.
what are a quality and even well-known websites for websites???
The poor boy never intended to murder the sister. Its in these moments somebody lives to regret such and wishes one could go back in time. i can imagine the guilt and the pain the boy is going through or later in life.
