PMG Platform Warning

The PMG Platform is operating as a Ponzi scheme, misleading Zambians with false “investment opportunities.” The scheme requires individuals to deposit money with promises that it will grow over time. However, the platform does not hold a license from the Bank of Zambia nor a certificate from ZICTA.

To gain public trust, the promoters have been using influencers and media outlets, including TV stations to advertise and legitimize their activities. Two months ago, they even launched an office by inviting government officials to attend the event.

It is important to note that the same individuals previously operated another fraudulent platform under the names AJ and Jixw, through which they obtained approximately K9 billion from unsuspecting Zambians via Airtel Money and MTN Money before abruptly shutting it down.

Currently, they are attempting to relaunch under a new name, and in some cases, they are even misusing the President’s name to promote their activities—something State House may not be aware of.

We urge Zambians, especially government officials, to exercise caution and avoid falling victim to such fraudulent platforms.

COINS FOUND ON CHILD'S BODY IN CHIKANKATA

By Hope Chooma

A disturbing incident has emerged in the Nansenga area of Chikankata District, Southern Province, where coins were reportedly found on the hands of a deceased child, Emerson Mweemba, during an exhumation ordered by the police and the court.

Emerson, who passed away at the age of five on 28th December 2024, was exhumed on Wednesday morning following allegations made by his maternal family. The child’s paternal grandmother, Lusiya Lumina, aged 60, was accused of placing coins in the child's hands when the body was being prepared for burial at the mortuary last year.

According to reports, the practice of placing coins on a deceased person's hands is considered strange and unacceptable in the local tradition. Family members from the mother’s side took legal action against Ms. Lumina, demanding an explanation for the act.

Following a court order, police officers, in collaboration with Chikankata Municipal Council officials, exhumed the body and confirmed the presence of the coins. Ms. Lumina was then asked to identify and remove the coins, which have since been secured as evidence to be presented in court.

Tensions flared at the burial site, and police had to quickly es**rt the accused grandmother away from the scene to prevent confrontation with angry mourners.

Relatives from the maternal side expressed concern and disappointment over what they termed a "strange practice." They are now awaiting the court’s decision, scheduled for 27th June 2025, and are calling for justice in the matter.

The family also requested that the body be reburied in a location associated with the mother’s side of the family, which has since been done.

Speaking on behalf of the Zone Chairman, Headman Hankomoone, Christopher Kang’ombe expressed gratitude to the court, police, traditional leaders, and council authorities for their cooperation and for maintaining peace during the exhumation process.

The family extended special thanks to the traditional leadership for supporting their plea to have the body exhumed and the issue investigated.

Upon searching the vehicle, the following items were recovered:

1. A green backpack with a pair of number plates (AFB 3281).
2. 2 empty bottles of benylin.
3. A packet of disposable medical face masks.
4. A sachet of suspected mar!juana.
5. 2 screwdrivers.
6. A broken car key.

"My parents died years back and I just have a small sister, I was very down when I discovered that have kidney cancer but am positive and believe In God so I just keep my Faith in him that everything will be fine."

YAKAIPA! THE RISE AND FALL OF THE BAROTSE BUSINESS MAGNATE

By OUR CHIEF EDITOR

Born Ernest Sikaonga, YAKAIPA is a name which became synonymous with TBZ. Known for his fleet of trucks that traversed the highways of Zambia.

At times, when he woke up on the right side of his bed, he would storm the small town of Mongu in a long convoy of his long trailers, splashing hundred kwacha notes to the onlookers.

He was born and raised in the thickets of the forests of Barotseland. Between 1979 and 1983, his father, a Mambwe man from Mkushi arrived in Kaoma for business. His mother was a native of Kaoma, from the Sipopa area of Nkeyema district. He met the mother at about the same year, and Ernest Sikaonga was born. Ernest Sikaonga grew up as a sharp and charismatic boy, he is described by his former class mate as being intelligent as well. He did his education in Kaoma where he reached Grade 9. On his last term in Grade 9, Ernest’s mother had financial challenges and thus, could not afford to sponsor him any longer. She decided to sell one of the cows from her family kraal to raise funds for Ernest’s education. When Ernest was given the money, he decided to quit school and used the money for business. This was in 1996.

It was at this stage that he metamorphosed from the unknown Ernest Sikaonga to the popular Yakaipa. Yakaipa was a nick name that became a successful business brand. It is derived from the Nyanja language. The meaning is slightly synonymous to “ikali” or “Yakalipa" which are both euphemisms for strength and determination.
Word has it that he invested his school fees in into selling sweets in the streets of Kaoma. Later on in the eàrly 2000s, he diversified and moved into fuel. He was selling petrol and diesel on the roadside in 5 Liters containers.

In the mid 2000s, His business grew into an empire of conglomerations, from the selling of fuel, and now to the selling of Raw bundles of To***co. There was a time when people abandoned maize production
