26-YEAR-OLD WOMAN OF KAZUNGULA COMMITS SU***DE IN POLICE CELLS.

A 26-year-old woman has allegedly committed su***de while in police custody at Kazungula Police Station in Southern Province.

Southern Province Police Commanding Officer Moono Namalongo says Milimo Mpongo of Makalanguzu Village in Kazungula District was found hanging in the female cells between 07:00 and 08:00 hours yesterday, August 28, 2026.

Ms. Mpongo was detained alone in connection with four theft complaints.

Mr. Namalongo says on August 27, 2026, between 14:00 and 16:00 hours, Ms. Mpongo allegedly visited four different Airtel Money businesses in Kazungula District and requested transactions ranging from one thousand to three thousand four hundred kwacha to be deposited into her mobile money number.

He says it is alleged that after the transactions, she would open a small black laptop bag she was carrying and claim that she had forgotten the money at home before leaving the respective premises.

Mr. Namalongo says following the complaints, Ms. Mpongo was apprehended and placed in police custody.

He says officers on duty spoke to her at around 07:00 hours yesterday and found her alive, but she was later discovered hanging in the female cells using the chitenge material she was wearing, which had been tied to a window burglar bar.

Mr. Namalongo says Police informed the deceased’s relatives, after which the body was untied in the presence of a relative and taken to Kazungula General Hospital, where she was certified dead.

He says the body was later deposited at Livingstone Hospital Mortuary, where it is awaiting postmortem examination.

Meanwhile, Police have launched investigations into the incident.

FIRE GUTS SINAZONGWE TOWN COUNCIL ACCOUNTS OFFICE.

Fire has gutted the Accounts Office, Director office and Registry office at the Sinazongwe Town Council in the early hours of this morning, Friday, 28th August, 2026.

According to security officers, the fire is suspected to have started between 00:00 hours and 01:00 hours after working hours on Thursday.

The incident has shocked the community, as it is reportedly the first of its kind in the district’s history, coming shortly after the recently concluded general elections.

Security officers say the smell of smoke alerted the administration to the incident.

The Chief Accounts Office was the most affected section.

Items damaged include accounts documents, furniture and computers.

The Maamba Energy Limited Fire Brigade responded and managed to put out the fire, with support from Geo Construction Company and the Sinazongwe ZESCO Sub-Station team.

The Civic Centre was crowded with residents who gathered to witness the incident.

Fire officers confirmed that the fire was completely put out between 03:00 and 04:00 hours early Friday morning.

Authorities are yet to establish the full cause of the fire and the extent of the damage.

TWO DIE IN PEMBA ROAD ACCIDENT

August 28, 2026 – The Zambia Police Service in Pemba District has recorded a fatal road traffic accident in which a 61-year-old male truck driver and a female passenger died on the spot after two trucks collided head-on.

The accident occurred on August 27, 2026, at around 13:30 hours along the Great North Road, about 7 kilometres south of Pemba Town in Pemba District.

Involved was a 61-year-old male driver, Leonard Banda, of Garden House, Lusaka, who was driving a Shacman tanker truck bearing registration number AOB 5625ZM, towing trailer number AOB 5765ZM, from south to north. He sustained fatal head injuries and died on the spot. The motor vehicle was extensively damaged.

Also on board the tanker was a female adult passenger identified as Maureen, other names not known, of Kalomo. Her age and compound are not known. She sustained fatal body injuries and died on the spot.

The bodies of the deceased have since been deposited at Kasiya Hospital Mortuary, awaiting postmortem examination.

Also involved was a 36-year-old male driver, James Hajaya, of Ndola, who was driving a Sino truck and trailer bearing registration number BCG 781ZM, towing trailer number BCG 936ZM, from north to south. He sustained a cut on the right elbow and general body pains and was treated and discharged as an outpatient at Pemba Mini Hospital.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the accident occurred when the driver of the Sino truck and trailer was improperly overtaking and, in the process, collided head-on with the oncoming Shacman tanker truck.

The Zambia Police Service urges motorists to exercise caution when overtaking, ensure that the road ahead is clear and safe, and avoid overtaking manoeuvres that may endanger other road users.

80-YEAR-OLD WOMAN DIES FROM SEVERE BURNS AFTER HER MATTRESS CATCHES FIRE WHILE TRYING TO KEEP HERSELF WARM

An 80 year old woman of Kashongo in Chief Moyo’s area of Pemba District, has died after sustaining burns when a fire she was using to keep warm in her house caught her mattress.

Narrating the incident to Chikuni Radio News, her nephew, Ndila Choongo, says his aunt Mary Matimba, was staying alone in a small one roomed house, while her only son lived about 60 metres away from her house.

Mr Choongo says the incident was discovered by a child who had taken food to the elderly woman, only to find that she had been burnt after the fire spread from the mattress and she was leaning against the wall.

She was rushed to Muzoka Clinic for treatment but later died while receiving medical attention and her body was taken to Pemba Hospital mortuary.

Mr Choongo has since called on families to take greater care of elderly relatives and avoid leaving them to live alone.

He says the incident could have been prevented if the elderly woman had not been left on her own, urging families to ensure that older people are regularly checked on and assisted.

⚠️ WARNING PICTURES MAY BE SENSITIVE TO SOME (We apologize)

TWO 12-YEAR-OLD BOYS OF KABAMBA PRIMARY SUFFER SERIOUS BURNS IN CHIKANKATA

Two 12-year-old boys of Kabamba Primary School in Chikankata District have suffered serious burns to their entire bodies.

The victims have been identified as Hendrix Kazingini and Richard Kazingini, both of Mantyabwa Village in Hapiku area.

Speaking to Salvation Army Radio News, their aunt Juliet Jamu said she was not home at the time of the incident as she had gone to collect thatching grass.

Ms. Jamu narrated that when she returned between 11:00 and 12:00 hours, she found Hendrix with his friend.

She said the two boys then rushed to where Richard and his friend were, to put out a fire they had found burning since morning.

She explained that when the other children saw Hendrix and Richard being burnt, they ran home to alert the elders.

The elders rushed to the scene and found the boys struggling with wounds as the fire had already spread to the area where they were seated.

Ms. Jamu said when the boys were asked what happened, they only responded, “we have been burnt.”

She is now appealing to well-wishers to come to their aid, saying the burden has become too heavy for her to carry alone.

The two boys are currently receiving treatment at Chikankata Mission General Hospital.

DR. CHIYOBA PLEDGES TO HONOUR CAMPAIGN PROMISES AFTER PRESIDENTIAL INAUHURATION

Former Chikankata Constituency Parliamentary Aspirant Dr. Malcolm Chiyoba says requests made by residents during the campaign period will be attended to after the inauguration of the President.

In a Facebook post monitored by Salvation Army Radio, Dr. Chiyoba explained that the Electoral Code of Conduct restricts candidates from carrying out certain activities during campaigns because such actions may be viewed as vote buying.

He said some people made requests during that period but were informed that assistance could not be rendered due to the restrictions.

Dr. Chiyoba added that with the campaign period now over, preparations are underway to begin honouring those commitments.
