Jovial Chasefu nurse shocks family, friends with su***de
A GIRL who appeared happy and problem free has left everyone wondering what could have been eating her up after she committed su***de by jabbing herself to death.
26-year-old Sibong'ile Mwale was posted to Chasefu district in Eastern Province as a midwife for Phikamalaza Health Post under the Ministry of health in 2022.
She is originally from Ndola, on the Copperbelt, were she grew up from and completed her high school at Lubuto Secondary School in 2015.
Sibong’ile was also the first child her mother managed to educate.
However, on Monday, the ‘happy’ nurse who was staying alone decided to end her life in her house, by injecting herself with tablets meant for maize preservation around 03:00 hours.
Eastern Province Police Commissioner, Robertson Mweemba, who confirmed the incident said she was rushed to Lundazi District Hospital where she was pronounced dead.
“The body of the deceased has since been deposited in the Lundazi District Hospital Mortuary awaiting burial,” said Mweemba.
Her friends expressed their grief through social media posts, adding that she gave no signs of wanting to end her life.
“It hit us in such a way that we didn’t expect her to do something like that because she was a very jovial person."
" We could talk to her and laugh with her and we thought everything was okay only for us to wake up one morning to such news, which is very very sad, considering the fact that she was her only family here and the only family she has is in Ndola,” a friend, Hildah Miti told Kalemba.
