MONEY lenders in Kawambwa have been grabbing ATM cards from clients for fear of losing their money, Tumfweko understands.
The money lenders popularly known as shylocks have been keeping their debtors’ ATM cardsfor long periods of time because they fear their clients may not honor their monthly agreements.
And a random survey by tumfweko has revealed that money lending is one of Kawambwa’s booming businesses.
The survey has also revealed that shylocks enjoy lending their money known as “kaloba” to teachers who are their most important customers.
Kaloba is a term given to money lent to a client by a shylock with an aim of getting it back with accumulated interest which in most.
And when reached for a comment some teachers who sought anonymity explained that most of their colleagues have been losing property worth millions to money lenders for failure to settle kaloba.
They said some of their friends have been going to withdraw money early at night at each during pay days for fear of being spotted during daytime by hostile money lenders.
But Kawambwa District Education Board Secretary (DEBS) Justus Mponda has been critical of teachers who have been borrowing carelessly.
Mr. Mponda has been castigating teachers who have been over borrowing from shylocks urging them to stop.
The DEBS has been advising his teachers to take advantage of the loan facilities that were being offered at the banks.
He has said it is degrading for a learned person to resort to borrowing from the shylocks as their interest rates were very high.

Kawambwa!!! Wats happening wit u guys n Kawambwa. Every now &then its Kawambwa this or kawambwa that., chinjeni mwee.
@BAZOOKA, are you lost..what are you talking about? Ba shylock just enslave debtors.
This is very common practise in some countries around, seen it in Namibia, Botswana and SA (not sure if this is still happening after NCA). They go beyond keeping the ATM card, they even get the PIN number, to verify the PIN number, they have a swiping machine. So at month end, the money lender stands by ATM machine with several ATM cards and gets what belongs to Ceaser. What some borrowers do is immediately they leave the ATM card, they go to the bank, report the card as stollen and get a replacement. The shylock ends up with an invalid card. Life.

Hmmmh, buti guys insele sha chilamo! Tumfweko are only reporting & not insulting any of you. If you don’t like the news then don’t read. You’ll never see a good thing coming your way if you keep critisizing everything.
@ joez chinshi chakalipa sana daddy? no need to insult mwebantu. No need.
This platform is probably run by one or two journalists who happened to be in kawambwa @ that time. They cleverly thought it’s best to cover as much as possible in that town b’4 going to the next. Guys insele shachila!!!
Thanks tumfweko for the efforts you’re making. It’s not as easy as it looks…

Hello those of u who think tumfweko.com is not doing anything instead of insulting and giving bad comments please don’t vist the site i don’t think tumfweko.com is forcing pipo to vist the site. grow up
imwe fisushi fyenu y kawambwa alone this is happening every where especially kuli bashi mine.mufulira,chingola,kitwe, luanshya and chililabombwe worse.ala
Seems like tumfweko is hosted in kawambwa! lol.
IT IS SAD TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS ALMOST NORMAL AND THE TRUTH IS IT IS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY BOTH FOR GOVT AND EVEN PRIVATE SECTOR WORKERS WHAT WILL REALLY HELP IS IF OUR GOVT FULFILLS ITS CAMPAIGN PROMISE OF LOWERING THESE CHOKING TAXES ESPECIALLY THE INFAMOUS PAY AS YOU EARN ITS NOT DAY DREAMING ITS PRACTICAL THEN THAT GAP SHOULD BE FILLED BY WINDFALL TAXES FROM THE MINES AND THIS IS A POSITION SUPPORTED BY THE WORLD BANK, THIS WAY PEOPLE WILL HAVE MORE TO TAKE HOME AND GET BACK SOME DIGNITY LOL
kawambwa whats happening there.
Teachers borrow everywhere because their salaries are too low to sustain their lives. That kawambwa DEBS uuu just sit yo ass in the office nd u get paid more than k7million nd u expect common teachers with poor salaries not to borrow..Foolish DEBS
@@wanu ngwee these pipo are connected to the pipo working in banks. So u can’t pretend that u have lost yo card. …. It a crazy game …
Nanga kaja ka nyimbo ati ‘awemba aliye nzelu’ kakali kulila pa ZNBC?
Its true, ba Tumfweko pliz expand yo coverage.Every time its Kawambwa, may b thats yo HQ.Enough of kawambwa(where dogs were falling down due starvation).Hop to see other places 2moro.
Talking about salaries,all civil servants are under paid but y are teachers involved in such scandals? If we are to compare a teacher’s pay to that of a nurse,we’ll learn that teachers get more than nurses but you will never hear them lowering themselves like our teachers.This is a public site and thats why i havent exposed their net pay.BUT still their pay shud be raised to help them stop the kaloba imprisonment.
I can’t even try, utushimbe etwatemwa ishi imisango. why should u your give away yo ATM card? that’s bullshit.
not kawambwa again! let me switch to zambian watchdog
its not da isue of salaries being too Low for techers to b involvd in exam malpractice but its about character.hav u not head of pipo with higher salariz being involvd in malpractices.u know them.low salary canot make a thief unles u are yoself.
