PANIC In Nakonde As Locals MISTAKE Night Club Light Beam For APOCALYPSE
A SEARCH beam from the roof of a night club in Nakonde on Tuesday night caused panic among curious Nakonde and Tunduma residents who upon spotting it thought the world had approached its ending.
Owned by a night club called Limusote, the beam can be revolved in public square, large building, paradise gymnasium, castle, big outside performance and stage. There is a similar light beam that emanates from Vegas at Namakau House in Lusaka’s Chilenje Township.
In Nakonde, the A 799 light search with 220 Volts that adopts high voltage xenon lamp whose quartz cold reflector focuses well, light beam was visible up to 10 km from the border forcing residents to gather in groups.
With few stars in the sky, the search light beam revolved from one end to the other for about two hours continuously bringing most of the activities such as drinking and selling to a standstill.
ZANIS reports from Nakonde that some visibly shocked residents engaged into serious prayers in a desperate bid to save their lives.
Many thought this was time for rupture as the light in the sky was threatening and coincided with a quarter moon that was experienced that night.
One of the residents Dorothy Chikonde said in an interview that she thought this marked the end of the world and the second coming of Jesus Christ.
Chikonde said she immediately started praying as night revellers at a nearby drinking place called Kamba-kamba scampered in all directions for safety.
At a nearby church in Ntindi area , a clergyman Pastor Shadrick Silungwe was found in serious prayers with his congregation interceding for God’s peace.
Pastor Silungwe said the search light beam was seen for the first time in Nakonde district and this caused panic among many people who had never seen it before and were wondering what was really happening.

I remember this light at vegas club.As urban dwellers we danced our butts off to till we dropped.We run straight to the club, the counter was already open and boy did we drink our heads off.In the morning the light was already off including my head.When I looked up I just saw the bright sun and a few miniskirt clad chicks holding me steady.Happy new year villagers.Do not drink and fuci or drive.

Dat is a normal reaction and nothin spectacular. You can’t call such a reaction by people ignorance unless you’r ignorant too. It has been reportd that that beam was seen for the first time in the area so its very normal to be concerned coz they were not told such a thing will happen in de area. The border area is doted with supperstitution so people are alert to any new developments such as that one. If it was you seein dat light for the first time you wud understand why they were even praying to God for mercies.So don’t blame them but the ones who beamed the light unanounced.

That was a worse senario,l can imagine the best approach to be take was to inform the residents/ surrounding neighbours by puting up notices, flyers even using the local radio station just to make people aware of any eventualities. Anyway atleast pepo had spent quality time with the Lord.

@ nyuma Mary:I totally agree with you. Te bututu as some people are purporting.I am a Nakonde resident n it’s not fair to say all people who reside in nakonde batutu and they are not exposed to the so-called civilization.The owner of the night club should have publicized the matter so that people are aware..

Iye…… Twasebana, am based in nakonde and can confirm that there was total commotion and serious prayers that night. It’s not that all of us nakos dwellers are fontinis but there is serious illiteracy due to the fact that northern part of our nation is lagging behind education wise.
