Just a matter of interest, how do define over speeding in zambia? When you go to other countries our maximum speed turns out to be the minimum speed on thr roads

The Driver is not badly hurt He is stable (ok) in the sense that he is out of danger. The vehicle they were travelling in is a Prado.

TIONGE above contributor, u claim that is why u drive German makes. Well the late Baldwin Nkumbula (MHSRIP)was driving a then top of the range Benz when he was involved in an accident near the overhead bridg in Kitwe from Wusakili to Town centre along that road. Even geran makes u can die when the time is up.

This guy was a fierce critic of the PF. H wanted saraly increments above inflation for the miners and this did not go well with some quaters. No one was near his car to unscrew some bolts in Ndola? Please Ndola Police confirm.

If it was a German machine no death would would have occured…When a German machine overturns the impact is very minimal compared to your Toyatas shit,unless it plucks in a truck not just overturning..I will never buy a Toyata may be American,Italian,French or English cars..This include..Aston Martins,Ferraris,Lambos,Jaguars,Maseratis,Porsches,Maybachs,Buggati Veyrons,Jeep,Range Rovers,Cadillacs,Chrysler,Maclerans,Hummerz,Ford Mastung….& tyhe list goes..MHSRIP.

MHSRIEP. The police are right. The impact was too big for a slow moving vehicle.I also a possibility of not putting the safety belt on. How else would you explain a driver coming out with minor injuries. Much as I sympathise, 90% of accidents are avoidable and it call for extra caution especially with vehicles as cheap as $1000

I believe in destiny. If and when one’s time is up, no escape nor delay will deter death.
All death are equal in gravity as some quarter of society will suffer a lose.
No matter what make of vehicle, aircraft nor the so called prophet of doom can stop it.
So as we mourn our late pal, let us see the advantage in his demise and work out a plan forward. His part is over and we acknowledge it was a success.
Bro rest in peace.

MHSRIP – PPle of Zambia, this is death and ought not be politicised in anyway. @Tionge and @ Golf, bemer (whaterver) there is a very thin line between your criticism of the dead and satanism. You must be mature enough to distinguish mourning jokes time. Imagine if it was your relatives… May God forgive your lack of sympathy.
@gelabo: the impact of the car does not necessarily represent the speed at which it was moving,especially in the case of a tyre burst or mechanical failure on parts like ball joints, cv joints, Tyre-Rod ends etc, even at a speed of between 100 – 120Km/Hour which is the Max speed on the highway. The police’s conclusion that the vehicle was overspeeding is what I would call and allegation or a mayor judgement which could also be wrong. Why is it that the Zambian Police always rush to concluding “overspeeding” on every similar accident???? We need fully qualified crime scene experts!!

Germany machines more stable,heavy,speedy going up to 260 KM/H so driving @ between 160 & 180 KM/h is nothin compared to Toyota as it vehicle start vibrating,shakin like break dance but for a Geleman shitt that is like a 100KM/h.I will never buy a Toyota…they only fit for Taxis or utlity vehicle like in the mines..MHSRIP
