    This whole thing of driving high performance vehicles like a six-speed Altezza like they are rally cars is silly.

    Now I believe what someone said “if you want to see an Altezza, check for car wrecks at the police station”

    The fellow was driving with 3 women, high and speeding. Stupid death

    THE OTHER DAY I APPEALED TO OUR REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT TO PUMP SENSE INTO RTSA, ITS BOARD AND TRAFFIC POLICE TO GET SERIOUS WITH DRINK DRIVING!!!!I WAS IMPRESSED BY EMILY SIKAZWE’S FOLLOW UP REMARKS ON THE SAME TOPIC. IN ZAMBIA RTSA AND TRAFFIC POLICE ARE FAILING US! PLEASE ENACT AN APPROPRIATE SI AND A FAST TRACK COURT. OFFENDERS MUST BE CAGED FOR ONE NIGHT AND SENTENCED BY A COURT THE FOLLOWING DAY EITHER PAY K1,000,000 OR 1 MONTH SIMPLE IMPRISONMENT. PLEASE PLEASE BUY ALCOHOL METERS 2O FOR LUSAKA AND 2 FOR EACH DISTRICT. THEY WILL PAY FOR THEMSELVES!

    RTSA has alot to look at,Lumwanamine has alcohol tolerance of anything above 0.02% can not be allowed to drive in the mine area including the mine township where our laws talks of 0.08% this person is completely drunk,how can he drive? RTSA you better think seriously.

  16. MUNYELO PWETE!   July 20, 2012 at 11:15 am

    Guys pantu mufwaya uku shaina even on mere prostitutes! When you hook a prostitute, just show her a wallet even if it is empty and you will see how fast she will remove the G-string! I experimented this trick on Janet C, believe you me it was booooom!

  17. makasa   July 20, 2012 at 11:44 am

    The bank guy, if he could have only hit that ATM, for sure he was drunk. dame!!!!!!!!!

  18. CB Dweller   July 20, 2012 at 12:06 pm

    Where was the truck going? Damn that chap was really drunk on the job.So thats what caused shortage of chibuku in kabwata.As for the altezaa victims, travel well wherever you are going

  19. grandwizard   July 20, 2012 at 1:16 pm

    I think its time we start using cattle as means of transport like the tongas becoz these evil cars wil finish us.

  20. Reggie Noble   July 20, 2012 at 2:27 pm

    We have too many driving schools which need to be monitored. The other day some instructor did not indicate or stop at a pedestrian crossing.

  21. MundiaM   July 20, 2012 at 3:22 pm

    RTSA, wake up you id!ots! Are you waiting for half the driving population to be wiped out before you do something? You need to raise money and earn your keep by patrolling and arresting night drunk drivers. The Altezza driver could have killed innocent workers if he had plunged into Family 24. It is a shame that the driver died as he deserved to be prosecuted. As for the truck driver for the Chelston truck, it should be established if he was drunk or the brakes of the vehicle failed. I hope he did not injure anybody.
    RTSA should be reformed!

    …CLAIMS THREE LIVES…NOT LIVES OF THREE….SORRY NONETHELESS.

  23. mukombe   July 20, 2012 at 3:46 pm

  25. Mutola Nkhani   July 20, 2012 at 5:08 pm

    Imwe ma Reporters please come to me for some free reporting lessons. In your reports always answer What? Where? Why? Who? and How? Where(in which city) is Family 24? What is it? A hill? a house? A nightclub?

  26. the verdict   July 20, 2012 at 5:32 pm

  31. Kalok   July 21, 2012 at 11:17 am

    As usual “MANGLED” become “MINGLED” and then the reading becomes unpalatable… Places are not situated, occupants not properly enumerated – but an interesting details on clothing (maybe the G-string aroused the reporter!)… Strewth!!!

  32. Francis   July 22, 2012 at 11:01 pm

    Too bad 4 ma frnd Albert we ordy missn u in Kabwe man.

  33. Umuchinzi Wamonona   July 24, 2012 at 6:18 am

    THINKING OF THIS ACCIDENT, LUSAKA CITY COUNCIL (LCC) AND RTSA HAVE TO BE SUED BY RELATIVES OF THE DECEASED. LCC FOR NEGLECTING PAINTING OF PAVEMENTS WHICH MADE THE DRIVER NOT SEE HIT INTO PAVEMENT AND KILLED PEOPLE. RTSA FOR SLEEPING WHEN DRUNK DRIVERS ARE LET FREE TO DRIVE THE WHOLE NIGHT TO KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE. IF WE START SUING THESE IRRESPONSIBLE PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS, LCC AND RTSA WILL EQUALLY BECOME SERIOUS!!!!!!!!!!

  34. shazu   August 9, 2012 at 10:33 pm

    It’s so easy to comment on an accident when none of the victims is your relative. I only hope all of you know exactly the type of death you gonna experience.

  35. King Julien   December 1, 2012 at 10:29 am

    Nama ATM yene ukushupa thats why the guy deceded to take a short cut to withdraw from inside the bank while seated in his truck!
