Businessman Robbed Of K96, 000
BANDITS have ambushed a businessman of Mkushi on his way to Lusaka and grabbed K96,000 cash from him at gunpoint.
The robbery happened around 01:00 hours yesterday in Katuba area on the Great North Road, where two men armed with an AK47 waylaid the businessman identified as Danny Kapizya and fired gunshots in the air before they pounced on him and grabbed the money.
Central Province deputy police commissioner Edwin Bwanga, however, said swift action by police after the businessman reported the matter led to the arrest of four suspects and recovery of K76,000.
“As at now, we have four people in our custody in this attack. We are still investigating the matter,” Mr Bwanga said in an interview yesterday.
Mr Bwanga said among the suspects is the businessman’s driver believed to be the masterminded, a taxi driver whose vehicle was used to trail him and two men who waylaid him in Katuba.
Mr Bwanga said after the attack, the taxi driver and the other two men sped off from the crime scene.
Mr Bwanga said police first cornered the taxi driver whom they found with K6,000 cash and he led them to a hideout where the other three suspects were arrested.
He said the victim was travelling to Lusaka for business and he was not aware that he was being trailed.

withdrawing k96 000 in lusaka is even more risk than moving with it from the village. withdrawing bigger amount elsewhere is a process. the bank needs to comfirm with yo village bank. At times netwek is bad and that teks time. I once suffered just to withdraw k30, 000. i was only through after 10hrs.

exactly. When we say that 50 years after independence we are still not even able to ensure reliability in the financial sector, we are called names. The PF has failed you and I. There is need for capacity building in the financial sector. There is a lot of potential. One needs to look at the kenyan model of money transfer via text.a revolutionary system that works due to government engagement and support initially. Vote UPND bane

Like @NEZ says, lack of confidence in the financial system. Not because of confidence in the PF BUT due to ignorance & acute stupidity. In this cashless time, it is folly to do business with your pockets bulging. E-cash is the way. Recently, I got to this nice eating place in this Lusaka. Having ordered my meal, I asked the owner for any of his mobile money numbers (airtel, mtn or Xapit)) the guy shook his head as thought his neck was made of spring saying “no, no, no, only cash here!”

It is the same with managment and governance. They lack the capacity to deal with issues and preven issues happening. Even when those eventualities happen they still do not learn from those lessons to inform them on how to do things better. In other words they are very dull and foolish. vote upnd bane

IMPOSSIBLE,, Would he have told his disciples about a traitor selling him for 3 ngwee, nope, The Zambian government entrusted privatization to Zambia Privatization Agency, not to an individual, are you insinuating that the government lied to the Zambians on who was in charge of privatization in the nineties? Ooh! You heard that time you was putting on a CHIKWESA. i understand my worthy PFool opponent, only problem any duelling between you and i, me always come out tops. How is your day by the way?

Iwe boyi @haters walilubana! Koleka kusondoka! Samson trusted Delilah with the truth. Coz of that, he learnt a bitter lesson such that when hair had grown back, he prayed as you have said. ZPA was an agency comprising INDIVIDUALS entrusted with National wealth. Out of these persons, some (like hakainde) phucked the Nation off of its wealth (like the driver in the story)
