A student at Zambia’s highest institution of learning last night took his own life following what his friends say was mounting pressure due to exams.
The student only identified as Radoka Matenga, a second year reading Development Studies from the School of Humanities at the University of Zambia reportedly took his own life using the potent insecticide ‘Doom’.
Those close to him say the deceased had consistently mumbled about being ill-prepared for the University exams although it can not be independently verified what triggered his decision to end his own life.
Less than 3 weeks ago, 6th year medical student was found decomposing in his room at Ridgeway Campus.
But there are others that say there is more to his decision to commit suicide than exams

They say exam pressure and yet we all know that there is a high chance there is more to this. Surely we all know that students are facing very difficult times due to the PF’s poor economic performance that has led to everyone being worse off. We know that zambia is running on a deficit which is not sustainable. Now we have students taking their own lives as they just cant take it anymore. Our sincere condolences as UPND go out to his family and friends. In 2016 let us vote UPND and save a life
Sad.. very sad .
What a waste of talent,potential and young life.
Zambians we need to close ranks and be helpful to one another.
God have mercy!
That’s a spirit of fear and suicidal. RIP
There’s no resting in peace for those who commit sucide but go straight to hell.He is in hot soup at the moment in hell and is already regreting why he committed this foolish act

this is not political, death is not told, MHSRIP.
Sinners do not rest in peace,theres no good place reserved for them but hell.Stop cheating people that he is resting in peace the chap is languishing in hell right now and is already regreting having to obey the advice from demons that were in him
Right now he is dead….. not in hell. No one is in hell right no. The dead know nothing, the bible says. Hell will certainly be there at an appointed time.
The dead know nothing,they stay dumb. God does not rejoice in the death of a sinner.Body from dust to dust.There will be judgement day one day.

I think there is just another reason.us we were in sch of law but non of our colleague did sucide not even when we were at ziale apa so i just finished my master at oxford uk.so its just something else
Fwe baasooma tatulanda ama qualifications yeesu. Efyo fyaaba when you never expected to reach that far you want the entire world to know. So tekanya cikala, you will discover that sum of us, nifwe ba PROF.
si mimba che ye ayopa because ba guy bana kana? PA UNZA PALIFULISHA AMAHULE SANA. ITS A BROTHEL. EXAMS KWISA BONSE WE WENT THROUGH THE SAME WHAT KIND OF PRESSURE WAS THAT. SHE WILL EXPLAIN THE TRUTH WHEN SHE MEETS THE DEVIL IN HOT FIRE.
Kikiki developmental studies are courses one can kill himself over? Some of these courses what do they even “develop”? 🙂 tulekosa bane
There is a lecturer in the same department with same name. He is called Chrispin Radoka Matenga. Is he the father? If so, why did his child commit suicide?
Iwe chikala,NEZ you are a petty matafaka,PF has nothing to do with someone committing suicide,even in developed countries where you are an economic refugee people commit suicide.You think UPND would solve all our problems bullshiit!Be real when you anayse issues!
kiki am a 100 percent certain that you are a foolish pf cadre. Who told you i am an economic refugee, whatever that term means. I have investments in africa and freelance. Just because your unexposed self cannot afford the opportunity to be mobile you seem to have something negative against those that can. There is nothing special about being abroad you foolish backward twat. And we wonder why foolish government keep getting voted in, with fools like you…
Black bastered!
ukose kiki
BREAKING NEWS:The person who calls himself NEZ and UPND cadre is CHANDA CHIMBA III.Ve just discovered from one of the server in UK. Let him refute I will send all the files
kikiki wandepula muntu wandi. I am alot of things to alot of people. Mukose ba pf. Your representative JJB is another idiot who comes up with all sorts of theories about me.
Are you serious? Let’s have those files
kiki why are you all so concerned about who I am.Whether I am chimba, HH, Lifweko, RB, the point is that UPND is winning in 2016
Continue dreaming.when you wake up in 2016, your HH will still be in opposition.
Lesa wandi! He was so young!
Bafikala ni one zambia one nation,I’m also standing mu 2016,tutu chikala vice
the sad part of it all is that you could actually win the election, as the majority of voters are ignorant and are easily persuaded by idiots such as yourself.
All those of you who believe that he committed suicide due to exam pressure must think again. The truth coming out now is that he had problems with his family.
DEVELOPMENTAL STUDIES SURE? IYEEE!
NEZ TATONTONKANYA BWINO MUNE HH WILL NEVER BE A PRESIDENT HERE IN ZAMBIA EVEN MULYOKELA CAN BE A GOOD PRESIDENT THAN HITOLE HILYAKWE
Kiki ukose. Living in denial. Ba pf you are a funny bunch
Bufi ba tumfweko!that is not the reason why he killed himself,get your facts right!
Bufi ba tumfweko,get your facts right!he wasnt even sitting for the exams,then u start telling lies,mxxxm
y are pipo so much into politics wn it is just a simple thing.suicide! ba nez u claim 2 sumbody but yo coming out in simple issues tells me that yo part can’t & will never form govnment .let us not judge as judgement belongs to The Lord Jesus Christ
i think some people are simply not smart, analysing the story can you surely blame the pf goverment????? and we are not facing any hard times here!!!! i also want change in 2016 but stop being a dumb cadre
Its really sad to lose such a young soul… RIP ma guy till we meet again. One love.
Too bad wasted years,judgement day awaits
Awe ba nez mukule yama mumano na mumatako
ukose ifintu tafilibwino. vote UPND mune
This boys death doesn’t justify your been at a college..there was actually more to this story not nefyo fyama pressure..just a coincidence that he killed himself close to the exam period.
Imwe bambi apa busy. “His gone to hell”. We all sin ,and sin is the same..imwe bambi muli mahule,fimbi fikawolala,some of u abort and fornicate…so mwapusanina pesa??
Three idiot
too bad
