Exam Pressure: UNZA Student Commits Suicide
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

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.

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…

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.
