#8 You are right, the blame really lies with ZANIS and why does this government media employ such low calibre people. I guess even the so called controlling officers are of low quality indeed and no wonder the government just fails to delivers on its mandate. Probably most ZANIS staff are corruptly employed as seen by the quality of their reporting

Why do people on this blog not get it? LT does not write these articles. Most of these come from ZANIS. They probably come in as automatic data feeds, unedited. You need to criticise amateur ZANIS reporting. What do you expect from a government owned/controlled news agency? First of all it was not clear that the deceased was a child. Infact the child’s age has not even been disclosed. Secondly, this Kabote game has not been explained. Poor journalism!!

this stroy is like note taking in university where the proffesor is in a rush. i don’t get anythind from this, LT editors should go back to school.
anyway, from a few points i got this shows that zambian people have nothing to do after school.the government should provide jobs to the people of the country after, why should a 25 years old man play a game instead of breing development and finding money to feed his family. UPND these are the things you should campaign over rather than urging who is going to be the HH or SATA. tell RB to look at this people and provide something for them even though there are in rural areas. poor leadership in zambia. day in and day out, leaders are just thinking how much i steal from that project that the investers are planing to do. *****S.

No. 1 – you are totally right. What is “kabote”? Please, LT, write articles which “everyone” can understand. It would help to dedicate just 1 sentence explaining what “kabote” is.

This game is palyed by thrusting each other in water. Its quiet enjoyable if one has the stamina. As for the deseased I am sure the guy was thrust hard in water. In some cases its some sort of summer saults.

What kind of game is this now? I guess this 25 year old had nothing better to do and now he will regret.People his age should be working not play such games with children,I feel sad for his family not for him.

Never heard this Kabote game before, is’nt 25 yrs too old to play such games? I would’nt even dare Bunjee jumping when I was 25. Anyway, too bad for the deceased.
