Mongu safe and ready for Kuomboka – DC
By Staff Reporter
Mongu District Commissioner Susiku Kamona says contrary to concerns of rising insecurity in the district ahead of the Kuomboka ceremony of the Lozi speaking people, there is peace in the area.
Kamona said security wings in the area were on high alert to ensure peace and security.
“All Zambians and foreign tourists would be accorded maximum security before, during and after the colourful traditional ceremony. I’m urging the law enforcement agencies in the area not to relent in bringing culprits to book and ensure that safety is restored in the region,” said Kamona.
And Police in Mongu have picked up nine suspects from a group called Notorious Teenagers, believed to be behind a spate of criminal activities in the district such as rape, pick pocketing and assault.
This year’s ceremony would take place on April 28 and the Barotse Royal Establishment has invited Gawa Undi of the Chewa speaking people of Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique to grace the occasion.
