| Mwenya Chishimba who lost two teeth |
Suspected members of the Mbwambwambwa Gang have hacked
two youths, one of whom is battling for his life in the Kalulushi General
Hospital.
The second victim has been discharged from hospital
after being treated for head wounds.
The victims are from Kalulushi’s Mine Township.
22 year old Mwenya Chishimba who was badly beaten, has
lost two teeth in an attack which happened on Valentine’s Day and is still
admitted to the hospital.
Mwenya's mother Barbara Chishimba says her son almost
died due to the beatings.
Mrs Chishimba says around midnight on Valentine’s Day
she was awakened by a group of youths who were shouting slogans saying they
were members of the Mbwambwambwa Gang and they had come to dump her son.
"When I came out of the house, I found my son was
unconscious. He wasn't responding. He had many cuts and two of his teeth were
removed," she said amid sobs.
She complained that her son's attack is the second in
the family.
"I think our family is under attack. We are
leaving in fear now," she added.
In November last year, her 16 year old nephew
Blessings Busaka was hacked by suspected 70 Niggas gang members who broke his
jaw.
The boy even missed his Grade 11 examinations while he
was still nursing his wounds.
Since then, he cant eat through his mouth, he is fed
through a tube.
But Kalulushi District Commissioner Kenny Siachisumo
has downplayed the issue of gangs in Kalulushi.
Mr Siachisumo has told this blogger that Mwenya was
beaten during a fight between two groups of youths.
"When youths are beaten these days, they are
lying that it is 70 Niggas or Mbwambwambwa. These are just teenagers who were
fighting at a bar," said Mr Siachisumo.
The District Commissioner says Police have arrested
one suspect who took part in the beating and he is helping them with
investigations.
