PHOTOS: YOUNG GUY COMMITS SUICIDE IN ZAMBIA AFTER TELLING HIS FRIENDS HE WAS GOING TO; THEY ALL LAUGHED IT OFF AS A BAD JOKE.
A Zambian young man identified as Mpanjilwa Mulwanda hanged himself on July 24. His death is currently trending on Zambia Social Media.
According to multiple Facebook sources, during a chat with his friends on Friday, July 21, he made it known that he was going to take his life but they all laughed it off. In fact some even encouraged him to do it.
Read a post by a concerned Zambian, Simon Freeman, below..
“I never knew Mpanjilwa Mulwanda personally but after learning what transpired, seemed he mentioned taking his life to his friends who took it as a joke & probably never talked him out as much as they should have. I know how friendship is but anyway, one thing this has personally taught me is we should learn to encourage love amongst ourselves.
You never know what people are going through & just a few encouraging words from you could be what would stop someone from doing something unimaginable, we really need more wise & encouraging people for a better tomorrow . It’s so unfortunate the brother is gone & nothing can be done about that but we can definitely avoid more incidents like this by loving one another more than expressing hate all in trying to seem like a star. R.I.P Mpanjilwa”

Another Zambian Facebook user, Joseph Kamfwa called on the police to arrest those friends who encouraged him to take his his life.
“ZAMBIA POLICE"
Do people a favour- arrest and question all those kids who were pushing their friend to commit suicide. They are as guilty as someone charged with 2nd degree murder. It’s high time Zambians learnt limits to conversation”
There is a lot of limit to how far we joke with life. We can play and laugh all we can but when it becomes critical to understand and detect what others are feeling, we need to be extra vigilant and three times wiser than we are. May his soul rest in peace, and condolences to the family.
