CIVIL SERVANTS IN CHIKANKATA DISTRICT FEAR WITCHCRAFT INTIMIDATION
Civil servants in rural Chikankata district are reportedly living in fear due to rising incidences of witchcraft-related intimidation.
Chikankata District Commissioner, Timothy Chipolyonga, told Byta FM News that some locals are allegedly performing witchcraft acts, targeting teachers and other civil servants.
He has since condemned an act where earlier this week, a named woman was found naked and defecating at the door of a head teacher at Buche Buche Primary School in a ritual interpreted to be witchcraft.
Chipolyonga urged residents to desist from such acts, labelling witchcraft as primitive and damaging to public development.
He said the district administration has plans to launch a sensitisation campaign aimed at educating the community about the downside of practising witchcraft against civil servants.
Meanwhile, Chieftainess Mweenda in the same district has discouraged her subjects from performing acts of alleged witchcraft against government workers.
She said such acts may drive away essential service providers from the area, with the community standing to lose out in such an instance.
When the boss believes in witchcraft, even those under him will believe in it.
When the boss is corrupt, even those under him will be corrupt.
Vote wisely in 2026.
Indigo Tryrol, you see,you are a wet blanket who must talk sense but you want to follow your PF irresponsible way of doing things.
Even the people you are telling to vote well in 2026 will not follow your advice because you who is advising is sounding abnormal.The government has employed new young teachers and other civil servants and if they are molested in the night the service delivery will be affected. Now instead of you to talk about the bad behaviour you choose to talk irrelevant and lies which is in progressive just like the villagers who trouble the civil servants.
The rural leadership must not get tired of discouraging the bad trend which is found not only in chikankata but some other places in Zambia.The government is in a hurry to bring development to the rural areas so let us do correct things.
