FAMILY DEMANDS JUSTICE FOR ZAMBIAN KILLED BY MOB IN TANZANIA
The family of a car salesman, Philip Zimhindo, who was killed by a mob in Tanzania at Ntunduma border, has called on authorities to ensure that those responsible are brought to justice.

Speaking to PTV2 News, the deceased’s brother, Joe Zimhindo, described Philip as a devout man who had no involvement in any form of witchcraft.
Philip Zimhindo was killed on 1st April 2026 and has since been laid to rest at his family farm in Lusaka’s Makeni area and has left behind a wife and two children.
The family has appealed to relevant authorities to take decisive action and ensure accountability for the mob killing.

This is the third such incidence within one month or so. It is beginning to take on the aura of the gassing saga.
What is the true motive of the perpetrators of this evil?
We never got to the bottom of the gassing incidents and for some reason, we have moved on. Is this a sign of mental laziness on the part of our criminal investigative wings? Over 50 lives were lost mostly as a result of mob justice. I don’t recall anyone dying from the gassing itself.
The matter has been quietly forgotten. When it comes to road blocks and harassing the innocent public, the police are ruthless. But where it really matters, like the gassing saga, they are a huge disappointment.
