Why use her picture with President Hakainde Hichilema?
1. It is clear that from the very moment the sad incident occurred, there has been a great attempt to hide and cover-up this heinous and violent crime. Who is protecting Maria Zaloumis?
2. Official commentary and statements by the Zambia Police Spokesperson, Rae Hamoonga that immediately shifted the blame to the deceased, the victim, accusing the victim of being sent by Fatima, the estranged wife to Nathaniel Chinyeremi Bàrtham, the current partner to Maria Zaloumis and portraying the entire incidence as an act of self-defence by Maria Zaloumis and her team and branding Eric Simfukwe as an intruder.
It must be noted that this is before official investigations were conducted, before police statements were recorded and credible facts gathered.
3. Despite the video evidence showing Maria Zaloumis and her partner actively participating in interviewing the badly beaten, tortured and shackled Eric Simfukwe Kasengele, the Zambia Police, in its statement issued by Lemekani Chirwa, Deputy Commandimg Officer, Central Province, has distanced Maria Zaloumis and only arrested: Nathaniel Bartham, Gift Daka and Fortune Mutangeti (farm irrigators) and Daniel Chilowa (farm manager).
4. The incident that led to the demise of Eric Simfukwe occurred in the day! At 17:00hrs on August 2025 at Farm No. 5 Munyama Farms (Maria Zaloumis farm in Chisamba) reducing the case of an intruder as portrayed by Rae Hamoonga no longer plausible.
5. The convoluted statement from Lemekani Chirwa, Deputy Commanding Officer states that Eric was “apprehended” at 17;00hrs in Chisamba on 16th August 2025, beaten by an alleged mob at 22:00hrs and died at Kabwe General Hospital at 01:10hrs on 17th August 2025.
Maria Zaloumis, of Munyama Farms, (who leases this farm from the family of the late FAZ Vice President, Wilfred Collins Wonani,) is the daughter of Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) Board Chairperson, a key figure in the current governance and power in Zambia.
This case is already being interfered withas seen by details and cover-up attempts by authorities.
And you call this checks and balances?? Ba opposition ni marabishi chabe!!!
So, according to Emmanuel Mwamba,a property can only be intruded in the night after 18hrs
You can dance all your Sinjoonjos but you will never catch us by our tails. You are too infantiles to do so. Viva UPND, Viva your great works
mmmh. We won’t catch you?
The people of Zambia will catch you very soon..
I wondered why this fool never said anything on the kalomo farmers whose cattles were killed .We all know why this foolish analysis.
mmmh. We won’t catch you?
The people of Zambia will catch you very soon..
Honestly, this doesnot look good for Maria Zaloumis.
Any ordinary Mary would have been in the cooler by now. Justice, in this case, seems to be tip toeing for some reason.
It’s to let law enforcement agencies know that this one is a protected species.
Try to jump my fence,they will find your scattered brain. What was that boy doing in the first place on someone `s property? Let’s not glorify a thief we are not all pf Idiots.
Muamba/Mwamba you are from Tanzania. don’t qualify for any position in Zambia. Fortunately, it will never happen again. That Reg & passport you got fraudulently is making you to have a big head.Its time to put you where you belong.Thank Zambians that they have tolerated you this long regardless of your nationality which is Tanzania
Ba Musonda, who has convicted him of theft? The original story was he was hired to dump some chemical on Maria (which sounds a bit far fetched!).
Yes, he might have trespassed but the punishment amounts to overkill. The truth will finally come out.
