Lusaka Puns

Looking to celebrate my wedding anniversary with my husband soon. How much would it cost to have a good venue for about 150 people?

Have a look at this Hyperlapse of Lusaka at night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_Zg01Sh7-0

What would be a better elevation model for Zambia, apart from SRTM 30 M, free or commercial?

Hello,

I'm moving to Lusaka and looking for a decent combat sports gym. It could be either Boxing/MMA/Muay Thai. There is no big difference in discipline. What I prefer is somewhat experienced trainers and a good team.

The Governor Of Northern Rhodesia Sir Gilbert Rennie To The Colonial Office

In the aftermath of the 1948 General Election the Governor has contacted the Colonial Office sending the following communique

"Having met with Colonial Minister Roy Welensky I am writing to inform the Colonial office of the current situation. Mr Welensky is along with all 20 members of the Legislative Council in favor of continuing on the path which began with the creation of his new office. With this in mind they have advised me of their belief that the next logical step for the colony is the move to responsible government and the drafting of a constitution. In addition the council has advised me of their support for the creation of a Northern Rhodesian Defence Force...With this I am writing to London to discuss these developments and the way forward that is to be taken. With a democratic mandate from an election there is a mandate for responsible government which further adds urgency to considering this issue."

A special thanks to u/moondog151 who actually showed this case to me, and originally got in touch to suggest making a video about it.

The definition of a serial killer is as follows: A person who murders three or more people over a period of more than thirty days, with an inactive period between each murder, and whose motivation for killing is largely based on psychological gratification.

Many murderers have been categorised by this description over the years, with the likes of Jack The Ripper and Ted Bundy going down in history as some of the most notorious to have ever lived. There is, however, one man who holds the horrific world record for claiming the most victims in a shorter period of time than any serial killer before or since, and it’s likely that you’ve never even heard of him. This is the story of The Lusaka Strangler, Zambia’s world record serial killer.

On January 5th 1980, an anonymous call was made to the Central Lusaka Police Station in Zambia to report the discovery of a dead body lying in the playing field behind the Lusaka Boys Primary School. When police arrived, they found the corpse of a woman who was already in a semi-decomposed state. As a result, it was not possible to specify the exact cause of death, but one thing they could determine was that the woman must have been murdered elsewhere and later moved to her current location. The woman was identified as being Grace Siambilu, a 21 year old woman who had travelled from Sinazongwe to Lusaka to deliver a letter to her brother. She was due to travel to Kitwe to attend an interview at the Zambian Institute of Technology, but sadly this opportunity was taken away from her by the hands of a murderer.

Police initially had no leads to who the killer could be, and they would soon find out that this wasn’t to be a one off. The next day, on January 6th, the body of another dead woman would be found lying by a footpath off Chitukuko Road. The police determined that the unidentified woman, who had been strangled, must have been murdered where she was found, as there were scattered beads found a few metres from the body, alluding to the fact that the killer committed the cri
