A 46-year-old teacher at Maguya Day Secondary School in Chipata District, Zambia, has allegedly committed suicide by ingesting an unknown poisonous substance.
Panford Mweetwa, who had recently been transferred from Nsanjika Day Secondary School to Maguya, left behind a note expressing his frustration. In the note, he stated that despite working very hard, he had nothing to show for his efforts. He also provided instructions on how his money should be distributed.
The incident occurred on Wednesday, July 3, 2024, at the Mwami turn-off.
Eastern Province Police Deputy Commanding Officer Stephen Mayoko confirmed the incident to the media on Friday, July 5. He explained that Mweetwa had told his wife he was going into Chipata town. However, around 10 PM, Mweetwa was found unconscious.
He was rushed to Katandala Clinic for treatment and later referred to another hospital where he was admitted. While receiving treatment, Mweetwa, who was able to speak, revealed that he had consumed an unknown poisonous liquid to end his life. He passed away the same day.
His body remains in the mortuary awaiting burial.
