Man Commits Suicide In Zambia After Telling Friends He Was Going To Take His Life But They Laughed It Off As A Bad Joke

Zambian young man identified as
Mpanjilwa Mulwanda hanged himself on
July 24.


His death is currently trending on
Zambia Social Media.



According to multiple Facebook sources,
during a chat with his friends on Friday,
July 21, he made it known that he was
going to take his life but they all laughed it
off.



Infact some even encouraged him to
do it.



Read a post by a concerned Zambian,

Simon Freeman, below..

"I never knew Mpanjilwa Mulwanda
personally but after learning what
transpired, seemed he mentioned taking
his life to his friends who took it as a joke
& probably never talked him out as much
as they should have.




I know how
friendship is but anyway, one thing this
has personally taught me is we should
learn to encourage love amongst
ourselves.

You never know what people are going
through & just a few encouraging words
from you could be what would stop
someone from doing something
unimaginable, we really need more wise &
encouraging people for a better
tomorrow.

It's so unfortunate the brother
is gone & nothing can be done about that
but we can definitely avoid more incidents
like this by loving one another more than
expressing hate all in trying to seem like a
star.
R.I.P Mpanjilwa"


Another Zambian Facebook user, Joseph
Kamfwa called on the police to arrest
those friends who encouraged him to
take his his life.

"ZAMBIA POLICE
Do people a favor- arrest and question all
those kids who were pushing their friend
to commit suicide. They are as guilty as
someone charged with 2nd degree
murder.
It's high time Zambians learned
limits to conversation"
