A young Zambian man identified as Mpanjilwa Mulwanda, who committed suicide by hanging himself on July 24, barely days after making a joke about it on Facebook.
His death is currently trending on Zambia Social Media and 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.
He posted a photo with a rope tied around his neck and his tongue out as he posed for a selfie, but friends thought he was just goofing around.
A concerned Zambian, Simon Freeman, wrote on his death, he said:
“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”
See screenshots of some of the posts and photos he made on Facebook before taking his life.
His final post on Facebook, which was on Monday, 24th of July reads ‘FIN’ which is a french word for END. !

The question still remains the same: What could have happened that lead to this young man taking his own life?
NOW WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW IS THIS:
Your tomorrow is far more better, beautiful and glorious than your present today. So nor matter the challenges,difficulties or presure u are passing through today, don't let it lead to you giving up on your self and your beautiful tomorrow because you will always have the opportunity to be better than this.
Don't let people's feelings or view of you diminish you,makes you feel you are not what it or you can't amount to some thing good. Don't ever find your self being unhappy or feeling sorry for your self because of what somebody said or the way he or her talked to you. OTHERS OPINION OF YOU DONT COUNT BECAUSE THEIR OPINION IS NOT THE REAL YOU,YOU CAN ALWAYS BE BETTER THAN THEIR OPINION. Dnt let any one talk you down. Even if it is medical situation don't feel sad you can always have a miracle,there is always room for a second chance.
Don't ever get to an extend of you taking your life infact don't even think about it,dnt allow such a thought in your mind,guide your heart with all delligence that is what the bible said. Your life is tooooo precious to be ended
Live your life,enjoy it,enjoy the journey of your life,always b happy nor matter what,surround your self with people that inspire you in the right direction. Learn to love others and have good opinions of others even if they don't do same to you it doesn't matter. Be your self any where,any time and any day remember it is your life so live it to the full and if you want to have greater advantage live it in Christ Jesus it is only him that can give you that inner peace that even you can not explain but you wil be rest assure that every thing is working together for your good

Thanks for the message, I think it's clear to love yourself cause no one is worth your death.
He doesnt believe in the existence of GOD ALMIGHTY THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE,Alas the devil got a hold of him,no matter what you are going through GOD is bigger than all your worries and tribulations.Always put JESUS first
Its no only poverty that kill, offer joy also kill sometimes. Its higly abnormal take your life by yourself nomatter what happen.
Tragic.
Yea,we should learn how to use our fingers and tongues, his friends might have saved him.
And sometimes, we claim to be a man of our words. God help us
I concur with detycoo, God first!
This is terribly sad. I don't know if this is another casualty of art or Facebook-style social media culture. Obviously the young man was in a bad place, and needed help and love. Speaking as someone who has lived with depressed people, know that if you're struggling there is help. There are good reasons to go on living. Condolences to the young man's family. Peace.
