A video captures Zambians in Ndola joyfully scrambling to grab sacks of items from a fallen truck. This scene is common in Africa, but why does it seem acceptable? What drives such actions? My concern is that the owner of these goods might be a private business owner, and this could have a serious negative impact on their livelihood. This doesn’t feel right at all. Citizens need to be sensitized on the consequences and repercussions of such acts. Watch the video and share your thoughts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaHiSsrEpcU 2 Likes 1 Share

This is Zambian business and just a way to click bait on your YouTube page which I will not do but for you to say this is common in Africa, let me reply with this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MS5C38kayWI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnru2z7Ljz4 It is common EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD. It is not everything you can see online but if you read widely, you will see it in different countries of the world. The camera is why you are seeing this one. You better be happy for law and order because once it breaks down, human beings will return to their primal behavior. Don't forget, we are still animals by nature. 18 Likes 4 Shares |

It's not just an African thing. A bullion van fell in the US some years ago and people rushed to grab cash from it. In fact, this has happened many times in the US, the first incident that I remember occurred around 1998. 22 Likes 3 Shares |

Humans..... toluleke:Very true, erode both dignity and common logic, because for example: why will someone see a fallen petrol tanker and start running towards it with a keg, instead of doing the direct opposite. 3 Likes 1 Share |

On a Serious note we'll all blame poverty for this! But it just shows how we all lack morals when it matters. Christianity is the official religion of Zambia as about 96% of the country is Christian. The probablity that all those who are stealing those bags would have used those same hands to carry Bible last Sunday is one! Hypocrites! As you dey carry that bag you fit slip and die! Then you died stealing! Same get rich by force or die trying attitude! If na Nigeria now na Tinubu cause am! 3 Likes 1 Share |
