It is a common saying that nothing is new under the sun, and some occurrences make the statement ring true more than ever.

Most Africans being very superstitious people do not wish for death and also don’t take things concerning dying lightly.

In spite of that, a Zambian man, identified as Kafeero, faked the death of his son to the surprise of people.

According to a post shared on a Facebook page, The New Vision, the father announced the death of his son, identified as Junior, and residents gathered to mourn the loss as is the custom.
