Zambia Police Service Spokesperson wrongly linked to assault by media reports

False

In a statement accessed by iVerfy Zambia, the Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Information and Media (MIM) , Mr. Thabo Kawana, clarified that information going round on different social media platforms suggesting that the Zambia Police Spokesperson, Mr. Rae Hamoonga, beat his wife and is facing arrest was false. The police officer reported to Mtendere Police Station is Ray Moonga, not Mr. Rae Hamoonga. The Ministry further urged the public to only rely on credible sources of information to avoid circulating false narratives.
