In the bustling city of Lusaka, a harrowing incident has left one man’s life irrevocably altered.
Abednego Katuka, a local resident, is currently grappling with the aftermath of a violent @ttack that occurred last month at the Church Road Flyover Bridge.
In a brutal act committed by a group of criminals, Mr. Katuka lost his manh00d, an event that has not only caused him physical trauma but has also plunged him into a deep emotional crisis.
Now receiving treatment at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH), Mr. Katuka’s condition has become a cause for concern among medical staff.
According to UTH Public Relations Officer, Natalie Mashikolo, the psychological impact of the attack is becoming increasingly evident.

“Mr. Katuka has begun to fully realize the extent of his injuries,” she explained. “This recognition has led him into a profound state of depression, where he struggles to accept what has happened to him.”
The trauma of his experience has manifested in troubling ways. Ms. Mashikolo noted that Mr. Katuka has been refusing to eat, a clear indicator of his emotional distress.
“He is not just dealing with physical pain; he is facing an enormous psychological burden as well,” she said. “Our staff is doing everything possible to support him, but his mental state is a significant challenge.”
In the weeks following the attack, the local community has rallied around Mr. Katuka, expressing shock and sympathy for his ordeal.
Conversations about the rising rates of violence and the need for better community protection have emerged as residents seek to understand how such an act could occur in their neighborhood.
As he lies in his hospital bed, the reality of his situation weighs heavily on him.
Friends and family members have been visiting, attempting to provide comfort and encouragement. Yet, the journey toward healing is proving to be a long and arduous one.
