Debt doesn’t just strain your wallet; it changes your brain. It raises cortisol (stress hormone), disrupts sleep, and triggers the same neural pathways as physical pain. This makes it harder to focus, plan, or even open bills—which leads to more debt. It’s a vicious cycle.

The stats are stark: People with unmanageable debt are 3x more likely to have depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts.

KABWE TEACHER K*LLS SELF OVER DEBT

By Tafwa Chikomeni

A teacher of Kabwe Sh*tima Secondary School has taken her own life over a huge amount of debt owed to different people, police and the DEBS office confirmed.

Ms Lucy Konkola, aged 34, a teacher of English and Religious Education, ended her life after one of the people she owed allegedly threatened to make her go viral as a scammer.

Before the act, she invited her mother to Kabwe. However, the mother found the door to the house wide open and her daughter unconscious, while the house smelt of a suspected poisonous substance. She rushed the daughter to the hospital where she was pronounced dead on arrival.

Kabwe DEBS Inonge Mulemwa has expressed sadness over Konkola’s death and advised teachers to seek counsel whenever in debts they are unable to pay.

The Sh*tima school administration also confirmed the death in a post on their Facebook.

“It is with profound sadness that the Sh*tima Secondary School family announces the passing of our beloved colleague, Ms. Konkola Lucy. Ms. Konkola was a jovial, dedicated, and committed educator whose passion for teaching and genuine care for her learners touched many lives. Her contribution to our school community will be remembered with deep appreciation,” it stated.

“On behalf of the School Administration, members of staff, learners, parents, and the wider Sh*tima family, we extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time. May the Almighty grant them strength and comfort, and may her soul rest in eternal peace.”

A child who walks into class hungry is not just hungry. They are fighting to focus while their stomach hurts. They see friends with books, uniforms, and lunch, and they learn early what it means to lack. Poverty teaches shame before it teaches mathematics. Some are forced to leave school and work, carrying adult problems with small hands... James Amon
