Hi everyone, I’m 25 (female) now, but my mum passed away back in 2004 when I was very young. Growing up, my younger brother and I were left with nothing not even a piece of her clothing, a photograph, or a keepsake to remember her by. At the time, we were kids, so we had no idea what was happening or how things were handled.
Recently, I found out some very unsettling information: a cousin from her side of the family somehow ended up with my mum’s old bank card. It’s brought up a lot of painful questions and made me realize I have no idea what actually happened to her estate, her belongings, or any assets she might have had.
I am not looking for money or trying to start a massive family war. I just want answers, closure, and maybe even a few small mementos of my mum for me and my brother.
For anyone who has been through something similar or knows the legal side of things:
1. How do I go about finding out if a will was ever filed or if probate was opened after she passed in 2004?
2. If someone took or kept assets (like bank accounts or personal property) without distributing them to her legal next-of-kin (her children), what are our rights, even this many years later?
3. Where can I start looking for official records regarding her estate?
Any advice or guidance on how to navigate this gently would mean the world. Thank you.

Most of us don't know where or how to safely buy gadgets in Lusaka. I realized this while helping someone here who got scammed.

So let's crowdsource it:

Got scammed (or nearly)? What happened, and what red flag did you miss?

I got my NRC a few years ago, I was proud to officially be a citizen of this country. (Go to the next paragraph to skip my yapping) Fast forward to this year I'm trying to get a new sim from Zamtel, I thought the person registering made a mistake by putting my middle name as my first but apparently the order was wrong (well that's what he told me). I honestly thought my Airtel sim was registered with a mistake (because only my middle name appeared + my surname) but I was like "they already have my NRC number and anyway that should be ok"

Is the order Surname, First name then Middle name at the end and I would like to change my signature when I go to replace my NRC (lost) is there a particular process I'm supposed to follow to change my signature?

simply that, do you guys like the wigs? or its just part of the uniform?

Realistically, how much does rural land cost within Lusaka or nearby areas like Chongwe, kafue?

I see plenty of sketchy posts on Facebook but I'm not trusting any of the stuff I see.

Anybody that bought land and has proper documentation from necessary governing systems, no issues over the years?

Just for context, I’m not deaf but I’m interested in learning sign language and just want to know if there’s an an actual community in Zambia or if there’s a place people go to learn ASL or SASL in Zambia. I haven’t seen much content about it on social media besides the ZNBC interpreters but I’d really like any information you could share about this or even someone who’s privately learnt and what the experience has been like if you actively use it here.

Is anyone going for job expo that's being held at showgrounds on Friday?

Anyone here that has lost a good amount of weight? What worked for you in terms of diet? Did you cut on nshima etc?

I haven't checked out the place yet, but I'm hoping one of you guys have been there. What was your experience like? Were the prices reasonable for a student? And would you recommend it for a coffee date? I have an incoming coffee date. Further recommendations must be within the premises of the mall, thanks.

Greetings, anyone know where I can get water tested for microbes in Lusaka? I’m suspecting the water source at home might be contaminated.

Thanks in advance
