Little is known about Lemekhani Nyirenda’s short life of just 23 years, apart from the two most dramatic events. One dates from April 2020, when the student, who was studying to become an engineer with the help of a scholarship in Russia, was sentenced to 9.5 years in Moscow for violating drug laws.
But just over two and a half years later, on September 22, the young man died in Ukraine, apparently at the front – a circumstance of which Zambia’s authorities were only informed a few days ago.
The South African country’s foreign ministry said on Monday it had asked Russia “to urgently provide information on how a Zambian citizen serving a sentence in Moscow could have been recruited to fight in Ukraine and lost his life there.”
