Mayor of the Zambian capital, Lusaka, has become the butt of social media trolls after he was photographed sleeping in public.<\/p>\n

The photo which showed Wilson Kalumba, 53, in what was a deep sleep went viral on Zambia\u2019s social media scene \u2013 Facebook and Twitter especially.<\/p>\n

The photo has sparked social media debate as a number of people are already calling for his impeachment. Others have mocked him for having nothing to do hence choosing to sleep at a public event.<\/p>\n

It has gone as far as people questioning why the ruling Patriotic Front chose him as their candidate for the role at a time when a former First Lady, Maureem Mwanawasa, had also vied for the same post.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The 53-year-old has been championing a number of unpopular decisions with respect to running Lusaka.<\/p>\n

He is on record to have asked for all demolition of all airtime vending kiosks, deducting talk-time credits to cater for garbage collection and proposing cremation to decongest graveyards.<\/p>\n
