Students at Copperbelt University in Zambia are mourning the death of Mafishi, a fish that lived in a pond at the country's second-biggest university. For the last two decades CBU students have believed the fish would bring them good luck in exams. The president of Copperbelt University's Students Union, Lawrence Kasonde, has been telling the Âé¶¹Éç's Bola Mosuro about why Mafishi meant so much to the students there.
