Lusaka Times please improve the articles. So many English syntax errors and mispellings in many artcicles. You first line reads:
“Police yesterday charged and arrested five more suspects persons in connection to the Northmead Secondary School incident…”
I am an IT Pro but I think it should be ‘inconnection with’ not ‘in connection to, see below:
In connection ‘with’
In relation ‘to’
Please make our Lusaka Times better by raising it’s quality, proof-reading can iron out many mistakes.
They are the equivalent of bush mechanics, self-taught journalists. You can’t go through a reputable school of journalism and still manage to rape and strangle the queens language the way LT does.
@dot.com,
Please don’t be like LT, your spelling of ‘articles’ is wrong.
Other street kids bane
The assailants are from Kabanana, Marapodi, Chipata compound etc……NOT from North mead, Kabulonga, Woodlands……poor neighbourhoods…………hired?……ignorant of what politics is all about……Solution=high ranking leaders to stop using them to do their dirty == educate them on basics of civics, politics and multi-party. Opposition parties or opposing views within the party are not a sign for a fight. It is normal. Infact, that is what politics is all about. You can differ but still be friends.
One of them is a Councilor in Mandevu
But who gives these *****s permits,transport,good bail conditions,lawyers,venues…etc
