BRILLIANT PROPOSAL CHIEF MWATA. BUT LUNGU AND HIS PF GOVERNMENT CANNOT DO IT. THEIR HEADS ARE PREOCCUPIED ONLY TO LOOT AND ENRICH THEMSELVES. ONLY HH AND UPND CAN CARRY OUT SUCH AN UNDERTAKING. TRUTH IS, LUNGU HAS LOST GROUND, PEOPLE ARE FED UP OF HIS LIES AND HIS EVIL DEEDS OF KILLING THE ZAMBIAN PEOPLE ON THE BASIS OF POLITICS, THE FIRST EVER ZAMBIAN PRESIDENT TO INTRODUCE POLITICAL VIOLENCE AND KILLINGS AFTER INDEPENDENCE. ZAMBIANS HAVE REJECTED LUNGU BECAUSE GOD HAS REJECTED HIM. WE WANT HH AND HIS UPND TEAM TO LEAD OUR COUNTRY TO HIGHER GROUNDS, TO PROSPERITY, TO UNITY, TO LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER. LUNGU HAS DIVIDED OUR COUNTRY. LUNGU HAS PREACHED TRIBALISM AND HATE. LUNGU IS DESPERATE FOR POWER.NEXT WEEK THURSDAY, LET US ALL VOTE FOR CHANGE. VOTE FOR HH AND THE UPND TEAM.

That guy, Paul Kanyembo is a very good man who has become a very good Mwata Kazembe and understands issues. Having worked with him at ZANACO, I can assure you that the guy knows a lot of staff. He is also a very social guy, whom I drank with after work in Grand Bar or Corner Bar.
Ba truth is so bitter take a chill pill. Where do you gate your bitterness from. Negativity is so bad for your health. I feel sorry for the people around you. A reminder @Truth your demi god cares less about poor people and development. With all his hairs and graces who has kalusa helped?? Look at the likes of Dogote, you can easly see that they are concerned about Zambia and Africa. You shall know them by their fruits so what fruits does hh bear. He cant even make a difference in the beef market despite being the second largest seller of the same! The fruits we see is just him eneiching himself that is why he cant even explain where he got is so called wealth when he was given an opportunity to do so. His fruits is also to undervalue the country’s assets all to his benefits so what…
