      So many people in the entourage, it’s like where him be, there money be, Always telling the opposition that its not yet campaign time, that video is showing people driving vehicles so excitedly like a campaign procession.

    • In Zambia the government kills and only compensation is 3 bags of meallie meal at funeral home.
      The family deserves a base payment calculated like this:
      – How many years the girl was expected to live, multiplied by her ambition average earning. Plus what the government insurance is covered for, which is commonly $1 million life coverage.

    • It’s kind worthless when I say E.C.Lungu ni chimbwi but ok since he worse than intalangani. The beloved country is track going to waste because of his corrupt worthless leadership. I wish sickness in 2020.

    • But why was it necessary to distribute Chitenges on the road, who authorised the distribution and why on the road? It is mind boggling to say the least, where were the Police. I think the responsible person should be held accountable. Just saying sorry will not deter other people doing the same in future

  1. This moron uses 30 vehicles in his motorcade (Ambulance included like a dictator) as if he is US President who is a marked man on top of that there is a police officer dispatched from Lusaka to cover every junction on this route from the airport, this is the cost of Lungu’s working visits very weekend.

      I agree,if the president will be making unproductive tours of the country,literally every week,even when he jnows the country is broke,these are the results. Lusaka people maybe aware about presidential motorcade,those in far flung areas may not be.So apart from wasting resources these are some of the consequences, why he fails to work in State House while insisting that he deserves another 5 years beats me.The man is totally lost,no sense of presence,nor is he showing any leadership nor statesmanship.

    • Imagine he is in Solwezi for what? To commission a Solar Plant something that a Provincial Minister can do, last week he was in Choma other week he was in NP commissioning a house. All this is wasting money driving around rural areas where people have ox driven carts.

    • Head Mistress – What does a humble man look like? Certainly not like Lungu who has amassed so much loot within a short space of time. All those cars are just for intimidation from the UNIP era of KK

  2. Was it a police vehicle alone or part of the presidential motorcade as we hear? Half truths, this is wht leads to fake news in social media. And clearly it is only fake news when seen from the purveyors of half truths?
    And I hear social medi is already claiming that the residents were scampering fro some PF chitenges thrown out of one of the cars in ths motorcade, no names mentioned to avoid being sued. But it is one of those making media headlines recently? Truth will come out. But can we avoid these motorcade please, they are too much. Please work in your offices and stay away from public roads as much as possible.

  3. …or better still let’s build VVVIP lanes on selected roads. Yes of course, I mean when we have paid our national debt .. kikikikiki
    My condolences to an innocent young woman. MHSRIEP.

    • You are sorry for what you mukula thief, the ka worst president on earth, AKA scatter rotten teeth, kawlala uyu

  6. PF 2021 will be sonta abowaipaya.
    I wish if every wellmeaningful Zambian will realize what PF has done is Sonta banga abo waipaya, (point at how many you have killed
    , with matchets, guns, hit by motorcade, hunger, unemployement a list is long)

  7. And killing an innocent bystander, someone’s daughter, mother, and possibly wife just to see a solar plant. This is the first time he is saddened after silently killing several poor people with his motorcade. He needs to learn how to share the road, we all entitled to share the road and not be killed for doing it. Where is Zambian citizen and cadres to support their supreme leader turning his motorcade into a killing apparatus.

  9. But luli Zambia ki Christian Nation, even their president is always doning a praying posture! It will be interesting to see whether this man will land in heaven, or hell. And I will put my bet on the latter destination, Kiku nyela baize.
