This website needs serious maintenance like Zambian roads…I mean everything is in disrepair, even simple thumbs up and down doesn’t work properly once you mark down you cant change, replying to a comment is none existent, the website is so porous with virus that company and institutional firewalls deny it access.
Wake you LT Editor…you say you have admins around the world..if that is true then they should be ashamed of themselves to oversee such a substandard platform with such flaws. Look at your colleagues at Nyasatimes.com their website is crisp, no glitches straightforward comments platform.
Uyoyange bwino bwino Kaongolo ka Nyambe! But this current Litunga loyalty has presided over an era of less Lozi political vigilance and he chose corruption over returning Barotseland to full autonomy, even while remaining party of marriage with Zambia as enshrined in the BA’64 document. There was an opportunity and he missed it big time, choosing to go against his own people.
By the way this is kind of a really short notice which makes difficult for potential international travelers to travel. You should be announcing a year before with a caveat that it may be canceled depending on weather.
