  4. If we go through the facebook page of Hichilema, we will see that most of his posts are related to the Holy Bible. He thinks that we are dull who will believe his fakery.

  5. I think the most vulgar language is used on the social media platform. Without checking the authenticity of the news, people just bust out in anger at the government.
