Time will tell don’t be over joy!!!
Away with polarised rhetoric. let us focus on building Zambia. where is that nuclear research plant once more?
I hope the won’t be amnesty for thieves who amassed alot of taxpayers money. Or else the cycle of corruption will never end…
That’s the spirit bwana Edgar Lungu. Teach your peer in Malawi Peter Mutharika how he can learn to concede defeat because he is still in denial even after a year of losing elections.
Where is that fool Kaizer
Where is the criminal Kaizer

Anonymous, the lazy people like hatarino will always remain poor regardless of government change. Those upnd diasporans will remain the same even if their fellow tribesmen is in control because their laziness won’t change with a change of government.

I have just had my team unblock LT. Remember I am still cia1. You won’t manage to silence me. I have a lot of secrets about hh and upnd
We hope HH our president elect won’t get carried away with leaders from PF who are
Willing to work with him to cover their booty
Which they accumulated.
Anonymous – I never campaigned for UPND I campaigned for the removal of the corrupt govt and removal of the inept leadership of Lazy Lungu so I don’t deserve a seat in the cabinet. This is where PF got it all wrong as they placed everyone who criticised Lazy Lungu as opposition oblivious to the fact that they were side-lining half the population that just wanted their country back from cadres.
You will see less of me on LT now that Lazy Lungu’s myopic govt is gone but Hakainde will also undergone the same checks and balances should he fail to deliver on his promises.

The shameless UK based troll / impostor is still playing his childish games
Mukobeko should be expanded to house all the thieving criminals in the outgoing Lungu regime.KZ, CK ,Lungu & Co.
Thank you Your Excellency, President Edgar Lungu, for showing magnanimity in congratulation President-elect Hakainde Hichilema. HH, being the self-conceited and puffed up person he is, has never been known to have acknowledged the victory of President Sata and yourself in 2011, 2015 and 2016, respectively. But you have shown great statesmanship to the entire world by congratulating HH on his election victory.
Some are lapdogs, take the case of the blogger using the name Kaizar Zulu.
