    • These are both private companies. For HH to go there it simply means that he has been invited. It’s that simple. I do not know why you seem to dislike this.

  3. Ba Pompi don’t b spooked the president hs no future plan(s) for this nation. Now he’s jst a tourist, he can’t address the nation on real issues affecting the nation since he took power. He hs made wrong moves ad there pressing on the poor Zambians mostly. All election messages were lies ad nothing hs worked. So ku bafye pa tour. Awee very disappointing.

  5. Actually Kaizar Zulu just fantasizes. Regina doe not even exist. Regina was a young Zimbabwean from Mandevu who was admiring. But suddenly left Kaiza Zulu to enter into a polygamy life with an 60 year old polygamist.

  6. Is he going to see the poverty he left on the copperbelt through the thefts beboomde and letter by PF . Let them enjoy the money they gained to the sufferings of the people on the Copperbelt. Very soon our party UNIP shall bounce back to power like what happened in Malawi. To Seve us from this monsters.

  7. Mr Matambo said the President will open a manufacturing company. Is it the reporter or is it Matambo who has made the mistake? Mr Hichilema is coming to commission the opening or officiate the opening. It’s not his company.
