The grammar of the report is so poor
Mangande’ s funeral could have been dignified if it was healed in his village. Not these funerals of Lusaka where a widow has chance to take shower 3 times a day!! And the food is from catered, pizzas and spaghetti!!
What truly dignifies a funeral,is it to bury someone at his or her village,I doubt that.
Indeed Magande was patriot. Few days before his demise, he made an important revelation to the nation about the loans by some individuals that are still sitting at DBZ. They’ve decided to liquidate DBZ in the same manner they did Lima Bank. Today Nawakwi is in Court accused of abduction because of her revelations on Lima Bank. One day God will answer our prayers and expose them for what they are. Fare you well Ng’andu Magande
Nawakwi is one of the major DB Z debtors.
Nostradamus, swallow saliva. These are modern days. In those days, it was umuchushisha- human mistreatment of mukafwilwa.
Crocodile tears from hh. This cow hh is bust terrorising opposition yet he wants to show like he cares. He only cares for himself. Fuseke
Chicarla iwe
kikiki PF is its own enemy Does not the infighting not state such
I will stop anyone who tries to stop PF from cannibalising and destroying themselves. Kalya-Nyoko Kaizer Zulu and his party deserve to be in Chimbokaila for taking Zambia from being the debt-free country the best finance minister, Ng’andu Magande, made it to become to the hopeless and helplessly indebted country that these tribalists have made it become. PF found Zambia with almose zero in debt, and with their thieving mentality, the looted the $3.8 billion it had in reserves, and then saddled with an unpayable $31 billion in debt. Kalya-Nyoko Kaizer Zulu should be a kaili in Chimbokaila for this.
Tiye uko Kaizer chicarla
Bamayee bako
