Veep regrets failure by investors to help communities

1. Celtel is doing work in as far giving back to the communioty I have read nice things abouyt Celtel. Ba Banda you as government need to start helping the communities not mourning….

2. Whose responsibility is it to support the local community?.
   No law says businesses should donate some of their profits to the community. They are doing enough already by paying their taxes.

3. It’s not only foreign companies that are supposed to pay back to communities. ZCCM used to do so by sponsoring students for tertiary education, and sports. The only problem with MMD govt is that, it’s only concerned about the reduction of unemployment once investors come into the country and forgetting the role of “pay back to community” which is not to be done once when MMD chaps make a country tour, let it be a prerogative of any company whether foreign or local to pay back to community at any time rather than in presence of the veep.

5. Its GRZ’s responsibility to create social amenities for the people and not the companies. Companies are just there to supplement what the GRZ is doing. It shouldn’t be a condition to would be investors that they should automatically give back to communities. The companiese do so at their own gesture because they appreciate what the community does for the companies. Companies already gives back to communities by paying taxes and creating employment for the local people. The problem is Chuchu and his cloonies like Chitoba start abusing what these companies are giving back to the people.

6. #5 Kalembe Kafyuke you are being unfair to yourself. Go anywhere in this world a responsible firm contrbute to the community through social amenities. Why should it always be govt. Appreciate when a good gesture is made. Ba Joze nishe everythng nite kuya pa interz mupanga tea. This is good if all companies can be doing these. I would love to see even such firms contributin money to opharns and hospitals not always waiting for donation. Celtel this is a good marketing strategy pipo will recognise you.

7. The key is that Government should put it into legislation. The UK has Section 106 agreements and Section 278 that mandate such contributions legally.

8. Celtel is doing a commendable job by pumping some of their profits back into the community.Gov should realise though that it`s not any company`s responsibility to take care of the communities but the government.Mr VEEP,why do you think companies and individuals pay taxes to the gov?It`s certainly not for you to trot arround at such a high cost to the taxpayer presenting desks worth K20 million.All the gov needs to do is to rearrange it`s priorities and we`ll have communities to functinal levels.You have gov`s billions sitting idle in banks,CHITOBA helping himself to the loot or even worse still billions spent on unneccessary by elections and yet expect our education system to thrive.The bible even says that you reap what you sow.

   SATA SHOULD ALLOW DEMOCRACY TO FLOURISH – LUSAKA DEPUTY MAYOR

   LUSAKA City deputy mayor Charles Msiska has urged Patriotic Front (PF) president Michael Sata to allow his councillors handle local authority matters without undue influence from him (Sata).Meanwhile, the PF is seeking the help of Catholic Vicar General Rev. Fr Oliver Mukunta to trace ‘rebel’ PF members of parliament who said their president, Michael Sata, was a dictator.But Zambia Episcopal Conference (ZEC) spokesperson Fr Paul Samasumo said Radio Yatsani would protect its news sources.In an interview ahead of the civic year ending August and the mayoral elections that would be held thereafter, Msiska said it would be important for Sata to allow democracy to flourish, particularly in PF controlled councils. Msiska, who is PF Kabulonga Ward 16 councillor, said during the last mayoral elections, he contested the position of deputy mayor even though Sata preferred a lady for the position.However, Msiska said most PF councilors chose to uphold democracy by voting for him.He said he hoped Sata would allow democracy to flourish during the upcoming mayoral elections.“It’s my humble prayer that my president this time around will be more understanding over the prevailing circumstances and it’s my humble appeal that he will let the councillors handle their affairs without undue influence from him because by doing so, councillors will choose who is their best leader,” Msiska said. “My president preferred that there should be a woman on my position. At the last mayoral elections he told us that the deputy should go to a woman, Mary Phiri of Ngwerere Ward.”Msiska said he contested the position not because he disrespected Sata but because he believed that democracy should flourish.
   “Why I did that was to open the party because often times we have been accused that we are not democratic,” Msiska said. “There is a deliberate policy that there should be a man and woman for the position of mayor and deputy mayor but…it’s the question of people having confidence in you.”Msiska also disclosed that he would contest the position of mayor during the upcoming mayoral elections. Msiska was elected deputy mayor last month when he polled 18 votes against his closest rival Mary Phiri’s 14 votes.But when contacted for comment, Sata said he could not be reduced to answering what a councillor was talking about.“I was a councillor a long time ago in 1983, I can’t be answering what my councillor is talking about,” Sata said.However, Sata said he wanted Phiri for the position because he wants to ensure gender balance in the party.“You the media are the people making lots of noise on gender equality so when you have a female councillor, the only one for that matter, is it wrong to make her not even mayor but deputy mayor? PF has more women in Parliament than any other party. So we don’t talk, we act,” said Sata.
   Sata said his party’s position was that women should be given equal opportunity to men.
   “If we don’t do it when we are in the party, what about in government?” Sata asked.
   And according to a letter to the Vicar General and copied to Archbishop of Lusaka among others, PF lawyer Mathew Pikiti of Pikiti and Company stated that the members of parliament had threatened to resign. Some members of parliament from PF had threatened to resign from the party but before they could do so, they intend to go back to their constituencies to sensitise their constituents. Lusaka’s Catholic Radio station Yatsani carried the story on July 14th, 2007.”The news item was an allegation against Mr. M.C. Sata, president of Patriotic Front, that he is a dictator, who is concentrating on removing President Mwanawasa and ignoring the development in constituencies. Those alleged members of parliament threatened to resign from Patriotic Front but before they do so, they intended to go back to their constituencies to sensitise their constituents before they resign from the party,” stated Pikiti.”We have been instructed by the aforesaid party to approach you with a request that you undertake investigations to establish the names of the members of parliament who issued such a story for the integrity of the Catholic radio which must be factual and transparent as the Catholic church preaches.”But Fr Samasumo said Lusaka Archdiocese had since engaged lawyers to respond to Pikiti and Company.
   “Suffice to say that in its own investigations, Radio Yatsani will be guided by journalistic ethics which seek to protect its news sources,” he said.Fr Samasumo said the Vicar General was in possession of the letter addressed to him.Sources said there was agitation in PF because of the way Sata was bulldozing members of parliament and councillors.
   “He cannot be questioned, he is always right and most of us are beginning to feel he is more of a dictator than President Mwanawasa,” said one source.

10. EVIDENCE OF CORRUPTION
    HIGH COURT NULLIFIES NDOLA CENTRAL POLLS
    THE Ndola High Court has nullified the election result of Patriotic Front (PF) Ndola Central constituency member of Parliament (MP), Mark Mushili, on grounds that he contravened the Electoral Code of Conduct by orchestrating a scheme to buy voters.
    There was contrasting jubilation outside the High Court grounds soon after the judgment as PF supporters thought the judgment would be in their favour. The PF supporters, however, could not believe as they stood shocked in disbelief while MMD supporters went into a frenzy.PF supporters were waiting outside the court premises with a mock coffin covered in MMD chitenge with a placard reading: “In Loving Memory of Mary Zambezi, Born 1991, Died August 27, 2007; Cause of Death: Patriotic Front; Place of death: Ndola Central RIP.”However, after hearing the outcome, one of the PF supporters smashed the coffin and tore the MMD chitenge, prompting police officers that had been deployed at the request of assistant registrar of the High Court, Justina Makasa, to quickly move in to avert a clash between the two camps.This was in the case in which losing MMD candidate, Mary Zambezi, challenged the election of Mr Mushili after last year’s September 28 tripartite elections.Judge Munalula Lisimba said the petitioner had proved seven of the 15 grounds on which the petition was based.It had been proved that Mr Mushili had himself or through his known agents bribed and treated would-be voters.The court heard that during the run-up to the elections, Mr Mushili held meetings at different localities in Twapia, Hillcrest, Chipulukusu and Kansenshi townships where he distributed cash and feted would-be voters.Mr Mushili had also published false statements about Ms Zambezi, calling her a prostitute.“The first respondent committed the illegal act of publishing false statements. In our society, calling a woman a prostitute is tantamount to social debasement and hints at irresponsibility, which was destructive for a woman vying for an elective position,” Mr Lisimba said.

11. ‘MUNAILE WAS DULY ELECTED’

    THE Supreme Court in Lusaka yesterday upheld the High Court ruling that, Emmanuel Munaile was the duly elected member of Parliament (MP) for Malole Constituency in Northern Province.Supreme Court Judge, Sandson Silomba, sitting with Chief Justice Ernest Sakala, Deputy Chief Justice David Lewanika, Judges Florence Mumba and Lombe Chibesakunda, passed the judgement on grounds that the petition was not signed by the petitioner herself.This was in a case in which Patriotic Front (PF) losing candidate, Matildah Mutale, had appealed against a High Court judgment that rejected her petition for not personally signing it before filing it with the court.High Court Judge, Tamula Kakusa, dismissed the case early this year.”Our position is that the appeal has no merit and we reiterate our finding that section 96(2) as read with section 2(1) makes it mandatory for the petitioner to sign the petition personally under her or his hand before presenting it to the High Court for trial and determination.”Having come to the conclusion that it is mandatory for the petitioner to sign the petition personally, we find that section 96(3) is at par with section 98(3) and 101(1) of the same Act as the consequence of filing a petition that is not singed by the petitioner makes the petition misconceived.Judge Silomba stated that the Supreme Court agreed with the lower court on the decision to dismiss the petition and that it did nnot err in law when passing judgment.He noted that section 96(3) of the Act, was intended to discourage frivolous petitions and has to be signed by the petitioner in person.Ms Mutale, among other things sought to declare the election of Mr Munaile null and void, declare her as duly elected MP for Malole and therefore, entitled to take her seat in the National Assembly and enjoy all benefits due to that office.Mr Munaile’s lawyer, Mutakela Lisimba, had argued that it was a mandatory requirement that the petition is signed by the petitioner in person and not through her legal representative and that an adherence to the procedure provided by the Electoral Act was of utmost importance.Mr Lisimba also submitted that the omission by the petitioner in not signing the petition herself was so fatal that it rendered the petition dismissible in its current form for want of procedure.He contended that any effect in the petition could only be corrected within 30 days, the period stipulated for bringing the petition to court. Ms Mutale’s lawyer, Robert Simeza, argued that the issue that had arisen rested on a proper construction of section 96(3) of the Electoral Act.Mr Simeza contended that the petition signed by the petitioner through her counsel was properly signed as counsel did not have an existence or life independent from a client.He argued that although Parliament used the word “shall” in section 96(3) of Act, no consequences were prescribed of non-compliance hence signing by the petitioner in person was not mandatory or directory

12. THE Law Association of Zambia (LAZ) yesterday asked the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) to recommend the suspension of DEC Commissioner Ryan Chitoba and his deputy Jacob Koyi while investigating the financial scandal.

    And United Liberal Party (ULP) president Sakwiba Sikota has also called for the suspension of Chitoba and Koyi from duties pending the conclusion of investigations.

    LAZ president Elijah Banda yesterday said ACC should be mindful of the fact that the allegations against Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) commissioner Chitoba and Koyi were serious.

    Banda said ACC should not be restrained by the fact that it was investigating a sister law enforcement agency but rather conduct its work professionally.
    “In their exercise of their work, anything considered to be an interference, ACC has the powers to do something about it,” Banda said. “If the commission is aware of anything that is making it difficult to reach potential witnesses, they have the power to restrain the DEC Commissioner from any interference in the performance of their duties. As LAZ, we denounce any moves aimed at restraining the investigation and interference with potential witnesses.”
    He said the ACC should be aware that its had unrestrained powers to conduct thorough investigations.

    And Sikota said the spate of searches and arrests of officers of the DEC were matters of grave concern.

    He said there was a need to ensure that there was no ‘witch hunt’ at the institution.
    “The recent transfers and demotions at DEC by Chitoba raise a lot of questions. In view of the fact that prior to these spates of transfers, demotions, searches and arrests, investigations were instituted against Chitoba and his deputy, there is need to suspended him pending the conclusion of investigations,” he said.

    Sikota said the allegations against Chitoba were sufficiently grave.
    He said in order to ensure that there was no interference with possible witness and evidence, those facing allegations should be on suspension.

    “What is currently going on at DEC will not only demoralise the workforce but also reduce the public’s confidence in the institution,” said Sikota.

    ACC director general Nixon Banda on Friday expressed worry at the manner that Chitoba was transferring employees suspected to be whistle-blowers in the abuse of authority of office scandal.

    Addressing the press, Banda said the ACC was studying the matter to see how it could help. He said the reported transfer of DEC employees suspected to have been whistle blowers could have been an administrative matter.
    “The current ACC Act does not contain the provision for the protection of whistle blowers but there is an Act that provides for protection of potential witnesses,” Banda said.

    Banda also said that ACC could not at the moment recommend whether Chitoba should be sent on forced leave or not.
    ACC recently started investigating Chitoba and Koyi for abuse of office involving

13. Good companies do plow into the community some of their profits. Schools like University of Zambia and the Copperbelt University would have not been closing down each year due to conflicts over staff salaries or student fees if some local and foreign companies were pumping some money into them rather than just leaving the corrupt government administrations and overseas aid to be the only source for funding.

    Individual well to do Zambians including professional sports men and women are also supposed to be helping out. Sadly despite being paid thousands of dollars as soccer coach or technical director and Faz president, our own Kalusha Bwalya doesn’t seem to have plowed some of his dollars or kwachas into community projects. I doubt whether he has ever or will ever start a Foundation to help the poor in our communities.

14. Sakwiba Sikota you are killing the legal system in Zambia.Recently you said Katele should remain in office until proved guilty or innocent. Now you see where you are heading to. How can the law take its course when your battle is selected. Stop making the country un managable. IF the DEC head and deputy have an offence, they have to step aside to allow invetigations

15. #14 EASY.You`ve raised a very good about the double standards of these unprincipled and weak minded individuals like SAKI who only want to feed their insatiable appetite for power.These are the points we`ve been raising for a long time that this fight against corruption shouldn`t be selective.People do remember that VJ was amongst individuals that benefited from the Zamtrop account but when LPM realised that he needed someone to do some donkey work for him,then VJ`s charges were suddenly dropped and brought back to the inner circle of bootlickers.If for eg. Mabenge today is mis or even quorted as having said anything against LPM,within 24 hours he would be locked up for theft he`s been shielded against all this time.With the same passion we have in denouncing the wrongs that FTJ did,let`s flow with that and speak out against LPM,CHITOBA,MABENGE,KATELE,MULYATA and anyone else who is caught up in this web of deceipt.

16. Chapi,
    Your head is full of rubbish. No wonder your dreams are only for blogs void of destiny.What has LPM done that is corrupt in your foul head? Do you expect him to be impulsively acting on press reporters and trolls specialized in framing him daily for news sale? Investigation wings work with procedures and they establish facts in their own time. If the President starts acting on the press articles without the validation of the OOP and other security wings how many people MMD hates will be hurt? You know that Gays have an insatiable hatred and always abuse their opportunity of feeding unsuspecting readers with cooked news.

17. Meant to say :how many people M’membe and his trollups hate will be hurt in the absence of procedures?

18. #16 SHACINDE.Was the Supreme court also trying to sell papers when they found MABENGE to to have stollen public funds and yet being protected by LPM?Learn to be objective in your analysis.

19. Mudala joze atishani…taumoneka..? lets meet/….

20. #20 Chapi As much as I agree with you LPM is a laywer and he is very clever in his dealings. He knows that the courts should work independently which up to now they have failed. The Judge was not supposed to refer the case of Mabenge to any othe authority but to net the punishment. We should try to look both sides of the coin. I tell you if the president had intervened today all of us we would have pointing fingers at him. The court are weak they have to make a stand when making judgment. There is no provison in the Laws of Zambia where the its say the head of state can punish offenders alas his progressive of mercy. This is very clear. Look at Chiluba the president asked him to back the money but the man refused. What do you is this case you let the law take its cause. #17 in some countries they have newspaper with 4 letters and they are untouchable they can say anything about everyone including politicans. The politicians are most of shareholders of the POST. Sata is one of them.

21. ctd..VJ, late Bodwin Nkumbula are the founder of the POST you they know very well that they are benefiting either way the news goes. Remember Bad news sells better it can spread like fire. Look at this Linda compoun woman one man was asking me how he meet him he want to interview her and write a book about her life this white person.

22. Ask pilz who are the Shareholders of the POST? You will be surprised. Maybe kuku can shed more light on this one.

23. #20 EASY.Do you think that the arresting authorities don`t just want to carry out the Supreme Court`s ruling against MABENGE or there`s some undue pressure from higher offices to leave him alone?If the ruling was against you or myself my brother,we could have been in Chimbokaila by now and that`s were I seem to have problems with LPM.Where I give CREDIT to LPM is that we`re even able to discuss such a topic and that signifies that we`re heading in the right direction but much needs to done.On the issue of the POST,we realise that it`s a privately owned newspaper and needs to make a profit for it to sustain itself.Whoever owns some shares in it can`t complain about the marketing strategy employed because of the hundsome return on such an investment.Do I totally agree with the kind of witch hunt they carry out and certainly the answer is NO but one can not deny the fact that the keep the gov in check especially realising how disjointed the opposition is in Zambia.

24. Shapi,
    It is very clear that you have a retarded brain making you propagate things from a point of stunning ignorance and irrationality. Even your foolish and unfoundated hatred for Levy is stinking synonymous with your President Sata known for his unproductive self defeating stone age politics. Your stupidity and mental sickness is just beyond reproach. Surely it would be honorable to expose your foul mouth if you first understood the Court ruling on Hon. Mabenga or the existing legal proceeding before the high court of Zambia between Transparency Zambia and Hon. Mabenga. It very clear that you have been propagating from what M’membe peddled in the post but not the court judgment. You don’t even understand the due process of the law not even at basic level hence irrationally dragging the institution of a democratic Presidency in court matters. What kind of a public affairs pundit are you so clueless? Go read the High Court ruling and come back here from a point of information than hearsy. For long, you have foolishly labored to give a human face and redeem those Luapula thieves by stupidly and ignorance irregularly comparing the Mabenga case to your fellow criminals that unabatedly raped our country beyond reproach for 10 traceable years. May the blood and souls of our parents, siblings and fellow country people killed for standing up against those criminals be on your head. May the spirits of our dead retirees, the sick and poor Zambians denied means of survival move against your lineage to the last soul. May every US $10,000 stolen from Zambians’ copper and cobalt sales by the criminals you are defending cost you the blessing of a child in your household.

25. #24 SHACINDE.I think what has just shocked you is to find a Zambian like me who are principled and incorruptable and are able to speak out against corruption irrespective of who`s involved.Check the archives and you`ll realise that I `ve spared no one in my rebuke against this evil,be it FTJ,SATA,KATELE,LPM,MABENGE,CHITOBA,MULYATA or any of the the individuals that are caught in this web.Pertaining you cursing me,I ask that the Almighty God richly bless you and may he give you an increase in your life that no devil from hell will ever stop.May you also boldly go way no man has gone before and accomplish things that people just think about and make you a mark on this generation that can never ever be erassed.

26. #23 Chapi I think every person has second chance once he accepts and apologise his wrong doing.
    Zambian Defence Minister Loses Post Over “Corrupt Poll”
    The Times newspaper in Zambia reports that “Zambian politician Michael Mabenga lost his position as Defence Minister yesterday after the Supreme Court nullified his election to Parliament over corrupt activities during campaigning”. Due to these revelations, the Mulobezi constituency seat was declared vacant by Judge Dennis Chirwa, pending by-elections. “Mabenga won the 2001 general election, but the runner up candidate, Sikota Wina of the opposition United Parties, petitioned the court to nullify the vote. “Mabenga was then found guilty of using government vehicles, medicines, and constituency development funds for his campaign”, Chirwa said in his judgement.

27. “, Chirwa said in his judgement. Chirwa said “the court would have recommended that Mabenga be arrested and prosecuted for criminal activities but had refrained from taking such harsh action”. Since this ruling “the supreme court has also nulllified another set held by Blackson Mwaba of the ruling Movement for Multi-party Democracy because of irriegularities in his campaign.

28. Shapi,
    I don’t look forward to any form of blessings from a defender of evil doers you have proved yourself to be. Right here you have wasted more than enough of your precious time. You have been condemning and uselessly laboring to intimidate the gallant men and women who have sacrificed much in revisiting the criminal acts from the past and present regimes. To you following up the evil that has killed this nation has been tribal vindictiveness and something leadership should never prevail for fear of precedence. Good and sincere leadership is suppose to do just exactly what has been initiated to set a spirit of accountability and transparency and not the rubbish Sata was making of amnesty to plunders without retribulation. What the country is pursuing today is not like the Kaunda personal Books humiliation which with your Chiluba you subjected KK to over a 12 hours straight search and denial of benefits plus accommodation for 8 years including assassinations on the old man and his family. The current campaign is what Zambia deserves considering that it is based moral precedence and spirit of accountability in public duty never initiated before. Today, serving leaders are being exposed with due cover-ups or dismissals without public information as it were. That is a perfect attribute to Good Governance and transparency. Since when did you ever access the AG report in Zambia if not under Levy since independence? Multilateral and bilateral contracted obligations are all matters of public domains. In all the 10 wasted years of plunders, assassinations, moral pervasion and economic sabotage, you had your hypocrisy to see them as normal but when the law is having its way, to you Levy is responsible. Its like you are alien to separation of powers when the truth is your hypocrisy has take precedence. I either have respect or take any blessing from such an immoral dupe you are. On the Mabenga issue not supporting him, I have long noticed your failure to read or grasp the High Court ruling including the litigations before the courts between the man and TZ. Lastly don’t belabor to bring yourself a human face that yours has been a sincere denigration across the public affairs board. I have dully gone through your remarks made in about 25 posts here and your platform has all the evidence of some amoral inclination.

29. Today, serving leaders are being exposed without due cover-ups or dismissals. Public information as it were is everywhere. That is a perfect attribute to Good Governance and transparency our hopes are being built on.

30. Shapi,
    Your hypocrisy has been exposed. You have been mute on Mark Mushili (PF MP) Ndola Central seat nullification. Mute on Peter Machungwa (PF MP)Luapula Central for his role in the BOZ ZK 2 Billion scum and Sata’s immoral role of handling and distributing of the same stolen ZK 2 Billion from BOZ at Mulungushi Rock of Authority MMD 3rd term convention. You are mute on Sata’s matchet slashing spree on the anti third term crusaders. All these are criminal acts with evidence to prosecute and bar convicts from ever entering public life. But as it were your double standards have failed to condemn Levy for not sending them stinging bees for their past. Yet you are singing 24/7 that LPM has not irregularly crossed his executive lines to force the Judiciary arrest Mabenga for ploughing the ZK 27 into his constituency though he didn’t go to spend it on 100 shoes to bump up his already tall height. Cheap hypocrisy, hypocrisy, hypocrisy, hypocrisy, hypocrisy and hypocrisy. Zambia’s future is not on hypocrites but brave, consistent, objective, knowledgeable and of a moderate persona.

31. #30 Pragmatist,Veteran,Paparazzi,Patron and now Shacinde.Kindly read my posting on the topic “MWANAWASA ACCEPTS LORD CAIRNS` APOLOGY” number62 and THE ORIGINAL PUNDIT`s comment on number 63.

32. #30 Please join me in speaking out against such evil acts perpetrated by Machungwa,SATA and let`s fight and make sure LPM returns the land he grabbed from UNZA.For the resent PF nullification that`s a job well done by the courts and I hope that future elections will not be characterised by such illegal things.I don`t know why you`ve kept ignoring such a call I`ve been making about a new generation of politics.The problem I`ve noticed on this blog is that if someone detects something wrong in LPM or the MMD, then he should be TRIBAL or part of the opposition.Why can we just have a paradym shift and tackle issues objectively for the betterment of mother Zambia.If we can`t even be objective on the blog then it would be folly to expect objectivity in Parliament.Let`s try and rise above anything petty and make sure we shape our nation into a place that our kids and grand children would be proud to be a part of.

33. Its simple and straight forward, i wonder why the VP can complain, Zambia is said to be a safe heaven . They are not strings attached when you came and invest as a foreigner so whay is the VP complaining. In Ghana when investors invest in a chiefdom the chiefs are paid royalties and they plough back in community by providing schools , healthcare and other social amenities. we dont specify in our terms when our investors take over so why should we complain????

37. In developed economies there are tax incentives for expenses on social responsibility expenditure.If we had similar incentives within our tax regime you would see greater participation by both local and foreign investors.I stand to be corrected, but this is lacking in Zambia and we should petition Govt. to include this provision in the existing tax laws.Ba Shapi, as much as your concerns about Chapi’s contributions are noted the venom with which you have addressed the issue is inconsistent with the spirit of accomodating diverse thinking and views.Please appreciate the reconciliatory approach in his replies.let us not get personal but maintain intellectual objectivity.I quote from your earlier posting: ” May every US $10,000 stolen from Zambians’ copper and cobalt sales by the criminals you are defending cost you the blessing of a child in your household.” Ba Shapi,honestly,is that a fair comment from a man of your obvious intellect??
