Why is Patriotic Front (PF) Secretary General Davies Mwila making these announcements as if these PF related matters ….do these people know the difference between govt and party?
Only 40 people invited. It means not all 45 PF ministers are invited. please publish the names so we know which ministers have been automatically adopted in up coming elections.
The face of a dumb president
Who gives a damn what manner of masalamusi jump out of those crocodile Nilotica teeth tomorrow, forsake Chagwa!
Lusakatimes, how does president Lungu’s address to the nation is mixed up with Davies Mwila, he’s a waste of space. We wanted to hear more about covid-19 from president Lungu and how Dr Chilufya Chitalu was removed as covid-19 spokes person after a bust up with Dr Ng’andu minister of finance who insisted on accountability of funds.
Will he be subjected to questions after his address like other leaders are?
