This is not news, we want to hear about the containment of the crime rate especially in Lusaka, yesterday thieves stole a number of valuables from a car parked at city market and another parked at Munali round about. There is just too much crime with very little being done to stop it. Everyday people are crying by loosing valuables
Yes, the crime rate is just too high in the country. It just needs proper Police intelligence detection of these thieves and not that equipment which was bought. Dangle incentives for people to give information, ordinarily information should be voluntary from the public but since this is not happening, work out something, if this is not stopped, we will be marching towards SA crime rate and towards Zimbabwe as an economy. No two ways about it
Give us the regional breakdown.
So far only PF strongholds have the highest number of registered. Anyway, not everyone with an NRC is going to vote, but this is really worrying.
Something Zambians should diligently think about and Investigate are the rantings of Tito Mboweni .
Let us all be sober and fully understand the issue with the minister of a foreign nation to involve himself in another sovereign state.
Is Zambia another province of South Africa!
Is Zambia a colonised state by south Africa is Zambia surrendered to South Africa.
What is Mboweni trying to indicate to us is the opposing party calling foreign powers to bring confusion in Zambia.
Is Kampyongo ready for Tito Mbokeni ?
so ama 16 year old in luapula and northern same same number with the towns in Copperbelt?
