Wise and responsible thing to do. Even me I am trying to have virtual socials with my friends
Crowed at Davie Zambia, the musician’s, funeral was too much. That was more than a festival, his funeral gathered more citizen than PF rally. Good job to the musicians.
Have Zoom parties, I will be in attendance lol
@Kaizar Zulu that’s my response to you above
Nostra, from your comment, I can see that you have not visited Zambia since unip days. You clearly have not been to a pf rally. What is even more disgusting though is the fact that you are politicising the death of an innocent young man
