PF will not give up power just like that. And especially not their incompetent leader Edgar China Lungu. He said that he won’t concede, that’s bad enough?
Well, Zambia doesn’t belong to LUNGU and we sure aren’t a monarchy. Lungu isn’t our king.
The people have spoken and he will leave whether he likes it or not
Na na na na hey hey hey goooood bye ??
We are waiting for the final results
We are calm waiting for the results of this year’s elections.
In a country like Zambia institutions will kick into gear at this stage if concession doesn’t seem to be forthcoming. I have my confidence in that. No one person can burn up the entire country — not Zed.
@Kalok #6. Do you want to cut off from Zambia? Who will follow you there? Are you talking about Barotse?
Best wishes and thanks for displaying you freedom of expression, choice and speech.
Where is Kaizar Zulu.? Can someone please tell me where he is. He needs to be here. Kaizar you are not going to hide. This is your time to come out and insult us. We have endured your insults for the last 5 years. We are here now waiting for you. We will see what this Lusaka times/of alliance always biased against the opposition.
