Please take note that the ring abductor is a well known upnd cadre. We don’t need to say much. You thought those guys won elections genuinely? Coffins and charms.
That is why we fired the current inspector General. He is an incompetent man
FUESKE YOU LOST ACCEPT THE DISMISSAL OF PF LOOTERS
It is Ndola-Kitwe road or Kitwe – Chingola Road?
Can someone come up with the true story of this accident. this is confusing because the heading is telling us something to do with the Ndola Kitwe road but the accident happened along kitwe Chingola road. Where on earth? Come on guys try to report correctly or if you are not competent to report just keep quite or rather don’t write anything.
