yo first comment shows how dull u are,is it an offence to transport mealie meal to chililabombwe? it only becomes questionable as the situation stands now! where are papers allowing the driver to cross the border.so dont just look at one side of the coin,most of us police officers doing fine are always offended by these childish coments about some corrupt dfficers.
danny mwaba,
its you who is dull here.
how can you transport 1,200 bags of mealie meal from kitwe to chililabombwe at night without papers?
of course if we had vigilant and not corrupt police officers at all these check points, the driver would have been grilled right here in the province and not at the border.
the contraband without papers, was just too much not to have raised eyebrows at these check points.
If the police were corrupt,they would not have impounded the truck in the first place!
Let them export the mealie meal it will bring in forex
Is it not GBM’s truck?
