From a person who exchanged Cambridge to Zambridge above amounts to apology?
KK the dictator of 27 years.
My friend please come up with something new. This dictator broken record is now very old. At least say something to support your dictator claim other than one party state.
@142,Skeleton,gono,
For someone who gave free education( pre-school to university) to every Zambian during his reign, KK is surely the best ‘dictator’ we have ever had! Most current politicians benefitted from KK’s education policy. What you see him do is nothing new! He has always supported education.Those of us old enough to remember it can attest to KK’s educational credentials. If it was not for KK’s free education, I do not know where I could be today.If you are one of these young ones, please do not comment about what you do not know! Long live KK and God bless you.
