l wouldnt cross the road top listen to him
I and many others will listen to President Rupiah Bwezani Banda, president of all Zambians, he is so refreshing compared to Mr Sata and Mr Mmembe combined and multiplied many times.
@ KATIE GOODIE are you retarded or you just lack parental care..?how does SATA come into the story which says RB goes to the CB to campaign? Sometimes i wonder,if somebody who is able to read and write(use the internet) thinks like you,how about the villagers who vote for the MMD??That country is a disgrace,its leaders,its educated citizens are very shallow.I think we better give back the country to the BRITISH let them continue from where they left.How can a country with so many minerals,still be under those levels of poverty..?I give up.
He is going to say bye to the people and will never go back there… VIVA PF.
Hey, read the Post and see the interaction Mmembe had with ACC. Mmembe is the man
I keep saying it KATIE GOODIE and the like cant walk,eat or sleep without seeing Sata and Mmeebe.How pathetic!!!!
Pathetic timing! All this is just to hoodwink voters. Look at the state of roads on the CB. This is where 90% of Zambia’s wealth comes from but the towns look like war zones. Abash cheap politics. Am waiting for 20 Sept 2011 so that we kick out RB and his stooges!
Abash PF. Hoodwinking voters is part of the game. Whether you like it or come 20th September RB and MMD will go through. PF cadre you have tp work extra overtime to make a few votes on the Copperbelt.
Thank you Mr.President,appreciation will be shown to you on September ,20.But my plea to you is PLEASE DON’T JUST GRADE THE ROADS,OTHERWISE,DUST WILL KILL US.PLEASE HAVE THEM TARRED BEFORE SEPT,20. The problem we have is the contractors are merely grading road after road,thereafter do nothing over the dust CREATED! People are saying THIS MAY JUST BE A CAMPAIGN GIMMICK, the graded roads will not be tarred but abandoned after the elections.So,please do something NOW.
