Well done. Keep up the good work.
Well done for encouraging your fellow Zambian. Question: and your username?
Well done bro. When you started your “yo” stuff, I said to myself, this boy is insane who’d buy this stuff in Zed. You said your eyes were set for the intl market not just Zambia. Now there you are. Iam ashamed to have doubted a visionary, a pioneer, an innovator. All of us arm-chair critics, scare-crows and scared failures, let us reposition our comments/views and support new ideas, new ways of doing things. Get out of your box!
Just keep doing you. Every show presents unknown opportunities :)
Continue with the same spirit
Good Mr Crisis
