It is Bembas fighting over nshima.
@1.1 Iwe chi Mitchie, just condemn the father to his violent temper instead of bringing in your tribal nonsense. Did you hear about the man who defiled his own daughter so that his cattle could multiply? Evil is everywhere my friend.
to the contrary it is a bemba man living in choma who beat his bemba son to death. another one hacked his daughter to death in mpika
Be serious bafipe,a life has been lost
GOD WHERE ARE U FATHER
I know the guy. We called him bashimule. He used to sale shoes downtown Choma and he was a soccer fanatic. He made a terrible mistake killing his son for nothing. Now he will face the consequences.
Why is the son not bearing his father’s surname? Could he be his step beast Father? Whatever this murderer deserves hanging.
