  1. Ba president, learn to delegate so you can spend time on the drawing board planning other development projects. I forgot that you are stuborn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. Ushumfwa afingi! napatunono tomfwa! mulemona kwati amatwi yalya paliefyo yachita?! Tatulanda ifingi! Nibanione anione! Delegation tabasambilila! if is a company ngayaliwa! Ngefi inkoloko ilepenapena, inshita yataya, ichashalako kufwa!

  3. Ukwalola umwela,eko ba lola na bo.I wish he wud pay the miners that money he wil use 4 lunch.Ati job creation!!C’est de n’emporte quoi!

  4. Guys this is what is called symbolism. Remember the smelter was built by the chinese. In this modern global village no one ignores the chinese. Thats why even a certain Cobra has toned down on his antchinese stance. I agrre he needs to spend more time on his desk than he currently seems to be doing but I would give an exception on this one. For crying aloud I cant see why he has no fired Konga and his PS. this fuel situation is a national scandal and embarssment. How can you have a Government that does not monitor the situation of such a startegic commodity. havent they heard of how much reserves of oil America stores?
