Good for you chimbwi!!
Kabwalala uyu
He thought he could decieve everyone ike he decieved the pipo of Nchanga in 2006. Likewise, hes been foundout and taught a lesson.
Suits him well!
Crook Chale, you thot MMD will protect you?
Chimumbwa is yet to be found guilty. However, is the case why he left PF or what?
Bubumbwa!!
Charlie deeerves it. The guy wanted to get rich and influential quickly such that he even turned against his friends. Its obvious the chap was promised a lot by the new deal. I remember at one time he embarrassed the entire PF party when he came in full support of the Kafue river pollution saga. Where as everyone was concerned the bastard was totally off track. Now time has come and the chap has been exposed. Worse off his lawyer was not even in court as he was busy elsewhere attending to very important matters. That shows that Ba guy is bloke. As politicians we should always avoid taking people for granted. Charlie ‘s case is a very good lesson to everyone in the opposition. Learn you asses
No one is above the law? who knew that FJT would be on trial? cheers……? in nyanja we say, ” masiku sakooma onse.”…days are numbered.

Too bad you are caught,i regard your move as best cause u never targeted zambians,Its high time we started teaching these foreigners some lessons.Why in the first place do some dirty deals,which enables them get away without paying tax.All they want is quick money out of cheap labour.Both of you have reaped what you sowed.I hope you have no family,cause alwayz they are the victims of the crimes we commit.
Undertaker,Gdef says dont use insults,show some respect in your opinion otherwise you will never be allowed to comment.
Chimumbwa more woes are yet to befall u traitor!!
Yes, No one is above the law. America does not break the law, and neither should you, nor your Chinese loving Magistrates. Chinese are for making cheap lead tainted toys for American children to eat, not for terrorist actions like breaking the law.
If you break the law, you will be invaded by all America’s military might
( except by my daughters and her friends and my friends and friends of my friends and relatives of my friends and friends of Dick and his lesbian daughter and friends of lesbians and friends of friends mentioned above etc.)
So if you are approached and are asked to break the law for 35 thousand dollars – you just laugh in their face and send them my way.
I think that is the price you pay when you think you are smarter than everbody. Humbleness and patience pays. Trust me!
