  4. Chiluba went there too to seekcharms for hi supposedly doggy heart but the Nigerian paramount Sangoma told him he should stop feigning sickness and be man enough to face the judicial music.

  5. How could these pigs be so fat when the entire nation is struggling with post malnutrition? Especially the slumbering Shikapwanya, look at his lurking “chilufomo”, kwati ni nsofu! Maybe it was him whi bewitched Bonshe so that he can inherit Regina Bonshe.
