Very funny .. How will this rubber nose “grace” a press freedom event when he has been a disgrace to press freedom. He has been threatening to close radio stations which are playing campaign message meanwhile RB’s programs under Chanda Chimba III are being aired. What rubbish will he say to us? This guy like Mpombo rightly said just cares about food on the table, politics of the belly and licking RBs balls sorry I mean heels …
Thank God it was the girl from Chipata- Anjela Chifire who graced the meeting….Amen
This is like inviting Hitler to Britain’s celebration of D Day.
