what is the problem with our mothers pa zed
The agony of the drug-trafficking scourge iz that some people very cloze to thoze that are arrested succeed in the same business and live lavishly thereafter.Â
BANDA again, what is wrong with your president’s family? #1 Ask their father Banda.
Yangwe bane ! Ala bana mayo nabasebana pa zed.Anyway ndye ziko…some are messing up,some are messing up and some getting messed up.What are messed up world we live in.
#3, I don’t think the lady is a relation of the President. Drug trafficking should be fought tooth and nail. Unfortunately it is only the drug mules who end up in jail or facing the death sentence leaving the master minds like our well known Mr Hussein and Mr Mandrax enjoying themselves.
Recently, in Eastern province, there was a spate of drug-related arrests including some inside Malawi of some Lundazi or Chadiza guys. Could it just be that the Banda’s (quote Easterners) have now discovered what it means to travel for a profit? But since they do not know the ropes they will be arrested en masse and overtake the alleged ‘traditional’ culprits by far… Just a thought.
Catherine is Rupiah’s niece by his brother
Nubian Nubian iwe waipeza kuti kani iyo hahahahaha!! good one though
It was just a matter of time that our ngoni relatives would pick up a vice from their Bemba cousins. This has to be stopped now, Miyanda for president. The only person wise and strong enough to get the national service warrants to fight domestic terrorists and not only grow cabbages and paprika.
