Chizy Metal. So in Rural Zambia there is talent. I’m mindful and Of-course some of the pupils come from the line of rail. Well done Chizy Inshimbi.
The Prize money for the winner is a token and ok though small but under the circumstance maybe and just maybe. . But the runner up must have been paid something in cash as well. To cover Transport and logistic on top of the paint.

Yea where is Siza? I remember we had Tutu Nyalugwe too, Yohane Tembo. Thiose were great days. DK was untouchable with those guys.

Chizz Mentals!!! Go boys Go!! reminds me of my days at Chizz doing my thing in the Debate club. Well done and continue making us proud boys.
Well done boys for giving the girls a beating in the competition! I used to enjoy debate between boys and girls more because of the intensity of emotions on both sides.
Better luck next time, girls! At least you’re not getting youself into the up and downs of school life that add up to nothing and only bring female students down. Education is the key that opens the door to a better world.
