How do they sue before the investigations are concluded, just wait for the full report do not rush bwana request and Garry this is and investigation discovery it takes time.
how do know who is involved before investigations are completed
u are right let them give u time to do ur work.afterwards they can now start sueing each other.
We are well aware that the young man was sacrificed by the people who are campaigning there. Some ritual of some kind.
the pf cadres killed the boy since he took up the jobs they wanted..favours form Obvious..hahahah..watch the space..they will not arrest anyone..
Solomon u know it is Wynter and Mwaliteta who were making careless statements and correctly quoted by their best friend mmembe and the past newspaper.
Why are u beating about the bush????
Time and again the PF acts like police spokesmen/women hence we dont see the difference.
Your are very Right my Brother, Solomon is a coward, he knows verey very well who the nose makers are.The post has written and printed Millions of copies with Kabimba’s statement.Rubbish.
Solomon is now a marionette
Once he was a promising person now awe MWe
This is what KK UNIP propagandists used to behave like Mmembe & Kabimba! Tell lies even when UNIP leaders were involved in ritual Satanism
This wont be taken away from PF for the rest of their lives! Thye are a satanic political party full of practicing satanist. You can just imagine since the time of the great Satanist Dictator KK who brought his Indians satanist & wanted to build HEAVEN ON EARTH just to win 1991 elections! Zambians refused!
Kaunda was a practicing Satanist & every household in Zambia knew that KK was a satanist. No one no matter what will ever take the satanist tag from KK! He killed a lot of Zambians & a lot of Zambians died in mysterious ritual satanic circumstances just as it is currently under another satanist PF Sata’s govt!
Job well done.
But there was a report that he was hit by a vehicle now they change and say investigation. Postmotam shod that da guy was hit by car
why is police telling people that?,,tell that mwaliteta first
Ba kapola, pse tell Winter and Obvious to stop finger pointing. Don`t generalise pse.
They are just covering Mwaliteta the chief suspect. That ws clear murder case
Why would they sacrifice someone now when it never happened in the more crucial general elections in 2011
Who told you it never happened then?
Start by writing warning letter to Minister of Prejudice, Dishonorable Wynter Kabimba
the police are becoming disgruntled and confused Katanga says something and Jere says another mwaonekela
jere be direct mwaliteta mmembe and kabimba are the ones who have been pointing fingers at people.jere pf will not be in power forever.remember you owe your services to every zambian whether they are in the ruling party or opposition.you are a civil servant you should be non partisan
