Bamuka Yama ichongo too much, that laughter isn’t sex any-longer.
O’Yeah – After you leave plot 1, we will make sure you pay back the $5m your husband has put in the Commercial Bank of China – Account, in Hong-Kong.
Mama – smile while it lasts.
This one is a useless first lady. The sister will be the first casualty to loose the diplomatic job after 2016. We have lot of career diplomats in the streets without jobs, yet her unqualified nurse and dull sister of hers is the new ambassador in turkey. What a disgrace…
State house is filling up with money and certificates. Husband increasing his salary like no man’s business while wife is busy piling up certificates. Tell your husband to bring better health delivery to the people which he promised us….always sneaking out of the country, twanaka naimwe bapompwe
Does she suffer from nauseating perpetual smiling syndrome?
Smiler Chigamba !!
Zambians would honour her better if she told her lying, deceitful and lazy husband not to increase his and his bloated cabinet of 74 PFools’ salaries and his induced money gobbling by elections when we have no medicines in hospitals and children are dying from preventable diseases.
do you even understand how the salary increament procedure works? have you ever heard of any MP including opposition protesting??
Dr ‘Cervix’ Kaseba has been collecting awards for dubious achievements since her husband assumed power. Suddenly she has become a top perfromer worthy of variuos accolades ! Real achievements are attained without the support of and sponsorship by the highest office in the land. These sudden awards are clearly not supported by any meaningful and impactful work done by Dr ‘Cervix ‘ Kaseba. These accolades are rather State House engineered . I can assure you Dr Nkandu Luo has done more and deserves more awards than Dr ‘ Cervix’.
A force to reckon with, thats what you are Docter!
What a laughter! I am told in a convent girls are taught how a woman should talk, walk and even laugh. I am sure she is not an ex convent woman.
Has anyone ever seen her with her mouth shut? Hers is always agape, not quite normal.
That’s is the reason she doesn’t visit Zambian compounds otherwise lunshi wa green ni straight ku larynx
The issue here is that our first lady has been recognised and will be given an award in recognition of her hard work, if you need to comment, comment in that line. she has done us proud.
