Ni Edgar lungu fye chapwa bane,ewutulefwaya
I totally agree!!!! Eddiggah!!!!!!
I love Mama Wina. She is as humble and kind as was her late husband Arthur Wina, my boss in 80s. I wish her to take over presidency in 2021 when President Lungu retires.

Zambians have moved away from having ancient politicians for their Presidents. Arthur Wina was your boss in the 80’s but this is 2015. Your preferred generation will never rule Zambia ever again!
