  1. I’m sure the lazy bum Edgar can not wait to jump on the Challenger as sitting in State House and sorting out the economy is too challenging an issue he would rather mingle with foreigner delegations and talk about nothing!!

  2. He doesn’t even mingle, he would have learnt a thing or two on how to run a country.
    Instead the moment he checks in he walks straight to the cabinet for jameson.
    While he is on his bottle Amos & Kaizer are busy fixing the next trip.

  3. The wife is with Litunga in the Nalikwanda attending late ‘kuomboka’ while he is away in Botswana? We have gone through this before and we insist the first lady flies to Botswana too. No National Chair lady again.
    My worry is that he is either campaigning or flying to neighboring countries. Bring some left over electricity in the dog bag Mr President.

  4. Kamwendo munjila, he can not stay in his own country for a week, it’s because , we are pounding him us bloggers for not performing, he wants to take refuge I other countries, he should also learn how Bostwana takes care cleaning their country, compared to Lusaka city looks like missis compound, next you here him to say, he is coming to New York, to do what! He cannot even ready, your president at it its best, ours is coming!!!!!

  5. Sadc and African Union presidents have meetings every often with nothing to show for it. Just a gathering of empty tins and tinpot dictators.
