Who is paying for the Helicopter rides….?

People don’t learn from the past. Mayo the day is coming soon when you will have to account where you got that money from…. Take it easy, people are advising you in good faith. You will even remember the market stand you were selling rape from in Chawama.

  @Engineer. I think it is cheaper to fly to Itezitedzi than use 5 land cruisers. Beside, if in car the Edgar’s wife will be forced to give away her 25 bags of sugar and 10 blankets on the way, before reaching destination.

  And who is paying for these trips?? That is the question.
- Kabimba September 7, 2015 At 3:04 pm
  
  Who was paying for Vera Chiluba, Maureen Mwanawasa and Kaseba Sata…… the answer is the same.

  @Kabimba
  
  Times have changed. The was money in the bank then and we have woken up to stop people miss using our little resources left. Where did Vera Chiluba, Maureen and Kaseba fly by helicopter on a weekly basis?

  Lovely, truly Zambian pictures!
  
  I feel sorry for wealthy Zambians who pay money to die in dingy hospital rooms in South Africa. Why not invest that money in health care at home?
  
  Good job Esther. Ignorant losers will always hate and pass third world comments.

  @Mushota… Panji thought Mushota was passing by, so he went down on his knee

Whether you know who is funding her trips or not you can do nothing to change the situation. The best is you just keep quiet as your abandoned mother in the village is receiving tandizo.

chiwamila galu kuluma mbuzi…..
who was paying for Kaseba, Vera & Moreen!

I like the sand in WP. Very clean too than garbage Lusaka. I wish Mr Ngoma well at Morningside. But these admissions in South Africa are just too much. It is either Morningside or MillPark. PF is a pathetic failed party and Zambia has become a failed state though the opening of embassy is a positive move

@Mushota, Haven’t you heard that every knee shall bow, as in pic 3?
Mwepo September 7, 2015 At 10:22 pm

@JEVIK ASYCUDA Phiri, The problem is that these are the same people who vote in Zambia and you would be surprised that they will be voting for this same PF government come 2016.

I think it’s time quit this pretentious BS of kneeling when most don’t mean it.

Why does Emmanuel Mwamba always have the same sheit face expression like he is taking a massive dump.
