What of mikalile?
*****. Why don’t you work hard to reach Mika’s level.
Id1ot. Why don’t you work hard to reach Mika’s level.
As usual the seizure will disappear overnight and the suspects will escape somehow. DEC is corrupt we ve seen this happening before.
That explains the wild nature of Zambians these days!!
thats right mr kudos, the evidence will disappear and the culprits will win the case coz of no evidence. i miss mukutulu sinyane.
All these political cadres are always high on chamba and other drugs….There must be big fish behind these traffickers. The drug money goes into politics…
THIS IS THE EFFECT OF CRIMINAL DUAL-CITIZENSHIP CLAUSE THAT CRIMINALS IN PF GOVERNMENT PROPOSED AND ENDORSED. WAIT FOR MORE SERIOUS CRIME IN ZAMBIA, ALL BROUGHT IN BY THE DUAL-CITIZENSHIP CLAUSE. ZAMBIA NEEDS HH TO PUT THINGS RIGHT. UPND TEAM SHOULD TAKE OVER FROM PF ON AUGUST 11.
You are an *****. Shut your ass.
marijuana is a great drug(I not supporting it ), because dagga smokers are slow and funny hahahaha. Cocaine traffickers should be shot. Start by shooting a foreigner and the local Zambians will get the message.
….and after sentencing these poor souls to Prison, Vodka Lungu will release them all again. Soon, they shall start all over again, what a circus…
DUALCITIZENNSHIP HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THS DRUG PROBLEM. HOW CAN ONE BE SO IGNORANT. TRAVEL THE WORLD AND UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING ,NOT KUVULA CHABE CHIKAMWA.
Have they been sentenced lol
