The bad deeds outweighs the good deeds.And in a scenerio like this pipo fail 2 appreciate.
I hope they have done a proper investigation and environmental check on the canals – the zambezi is being depleted of water due to over use of water in the basin ….soon the rest of zambia will suffer the consequences of these actions
