The 2016 voter’s register audit findings have shown that 132,837 voters on the voter’s register are sharing National Registration Card numbers while 2,555 people shared NRC numbers, names and dates of birth.

The audit has not been able to show evidence to support the allegations of inclusion of suspected foreigners in the provisional register of voters because all the registration records have associated NRC numbers that conforms to the legal requirement.

The auditors however did not rule out the fact that it is possible for the Electoral Commission to register foreign nationals.The Commission has since invited political parties to inspect the provisional register and identify any non-Zambians who are on the list.

As a result of that call, two people have since been taken off the register.

The Electoral Commission of Zambia engaged external consultants from Kenya lead by Dismas Ong’ando who started working on the 5th of June up to 5th July this year.

And the audit has revealed that 492 people shared nearly full registration details with some variations on gender and district code on NRC number.

It has also established that 1,697,762 people representing 32 percent of the registered voters were added to the register as new voters while 142,383 were ineligible to vote and have been removed from the voter’s register.

This was disclosed during a stakeholders meeting in Lusaka organised by the Electoral Commission of Zambia.

Meanwhile, ECZ Chairperson Esau Chulu also disclosed that the register audit key findings show that there is no evidence that foreigners were added to the 2016 voter’s register.

Justice Chulu emphasised that the audit of the voter’s register was done transparently by foreign independent auditors between 5th June and 5th July 2016.

He said the ECZ has established that the existing penalties on election offences are inadequate with no penalties specifically related to the offence of multiple voter registrations.

He said the commission has since written to the Department of National Registration, Passports and Citizenship requesting for death records of citizens that were of voting age at the time of death.The Commission also wrote to the National Pensions Scheme Authority last month requesting for the records of citizens that were of voting age at the time of death.

NAPSA has since replied to the Commission which is also analysing and processing the date availed to it.

Team leader Mr. Ong’ondi is a qualified Information Security Management Business Continuity Management IT Governance and was trained at the University of Nairobi, in Kenya.

  1. Those figures are probably from Nega Nega. But the big question is why is the desperate Kaponya (HH) still trying to cause Armageddon, chaos, upheavals, violence and mayhem with his friends Gay Scott Mmembe Inc? Desperate scared little men

    • Get a Job. You know? Something about earning a living?
      Zambians are fed up of continuing to pay for your louse existence on earth, get a job & start doing something productive with your life. Shame on your miserable life!

    • I don’t see any use of making those Kenyans instant millionaires just to be fuuuuking on Syambikula’s registers. What are those numbers for? Why bring thugs to come and disclose that the primary school teachers who have been registering voters like duplicating numbers? Whats wrong with errors?
      I think problem will only arise when people show up to vote with no card at all.

    • Kudos, start planning for a life outside that job you got based on connections with the ruling party.

    • Nostradamus, or whatever? Grow up mate. Audits of electoral systems is standard practice. There are many reasons it is done including purging the dead, removing duplicates that may occur because of people relocating say from Kitwe to Lusaka. Also note that in the case of this audit there are duplicate NRCs, whose reason may well be that there are weaknesses in the NRC process. The benefit clearly is that voter registration process itself can be improved and its integrity assured.

    • First foreigners that should be removed from the voter’s register are Guy and Charlotte Scott and the likes of Dipak, the Kristaffers and chi Dante Saunders hopeless cretins they all are…

    • I now know why UPND keeps losing.
      You can’t keep insulting people who don’t support you when you know those who support you are few – how do you hope to increase the number? Those you insult they cannot move to join you after receiving your insults.
      Last time you said those who voted for PF were not thinking, and you go to them this time to ask for their vote, after your insult they should pay you a vote for that? No way.
      This is the reason why UPND will not gain the required numbers.

    • FRANK BWALYA EXPOSED!!! Source: UPND USA Facebook
      Posted on July 13, 2016 by kachemakontolola

      Many have wondered what the fallen Priest has been up to lately as he has gone extremely silent from the public. Well, we caught up with the former priest and found him doing exactly what we thought he was doing…that crook of a man!
      Bwalya is distributing money in Muchinga Province and getting people’s voters cards in exchange. He has been doing this rigging scheme for a long time now and he has promised Lungu of a landslide Victory in the area.
      The program is so organised that the State has dedicated a helicopter for all his errands to allow him touch the remotest areas so as to bribe as many as possible. This is the method Bwalya used in Luwingu district, he has done this fraud before…

    • before and is confident it will work again.
      Bwalya is lodged at Tazama guest house with the bill being footed by OUR tax payers money!
      Lungu has gone a step further to bribe Chief Nkula by buying him a brand new VX on top of his salary increment. This gesture has ONLY been shown to Chief Nkula, who is also receiving huge allowances from Frank Bwalya, all at the expense of his subjects.
      Why hasn’t Lungu bought for all Chiefs??
      The same chief has been allocated 60 truck loads of Mukula tree to export. This sounds small but 60 truck loads of this tree amounts to billions of Kwacha…tax free!!!
      The PF are having a fair share of the mukula tree in his area. They have employed boys chopping trees who are paid k45,000 per truck load, now guess how much Bwalya is syphoning from this…

    • this illegal trade without even paying a single coin in taxes. All the excess money is channelled for PF campaigns.
      Lungu is corrupting youths and chiefs together all in his bid to win…it is shameful indeed!
      Bwalya is doing nothing but littering stolen money all over. This is what the former priest has been doing in his silence. He is bribing, stealing, buying voters cards and preaching hate among the people.

      Lungu is fully aware of how Zambia is being defrauded, but he supports that…what a shame indeed. What a leader!

    • How on earth can you get somebody from Kenya to audit the register? I would understand if it was someone from Botswana or maybe South Africa. Kenya is very very high on the corruption index.

  2. The bigger question is how did ECZ manage to have 132,837 voters on the voter’s register share National Registration Card numbers while 2,555 people shared NRC numbers, names and dates of birth. What was their intention if not to steal the votes? can PF or UPND answer this?

    • 2555 is nothing naimwe. Even HH don’t know exact number of his cows, even if he tags them.
      You are paying billions of that weak Kwacha to those Kenyans crooks, just for 2,555 what ever is for.

    • It can’t necessarily be ECZ’s fault. Home affairs is very incompetent. They do at times give ids with the same details to two or three people. They are never audited like ECZ so you won’t know. The ECZ’s more stringent process is bound to expose such flaws

    • But you know that this practice was extended to adoption certificates by UPND where per constituency they were duplicating certificates!

  3. Pf govt has No faith in zambians and yet they want us to vote for them.Everything pf engages foreigners ,instead of engaging the locals who will use the paid fees back to our economy.thats one thing i admire american govt system,we empower our pipo thru borrowed money and tax companies and its employees thru this we payback the loans and our people remain in employment and companies starts expanding.

  4. Mr Kudos, As usual your comment is irrelevant and misplaced and only continues your vile hatred for HH and the Tonga people.

    Can you kindly and sensibly explain how you relate HH and Neganega to the audit report? It is worrying how some human beings choose to lead a life filled with nothing but hatred for people who have done them no wrong. It boggles the mind how you Mr Kudos instead of intelligently commenting on the facts and figures detailed in the audit report you prefer to expose your diminished levels of thinking. Your picture sums it up so well. Your hatred is such that you even hate yourself. Leave HH and the Tonga people alone and if you don’t mind tell us a bit about yourself and your tribe, please!

    • As someone has aptly advised the guy needs a job. Funny how he was the first to comment and completely off topic. And you wonder why the country is in such a mess. Go back to night school Mr. Kudos.

  5. Why employ a Kenyan to head the audit team. Zambians from different parties, provinces would have done a better job. “The Electoral Commission of Zambia engaged external consultants from Kenya lead by Dismas Ong’ando who started working on the 5th of June up to 5th July this year.”

    • How do you audit the process that you are a party to? Guys independent verification required outsiders. Have you ever asked yourself why independent monitors of the elections are called from outside as well? With your thinking, you can as well say we do not need them because Zambians are capable. Gullible indeed, kikikiki

  6. Well done ECZ. In spite of the anomalies at least the Voters Register is now available to all participants in this Election. We hope and pray that voters’ names are still in the Register and in their respective voting stations and constituencies and have not been disenfranchised. ECZ now needs to follow thru in a transparent manner the next stages of this election and deliver a credible election result.So far so good.

  7. The anomalies have been found so take them away. It’s possible someone had criminal intentions or it’s just errors caused by manually writing while registering. ECZ receives so much money, why not computerise the vote register system to avoid such heinous error!

    • Good suggestion. Am sure they are working with other wings so that there is a common platform for information sharing. Remember that these institutions have different systems which needs integration. Do to so is not a day’s job due to the different mandates.

  8. A normal registration exercise is likely to hv errors. Remember it’s human to error. Some people never heed to instructions. They were informed that those who had registered in 2005 should no re-register. Those could be the double entries

    • What about the 148383 under fives who registered them.? These are the ones we heard hh Upnd paid Ecz assistants to have them on the registers. Another scam unearthed

  9. Yes foreigners did a wonderful job. Zambians would have pocketed the money and buy plots,marry more women and drink cases of mosi. Well done ECZ

  10. Kenyan auditors are here to audit our roll? This is interesting as it comes at a time when Kenyans are killing each other over the mess in their roll. Why tiganiza so kansi.

  11. I share my NRC number with another person but fortunately its a lady. A POLICE officer threatened me in 2011 during voter registration that i voted twice but got saved when he realised the other person was a woman and the names were not the same. This anomaly is because of not having a computerised NRC system.

    • @Sindicate, that is the issue!! These people at NRC have been using manual procedures of the 70s when we have a population of about 5 million and technology was not just readily available. What surprises me is that each government that comes does not treat citizens’ registration as a serious matter. There is need for a comprehensive computerization of:registration of births,issuance of NRCs and death’s recording processes. These are serious security issues that need to be well managed and it is easier to do since technology is now readily available and affordable. What can prevent some one to use a name and NRC details of a dead person? What proof is there that people getting green NRC deserve them? How can an issuing officer be traced and made answerable in case of queries?? All these…

    • Zambia is luck for having a national ID card (NRC). In some countries and I won’t mention them here where similar audits have been conducted, evidence of citizenship is by all manner of evidence including witnesses, Certificate of nationality, Passport, Driver’s license, Pension card, Student ID, employment ID card.

      So Zambia is relatively advanced by African standards.

  12. Hopefully they have the means to contact the affected people so they are not disenfranchised. we should also be informed of the action to be taken to rectify the problem. I believe the majority of these are double entries even though you can’t rule out sinister motives. Make sure we use the ink to ensure no one votes twice.

  13. In the shadow of Africa,better invest in electronic voting other than this.The reason the selfsame developed nations have made voting electronic to avoid selfsame deliberate or human errors.Nothing more to say

    I thank you

    • With chuundu and GBV cry babies are you sure electronic voting can work in ZED? We sure introduce it after 11 August when we send chuundu out of politics

  14. As for bringing in Kenyan.. I am personally happy they did that to remove bias. Infant they should have used an accounting firm from Kenya.

  15. THIS SO-CALLED KUDOS IS SUFFERING FROM IDENTITY CRISIS. WHAT HAS HH AND THE TONGA PIPO DONE TO WITH THE AUDIT OF REGISTERS? YOUR HATE AGAINST TONGAS AND HH IS UNREASONABLE. INSPECT YOURSELF AND REMOVE THE MADNESS IN YOUR ROTTEN HEAD. FIND SOMETHING SENSIBLE TO KIP U BUSY THAN HALLUCINATING DAILY. FOOLISH OF U.

  16. THE DUPLICATION OF VOTER NAMES IS A TACTIC BY LUNGU’S PF GOVERNMENT IN COLLABORATION WITH ECZ TO RIG THE ELECTIONS. THIS DUPLICATION SHOULD BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY. WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE INELIGIBLE VOTERS. YOU ARE NOT TRANSPARENT ENOUGH TO TELL US WHAT MAKES THEM INELIGIBLE. IS IT BECAUSE THEY ARE UNDER AGE, OR THEY ARE FOREIGNERS, OR WHAT?
    AND THE ISSUE OF FOREIGNERS BEING REGISTERED AS VOTERS NEEDS THOROUGH INVESTIGATIONS BECAUSE SUCH INDIVIDUALS ARE DIFFICULT TO DETECT JUST BY LOOKING AT THE REGISTER SINCE THEY WERE ILLEGALLY GIVEN NRCs AND HAVE VOTERS CARDS. WE JUST NEED TO BE SERIOUS AND HONEST WITH OUR INVESTIGATIONS.

    • You have not understood the audit findings. Ask me I explain again, this is the problem up and down cadres have. You speak before thinking

  17. Its called garbage in, garbage out. The NRC and death record systems feeding into the ECZ database are full of errors as they are still manual…. it follows that the resulting voters roll can only be as accurate as these NRC and deaths records!!

  18. BUT ZAMBIANS ARE DULL. THEY HAD TO CALL A FOREIGNER TO TELL THEM THAT SO MANY NAMES ARE SHARING SAME NRC. THESE ARE THE FOREIGNERS WHO MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE REGISTER. ALL THOSE NUMBERS MENTIONED MUST NOT VOTE. REMOVE THEM NOW. THE REPORT SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED THE PLACES WHERE THESE DUPLICATED VOTERS ARE REGISTERED AND YOU WILL FIND IT IS NEAR THE BORDERS OF ZAMBIA.

  19. People sharing names and or nrc numbers are not a bother because that is human error. The big issue having the under fives on the voters register, how ? because this can’t be human error. Can someone answer this. An under 5 is always an under 5. Two years old on the voters register?? Check properly maybe even animals are there.

  20. I quiver ..is this not what the post revealed? Mr Chulu did you actually expect Malawian registration cards in your voters roll to prove that foreigners have been registered? Can you categorically state each of the 132000 double registered are Zambians. Come on that appalling respinse to that huge discrepancy which the post exposed already cannot be coincidental and your response scares me.

  21. “The auditors however did not rule out the fact that it is possible for the Electoral Commission to register foreign nationals.The Commission has since invited political parties to inspect the provisional register and identify any non-Zambians who are on the list.”
    “Meanwhile, ECZ Chairperson Esau Chulu also disclosed that the register audit key findings show that there is no evidence that foreigners were added to the 2016 voter’s register.”
    If Zambian NRC were given to foreigners, then those foreigners register as voters, the audit couldn’t pick that out because the legal requirements was met. That’s what the auditors are saying. So the Chairperson statement is off side!

  22. A local audit would have picked the foreigners from the register, thus the plan to engage a foreign company, to do the job, that is why hh is saying we must also do in a local audit.

  23. Let us now wait for the police investigations over the revelations by the post. There is no need to start defending ECZ Mr. Chairperson before the police conclude their investigations. The audit had different objectives and the police are investigating possible fraud and criminality. Hold your fire sir!

  24. Team leader Mr. Ong’ondi is a qualified Information Security Management Business Continuity Management IT Governance. ndiye vichani ivi?

  25. The announcement by ECZ and their Independent Auditors that they are no foreigners registered as voters is quite disappointing. Did they expect to find foreign NRCs on the register? What the ECZ auditors did was to check for duplicates which anyone can do using Microsoft Excel. What they should be doing is to further carry out a substantive test by taking a sample of registered voters in the areas suspected to have foreign voters and check if they actually do exist. They can even use the voters NRCs published by the POST and carry out a test by going to the registered voters villages to check if they do exist.
    I would like to urge the POST and other stakeholders interested in a good and fair election to send evidence of foreign registered voters to ECZ and the Independent Auditors. We…

    • @26,Nyirongo, that is the point! The source must be verified that is verify if the NRC were given to deserving people and then see how many foreigners are likely to have been allowed to register to vote. That will help! Why didn’t those who believe in what the post said petition the ECZ so that it could be compelled to form a joint investigations team to establish the real truth because these rumor of foreigners registering to vote has been heard in almost all border areas!

    • DONT BE DULL. WHO HAS THE RIGHT TO DECLARE A PERSON AS A FOREIGNER? IS IT THE POST NEWS PAPER? IS IT THE COLOUR OF THE SKIN? IS IT THE ACCENT OF THAT PERSON? IS IT THE NAME OF THE PERSON? IS IT THE PLACE WHERE THE PERSON LIVES? OR IS IT THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS THROUGH ITS DAPARTMENT OF NATIONAL REGISTRATION, PASSPORT AND CITIZENSHIP?

  26. Its suprising to ask ichikukubiti from Kenya to do AUDIT for one month whilst several IT Gurus in Zambia are Jobless, they could easily handle such a job of excel the search command for repetitions. Its also unbelievable that such an exercise took place from 5 juni to 5 july because ECZ never mentioned their was such ongoing works, elo these are not anomalies we want new foreign voters, allege foreigners . BUT also the boss ECL is too kind this is like chiluba revealing tunnels in state house ,

  27. The Kenyan consultant was not engaged by the ECZ but by the United National Development Programme (UNDP) under the electoral cycle funding which falls under governance. So please people do not show ignorance. Try to do some research, so UNDP does not work under control of any government wing. It is a world government and they can choose any consultant they feel will give the desired results with being biased.

  28. The voter registration of foreigners is irreversible at this stage becoz they used Zambian documents to register. What ca only be done is to educate people in the border areas not to go and vote if they know as foreigners are not entitled to vote in our elections. Those foreigners who are caught voting risk their lives and can be jailed. These foreigners were bribe to come vote in our elections by the PF Govt and the culprits if found should be held accountable.

  29. Mr.Esau Chulu said no evidence of foreign being registered but then we have this number of 132,837 sharing the same registration numbers.
    Can ECZ explain why people sharing the same number and what is the way forward?
    let the registers be printed and given to all political parties and then go flat out to conduct audit per community this is when we shall identify who is Zambian and who is not?
    Otherwise job well done as we carry our own audit using the registers

  30. So Hexit Hexit (HH) has been halluscinating and cheating the whole world that foreigners were registered on on the voters’ register.
    This should be a lesson to those that this Hexit Hexit has lied to and promised the world especially the miners that he is a big liar and a crook who is knows that he is losing for the last time and the only way out is to deceive the unsuspecting innocent people by taking advantage of their situation.
    I CAN CERTAINLY ASSURE YOU THAT THIS HH IS A LIAR AND ESPECIALLY SHOULD THIS FACT. HERE, HE HAS AGAIN BE CAUGHT UP IN HIS WEB OF LIES TOGETHER WITH THE POST AND CARTEL.
    VOTE FOR UPND AT YOUR OWN PERIL, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

  31. The Hamas Terrost Group has mastered the art of misinformatiion and deceit coupled with an international propaganda machine which always leaves Israel chasing shadows in the war for public opinion.
    They pile up missiles and launch pads in schools and hospitals and then launch Rockets into Israel. Then they put Children and Babies near these sites expecting Israel to respond, off course to kill some of these. And Israel will definitely respond. But the Israeli response will be met with cameras already put in place to capture the images of Israel bombing Children and Babies, and these pictures are then spread all over – much to the horror of the world.
    A Hamas equivalent is gradually evolving in Zambia. They cause confrontation with the Police and everything fixed and moving, then they…

  32. A Hamas equivalent is gradually evolving in Zambia. They cause confrontation with the Police and everything fixed and moving, then they put poor children in the line of fire, and from a safe distance they take pictures eagerly awaiting for the poor kids to be harmed so as to satisfy their now desperate propaganda war. Once the children are harmed they rush to the international media and to some other galleries loudly playing victim , when they are the real murderers. May the powers that be look at the UPND’s schemes. From Mapatizya, Mufumbwe, Kasama, Chalimbana ,Bweengwa, Namwala , and now all over the country. Zambia is dealing with a Terrorist Organization masquerading as a political party.

  33. its not that the pipo who share nrc are the same pipo registered twice no, in my area the two diferent 19 and 21 years old young men have bn issued with the same nrc# by registration office let the national registration correct these mistakes otherwise its not the problem of the citizens

  34. The reason why every reasonable person should be cheated by HH and UPND to vote for them is that HH is only seen to the voters during election times and over promises and most importantly, he has not explained to Zambians how he alone will “FIX” the economy, make the copper prices go up, fund the education sector, create employment for all the youths and bring investors in Zambia when we is against infrastructure development. he should also give Zambians the timelines in which he expect to do all the miracles he keeps hallucinating about otherwise, we all these things President Lungu is doing them and we can see and experience them!

  36. At the time of voter registration, individual registration points around the country are not connected to the main data base. It is therefore possible that you can cheat yourself by registering at many different registration points. What an audit does is collapse into one central data base all records from the different registration centers nationwide. It is at this point that the computer is able to match identical NRC’s first and fore most and then names, sex, age and other particulars. If you registered more than once therefore, only one center will be retained for voting purposes. I hope you will remember which one.

  37. The Audit has been done, and off course the Register will be cleaned up. But as usual the Loser will complain if it is found that the majority of those with duplicate entries are in the Southern and North Western Province. He will cry foul.

  38. As the Post revealed a week ago, it is very possible for the voter’s register to have more none Zambians because, the names of foreigners registered in border towns with Tanzania, DR Congo, Malawi etc could still have been wrongly given a green NRCs and they could still carry similar names as Zambians due to inter-marriages. So only people living in border towns can identify them as foreigners because they frequently see them crossing in and out of Zambia. Therefore, involving non-Zambians to inspect the register cannot unearth this problem because culprits would still have Zambian names and NRCs.

  39. Most of these dublications are in southern province where HH told people to register as many times as possible in nega nega,monze,kalomo,namwala,pemba and mazabuka

  40. So imwe fima useless PF cadres,if this Foreigner from Kenya Dismas Ong’ando,who is known to ve to faked & tempered with the kenyan voters roll too,is an independent consultant & hired by the UN why is it that he has been working form state house?know your facts before you vomit food u ate using our Eurobond money okey?And if he is independent,why is ECZ doing his job of confirming that the voters roll is clean,that shows you that they are acting together.Let the Opposition parties and other stake holders confirm that the voters roll is clean,not this Dismas Ong’ando foreign & ECZ PF cadres.This ***** shd continue locking himself inside statehouse or he will be slaughtered soon like he & kibaki massacred the kenyans in 2008.

  41. It is good outsiders audited the register. The 2-3 per cent is not error by ECZ alone but I personally think the National Registration Office, under Home affairs have a share of it. Having said that, this should act as a work up call for the Home affairs ministry to check their records and visit the culprits in the irregularities. IS THIS ASKING FOR TOO MUCH FROM OUR HOME AFFAIRS MINISTRY?

  42. And more over ECZ is always shifting the blame onto other ministries-what exactly is ECZ’s job?The foreigners that were registered from Malawi ECZ refuted the allegations as it slided the duty to the Home Affairs department.Violence,ECZ blames opposition parties,Printing of ballot papers ECZ says its government’s job to chose,and now Double registration of NRC’s again useless ECZ shifts the blame to Home Affairs-what exactly is ECZ’s job?What are those tubena Pricilla,Chulu paid to do?otherwise firethe whole lot cos they ve no job there other than making announcements on ZNBC.Shd we be paying them so much money just to make an announcement?

  43. The audit was not properly done just because it involved foreign auditors not cognizance with the Zambian system of corruption. The information itself reveals a lot of foreigners registered. In today’s world and Zambia in particular a foreigner can easily be given a Zambian name get away with it! Get samples of those people sharing particulars and interview them and you will see. To be an independent specialist does not mean that one has to be a non-Zambian but also be in terms of outside your own profession. Otherwise tomorrow we will even outsource ‘ECZ’ just like the printing of ballots.THE POINT BEHIND ALL THIS IS INCOMPETENT LUNGU AND CARTEL OF PF. ZAMBAI HAS QUALITY WORKERS IN ANY FIELD ALSO.

  44. There is BIG BIG LOP HOLE here and all stakeholders should wake up otherwise we are already dribbled. that number of people is big. Where is the figure coming from.

  45. The dull people can say ECZ doesnt issue NRCs. But this rigging scam is well orchestrated. The Home Affairs working in league can register anyone or use anyone’s NRC number. There are no voyers who state that they are foreigners. Truck and bus loads of Malawans were ferried to register for NRCs and voters cards. THE AUDIT REPORT DOES NOT SAY THERE ARE NO FOREIGNERS ON THE VOTERS REGISTER. There is a possibility.

  46. We need to know which province produced more anomalies. SOLACE province maybe the one beware of just focusing on PF

  47. THE GREEN NATIONAL REGISTRATION CARDS ARE THE ONES WHICH ARE GIVEN TO FOREIGNERS WHICH IS TRUE. THE REGISTRATION DEPARTMENT MUST ARREST ALL THOSE HOLDING SAME NUMBERS AND SHARE THE SAME NAMES. THIS IS A FAUL TO THE ECZ BECAUSE THIS MEANS THAT THE HUGE NUMBER OF THE PEOPLE FOUND TO HOLD THE SAME NRC ARE FOREINERS. THEY ARE BEM,BEMBAS OF CHIPATA AND THIS TO ME SOUNDS TRUE.
