  1. PF Kaponyas at work with Edgar Chagwa Lungu as the Chief Advisor and commander. ”Thou shall not steal” is one of the ten commandments of God and if Edgar Lungu showed the way to his fellow criminals by stealing the UPND election victory vote in broad day light, what do you expect from his disciples ? And Lungu cannot pass on a comment against this barbaric activity because he is it’ s chief engineer.

    • How do you leave your car keys in the ignition or inside the car with someone you’ve never met, someone you don’t even know and to make matters worse at night? Very careless driver altogether

    • Why is there no report about the robbery that took place under the Mandahill foot bridge just meters away from the police station? A Chinese man was robbed of more than 100,000 Kwacha just meters from the Manda Hill Police Post! The trick the robbers used to enable them to snatch more than 100,000 Kwacha is common in Spain. I know this for a fact because my patner and I almost got robbed on the A7 highway just before entering Barcelona, in Spain. Luckily for us, i stayed in the car and locked the doors of our Mercedes from inside. When they realised that my patner had no wallet on him (because moments before my patner had removed his wallet from his back pocket after paying for petrol on the highway and put it on the center console) tthey drove off, leaving us quiet shaken

  2. Is Kafue not a UPND stronghold? Let’s wait for them to caught then we’ll know the truth- these are the acts of civil disobedience and anarchy the Hungry Hyena and GBV are calling for..what a shame!

    • foolish comment why bring politics into a crime empty person you are cannot blog without insulting irrelevant useless comments

    • @Kubweka read the comment from your fellow UPND blood thirsty animal Pwele Mumba! My comment is a reaction to those insults- insults that include false and baseless accusations towards OUR HEAD of STATE! Sorry you hopeless mother and fatherless cretin but some of us have respect for Law and Order when you cross the line you need to be pacified! I would like to pacify you one day!

  3. Don’t blame upnd , we have a Pf government and upnd has nothing to do with it , I am personally a frend of PF guys , but this is not the way it should be that we start saying upnd since its Kafue, the government of the day is PF and they should bring law and order , please reason with inteligence don’t bring idiocy , thanks a lot

  4. WHEN THERE ARE NO JOBS AND PEOPLE WERE HIGHLY EXPECTANT OF A SAVIOR, A JOB PROVIDER AND EXECUTIONER OF MORE MONEY IN THE POCKET SLOGAN, THEY RESORT TO THE EASIEST WAY TO PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE. THESE ARE TELLTALE SIGNS OF WORSE THINGS TO COME. YOU CAN NOT TELL HUNGRY PEOPLE THE SAME STORY ALL THE TIME, THEY HAVE STOMACHS TO FILL.
