What happened to Chongololo club?
. Aha!!!!!!!!!!!!! you remember Chongololo club. its duplicity of activities. Chongololo club still exists under a poorly funded Wildlife Environmental Conservation of Zambia (WECZ). Run & managed by a former cleaner. The man who championed Chongololo clubs in Zambia has since moved to WWF – Zambia. Hence, poaching the ideas. May be we should ask baMwisho to assist us launch police complaint on copy right issues.
