This Lungu ***** is always issuing statements out of drunkenness. He has told the educational authorities not to open educational institutions of higher learning till further notice .So how is he going to improve education in Zambia?
The period Zambia is ruled by PF will go down in history as the lost period for economic development.
I almost fainted to read “Lungu commits….”.
I was like what theee fuuuuxk!?
This what happens when your win is questionable, you spend a lot of time trying to convince people you won and continue living in campaign mode.
Lungu has no vision! Donating foods! There should be an abundance of food so that he does not have to offer a sack a maize to a starving family. The Chinese are celebrating their harvest and selling it to Zambians! Lungu has no vision!Touring with the health minister- I hope they were taking notes of the health hazards e.g lack of sanitation. Our neighbours in Angola are demolishing shanty compounds and building robust homes. Lungu has wasted millions on foreign trips that should have been used for manufacturing, roads, sanitation, education, health, completion of hydro dams etc.
Well, that is just mere talk intended to excite simple vulnerable minds. The 2017 budget allocation to education shows the reality of “seriousness” in improving education.
the joke of the year!!! Man needs to stop abusing substances!!
Lungu this Lungu that. Imwe this is a new year. Give us some new news. Is this why he wanted post shut so that only.media that praises him remains. This is why Lusaka times cannot announce the winner of best blogger because that winner does not support lungu
Really laughable …one only has compare the budgets for this year and last to see if there is any truth to this Lazy Bum’s utterances otherwise he is still drunk!!
Is Lungu ‘Normal’…mwebantu?
No he isn’t. He intends to improve the education system using his illigal position as President which he has been trying to justify and fighting to for to be accepted with some illegal minister who won’t step down to allow due process. The education system will be helped by an illegal commerce, trade and industry using finances from an MMD illegally appointed by his PF government. Lungu is unacceptable and rejected directionless human being who needn’t even be a cleaner in a Law firm.
This man really annoys me with his utterances. I can’t stand him.
Commiting, Assuring, Urging, are words of lazy person. Even me, I can commit to marrying KIM KARDASHIAN. I can assure u that I’m gonna marry her. But reality is different.
LAZY-BUMZ LUNGU needs to announce actual programs, policies, projects, allocations NOT wishy-washy HOLLOW DECLARATIONS.
Even Muliokela has committed himself to marrying Dora but reality is different!
What kind of education is he talking about when he sent people abroad to suffer….It seems like Zambians have become so dull that even drankards like him can fool you…
PF is in power!You like it or not Alalila oohwe!!….Chikonko mwekate…try 2021
Where are the student loans for real educqtion. Lungu should stop politicking at every occasion.

You Tonga’s have a big problem! If Lungu’s win is questionable, you are telling us no one won the August 11 elections? Because its madness to think your dull Hichilema won elections by winning in 3 provinces, 2 of which have the lowest population in the country, out of 10 provinces! Tonga’s must be very bad at Maths! Your reputation has really gonna down you Tonga’s because of your insistence on things which didn’t happen! 2021 will be worse for you because all Zambians have known who Tonga’s are! And GBM as your Vice, ichalo kuti chapwa fast! Two thieving business men ruling Zambia! Enriching their companies fast!
lazy bum is at it again speculating about what he thinks a president does.
