How can your accent change when you moved to Europe after the age of twelve? You are a liar. Ask specialists in language acquisition.
Targeting those 14 males + 1 female at PF secretariat will benefit Zambia more.
Even Mushota will greatly benefit from this.
This is great. HH has somewhere to go when he leaves prison.
Why in mumbwa? They need to set one up at state house. We have a mad president
its your father who is mad
Lungu te father of the nation?
What is “psyscosocail”. Dis you want to say “psychosocial”?
@ba folosho “PSYSCOSOCIAL” is a condition that one suffers after demeaning a legally elected president of a country then jailed, so the condition develops whilst in jail cos. of mixing with cadres like mwaliteta and ur own house workers. This centre will definately have HH as a client soon
Comment:good initiative but wrong place geographically. Candidate towns: Lusaka, Kitwe, Ndola, Livingstone etc this is where this should have been established otherwise thumbs up
It should be set up in Dundumwe because in 2021 there will be more clients frim there. Also include a Vip Wing to host a named Chief
