    • Heeeeish, knives on a woman?? Not even a notorious woman like Mumbi PF can be fought with a knife. Why not belt if you are scared on her squeezing your balls?

  2. “………of Mazyopa in Chipata Compound”. Now which is which? Either Mr Chanda resides in Mazyopa or Chipata compound.

  3. Although horrendous, one thing I note is that Men go for their wives or both, but the Women go for the third party why? Is it lack of knowledge or just stupidity?
