  1. Well of course you will continue to work with them even though their president calls our country a Sh*thole and I’ll tell you why, because they provide the aid to put more money in your corrupt pockets. At least Botswana had the guts to challenge him on that statement and for obvious reasons but we on the other hand have no leg to stand on, in other words Mr Lubinda is saying “More insults please! Boy we just love being told the truth and doing nothing about it because we are Zambian and we love our corrupt practices Woohoo!!”
