Alcohol keeps killing the youth in one form or the other- this is such a sad state of affairs.
When I was growing up Schoolboy and Kachasu would not be found in the same semtence!
@ Miguna Miguna, it’s sentence and not semtence. Which school did you go to?
Ba Pompi ala ekoyaba nama typo. Mubike education yandi mu matipa on such a small error? Do you point out big mistakes on this site? Ebu Pull him down syndrome bwine ubu
One mbotolo muntu kufa, aikona ndokota tuleya ku tupokolo. It is really sad.
At first I thought it was Edgar Lungu since he’s a chakolwa
That pic is not Kachasu LT
When we used to sneak out at school out of bord into the villages and drink especially during public holidays I can tell you for sure right here that “Kachasu” was 100% no no no no matter how broke we were, we stuck to homemade wine and healthy opaque maize brew.
Did HH drink the same too and he survived?
