    • How do you they don’t these don’t love money? Feed yourself with the word of God not feeding people. Balya Njikwite. Hahahahahaha.

  1. Very disappointed with Bishop Emeritus Mpundu’s homily at the installation of Archbishop Dr Alick Banda. It was not a secret that he was attacking president Lungu who was among the audience. The hatred this man has for Lungu is difficult to understand. Especially that the commandment any Christian must respect is love.
