Sad! When a person is behaving cantankerously like UPND Larry Mweetwa and you feel like smacking his mouth, just walk away please!
Please do not mess with North Westerners. They strike to kill. Those guys don’t value life as much as the rest of us. This is not tribalism but a stereotype. I always avoid getting into arguments and fights with North Westerners because they’re still in the Shaka Zulu era.
You have something else in your brain. That’s all I can say.
you idiot.
does “mofya” sound like a northwesterner!!!
you are the idiots promoting tribalism and no guesses from which province you come from.
Sad for the country you are in, they allowed an idiot
Ba Nathan???????? Kuti wapapamwandini.Some comments awekwena my brother think b4 you pass a comment you like provoking people from NWP in your silly comments Kukosama, kabwa,mpombo obewa bukonye bwatama Kyatama kwamba bintu bwyatama pa bakwenu mpombo.
Let that man not see another day, and police please make sure the couprite be brought to book.
Too bad to loose life.
Sad to read.however we need to exam things from a different angle. How can a gal at 16 be married? Please let’s stop taking kids into so called marriages and encouraging people to get married especially before 32 for men and 27 for ladies. Another thing if you are not happy get out of it its not prison. Congrats to the 4000 couples who divorced in the first quarter of the year. You are free and alive
Very common in rural areas. They don’t see any value in a woman’s education.
What do you expect when you have a violent party in government? People are just following in the footseps of pf
Let us not get this matter to political issues, rather than encouraging Hellen’s family…
Shaka was our King,and he wasn’t brutal, he was a Great King don’t read the English books and judge sour great great grand Father, these whites tarnished African history, so be careful with these foreigners,they put boundaries in our beautiful Africa, they made you stay in Zambia, they made me stay in South Africa and made you different from I, whilst we are one.
Gilbert Mofya. What a low life animal and coward this cretin is. Soon he will be apprehended and justice will be served.
But how come you don’t know the age of mofya ???
