That is ugly picture
This is yet another conduit through which our money will get siphoned and get into private pockets foe the greedy.
Byelections in Zambia are no longer interesting and are no longer meaningful.
So it was false alarm that opposition parties will not campaign from 15 to 19 Nov due to the Preaident’s visit?
Whether, chagwa campaigns in mangango or not wont win. Not forward fye.
And the PF candidate has he managed to sort out his fake grade 12 certificate, the issue is now quite ECZ never made any statement to that effect.
