Dora mukashana, you had potential for a very bright future, before you politicised your career.

@shooters. he woman with Ms. Dora Siliya is beautiful. Could be you have a colour problem and implicit bias. If she was light, she would have been beautiful to you. Talk of racism from a fellow black person.

Creating wealth through Digital Migration Process when you have short changed taxpayers with a $250 million overpriced migration process…how can you claim to create wealth by fully embracing Digital Technology when you are letting and profiting from the highest Multi-choice subscriptions in Africa.
