Congratulations buddy, it is well deserved.
He got job because of name, Sinkamba.
He will leave soon again. Takwaba ukupitana soo, I think Zambians we misunderstand word “experience”. Experience is not changing jobs every 2 years kwati liule. Experience is about staying in a company for atleast 5 years, in management 10 years will be considered as experienced. 2 years can’t even know fellow employees names. Or if you ask Sinkamba what kind of beer he used to sell, he can’t remember any.
Kenneth is a hardworking professional a brilliant manager and performer.
Good appointment keep it up!
Your wife allowed you to leave the house with that bow tie?!

Congrats boss, well deserved and many more blessings.
Pass!
Vodka please.
