Wasting tax payers money with nonsensical suing….like he is not eating enough leftovers from PF bandits
Kekekeke.
Antonio and Tayali’s wixes left them because they bet their short d!xks cut off in exchange for PF jobs.
Antonio, Tayali and Sunday Chanda can make very good primary school teachers, just change careers.
LT let’s just comment, it’s not today we are cutting his off.
Why are you blocking everything?
PF is a gang of looters, let Comrade Fred take over in 2021 to cage all crony capitalists and their stooge politicians. Comrade HAKA8NDE is welcome to join hands to smoke the corrupt PF hyenas out
Poor reporting, what did the paper say? Are we meant to guess?
The paper said that he was gay?
LT doesn’t want me to say anything about this leach, so no comment
Dod you mean “leech”? Oh sorry, you mis-typed…
Did you? I mis-typed.
Does he have any reputation?
Good question …but I guess the little that is left of it ….as a matter of fact I never thought anyone from the PF could sue for defamation at this stage
Anthony throwing a tantrum like he doesn’t try to ruin other people’s reputation on a daily basis. Hope the case is thrown away l don’t know what judge will entertain such a case, it’s a waste of time and money
Has this guy got any reputation left?
Njala yanyonkola
He probably wants to buy a house in Chilenje….
Is it in the matter where he’s reported to have said he would have his ntwenukane cut off should HH win in 2021? For Antonio Mwanza his reputation is already tarnished the moment he joined PF
RICHARD SILUMBE,IS SENT BY PF TOP BRASS TO DESTABILIZE THE COUNTRY.AND THERE WAS NO NEED OF GRANTING BAIL CZ THEY ARE A DANGER TO THE SOCIETY.
This guy is hungry for money why asking for k350000 or it’s k3.50n.what was the point of going to court if you have figures yourself to be paid instead of court to judge if you win the case.it really shows that courts doesn’t have powers to judge those who work in government they follow what someone says.
There is no news here …time wasting indeed!
PRESIDENT EDGAR CHAGWA LUNGU WRITES
To me, Leadership is not about the next election but the next generation.
With some debate, some writers have attributed the British Statesman Winston Churchill to the following words: “What is the use of living, if it be not to strive for noble causes and to make this muddled world a better place for those who will live in it after we are gone?”
It occurred to me that the task for each one of us is to find a cause – not for self gratification or glory – but for national good, even after we are gone. It is this realization that has formented my belief in what I said on 18th September 2015 that:
“At the stroke of midnight on 24th October, 2064, Zambia should awaken to one undeniable truth and reality: that ours was a generation of…
