Laura Miti: Activism or Suicidal Manipulation?

Share

FILE: Police pick up Laura Miti after she took part in a protest at Parliament grounds against the purchase of fire trucks last year

By Wilfred Sameta

Laura Miti’s unnecessary altercation with the law in Livingstone where she allegedly went to carry out some “activism”, once again raises questions about the credibility of her type of activism.

Ms Laura Miti is a political person. Her brand of “activism” is the kamikaze type- it is the suicidal variety that revolves around deliberately provoking controversy and courting danger.
Why this rather peculiar kind of “activism”? There are certain uncanny influences, many of them out of the public domain.

However, although Ms Miti is a public figure, it would not be fair to delve too much into her personal affairs and private life, suffice to say much of her eccentricities have roots in her having challenges with matters of matrimonial submission and the role and place of the woman in the home. Her domestic “activism” reportedly made a shipwreck of her marriage to a former political activist now self-styled fugitive living in South Africa. Laura’s combative feminist nature requires an outlet to frequently vent out all the pent-up personal frustrations of mid-life. She too is sadly a self-styled fugitive. The only difference is that she is running from the potential pleasant side of herself.

A typical femme fatale, Madam Miti is a cunning agent provocateur. She is the kind of woman our friends the Nsengas say will deliberately provoke her husband, forcibly hold him by the collar of his shirt and shove a finger in his face while screaming _“ni nyate ngati ndiwe mwanalume”_ (Hit me if you’re a real man). Dilemma: If the man lays a finger on the woman he is in danger of being perceived by society as a GBV perpetrator; if he doesn’t she becomes more abusive and manipulative.

This is how Laura’s strategy activism of manipulation provokes and taunts the authorities.
Anything to do with Edgar Lungu and PF Ms Miti will eloquently abuse and manipulate regardless of the merits or achievements of government.

She routinely (ab)uses the Presidency and the government for unwarranted target practice for her caustic tongue. It is also a bizarre mechanism of venting out and exorcising the imps of her inner personal frustrations that have nothing to do with those she aims her poisoned barbs at. And while she’s at it, she gets handsomely paid by her foreign sponsors and fawningly massaged by local opposition politicians. What a life! You’ve got to hand it to her…she may not have the style reflective of her eloquence, but the woman has plenty of guile!

However, at least for “Pilato”, everybody knows his partisan stance and his avowed mission to discredit anything and everything the Government says and does. He does not hide under the veil of “activism” like Laura Miti does, but he has openly declares his support for a certain opposition politician. So the whole world knows everything he does is to gratify the political interests of this particular politician.

But as for Ms Miti, like the saying goes: _“He who pays the piper calls the tune”_: it is unfortunate that Politician-Laura disguises herself as an activist, yet earns a partisan living out of pushing for regime change. Parts of the tune she is paid to play on her depraved instrument involves a rubble rousing cacophony to foment discord and anti-government sentiment …all in the name of “activism”.

Haven’t you ever wondered why the real accounts of her NGO are such a guarded secret? Who funds her NGO? How much does Madam Laura really get?

Why haven’t we ever heard of Laura carpeting the opposition? Does it mean the opposition are always right and the government always wrong?

Then why is she always siding with the opposition? Where is her objectivity?

Does a biased person predisposed to partisan politics qualify to be called an activist?

Are human rights onesided? Are responsibilities one sided?

As an activist-doesn’t Ms Miti have a responsibility to be civil and respectful to everyone else including the authorities?

Don’t government and its officials also have rights?

Activism should not be mistaken for deliberately stirring up controversy and partisanship should not shape activism.

 

The Author is a Retired Journalist now tilling the land in Central Province

86 COMMENTS

  1. The author is a coward.
    He only speaks about the opposition, since when has he ever condemned wrongs done by the party in govt? This is circular thinking the author is getting me into.

    • To me Laura Miti is just an attention seeker….these are the people who dont help Zambia to develop because they dont have meaningful jobs and she doesn’t even pay tax….just making noise and seeking attention and sympathy from donors… Laura Miti please just get a 9 to 5 job and contribute to Zambia like anybody else…stop being a drama queen and seeking attention…calling herself human rights activist and we are almost in 2020…..useless

    • What hunger can do…today she’s an activist and very critical of PF bandits….if Lungu offers her a job and invites to join PF bandits and start stealing…you will see how quick she’ll change and start singing praises and dancing dununa reverse with Lungu…just like the silly Zimba guy….these guys are fake and lazy….NGOs my foot just stealing from whoever is sponsoring her

    • I remember a few years ago late 90s and early 2000 people were creating fake NGOs claiming to help the need in Zambia…getting donations from overseas but they were actually using the money and other donated items for personal gain….people claimed to be helping orphans in Zambia but chewing all the money….Laura Miti is one of them…these guys are heartless

    • I personally know Laura Miti. If she was getting a lot of money, it doesn’t show in the way she lives her life. Her Alliance for Community Action (ACA) is as humble as NGOs come. It occupies no posh offices. The ACA only has to account to its funders and not anyone else. If it’s obeying the law, it has as much right to exist as those who wished it would disappear from the surface of this earth. My only surprise is why any govt should be scared of a lone lady armed only with her analytical mind. Laura intends to cause no physical harm to anybody. Putting her under armed guard in hospital will always be an overkill.

    • Even Martin Luther king Jr it turned out he was an Uncle Tom….he used to eat and dine with bazungu when no one was watching….just like your so called Mandela…it turned out he was a sellout and got his friends murdered…Chris Hani, Steve Biko etc…

    • Wilfred Sameta, you are truly a d0g.

      In this modern age, you still think women belong in the kitchen?

      Lungu abuses his office, that is why Laura has been selfless in representing the many voiceless citizens.

      Laura will be remembered as a fearless advocate for human rights and good governance.

      Lungu has failed.

      The only thing that Lungu has excelled in is enriching himself at the expense of our country.

    • Thorn in the Flesh – Active LT commentator still tilling land when in Zambia.

      It’s okay to have such people in societies. UK has them, USA have them, France has them etc. They are also picked up by police in those countries. FTJ would put a bullet in their skulls. Now that they know that ECL is one of the contemporary Leaders, who can’t harm a fly, let them air their decentful views while observing the law.
      Since even the POTROZ ain’t above the Law, single Laura isn’t above the law too. Let’s be clear
      though, Civil activism, does not mean lawlessness paid/sponsored or personal conviction.

    • For those who don’t know Laura Miti, she’s one lady u can win over if u put up a good argument. She’s not ashamed of saying, sorry I was wrong and you are right. She is ready to change her mind if it warrants it. She met the PF’s Sunday Chandra without insulting him. She just likes a good argument and that’s great.

    • Typical! Dokowe you don’t have to insult people you disagree with. Just present your views.

      Mr Sameta has of course hit the nail on the head.

    • The author should remain tilling the land and never be given an opportunity to express his backward views. Iam shocked that this was a journalist mwebantu???? What kind of journalist condemns someone fighting unfairness? Answer: One who only wants to personalise noble struggles by bringing Laura’s marraige issues into her justified objectives.
      Pilato is in trouble and noone in Zambia has the courage to defend him and you are busy criticising a woman who has the balls that you dont have! Respect such women you cowards!

    • The author has given us the reason he has written the article; retired tilling the land. Farming, especially crop cultivation, lately isn’t giving good returns, most probably negative returns.

      The man is hungry

  2. Little wonder you’re now “tilling the land in Central Province”; if you were a good for something journalist, you would have been consulting or in foreign service, like many former journalists. Or, better still, running your own journalism company.

    But, you’re clearly a danger to society, and have absolutely no understanding of democracy and freedom of assembly.

    Please continue tilling the land, and you will do well to completely stop writing 🙁

    • You 1d10t too gotta find some land to till. Tilling land does not mean suffering y’all.
      That said, instead of writing hogwash on this podium, find something to do for yourself like tilling land or anything else so that you’re kept busy working for your money instead of waiting for your haleisa haleisa, hapitilila to fix it for you. Like laura, go tell it on the mountain instead of waiting for her to do it for your lazy @$$.
      Let miti fight her own battles aimlessly if not haphazardly.
      We enjoy seeing the lauras of this world pretend they are fighting for the “poor” but when given Gov jobs they simmer and fizzle like humble or salt waters.

    • He is tired of tilling the land so he wants to be noticed by Lungu like those two joiurnalists in Germany. Some advise bamudala write a book and call it “How Wilfred stopped Laura from killing Lungu”
      Lungu usally notices such books. He will make you ambassador to China

  3. This author is just like many other docile Zambians who would rather just sit and watch the country getting destroyed. This is no different than Kaiser going around beating people. Lungu needs to stop this use of police to harass citizens then tomorrow he will be complaining about people tarnishing his regime’s reputation

    • But sucker what are you doing in the diaspora calling hardworking electorates back home docile when you can’t even physically join laura for the cause she champions that is completely alien to your immigrant faculty?
      Go back to Zambia and join Miti on the street.
      Break the land’s laws and get detained like her.
      You creatures can’t even go to jail for your haleisa haleisa apitilila cause.
      Your country is getting “destroyed” when your @$$ is getting fat like ma figure ya bana mulenga, sha! effing immigrant.

    • But s.u.c.ker what are you doing in the diaspora calling hardworking electorates back home docile when you can’t even physically join laura for the cause she champions that is completely alien to your immigrant faculty?
      Go back to Zambia and join Miti on the street.
      Break the land’s laws and get detained like her.
      You creatures can’t even go to jail for your haleisa haleisa apitilila cause.
      Your country is getting “destroyed” when your @$$ is getting fat like ma figure ya bana mulenga, sha! effing immigrant.

    • The great tragedy is that for a government which has failed so spectacularly there are still people who can not accept the disaster that we have become. Pf took over when Zambia’s GDP was growing at 7% and we were one of the best performing economies in Africa. We are now at 2% and one of the worst in Africa. Zambia’s external debt was zero in 2011. We are now one of the most indebted at $14bn. Our exchange rate in 2011 was below K4= to the US$. It is now K15 and falling. We are load-shedding at 15Hrs per day when Malawi is at 2Hrs. Our Staple mealie meal is now unaffordable. This Government’s corruption has led to the famous unexplained 48 houses and many unexplained purchases. Every GRZ official has to be bribed to do anything. Do you have to be UPND to see this.

  4. This guy or girl or none human is fkd up. Ati I don’t want to delve into her personal matters but does, uses her gender to discredit her, makes unconfirmed claims, things that this establishment can be sued for!!

    Are serious Ba Lusaka time? I mean what the f!!!

    • Lusaka times don’t even filter tribal hate. One can write freely that the people of Namwala are s.**d or that Bembas are s**d…just why allow that. By allowing such you become accomplices to a potential genocide. Sharon is always writing like that in here

  5. He is a PF cader , hiding behind neutral journalism,

    Notice how any protest at PF wrongs , and they are many, is classed either as foreign sponsored or opposition support.

    Can Zambia not protest PF misrule like the 42/42 without being labeled as foreign or opposition sponsored ??

    • Protesting alone doesn’t make sense.
      Litigation baba is the only way.
      But you yappers don’t have evidence and your knee bones get lazy taking action.
      You fear standing in court and get questioned.
      What lazy bones.
      Charge and prosecute if you got bold balls.
      You stories on corruption stand by and large alleged and hearsay to say the least.
      Lonely walk in an empty park.

    • Are you f*cking blind.? You cannot see 42 red wheelbarrow? What other evidence you parasite need?
      As to judiciary, how many of them have heard of Bangalore?

  6. Just as well the author is tilling the land he has no idea of democracy and freedom of speech whatsoever. When people see wrong in the government officials let them voice out. Politicians are not kings these were elected to improve the living standards of the electorates and when they are seen stealing or doing other things that are disadvantaging the electorates let them feel the pain for doing wrong. Besides tilling land is better than you attacking people who know what they are doing.
    As a retired journalist you should construct your argument well. You seem not to know what you want to talk about…
    You are a disaster madam sir!!!

    • Voicing out does not stamp out corruption or wrong doing in Government or communities or homes.
      Taking effective action does.
      Go to court and present your cases of alleged wrong doing. The writer knows what he is talking about but you.
      In short he is saying go to court so that justice prevails instead of taking to the street where you could get entangled with the POA specs of the law otherwise get tilling the land, that way, you would be expending your energy wisely and meaningfully.
      I am wondering why, you, Rudemonk would be yapping in the diaspora as Laura is lonely feeling the heat.
      You are not making sense mwe. Join Laura on the ground to achieve good numbers in her cause whose funders you may not have a clue on. Let’s get active in a nation facilitated by ample rule of law…

  7. “Fitch Credit Rating Agency has affirmed Zambia’s credit rating at CCC, which reflects the government’s high external financing requirements, combined with a fall in official foreign exchange reserves; high and rising government debt in the context of an ambitious capital expenditure programme; and constrained access to domestic and external financing.”

    This is what is a stake and when citizens stand up to remind those in power you label them?What exactly did Pilato do to be arrested? The constitution itself guarantees freedoms. Our former President Sata (may his soul rest in peace) was fearless in confronting injustice and who doesn’t know Mama Chikamoneka! I don’t find the author to be objective. When in government, they defend but when they are out they cry foul. Let democracy…

    • These are upndead sympathizers iwe especially scruffy pilato. You can’t mix civil activism with biasness towards your politically preferred candidate.
      On many occasions, haven’t we seen this individuals or their songs praising opposition elements while condemning the Government?
      Or is a career change path gone wrong?
      As long as we know the agenda of these chameleon hypocrites, laura, pilato and the likes – all upndead crooks we will continue calling a spade as such instead of a big spoon for the sake of impression.

  8. Mr. Author whatever you call yourself and you have been described as retired and tired journalist who has found peasant farming as the only way to wait for the grave, you are an enemy of democracy. If Laura Miti is doing suicide politics then I wonder what you would say about Martin Luther King Jr? Just wait for hunger to finish you then you will dance dununa reverse

    • Yaba! Kwena there is no Scopodonono mucimutwe cobe iwe.
      Hunger finishes lazy 1d10ts like you who think haleisa haleisa apitilila will put food on your tables.
      A peasant farmer like the writer does not care about mealie meal prices, its smuggling effect, or cost of living nightmare gone high because they are comfortable watching DSTV on a solar powered mansion in the push with solar powered fridges full of non gmo chicken, goat meat, fish ponded varieties of fish and beef with fleshly grown veggies and drink their local cow or goat milk and bore holed unchlorinated water.
      A peasant Farmer lives a happier life than you lazy urbanized creatures who think ECL or CKinsultor or h² or Laura miti should literally fight to put food on your hunger infected tables.

  9. The author appears to have retired his brain as well. Lusaka Times, what is your editorial policy? This article is terribly sexist, insulting and offensive. We have many men who have failed marriages and have simply moved on to the next woman and no one uses this against them. All our Presidents by the way, with the exception of KK, also had failed marriages but somehow for men this kind of failure isn’t extended to their ability to perform national duties, perhaps we need to interrogate this a bit more?? Strangely, it is always men who raise this issue, they simply can’t debate or discuss women who have done much more than them intelligently. These men have terrible inferiority complex. If we edit this article and remove all the sexist trash, there is nothing left in this article.

    • I think before we embrace western norms we need to apply our culture. In Africa, a woman is expected to behave in certain ways. If we apply Christian values as well, most of which are compatible with our culture, that’s where Laura looks like a misfit. That’s why those Arab women activists are frowned upon by their societies yet celebrated by the west-culture.

    • Hehehehehehe!
      Kikikikikijukija!
      Listen to this coward 1d10t who now thinks a woman in single Laura should be in the forefront fighting his battles.
      When K² together with host of heroes were fighting running battles so your lazy self could cerebrate annual independence day every 24th October, his wife, the bettys of this world, and other heroes wives were home nursing the tilyenjis of this world except a few women folks who fought real battles unsponsored.
      The John Solye ubwalis like you want to maintain postures behind screens lauding commentarily funded losers like laura take lonely battles while breaking the law. Aint you niggaz ashamed.This is sad. You stop being s3xist yourself and blog like a man you are.

    • Hehehehehehe!

    • Stop using African culture for your selfish misogynistic desires. African culture does not support exploitation of anyone man or woman. Its male chauvinists like you who want to bully women that make this the norm. Some of you are so scared of a succesful woman you have to call upon fake cultures to assume your self importance

    • Pamela Chisanga Iam agreeing with you all the way. These men are so insecure they need a woman snivelling before them all the time to feed their useless egos. This author should immigrate to Saudi Arabia

  10. It was very strange that the British High Commission sponsored a Politically Exposed Person Pilato on a fully paid tour to the UK, it was a first of its kind in Zambia. I’ve also failed to understand where Laura Miti stands. Both are just paid mercenaries with a narrow agenda, they’ll mislead a lot of people. As for the Livingstone saga, Pilato’s 1st twit went viral and was re-twitted by so many among them Munshya in Canada, Hichilema and many others. Shortly Pilato posted another to announce his release which all these chaps ignored. I was surprised to hear Laura had traveled to Livingstone. I’ll join hands with those with a genuine local agenda not some imperialist sponsored dissent. These are just useful idyots who will discarded shortly by their sponsors, they can’t take Zambia…

  11. Continue tilling the land ,your write up is as useless as your career.So one sided and try to paint a person exercising her write to speak up black .What has her personal life got to do with her activism .You want us to start talking about the concubines politicians have so as to draw a parallel.?Like i said continue tilling the land and just maybe you might be useful in that way to this country .

  12. @Pamela, my young sister, you are right. The reference to her marriage is irrelevant and sexist at best. As a father of two grown daughters who have inspired not to feel inferior to men, I find the sexist angle of article offensive and exhibition of inferiority complex. Also, this idea of anyone having a different view to ruling party either being sponsored or UPND is so shallow. My advice to PF and opposition,please debate issues, policies and achievements. The Opposition need to clearly tell us clearly what they will do differently. We also need shadow cabinets from Opposition. What are their teams so we compare quality with the current PF admnistration

    • The shadow cabinet idea is extremely progressive and would lead to politics of national rather than self-service as well as responsible opposition.Well highlighted mwe bena Nkonde as ever!!

  13. Mr journalist cum pleasant farmer, but you haven’t told us what exactly that Laura Miti has done, are you not a journalist? Did she insult the police or the humble politicians or what?
    Miti and her “husband we know them, so shut up there and stick to the point.
    She is not my favourite person but you Sameta are probably worse.

  14. A few years ago in the 1990s NGOs came on the stage. The Nordic countries funded most of them. Then came ‘civic education’ it was actually a guise of political parties. They grew but soon the funders caught on the tap run dry as few could account for the money they were given as all was swallowed in allowances. Enter private newspapers they were ‘concerned’ about the poor some grew so big they were ‘king makers’. They soon got funding from abroad to speak correctly. The sad reality is most of the ‘activists’ of yesteryear bloomed into what they always wished for. Political power! Pilato speaks his mind and has now attracted Laura to join his cause. Sometimes its good to speak then be silent.

  15. This article is a meritless hit-piece meant to 1) diminish the important work Laura and her peers are doing and 2) distract from the worsening failings of the PF “government” more accurately described as a conduit of corruption.

    • Okay
      1. a)What is corruption nigga? b) Can a nigga first corruption alone?
      2. When you smell corruption, what step should you take?
      3. If Corruption is suspected which institutions must you run to first?
      4. Do you understand what whistleblowing is?
      5. What does police service do in Zambia?
      6. What is the ACC?
      7. Do you understand the role of Parliament in Zambia?
      8. Before you protest publicly in Zambia what things must you satisfy first?
      9. Who are heads the Parliament, Judiciary and Executive and what are the roles of these organs?
      10. What are Civil Liberty Organizations and their agenda?

  16. So tilling the land is useless. If the author had his own newspaper, he would have been writing in support of the government or against as is the case with all the newspapers we have. Mast/the post, news diggers writing negatives about the government, daily nation, times of Zambia, daily mail writing in favour of the government. There is no newspaper which writes balanced articles. Stop insulting people who till the land.

    • Tilling the land is a preserve of every Zambian who want. If he can till and once in a while do a post on LT, let him remember his writing skill by writing to advise Laura that folks like you don’t give a single damn about her.
      That the way you wish she chooses to go about things isn’t right.
      Ngaiwe ninshi?
      You characters who want posts that discredit and disparage Government only day in day out are sick to the core.
      Let laura behave herself by obtaining police permits and adhering to the rule of the law and POA in her effort to air her views. She can’t take the law in her hands. Kwasila.

  17. Do another write-up on Ntewewe and his fellow NGO mercenaries and then we will judge your level of objectivity. And since when did protesting become synonymous with kamikaze or suicide? It is because PF have reduced the political space so much so that people are now afraid of the unknown and you being a journalist, these are the issues you should be bringing out and not Laura’s personality, marriage, looks, cooking skills and what ever else your backward article has brought out.

    • Tata ba Thorn in the Flesh,
      You may wish to know that according to Mulundika versus the People, no one is required to obtain a Police Permit in order to assemble peacefully. This right is already granted by the Bill of Rights. The requirement is supposed to be only to notify the police. This requirement is not intended to empower the police to deny the right of assembly but for administrative needs. The fact that the police continue to talk about Permits is a tragedy for our country, and I always wonder why the President has not advised the police accordingly. In not doing so he has become complicit in breach of the Constitution. All of us who value our rights and responsibilities including Thorn in the Flesh should strive to protect our right of Assembly which is enjoyed every where in…

    • Under the umbrella of the law, yes.
      Upndead is not the only opposition is Zambia. Check!
      Lawlessness is not a form of political opposition. Check!
      When you get funded to participate or engage in conduct likely to cause the bleach of peace, you get picked up by authorities. Check!
      Loneliness must not deceive you into civil disobedience. Check!

  18. If more people behaved like Laura Miti then this PF government would not take us for granted, especially the educated cowards who looks the other way while PF rapes the poor.

    • Editorial approval kid?
      Are you high?
      This is social media where you insulting comments pass the filtering algorithm on your insults.
      Editorial approval tar!

    • Oh! Yeah?
      And you exercise your freedom of expression electronically behind the screens.
      Get physical instead of awkwardly admiring her on social media. Join with her and you’ll see that she is always high puffing on lye.
      You think nowadays women don’t smoke weed?
      Give her physical moral support kaili.

    • @Thorn in the Flesh, you appear to be on a wanton rampage to respond to everything you see here. Unlike you that IS MY FCUKING NAME. Freedom of expression is guaranteed either in print or verbally – that is why we have defamation in written and verbal. Let her express herself and also go through the consequences of her actions. Why does it injure you so much?

    • You don’t wanna see a woman in jail.
      Simple, let laura lawfully express herself. Anything outside the law is detainable and incarceratable.
      Have some form of mercy on the poor gal now.

      No harm dude.

    • Unlike most Zambians who hide behind claims of I’ve got a family to support. Cowards! Fight for your freedom of speech mwenkoko mwe! Bo

  19. This woman is a former concubine to one political activist called Haswell Banda. The man was very vocal at UNZA in late 1980s.I don’t know where he is this time.

  20. He was her husband he is based in SA and has continued his good work for the under privileged works most with trade unions…let us not be malicious

  21. Fix the government first then things will start to turn around. Government is the vehicle to drive the desired change the country is yearning for. Letting a rotten government run the country is what is causing the problem. so to instill confidence back into the people of Zambia the government must be fixed first so that it genuinely becomes a people’s government and not the president’s government. now who can fix this government? surely not by a passive people, nor ignorant and negligent people but a people who see the future they desire for their young ones first then align though and action now to attain it, a people that will put government to task to help the government realise their mandate.

  22. There is absolutely nothing wrong Laura Miti did. She went to Livingstone to demand that her colleague who was unlawfully arrested by the Police be released. Laura and her colleagues are demanding for the rights and freedoms enshrined in our constitution and laws. She therefore doesnt deserve to be personally insulted. If you want to oppose her, just state what wrong activism you think she and her colleagues did in Livingstone to deserve being arrested too? Can the Police or the PF government list the Zambian constitutional provisions and laws Laura and her colleagues broke?

    This action by police of arresting Laura and her colleagues is nothing other than instilling fear through dictatorship and denying citizens their rights and freedoms. If some people are happy to live in a…

  23. This action by police of arresting Laura and her colleagues is nothing other than instilling fear through dictatorship and denying citizens their rights and freedoms. If some people are happy to live in a situation where their rights and freedoms are denied, this should not be at the expense of genuine Zambians who wants to enjoy the rights and freedoms enshrined in the Zambian constitution and laws. When one fights for the rights and freedoms in the Zambian constitution it doesnt matter if they belong to opposition or ruling PF.

  24. Some Zambians are worse than dogs in the depth they will stoop to denigrate someone doing a noble job just because she is a woman. Regardless of her failed marriage to Azwell, and she is not the first or last to divorce, she is an honorable woman. Those who can’t stand her must “f.uck off”. Galu za chiwewe imwe kunya!

  25. @indigoTyrol…..You are the Biggest Real DOG. Infact u are the people taking this country into the abyss. Laura miti , as Mr sameta have clearly outlined is a deranged woman soon to dimminish like all the others. This country is bigger than lungu or Hh, it is country blessed and endowed, and people like u bootlickers of the white enemy will never prevail!
    Continue with your insolence of people whose minds are stable and zambian like Mr sameta. And at the end of the day u will lose..*****.

  26. Kambonga !
    Many a time I have pointed out that Laura is a lovely girl who has problems in expressing herself in fair terms.She wants to appear more piqued and troubled than anyone else in the country…She lashes her tongue at poor Edgar leaving Esther aghast at the folly of her young sister on her better half.
    Right now she would be the one caring Lucy Banda Sichone Musokotwane’s mantle. Sadly, my poor brother Azwell found her untamed.
    Laura my girl, Merry Christmas and be a better model in 2020.
    Main point? I concur with you retired journalist tilling the land in Central Zambia.
    Sixty plus on the land.
