Ok OK That’s why I didn’t remember him….
Comment: Mr President is right in the sense that we African we are independent and sovereign state we can’t be dictated to we have all the capacity to govern ourselves period,, Mr lungu sir stand your ground,
A gallant soldier, the veteran of Kavalamungu has gone with honours.
He served the country without or favour. Not these funny creatures who are stealing from our nation. Rest in Peace
MHSRIP , may the your soul rest in peace. Thanks for being a good role model and good advice
MHSRIP this man bought his large plot or should I say his farm back then in Ibex Hill when that whole area was a bush and the gravel roads were impassable in the rainy the General was always ready to offer the community with ZNS graders on condition they just provided diesel for the job, these were men of integrity who sweated for everything he owned.
He was a patriotic Gen., not Chiluba’s stinking thieving generals of faeces most of whom ended up in jail!
