  3. Bongo Bongo, the constitution belongs to the people and not for you and PF alone. You PF chaps are behaving like the country belongs to your grandfather or something. You think since we just been watching you rig elections, threaten and bribe judges, kill and steal from the poor we will let you manipulate our constitution. I’m glad you failed and God made sure the money you wasted bribing people goes to waste. I’m glad that there are some courageous people ready to defend our constitution, that is the last thing we will not allow to destroy. You have lost all integrity and trust to be afforded the opportunity to change our constitution again. Just go and fight amongst yourselves that is what you’re good at

  7. There are probably hundreds on coronavirus cases in the country… people who went to Fairview hospital with symptoms of covid19 were refused to be treated and sent back home or told to look for a goverment hospital. Its spreading out there like wildfire

  8. …..because of water shortages people cannot afford to wash their hands and protect themselves from getting infected with corona virus
    dirty markets, people spitting everywhere, crowded useless churches, funerals, will help spread the virus fast. the worst is still to come!!!!!!!!!!

  9. God damn, Davis Mwila is one hell of an urly SOB! I mean, its people like him, Nkandu Luo and the one seated next to him, aka Ari from Planet of the Apes. I don’t know, from the way they stil and tribalize, maybe its the baboons and monkeys they eat that make them behave like apes!

  10. Exam time: Mention any leader u would like to choose to be struck by corona virus and be permanently removed from your sight (120 marks).
