I’ve told you people why do we tolerate beer drinking so much in this country? Why hasn’t alcohol been classed as a dangerous drug? Beer tarverns are the breeding grounds of most of the evils in this country ra.pe, assault cases, thefts, murd>lll>ers, road accidents and GBV in most cases are committed or are a direct result of thugs who frequent tarverns to abuse alcohol, even the recent mob injustice that was being committed in most cases was by thugs from tarverns. Now look at this boy who killed his mother because she advised him to stop his bad habit, how many more innocent victims will we have because of alcohol abuse? This is too much ban tarverns until sanity is restored, how can we be a Christian nation with such vices?
And yet Lungu insists on having taverns, night clubs, shebeens etc. etc. open for business.
Zambia needs sober leaders.
Violence does not solve a problem. Very sad.
Ba Alex your mother is the most important being in your life. Even if she insults you you are not supposed to retaliate. Silently leave and go think about what makes you annoy her. Without a mother you are lost. You won’t succeed in your life
