The new normal. A second wave is expected world wide. We just need to be sensible and exercise caution. Comply with presidential directives. Don’t try to be a punk to prove a point. You have been advised
At last! I am with you on this and your other post. No criticism.
Btw dr chilufya is doing a great job given the circumstances in his personal life at the moment. Attending court but still carrying out his duties diligently is something to be admired. Very strong man
Coronavirus is a disaster; just the number of people that have died World Wide speaks volumes (more than half million)

8,307,537
PF and Mr.Lungu are not helping with the fight against COVID,….they hold rallies and protests and they dont follow any guideline. Crooked and corrupt Dr Chilufya last week brought 100s of cadres to courts.
Things are getting worse because of PF.
I dont buy the stupi.dity from KZ that this is global…nonsense, what about in Namibia, Botwana, Malawi etc where leaders are serious and dearth numbers are contained?
Covid-19 made Chilufya look more presidential than KBF, and PF panicked, run to ACC to stop him challenge the international accused Edgar. Hence create leadership vacuum at ministry of health.
So if it wasn’t for Presidential candidate in fights in PF, number of covid cases would have been below 500.
– only a new Minister of Health will stop coronavirus in Zambia.
– Or let ministry of defence take charge of covid, but they have no minister too.
Ba Edgar can’t also face Zambians at moment, he is facing Rwandanese.
This is chaos.
His plane was spotted in Rwanda in the early hours of today. What’s he doing there? KZ could you enlighten us on his whereabouts?
We need Hon. Lusambo doing the rounds again! Fast…….
Chishimba Kambwili must be happy now that people are dying
Only a fool can trust these thieves with numbers anyway I stated that these morons can’t manage a pandemic they are too corrupt.
Or so we have been told. Might even be more than this.
Shushushu you are right. CK is now happ that numbers are going up! This is detrayal. Them when addressing their cadres are always putting on masks but at the same time doubting if there is covid-19. And stupid people listen to them that there is no Corona. Now water is above the kneels let them tell them that they were being foolish by confusing the people! Rubbish!!! Ukwangala nemyeo ya Bantu! God you said you can even use stones to worship you. Teach these opposition a lesson by allowing them not. Too much ulupato…!
Shushushu you are right. CK is now happy that numbers are going up! This is betrayal. Them when addressing their cadres are always put on masks but at the same time accusing govt for inflating the numbers. Really! And stupid people listen to them that there is no Corona. Now water is above the kneels let them tell them that they were being foolish by confusing the people! Rubbish!!! Ukwangala nemyeo ya Bantu! God you said you can even use stones to worship you. Teach these opposition a lesson by allowing them not. Too much ulupato…!
These are Lusaka and Copperbelt numbers. Unfortunately, we’ll never know the numbers from the marginalized rural communities who just burry their own dead without a clear diagnosis. It’s also unfortunate that most COVID deaths are coming as BIDs. Does it mean most people have no confidence in our hospitals and would rather die at home than in hospital due to lack of medicines or people are afraid of going to hospitals for fear of getting COVID? This is not a good verdict on our health delivery system. Most government hospitals and clinics have chronic poor customer relations! No one would go to a hospital where the first thing they get is being shouted at!
Those figures are ilegit coming from a man who is facing serious allegations of theft whose frame of mind is unstable. Currently he loathes ACC, against Zambians he has robbed, a disgrace to his family for he is a thief. How then do you expect him to say truthfully that his figures are credible. Even if they were, because Zambians have lost confidence in him therefore, false.
