  1. You reap what you sow. At least he has taken it like a man and accepted sentence. We wish the likes of kambwili would accept their wrong doing and serve their time so that he gets rehabilitated.

  2. @KZ apparently the convict is a woman.. I first also thought it was a man. Anyhow, this should deter others from emulating. There are no shortcuts to success, that’s why even the Scripture tells us that “he who does not work, neither shall he eat…” (Thessalonians 3:10)

  3. KZ,NEEDS SERIOUS REHAB.I THINK WHEN HE WAS BORN HE HIT THIS HEAD ON THE GROUND.AND WHEN HIS MOTHER SEES HIM SHE FEELS THE LABOUR PAINS OF HIM IMMEDIATELY. NO BWINO BWINO IN YOUR MIND

  4. Kaiser Zulu start preparing for your jail time which is fast approaching bwana .

    Its really sad that PF has actually recruited a lot of unqualified cadres as ghost teachers and put them of teachers payroll. That should snitch to have her sentence reduced.

    Under PF and Lungu too much corruption and embezzlement happening. But as the old African saying puts; nothing lasts for ever. Soon all PF thugs including Lungu and Kaiser will see jail.
