Typical, that in the article the police officer is not mentioning that those suspects are all PF criminal cadres! If they would have been UPND it would have been all over the page!
It’s not my time yet to lead. I am still learning from my mentors. Leadership is not something you rush into for selfish reasons. Just look at hh, losing over 5 elections because he is a premature wannabe leader. When my time comes, you will be the first to know

Kaizer Zulu don’t make fun when people lose lives in whatever circumstance by labeling as UPND thugs as though they are not Zambians who you are supposed to take care of. What is the problem if one belongs to UPND? Show remorse whenever there is a loss of lives. In a normal situation people are supposed to be travelling in buses which are meant to carry passengers not goods.
