  3. @Tarino Orange You are one sadist person. What’s the harm in getting help from developed nations? Don’t find fault in everything that government does. No one is paying the chiefs to buy them out. Do you think they are so gullible?

  5. @Zambian You can prefer not to get vaccinated. But that will put your life in danger. You can also die of Covid19. If you die prematurely, your life mission of criticising PF and President Lungu will remain incomplete. So, why don’t you get vaccinated so that you live to criticise PF?

  10. Amidst the news about political violence and politicising the pandemic, this is something to cheer about. Hope the good for nothing opposition realises that there are some things above the politics.

  12. There’s no begging here very few African governments can fund the covid vaccines be real it’s not even a disease that began here…..
