Relatives suspect no foul play and the body has since been deposited into Lubwe mission hospital mortuary awaiting burial.
Tough life under upnd. Many were led to believe that it would be heaven on earth with so many unrealistic promises. These people are now disappointed and taking their lives because these promises were just lies. Shame on you upnd
Mr.KZ ,you always have a bone to chew with the UPND. It is important that this time you spend commenting on every story ,you can use time to better your life and those around you.
He’s lived to a very ripe age. I’m sure people were paying attention to him during his illness.
