  3. In our community we have a mentally challenged young man. I asked him what projects the president was coming to inspect. He simply told me…bushe mwalipena? He continued…tamulemona project yama elections ku Kwacha naku Kabushi?
    Simply put even a child can see through this lie.

  4. Why is he even campaigning when this is going to be a walkover ( that’s if the stay by the court is ignored). Without Malanji and lusambo it’s like going unopposed.

  5. Kitwe – Ndola dual carriageway has collapsed within a few years. It was a raw deal. I’ll support you if you get annoyed over this. The black mountain is almost finished and the empowered youths are still very broke. You were misled. ECL de-gazetted the land covering Mipundu and Maposa, the government surveyors haven’t moved in up to now. People are anxious. Traveling mercies.
