Katundu, real men. Well done HH, we are still suffering but the direction is good, at least we are out of the wilderness where the rejected party the PF dumped us
HH its high time you addressed the nation and answered some question…you are now featuring in so many of these working day by election campaigns…I remember Mwanawasa never wasted time with these things
Working visits campaigning for Council Chairperson i think he can do much better than this, if the president can take leave and go to campaign for council position then where is the SG, party mobilization team pa ground. i see a problem in the party for such the head all what he needs are resoults from his team.
From 1964 people have been told not to turn their backs on the people who put them in power…..more backs have been turned on us and the number keeps on growing with each change of government.
I hate liars with a passion..God help me.
Says the monkey who is always flying around in the presidential jet he claimed he would sell. Go to hell you failure of a president l.
By the way we warned you that Mr Simon mwewa Lane was a mere upnd cadre. A very useless childish baby pig who has refused to grow up
In this country servant are driven in expensive vehicles, tour the country at the mention of a bye election and fly in private Jets. HH does not visit any part of this country unless there is an election in the area. He only goes to tell more lies. Government since colonial times regularly employs teachers, health workers etc. Free education up to grade 12 in government school has always been there. He has avoided to talk about fuel, fertilizer, mealie meal, cooking oil and the cost of living which used to be his song 14 months ago.
In the constitution review we should include clipping some of the powers the president has. That way they will be careful in whatever they say or do. If the president of the mighty USA or the PM of Great Britain can be impeached or removed what is so special about a president of a mick mouse country.
These fellows are more powerful than God so to say…….we choose whether to go to church or not….but with these fellows even suggesting that someone is Muslim would land you in jail.
What ever you say is useless and shows that you are not patriotic but a terrible chancer who took advantage of a sick Leader of PF by not taking him to hospital in time.
