      Have seen Bo Inonge this year? She needs rest, she looks more tired than Guy Scott.

  1. The only credible Vice President was Brigadier General Miyanda. Nevers, kalufyanya, is an ex convict. No need to recognise him.

  2. The Guy was overflowing with humour. His jokes made him coin two words in his government, chola-boy and zayelo. He was referring to himself and Given. Lusaka Central was his fertile backyard. I wonder why he was demeaned and nicknamed Muzungu o Pusa or Useful Coyote Idyotte. Times change.
