I WISH YOU WOULD SAY FAREWELL TO ZESCO TOP MANAGEMENT
I wish HH would bid farewell to Vedanta, Loadshedding and his cost of living.
1)Vedanta- I do not understand this one ether
2)Loadshedding- there was a terrible drought in Southern Africa which curtailed the electricity generation in Zambia. Michael Satan and Lungu borrowed and stole US $33 billion, and Zambia has to repay this by exporting electricity
3)The tribalists who voted for Michael Satan and Edgar Lungu are responsible for the high cost of living. This is because Lungu and Satan borrowed and stole US $33 billion. In order to service this debt Zambia has to raise the cost of everything.
No foreign minister appointed up to now there are no qualified people in the party so others must eat with both hands
No there’s Bill Kapinga and and and so many others
WE NOW ON 12 HRS till end of year !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loadshedding- there was a terrible drought in Southern Africa which curtailed the electricity generation in Zambia. Michael Satan and Lungu borrowed and stole US $33 billion, and Zambia has to repay this by exporting electricity. The tribalists who voted for Michael Satan and Edgar Lungu are responsible for this
Why is this news?
Because the Chinese ambassador left a good departing gift.
HH is a Tonga boy from Bweengwa. He will not steal. I do not agree with some of his policies, but then when you look at the mess he inherited, with country yoked to a US $33 billion debt incurred and looted by Michael Satan and Edgar Lungu, you have to realise that he has to dance to the tune of the people who supplied this debt.
A gift for Stanley Kakubo?
Ka chinese madam nikambama
