Who is Chanka Zimba? From originally what team in Z?
Patson Daka hasn’t scored a goal for the past two months. Scoring against Argentina? Katwishi.
Remember everything has collapsed in Zambia since 2021. I am doing research work and I visited 6 compounds in Lusaka yesterday, the squalor and poverty levels are irritating, visible and extremely bad. And people were promised a better life. Nobody expects a miracle but direction must show confidence that things will improve, so far from the feedback on the ground in areas visited there is nothing showing in that direction.
The predicted score remains:
Argentina 9 Zambia 0
I don’t even think there will be people in the stadium
@Agonising Hambwete The government is cleaning up the mess left by the people who defaulted paying the money they borrowed to tantamika you and give you for consumption.Only the economically illiterates expect overnight prosperity after years of mismanagement by pf.I guess you now know where the high cost of living is coming from? Most of our money in the budget, goes towards paying the debt pf left.
How old are you? Zambia has been a land of poverty since KK days cause of mismanagement of resources and poor planning. Stop lying to people pls.
