Government is supposed to be there all the time. Not just emergencies! This is why we are where we are! But then, who am I?
Mwayamba kupempha nafuti.
LT any chance of RB`s story about his new appointments?
After all these years, with that vast Barotse Plain, and everyone’s knowledge that the plains get flooded from Nakatoya to Sinungu, Mapungu to Senanga village mwa Saana, we still want to be crying for food. Whats all that plain for if the rice we grow is not enough to feed us. Others have smaller plains but they do wonders with them. This country… I wish I was born in a more organised place! But BarotseLand was organised till the merger came. Good Lord…
Are you sure about your last line? How do you explain the effect of climate change in flood prone areas?
