Things are tough under the illegal lungu regime such that respectable people in society are so desperate to engage in illegal activity just to make ends meet. Meanwhile lungu is globetrotting. Lungu is an evil rat
NEZ, Losing is good. As man try and forge ahead. You can not be this negative about the Zambian president all the time. Word of advise try to orgasm as much as you can, it will relieve your anger
TELL IT!
The is has almost approached the retirement age, am sure he has heard stories from his former workmates, how difficult it is under pf to get your retirement package.
One thing people should also take note of is that noble professions like those in the medical field, education field, and other civil service professions, the probability of you becoming a millionaire or billionaire is noto/zero, you don’t wait to get into business when you approaching or get retired, the best is start your business in your late teens to 45,fifty years and above try something just survival not necessarily to become a billionaire or millionaire you will just risk become a old prisoner, because you will be rushing to catch up on lost years.
Am a proud business man, a kachema by the way.
This is the same dude who was in jail for peddling MDA. He seems to be a hardened criminal. Selling drugs now caught with fake dollars. This guy has dumped his career as a pathologist and now has a new career as a criminal.
Strip him of his medical licence and involve Interpool to arrest those in ZAMPOST crime.
Ba Zambia I warned you the last time that if you allow transactions at border towns like Kasumba Lesa to be conducted in dollars, you would see an increase in fake dollars. I’m sure this is just a tip of the iceberg.
