  1. that is the spirit mr lungu and that is why you will be re-elected as prisdent of the republican of zambia in 2021 to.

    you are welcome.

  2. Lungu slow off the mark (again) congratulating Kagame.

    BTW, Kagame won fair and square. His people truly love him, and appreciate his efforts.

    Zambia is a much bigger country in size compared to Rwanda. And yet, we look up to them. It is embarrassing.

    How I wish ECL could see the wood from the trees, and start working towards uniting and developing this limping country of ours.

  3. Are their no other capable people to leader Rwanda?
    Why are Africans subjected to one individual president for almost eternity?
