  1. What kind of guard is that who sleeps on duty as early as midnight? He has a lot to explain..

  2. So thieves stole because it rained on that night? This doesn’t make sense bs journalism and you tell the guard was asleep on duty? Then you don’t need a guard if this guy is in deep sleep at midnights.

  3. I’m told stealing is increasing, now they are even stealing from churches because of hunger.

  4. And this is the nation they call a Christian nation; people stealing from a church; i forgot that their leader said that ubomba mwibala alya mwibala; he who works in the field eats / steals from the same field;

  5. And how can you keep K20,000 in the church which is just a hall??? How can you keep forcing people to pay tithe without using it?? Thieves have enjoyed the tithe for UCZ.

  6. @Daka Bushe ulomfwa, ala baletila at baiba ifipe ifili no mutengo uwinga fika pali K20,000.00 te actual money. Iwe Chipata guy. Any way very sad for the thieves because we read the bible: thy shall not steal.
