Its very interesting, Mazabuka is a small town but there are very crazy events taking place there. Lastest events. Cattle rustllers detained by Chieftainess Mweenda. Chief Mwanachingwala in Land wranlgle with another chief from Monze, Chief Mwanachingwala marries off 18 years old daughter, Kachasu brewers detained. Tow pupils drawn in dam etc. That small town is full of sweet events and this is a town that did not experience economic down turn apart from Albidon Mine.
# 2 You forgot about the numerous defilement cases involving Ba “Nyengo”, the cane cutters usually imported from Kalabo.

am sure it is for personal use kumulekafye am sure wakuchipata kwena nintambi
Ku Mazabuka, day in day out its dobo
You forger about the old lady who threatened the COPS of being bewitched if they went ahead to arrest her. Albidon is also about to reopen. The sweet town of Mazabuka.
Im married from there. May be it be one of the reasons a couldnot resist this Tonga lady from Mazabuka. The sweet place full of crazy things and dealings. Hon Munji Beenzu who exposed a SEX SCAM at Parliament Motel also comes from there.
I smell a rat here ba LT. Hon Munji Habeenzu exposed what a wrote in my earlier contribution which is awaiting moderation. What Hon Munji exposed even led ot serious confrontations where Hon Shakafuswa even said that women are there to be screwed. Surely ba LT what did Hon Munji Habeenzu expose at Parliament Motel. What is it that you are moderating. Where does Hon Munji come from. Is it no Mazabuka. Ba LT read thru the contributions and understand the context onf the contribution before you breed hatred like M’membe
DEC should just be reasonable. America’ economy is as a result of drugs, weapons etc.
Why cant we legalize the stuff and introduce 40% tax. This is the only way we can develop. We should not copy everything done by the west. its time we used our brains for our benefit not copying or accepting what you are told by Dem guys from da west.
By the way which Zambian scientist conducted a research to prove that the weed is harmful to pipo? . we have had this for ages. it is not an exotic plant to plant to zambia our fore fathers used it hence the names- TUKWANOSHA, TULYABAYUNI, FYAKAWACHINGONI, IBANGE ETC
Andie mwamba! That’s nice there is a lot of sense in what you said man, more on the issue of tax.
Lt the whole day of comment moderation. Just ban me if you feel I have broken your rules. Please donot behave like ZNBC. Be independent and resolute
GOOD THINGS ARE HATED BY THE EVIL WORLD. BUT IF THE SAID STAFF WAS DISTRIBUTING CONDOMS, THE WORLD WAS GOING TO CELEBRATE BECAUSE PROSTITUTION IS GOOD FOR THE EVIL WORLD.iam sure,Zambia will one day realise that ITS BLESSED with the starch GOLD.
