    What party does boyd soko belong to ? Why did you not mention this ?

    LT you are now a PF vuvuzella….

  5. We live in a period where police men are cadas, they do not do their jobs professionally in the sense that they are just sent by a certain political part in power. How leaders in power at the moment who have mis behaved and not one has been arrested? Police men and women, as a concern citizen let do our job professional and not follow nor be selective when it comes to political parties. UPND members have been victims to be arrested by police, mean while the problematic party is pf. Why working like cadas police men and women?
