That is a plus for PF’s Govt. someone will not want to hear that. Let us give credit where it is due and criticism where it is due and not blanket criticism. There has been a lot of positive developments in Zambia but little do we hear an aota of acknowledgement from vocal guarters. Instead all we hear is incenssant criticisms bordering on hate and sour grapes.
How is it a plus? Some other people come to your country to show you how to stop stealing is a plus?

Let’s roll! It is UNELECTABLE.
