  1. Moderator, am at a loss myself! Sounds silly, but one day i woke up, started blogging and lo and behold! Kwisa dabwa flag imbi imbi! Katwishi nga ni Uganda nangu shani! Kuchita shani kanshi, pantu tayiweme nangu panono!

  2. My thoughts are with the families of the youngsters. Actually I hail from Chief Kawaza’s area and am conversant with the day to day challenges that the communities face. These challenges are replicated in all the country side and that is why as bloggers, the element of analysis devoid of insults is important. We must always debate with a view of giving to mother Zambia and getting from the country! MTSRIEP!
