  1. Its normal. No position is for life. We also need to give the younger generation an opportunity to lead. For example in my case I have left my previous role to take up another senior role. Movements in positions creates opportunities along the chain of command. Rest well mr CEO. Enjoy retirement. Myself I aim to retire in the next 10 years. Kz

  2. This is Indian company, they know its not looking good with covid-19 and they are jumping ship!

  3. By the way, I visited India a few years ago and couldn’t believe the racism against blacks there. They hate blacks more than gays there. So you can imagine how hard it was for me being a black gay man with British accent.

  4. You have no creativity no spine hence the reason you clone accounts Kz aka N3z the coon. All you can do is tarnish people like you do with Kz…sad boyo!!

  5. They can change CEOs as much as they want but their agenda remains the same – to rip off our resources big time. At least they could show some decency by donating some masks, sanitizers etc. for the hospitals and the Zambian work force.

  6. The corporate world is not like politics. If the targets you promise the board to achieve are not met and become a moving target, you either jump or get pushed.

  7. I hope the curry muncher Argalu, is it Argawal, his empire is splitting. Stupiod fyul!!!

  8. KAINZI ZURU, ARE YOU NOT THE ONE WHO WAS SUPPORTING INONGE WINA TO STAND IN 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS FOR PRESIDENCY. CAN NOT YOU SEE YOU ARE FEEDING YOURSELF WHAT YOU VOMITTED PREVIOUSLY? KANYAU IWE!
