God help us, what is really going on
This never happened under pf. Suicide rates have gone up under upnd. A clear sign that things have gotten worse since we left. More suffering.
So the seven year old was home alone? Parents/guardians talk to the kids. They have issues too and don’t stress over small stuff. Don’t turn your frustrations on them.
A rather drastic measure taken by a seven year old. I think there is more to this than authorities have been led to believe. Very sad.
Take suicide bodies to your Mutale whatever, she started all these nonsense.
Last year she went naked, and all your daughters followed suit. Now this nonsense.
Meanwhile has anyone seen the list of youths stranded in Ukraine. It was published on Zambian Observer, 97% all from two regions – Northern and Eastern.
I mourned the innocent soul
VERY SAD SITUATION
