Mad – Life you are a saddist and i know exactly who your are. You are a student at Greenwich in England, and Zambian. Please reflect on this sadistic comment and apologise for those comments!!
Those reported deaths are not confirmed. Has any one heard of any confirmation on the local media?
Condolences to the bereaved families and the nation at large.

#18 you are equally an i.diot and a sadist. #19 I totally agree with you comment.
no. 10 ulimukali, you are a sadist nomba niwe realist. u are not talking about those who have gone to the Lord but you are venting your anger on the evils of Kunda and Chiluba, who despite knowing that their life is on the knife’s edge are not repentant but are supporting our sensiless RB in plundering the little that we produce in the blessed ZED…….God save Zambia from these sharks!!!
