This is bad sentence construction by LT. The heading creates the impression that 5 policemen have died while searching for missing footballers
#3 Chilekwa, I thought the same that the Police have drowned too. I even picked up phone to call my Police friend in Nchelenge, who never picked phone and I wept!!! My tears goes to those who dead.
I hope they won’t be any Kuomboka this year. I have bad feeling for the Lozis.
Who is feared dead,Police or Congo team?
It is like the Police searching for the 5 Congo players are feared drowned…I thought it was a double tragedy! My heart goes to the families of the 5 Congolese players. May God comfort you!
