All we get to hear are speaches pa manda how govt Is mourning with the bereaved. (SOBBING!!!!! )when is this drama ever going to end….
its called mas burial….not mass grave….lol
Lusaka Times never learn, they made the same mistake, with the other Chibombo accident by mistakenly announcing a mass grave instead of a mass burial.
Editor is sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeping. There is a big difference. Any way, MTSRIP
Please i beg mr president please i beg you in the name of our jesus our savior something have to be down its too much we have lost a lot of pipo in road accident please inforce the law of traffic..lets forgat about the RB, the HH AND THE WINTERS ITS TIME TO ACT.
Is it mass grave or mass burial mwe bantu? We need to pay attention to detail; the two are very different.
PLEASE employ serious proof readers and sub editors. You can not have a story with wrong grama and English. The minibus victims can never be buried in a mass grave as if they have died after a contegeous disease. for Christ’s sake its MASS FUNERAL with individual graves. MASS GRAVE means putting all the bodies in one grave.
May the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of the Lord rest in peace!
When you are feeling stressed from your many challenges of parenthood, can
remember the quiet times together with your child, whilst in mind that childhood won’t last forever. Whichever lovey you ultimately choose, try to associate it just with naptime and bedtime so that you don’t encourage over-dependence around
the object for your baby to feel safe.
