It seems Vacancies in Foreign mission are never completely filled up! tell us more…
Am happy for Mr Mangani, the man is really humble. Despite the frustration he went through at the hands of Kabimba, he took it cool, that is maturity- congrats.
Despite yo inciting him bwana he resolved to remain pf. How i wish Mr Mangani the best! U never wanted Taima not to stand fi opo imwee . Why should u accuse pf of sidelining him? Nganifi zwd ,ubushilu bweka fye.The idio ts their conscience is dead.
