Paul Banda aka Just Slim has purposefully combined well with Michael Phiri aka Mic this time yet with another hit entitled“Nikukonde” his second official single for 2018.

Nikukonde, which is an immediate follow up to Mi Want Yuh (featuring Cactus Agony). In the song a man is promising a lady with nothing but pure and unequalled love, whilst appealing to the same lady to let go completely of all fake promises she is being tormented with by some fake men!

Just Slim with his collaborations, it appears, has vowed to be an epitome of brilliance and ear-soothing where modern club music genre is concerned, going by his excellent and well polished vocals. Mic showcases his usual guitar virtuosity.

The song not only boasts of sober language usage in its composition but it is also danceable whilst upholding the utmost unparalleled creativity and originality, produced by Eselayem and Mic.

Veteran Sports administrator Simataa Simataa has said that he was a schoolmate of President Edgar Lungu at Mukuba Secondary School in Kitwe and that People like People’s Party President Mike Mulongoti and New Labour Party President Fresher Siwale have no traceable history.

Reacting to assertions made by the duo on Prime TV that President Edgar Lungu is not the person he says he is and that he stole someone’s identity, Mr Simataa said  that he met the president at Mukuba Secondary School in 1974 where the President was his senior and prefect.

“People like Mike are the ones with untraceable background, we don’t know their primary schools, their secondary school, they were not prefects or students at any college say Evelyn Hone or NIPA, they have acquired their degrees online in old age. Mike himself has no traceable history,” Mr Simataa said

The veteran sports administrator further said that the two later met as students at the University of Zambia.

Mr Simataa said: “His Excellency President Edgar Chagwa Lungu was a prefect and I mean our prefect at the time, he is a Chimwemwe Product, he was my senior and I want to state here that he was a very well known figure not because he was rich or poor, no, he was well known because he was exceptionally intelligent and among the few students that Mukuba produced that went to Unza with Six points.

“At Unza, he was my senior, he was exceptionally intelligent and brilliant. State Counsel Wynter Kabimba can testify to this,” Mr Simaata said.

Mr Simataa said: “This man is a very humble man and he is like that, he has been like that, he was among the few graduates from Unza who got straight enrolled from Ziale to the Banking World Barclays Bank under the legal department before that the President worked under legal Aid under the supervision of the current chief justice Ireen Mambililima. His history is traceable, we knew his Mother Amai Jere, she was a Marketeer. Those who are peddling lies unfortunately they don’t have any idea about the man. Not all Zambians can be born in UTH.”
