And you say we have a working government. Jokers
Attention!, a well known and determined cretin is back on the Tumfweko tabloid platform with the agenda to amplify his propaganda in a tilted manner suiting a certain god of a leader’s ambition. He’s been reported to ‘ve gone into hibernation and comes out as a fired stray bullet into the ‘political’ arena.
Ignore my earlier comment. It is foolish to blame the government for everything.

Poor workmanship. Engineers with degrees obtained through leakages.What have Zambian Engineers and Researchers invented since the establishment of the University, absolutely nothing not even a plough or a hoe.Marubbish .
people from universities are not inventors but job seekers look at our professors eg kandu luo always praising chishimba kambwili and dancing for him
Do pipo still use train as a form of transport with the availability of road transport? When do you get to your destination?
