Mupeso is a failed man in journalism. The man was director at Multi Media who used to produce a newspaper called the National Mirror and he ran it DOWN. How do you expect this man to deliver? he was saw happy just to have another job hence was willing to do a ka sebana wikute…vuvuzela!

Magandu appointment is good. But its trategy. He was involved in FNB,Postnewspaper and zambian airways deal. He is suppose to take care of the dubious deals among the three. FNB will cancel the credit post newspaper owed the Bank for the puchase of shares in Zambian airways..Then the govt will “give” post some money and magande will revamp zambian airways as a state airline.. Then he will be retired.

Good move we don’t see any development in our media despite paying K3000 TV levy per month. All we have seen is people at ZNBC getting fat, maybe that’s the purpose of TV levy.It’s really a good move to sweep out all the corrupt fatsos’ from offices.

what’s the difference between firing and sacking? I thought it’s either you use fire or sack, not both in the same sentence…I’m just saying

Isnt Maduma too too old for the job??? I thought the PF govt is supposed to be built on novelty & innovativeness! It appears the youth are having a raw deal after all! But, again, may be I’m just dreaming! Let me wait for the morning!

Eddi boi, do not worry , more jobs will be created and I have hope that you will get a job at SABC.The exprience u have at ZNBC will earn u a job at BTV or malawi tv.But wait a minute, given your CV of political vuvusela and being fired on national tv which is on DSTV is it possible for you to get a job?My brother it calls for change of career, your CV has been internationally dented. Amen…
