Pointing fingers at each other at this time wont help matters we are all zambians and let us condemn all forms of violence with the contempt it deserves and above all love one another,let us also learn to co-exist as political parties.

Thats why we are simply commanded to repent and turn away from our sins and get our hearts changed. You can condemn the killings but if you are not transformed yourselves am sure you are killers yourselves by aborting, witchcraft, hatred, satanism and sacrifices and the issue of terrible Jesuits who am reliably told are killers. What are you talking about let others talk.

WARM ADVICE FROM A CONCERNED CHUCH. IN ADDITION, MY ADVICE TO HH FACTION IS THAT “PLSE DO AWAY WITH YOUR MAPATIZYA FORMULAR”. WHO KNOWS, THE GENERAL ZAMBIANS MAY ONE DAY WANT TO RETALIATE WITH THE SAME OR USE ADVANCED ONES LIKE CHACHACHA etc.
