Yes its the PF Govt due to its economic failure the driver was concentrating on how he will feed his family us in UNIP i mean UPND will make sure RP doesn’t allow MMD to feed FDD genetic food to Mulyokela.

This bus was going to Mwinulunga with UPND defectors where Ben Kapita had earlier defected to PF hence was HH’s evil to cause an accident to the innocent souls as North Western is undergoing storm while PF are defecting to PF.

Cause of accident not included. Tumfweko probably plagiarising an article from mwebantu. Sad though.

They will make a policy to ensure that all Tickley drivers take routes which do not meet copper ladden trucks.
‘They’ in the UPND will make us ALL rich so that every grade 7 pupil will have a helicopter to travel in and monitor the elections. Vote undp, alaleee! Upnd!

It gives sad reading when people decide to take death lightly and joke about it. A clear case that the above comments are all pf cadres because upnd does not entertain stupidity. Back to serious issues. We in the upnd pass our sincere condolences to the driver’s family and also wish quick recovery to those injured. It seems under pf accidents have become order of the day. The pf keeps building sub standard roads without planning. They do not understand the need to re plan networks to meet increase in car ownership. Sad

Sorry NEZ. People are not taking death lightly but just taking a shot at you for politicizing everything.

If you are not an Engineer leave the technical stuff to the Engineers and specialists, PLANNING of road networks doesnt result into a good road, its good design, well selected construction material, good contractor and finally a good supervising Engineer. Prompt payments is a bonus.

you are giving the wrong person that advice. Please inform your party the PF on that good advice.

Problem he behaves like he knows technical sh!t how can he say “The pf keeps building sub standard roads without planning” Like planning in itself will result in strong roads. Thanks tell your namesake!

if you in PF know what the problems are with your road building strategies then why are you failing to implement them?

To both NEZ and his clone NEZ: If I was in PF definitely I would be heading a Technical ministry and making sure my acumen is well appreciated, since Iam not too bad. So leave issues of my party aside, I care less. Under the Govt of my choice party being a well schooled person with 4 degrees in different disciplines I can be AN ASSET in Medicine & Public Health, Engineering, Law & Justice, and Science & Technology to any party, even Mulyokela. Ha ha ha, you too mukose bane I have a twisted brain…

it’s so sad that after such a tragedy, all people can do is insult each other. Anyway, this is Zambia.The real Africa. It’s at such moments when you wish you were not Zambian. The issues we should be talking about now are-
1) The need to transport most of our heavy Cargo through Railways
2) The need to increase the number of Dual Highways(Dual Carriageways)
3) Need to widen our roads and increase maintenance on such roads
4) Need to speed up the introduction of Toll gates to collect more revenue for the maintenance and construction of roads.
and a lot of more brilliant ideas that can come from your brilliant minds countrymen and women so that our roads can be made safer and comfortable.
