Jealous Has Destroyed Zambian-Uncle T

Jealous Has Destroyed Zambian-Uncle T

Lusaka businessman Trevor Ng’andu known as Uncle T believes a political hand maybe at play by those that want to bring his cocktail business down because of his association with top Patriotic Front(PF) members like Kabwata MP Given Lubinda.

 

The anti-Patriotic Front(PF) on-line media have directed their knives on Uncle T’s local cocktail beer(vima capu) business, accusing him of adding  ethanol and manhattan to his locally brewed beer to increase its effective.

The on-line media outlets reported that a woman by the name of Grace Nampande died at University Teaching Hospital(UTH) after consuming vima capu.

But  Uncle T dismissed as malicious talks that he adds toxic substances to his cocktail

He said after reading a story from social media that one of his customers had died after drinking vima cup, he rushed to UTH to verify the story and found that there was no record of a woman named Grace Nampande dying as a result of his brewed beer.

Uncle T said the Ministry of Health took samples of his brewed beer and it was ascertained that it was fit for human consumption.

“When I heard the story on social media that one of my customers had passed away after consuming vima capu, I rushed to the UTH to prove the authencity of story, only to find that there was no record of a woman named Grace in the UTH registry. It was a blatant lie. I challenge you members of the press to go to UTH and find out what I am  saying,” he said, ” I have been in business for a long time and I am a Christian who wouldn’t want to shed blood,” he said.

Uncle T said the pulling him down syndrome and petty jealousy has destroyed Zambia.

“If it is a foreigner who has set up a business, people say nothing but if it is a Zambia, they say all sorts of things like ‘why has become successful, he is a satanist.’This pull him down syndrome should come to an end. I started my business in 1997 with K10 000 rebased but I had a plan and vision,” Uncle T said.

Asked whether this could be politically motivated since he is close to senior PF officials, Uncle T responded in the affirmative.

 

“Well, I am close to honourable Given Lubinda and our friendship is beyond politics. If that is a reason people want to bring me down then that is unfortunate,” Uncle T said,” I am a business so I have to mingle with people irrespective of their political affiliation. ”
