THE WARM HEART OF AFRICA
A GOD FEARING NATION….
Disgusting and they wonder why this pitiful patch of land will never develop
while their high profile neighbors ( Tanzania, Zambia, Mozambique) are progressing
and developing their Nations.
THEY STEAL IN THE CHURCH… THEY PREACH HATE FOR OTHER HUMAN BEINGS IN THE CHURCH.. THEY KILL IN THE
CHURCH… RELIGION IS FOR THE HOPELESS…Blind faith is for the uneducated who listen and believe crap!
This country is pathetic and dangerous to say the least
Job well done.
Effects of poverty and unemployment are leading the youth to steal.
This is very pathetic.
If the church faithfuls kill who will forgive?
