We are asking our good president to send a good number of delegates , Zambia is very near and the president can afford to hire buses and minibuses to escort our president to go and attend The Late Sata Chilufya funeral , he should not worry about the foreign currency , there is plenty of Zambian Kwacha which he can change at Mchinji border.
Yendani mutipeza.Mafuta ndi omwe akwerawa.Tikadapita nanu koma mafuta ake tigula ndi chiyani?
lets hope Sata is safe, because this is the end of every man, get prepared 1 day it will be u & me have u met ‘JESUS’ B4 YOUR TIME COME
