Mumapangira ntchito zowola manyi mufa nonse
Iwe ndi chitsiru cha munthu. Ukuona ngati iweyo sudzafa?
Some people can be very heartless.
May his soul rest in peace
Sad for the family but u really want Permission to attend the funeral,contract the virus and die too??Pepani koma mwina ndibwino kuwotcha like they are doing elsewhere.
Bauleni, we have all read the article and nowhere is it mentioned that some people want permission to attend the funeral.
Satanic mindset you have
May his soul rest in peace in Jesus name Amen
God, Help your people.
Sad to hear of the deaths. The UK hospitals have a lot of spare capacity including ICU beds hence no one is refused hospital admission. Secondly, the UK is now starting to see flattening of the curve and not steeping.
RIP.
Infact he went to the hospital and was sent back saying he was too strong and didn’t require admission. His close relations spoke to him yesterday and was so confident that he was going to get wel. Rest in peace Best. May the good Lord comfort Meriah during this difficult time
Yes capacity for whites. Racism doesn’t exist on paper only.
May his soul rest in peace.
