Ngati izi ndi zowona kutidi Kondowe sakuzidziwa ndiye kuti he is a trust wealth man.
Koma mafunso anga ndi awa:
1. Kodi majid anayitenga kuti acoount number ya kondowe kuti iye akapange deposit ndalama ku account yo?
2.Kondowe anadziwa bwanji kuti ku account kwake kwalowa 2m? Ali pa sms alert service ya bank yo?
