Za atumbuka izi.
Usilu munkapanga ndi Pitala konko.apa akanawatulutsanso a chitsiruwa
Hell hath no fury like a cop assaulted.
I’m sure that some overzealous rookie cop will “baptise ” the inkosi with a few slaps just to remind him that in the Tonse dispensation, nobody is above the law; not even the President, let alone a chief.
Stupid chief…let him face the music and that way he will learn to respect men in uniform as he would like others to respect his robes….
NYEKHWE IYI A MTWALO….muponenge yayi., mwamunjira ndithu!! Kuzolowera ndeu zakung’ombe komamnso Tchaka Zulu….apapa siziyenda ndithu!!!
Ngiyaxolisa inkosi, uyahamba ePrison.
It very pathetic for a senior chief to assult police officer who is also on dut. For he thought, assulting the officer will cause fear in the victim and fail to perform. It is high time that, we must respect our brothers and sisters who are in duty to protect the civilian. May the law work on him.
