cargo rider(finale wa kabaza)

being a music artist is not a career so please do not force people to earn you a living, gwirani ntchito ngati mukufuna ndalama, by the way no one forces you to do music, be realistic, mmalo mokambirana za ulimi othilira(massive irrigation schemes) or empowering local commercial fammers to boost their produce you are busy promoting lazy people to earn money by force, pathetic government and citizens!!!

Big up Chilenga. You can not force a private business how they should be running it. This is a liberalised economy. Station have different audiences as per their mandates as private businesses
