    By the time Rupiah Banda is out of power Henry Banda and his brothers will be $ billionaires. There is always method within the chaos created by criminal despots. The method is always to loosen the moral fibre and institutions of society and then to take advantage of the resulting vacuum.

    We are yet to see strange things in Zambia. One wonders what our leaders are paid for. RB has completely failed to govern the country. The sooner he is removed from power the better for the future generation. Am sure now RB is thinking of which country to visit next. That is all he is good at.

    Fuel Shortages
    Power load shedding

    Nothing new here…please move on folks!
    How do you expect tourist’s to visit Livingstone when buses cant get there unless they purchase fuel from some shoddy boot container vendor.
    It gives a great impression to foreigners.
