There’s no doubt it, Saki is definitely a master story-teller. Before former president Edgar Lungu collapsed on The Past Magazine like a ton of breaks and sent it to its early grave at Chingwere, we always relished and looked forward to reading his articles. We found them quite enthralling and insightful indeed.
So, when he finally took to the podium during the first citizens press briefing, he recounted a scintillating anecdote about the alleged disappearance of one Cool J, a powerful man in the village. Saki was at his best as usual! He could easily mint himself gold if he tried his luck in Bollywood or Nollywood.
For the next one hour or so, he held his audience spellbound as he gave an account of how aliens trailed a limousine that somehow found itself on a quiet road during the witch hour. The spaceships caught up with him and blocked his vehicle. They punched a small hole in the screen and extracted Cool J’s from the automobile and took him away to the moon!
“They nailed him to the Cross with blunt nails as they begun interrogating him…..” narrated Saki in measured tones.
“They pulled his tongue with a pliers to force answers from his mouth….,” he continued. “Who is financing ECL? Why are you always in his company? Who is giving you information on what the government is planning? How do you get to where you are going and avoid being seen? Who is financing your movements so that you are always with ECL like the holy spirit…..”
The audience murmured in shock. Saki goes on to explain that when the aliens no longer had use for Cool J, they resolved to feed him to the crocodiles in the Kafue river.
However, on their way to the river, Angels appeared in their spaceship and clouded their minds. Suddenly, they started arguing and quarreling between themselves whether they should feed Cool J to the reptiles or not.
They eventually abandoned Cool J by the river bank and took flight!
Almost immediately, Cool J’s friends from the big boat arrived and whisked him away to the hospital where they gave him a loaf of bread, an entire roll of polony and a case of fruiticana to eat as the Chef hadn’t yet reported. Cool J was known to have a grand appetite. He had just gone half-way through his mundane meal when paras stormed the ward where he was accomodated and took him away for questioning!

Yaba, this is a Master piece. I like it.
Bill Kapinga, Mark Simuuwe and Sikaile Sikaile, and their articles are of course well known…They are the Propagandists of the UPND, but unfortunately they are below average, and now sounding rather stale.. Very few people bother even reading them . Looking like their propaganda sojourn has reached its expiry date.
Would rather wait for the completion of investigations before making fun of people who might actually have been in real danger..It is immoral. Sakwiba Sikota is a respected lawyer, and he has led a Honourable life…I doubt if he can throw all this and choose to be party to an abduction which never was. He is explaining what his client told him. Let’s wait for the Police to do their work .
They all think through the prism of THE region,ie think within the box!!
Shut your the mouth before you know the truth as with the learned lawyer.He is implicating his client instead of serving him.
Typical Mr Angryson response.
