It’s high time Chilangwa and Chitotela started serving their jail terms. They keep on appealing to buy extra time and forget that we have been waiting for justice for 3 years.
These 2 old men organised an extremely violent team of cadres that burnt the campaign vehicle for UPND. Now they must pay back for their crimes. At the time, they thought they were above the law. Now they know they were being naive.
