UPND fulfillment of the campaign prmises gone south!!!
Vi ma cadres va Fred Mumembe, useless chaps
Did he forget it or it was left there for someone to pick up to go on some mission? How does it coincide with the day of judgement?
Is someone trying to organize to shoot someone to try and replicate what happened with Nsama Nsama and the other person?
What about the registration of youths for 2026 jobs in ZNS, was it for that? Or the youths were to be transported to Lusaka to cause riots?
This man should be interrogated very well.
