Good news to the peacemakers but bad and shameful news to the Purveyors of toxic news who have been pushing a negative narrative that there is bad blood between us and our Twin brother Zim. We will wait for their comments and blogs on 14 November, but I am sure they will find something else to spin, like they did after they were pushing the President to visit China on the Debt issue and when he finally visited, they went mute.
What can the haters and propagandists say now with their speculations? Are they not just ashamed now? They wanted to do the same on his Tanzanian visit, but he shamed them. Hakainde has no time for detractors, he is always a focused person.
