Let us now work on our own and be productive.Arm chair critics must throw their chairs and work.Na ba priest ba zi nkala na tu minda to Lima.Mufuna ulutoshi.Manje ulutochi luza choka kuti ngati si mu Lima.
Oh my God! Muleta you broken my ribs. Ulutoshi must be matched with hard work. Yes let every town dweller have a Lima or an acre of land. The stories of Buunga, Bwali should be a thing of the past. Civil servants in Mumbwa are self reliant and I can attest to that, because they cultivate the land. ZAF officers have adopted the same stance.
