Equally on this platform some crooks have been impersonating HH are ECL . Zambia Reports trace and reprimand them. Their low quality English clearly testify that.

Good job. in fact go through all fb accounts for public officers including her honor the vice, finance minister etc there are many fake accounts in their names. bring these lowlifes to book so that others can learn from them.

This is very really and very disheartening. You would be thinking you are communicating with the First Lady of his Excellence when in actual fact these people are just waiting your time. So sad. Make an example of him.

Let the law take it’s course and continue punishing these culprits coz they have swindled a lot from people and should given maximum sentences…

The idiot needs the deserving punishment. Remaining ones should be dealt with. Thanks to the law.

Ithink that’s nice development and also make sure even those doing the same are caught and given a stiff punishment so that they refrain from their bad deeds.
