@MRA_Malawi@lbjoza Brenda is lucky she shared her story on social media, there are a lot of businesses who have similar stories but don't have platforms.

The Commissioner General of the MRA, Mr. Tambulasi, this morning hosted Brenda Driano and her husband, John Kudzala, for a roundtable discussion at Msonkho House.
Hapa architect really spoke to my heart directly. This is an elegant bungalow. Pocket friendly in this economy and can fit literally anywhere either huko ocha ama in town. To the old or even Gen Z.
I also love the fact that ameweka gari zangu za site mbili hapo just the way I would dream having them.

@CreedKhebu@Rashid_LE@Kukwithu For that price or lower, I would get a much better land in old Area 43 or area 10.
By the way, area 47 is middle density. It’s never been low density in case you do not know

@daddyhope@joseph_kalimbwe Let Lungu’s family take a dose of his own medicine. He did the same to Kaunda’s family. Your argument about someone showing leadership does not hold in this case.
South African Foreign Minister Ronald Lamola is appealing to the Zambian government and the family of former President Edgar Lungu to find common ground outside the court process so that he can be buried. He has been lying in a mortuary for close to 10 or 11 months. This is deeply embarrassing.
What is wrong with the Zambian government? Why is it so fixated on fighting over a dead body when the family does not want him to be buried under those conditions?
I am aware of the argument from supporters of President Hakainde Hichilema, who say that Edgar Lungu did something similar to the family of former President Kenneth Kaunda, when he denied Kaunda’s wish to be buried next to his wife Betty and insisted on a presidential burial site.
But even if that is the case, how do you justify a situation where, nearly 11 months later, a former head of state is still lying in a mortuary in a foreign country?
At some point, leadership must prevail. Why can the current president not rise above this and say, “…we could continue fighting and wasting taxpayers’ money in South Africa, but out of respect for the deceased and for the dignity of the nation, we will allow the family to honour his wishes?”
This is not without precedent. In Zimbabwe, former President Robert Mugabe had indicated that he did not want to be buried at the National Heroes Acre. Despite all the political tensions, President Emmerson Mnangagwa allowed the family to bury him at his rural home in Zvimba. He could have pursued a similar confrontation, but he chose restraint.
Someone has to be the adult in the room and recognise that this situation is absurd. It is embarrassing, it is draining, and it is damaging Zambia’s standing internationally. I have spoken to former African presidents who are scathing about what is happening. They are asking a simple question, why not let the family decide?
Burial matters are, by their very nature, family matters, not state battles. This rigid idea that all presidents must be buried in a designated place is unnecessary and out of touch. Look at South Africa. Nelson Mandela was buried in his village, Qunu. There was no such nonsense.
Meanwhile, ordinary Zambians are struggling. People are going to bed hungry. There is poverty, there is inflation, yet resources are being wasted on a pointless legal fight. It is foolish.
Give the man dignity. Let him be buried.
If the family wants to bury him in South Africa, let them. If they want to bury him in Zambia, let them. But if they do not want the president to preside over the funeral, why insist on forcing that presence?
The message from the South African foreign minister is a diplomatic but firm call for maturity. Resolve this outside the courts. The legal process could drag on for years. Does anyone seriously want a former president to remain in a mortuary for five years?
This is not on, it is ridiculous. This is an embarrassment to the continent, and more importantly, to Zambia and Zambians. Can sane people in Zambia please stand up! You can’t politik over a dead man’s remains. Let him rest!
A former president left in a mortuary for nearly a year while leaders fight for control is not honour, it is failure of mature leadership!
She thought it'd be a brilliant idea to come and talk to me with an authoritative tone - "Kodi ukukakamila chani kusogoloko munthu ndiwe ochepa thupi"... Oh she pissed me off ... "Mukutankhula ngati ndi vuto langa kuti mum
adya opanda ma brake bwanji?"... She just went quiet.
While taking my bus to work this morning, I took the front seat. The bus' conductor came to ask me if I could move to another seat in the back cos there was a fat lady coming and space wasn't enough in the back seats available. I respectfully refused. The lady didn't take it well

@XekiHlongwane@Dlabehlezi Other than salaries, our black brothers “LOOT” their own wealth by spending it on women and booze! That’s the main difference with the whites rust mostly play rugby.
At least this one chose a respectable way to earn a living after football. He is a good man

From the spotlight to service — proof that there’s dignity in every honest path. Respect for choosing growth over pride 👏🏽
@MasochaBri52417@Bossyator I doubt if an engineer was involved. If he was, then I doubt if a qualified and experienced fundi was engaged. Looks like some chaps labour fundi was incharge during the building stage. The finishing is superb though.

@shaun_dlanjwa@SACP1921 The brother is only looking after his interests. Where will he get a job with a more than R100000 salary? The SACP was a starting point , he has reached the destination. All this should have been avoided by giving Solly a ministerial post.
Breaking News: Higher Education Minister Buti Manamela resigns as SACP leader.He chose his salary and Parliamentary perks over @SACP1921 . Bruno Mtolo's of our lifetime. It was never about ideology, no principle at all. When consciousnesses escapes you, it doesnt say goodbye.
@shaun_dlanjwa@AdvDali_Mpofu@SACP1921 He is a principled man. Communism is dead even in Russia and China. What makes you think it can thrive in RSA where it’s black citizens have excess sense of entitlement and are mostly very lazy
