  4. Ba Lusaka voice can u Plse clear the air,was the bag stolen frm the car at mayela night club in kalingalinga or bauleni. Someone can lose a case just on these.

  5. Im very dissappointed with honourable Mwanakatwe.Out of all social places she saw a night club befitting for he to socialise?she is very negligent and she does care about her life.
    Why going go at a night club?and why interecting at night?
    no !this wad wrong.

  6. With vast freedoms in Zambia,where else do u find voters?it’s in night clubs,tarvens,shabeens nd bars.buy them a beer,they’ll never forget u.she’s done her stratagies well coz thats where the grass root is.do ur campaigns in clean nd high places,u r doomed,u cry of rigging at the end.

    • Its not eveyone in a night club sir voted for her,others voted for her opponents so that confuses the all poor plan to interract in a night club with hungry and frustrated people.

  7. All pf members are drunkard shame on you you should change which development can someone get from night club someone to tell me?

  8. Sometimes inorder for you to manage personal stress and organizational stress ….you go on doing something different for a change. ..but on unfateful day. ..things tend to be that way…..It’s why it’s said ITS not a truism to take some people to be continuously strong and others continuoesly weak. ..hence we’re all intiled to weak moments. ..and we all need the services that every institution can give. ..there fore Mrs mwanakatwe didnt deserved that treatment. ..when she went out to managing stress. ..in one of those effective ways of shaking it off…before she could reach a burn out….but being in the high class you suffer those consequences. ……

  12. I like her humble way of interacting with people, a night club is where you really understand everything on the ground. Only next time we wish she finds a safe place for parking

  13. Of all places to visit in Lusaka central, like hospitals, clinics, schools,markets, orphanages, prisons, why visit a nightclub??? Calm down on the alcohol madam.
