Are these two in jail? Too smart wearing Adidas
THIS IS MOST WELCOME, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER TO RELEASE SOME OF THEM.
Executions stopped in Zambia a long time ago. All death sentences are automatically commuted. The only death sentence I am looking forward to is that of Lungu on treason and corruption charges. If there is no longer an executioner at Mukobeko, I am offering myself.
