But i saw the president on TH-cam video giving an interview before leaving for Tanzania. I felt he looked unwell or very tired and I have since been praying for him. Long life President HH, we pray for his good health and God's protection in the Name of Jesus Christ Amen 🙏🏿!!!

That's a total lie. HH is passing through a lot. This country was extensively damaged by pf so he inherited everything what he is doing now is to recreate Zambia. Never expect him laughing anyhow no

Why have police slided into this cheap political abuse of human beings,is HH a deity that if people talk about questions his health or his performance it becomes a crime

I believe there's a distinction between questioning and insinuating that the president is sick and down. Such allegations have significant negative impacts on our Zambian market and the economy as a whole. Sir.
