    Screw the Death Penalty

    Question: How can a nation self-declared as “Christian” sentence a woman to death on the anniversary of the execution of the Messiah?

    In Defence of Informal Traders

    I love salaula shopping. Not only is it one of my favourite things to do in Lusaka, but also I have taken people―including the reviewer from Lonely Planet travel guides―on tours of the Lumumba road area specifically to share what I call the “Salaula Experience”.
