        He has been charged with treason. Apparently he 'blocked' the presidential motorcade. In what way would you call that treason???

        Yet again, African leadership tussle brings to bare our insatiate quest for power. Are we ever going to get it right?

        The opposition leader is lying. He is the one who is on the wrong side of the law. He has imposed himself as president of Zambia.

        Hence, he failed to give way to the Republican President's motorcade defying the law. What did he expect, a piece of cake from the State?
