Convicted Fraudster Joseph Kalimbwe, you have finally blocked the “little small girl” everywhere! Apparently, you expect freedom of expression for yourself until someone starts inconveniencing your latest cashvism opportunity.
I’m rather enjoying the tactically curated brand image you’re constructing as you pivot into and assimilate within Zimbabwe’s pro-government politics. Perhaps you’re also hoping to secure the backing you need to gain the slightest bit of political relevance in Zambia after your self-aggrandisement and miscalculated grandiosity, which you apparently owe to Zimbabwe, convinced you that you were ready to run for MP in Zambia.
Frankly, you might have stood a better chance of becoming an opposition MP in Zimbabwe. Unfortunately, level-headed Zambians brought you back to reality. Your bid failed so dismally that you didn’t even make it onto the ballot. 😂
The criticism of your political conduct during Zambia’s elections, particularly the narratives you helped craft and amplify, deserves scrutiny for the divisions and damage they allegedly contributed to. The political fallout surrounding the late President Edgar Lungu remains a painful chapter in Zambia’s history, so much so that the political party unit you were a part of had to get rid of you and you became irrelevant in Zambian politics until Zimbabwean opposition friends like Ostallos gave you a lifeline.
The fate of former President Lungu, his reputation, and subsequent decline in health, fugitive status, and circumstances surrounding his burial is a sad tale.
Meanwhile, small pirañas like you feasted on the carcass and swam downstream to new waters 🇿🇼
You further pretend to regret the fate of President Lungu and use the same situation to tout forgiveness & ubuntu not because that’s what you stand for, but to further your own political ambitions.
Now, there are my fellow cadres in Zimbabwe who have added you into their political PR arsenal, hoping to import the same brand of political warfare into our already polarised landscape. Without being presumptuous, that is a sign that they’re preparing for war against their own fellow cadres.
Your brand of political propaganda that you learnt during war against President Lungu is so destructive and damning that it leaves presidents unburied! That might be the reason why they want you, to be a part of a team that will help create circumstances that lead to future fugitive corpses stuck in foreign mortuaries.
Blocking people like me merely saves you the trouble of looking back. But it doesn’t stop the ink in history books from drying.
Sisonke!!!

Some African countries have seen wildlife populations decline sharply because of hunting, poaching and bushmeat consumption, putting some species at serious risk.
Hating Southern Africans while desperately wanting to live in their countries is a very specific level of cognitive dissonance. 😭
What was your thought process behind leaving this comment under someone’s TikTok post of their outfit? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Resist the urge to continue moving around in your marathon gear, please go and bathe.

The distance from Chilanga to Kapiri Mposhi is roughly the same ballpark as the entire length of Lake Kariba.
280km of water. 😭
Give Lake Kariba its RESPECT. That is not a lake, that is a whole geographical situation. 🌊🇿🇲
The road is literally under construction and closed to motorists, but you still want to drive through it, forcing contractors to redo work they’ve already done. 😭 What is wrong with 🥷’s
