Sometimes the truth will make you suffer, I'd rather be hated for preaching God's truth than to be loved for spreading devil's lies. What this priest said was what he saw on the ground and the government didn't like it as it was a direct reflection on their policies. Well done Father, keep speaking the truth in spite of the consequences that may follow..from the fellow priest

He was just deported? There was a time when the catholic church would have you tortured and burnt to death if you said things like the earth goes around the sun lightning is a natural phenomena.

I thought Zambians were educated people but this decision was wrong, such doings make the white people or the Europeans think that all black people are all stupid because our leaders are making stupid decisions…. Nxaa!!!
