a Lesta kudzimva u mafia ndi u gangsta, lero ndi izi. The fact that he claims to have been outside the country when the murder happened shows one thing ‘it was a premeditated’ murder. He tied the wrong loose ends, all the evidence points at you evil stupid Lester Maganga. May your name carry the murder tag forever like your friend Misozi Chanthunya
