LOVE AND SACRIFICE
Part 20
When they reached Mkushi turn off, Choolwe's personal assistant received a call that his boss' car, Rolls Royce phantom, was on its way to Lusaka.
Choolwe advised him to tell the man with the car to bring it at Mkushi turn off. They waited there and after an hour, the vehicle was delivered. Choolwe looked at it, and it was indeed very beautiful. The man proceeded to Lusaka with the car, Choolwe and his people continued with their journey too.
When almost everyone was at home relaxing, they saw a convoy of cars coming from a distant place with hazards. They stood in greatest awe and shock thinking it could be some minister visiting that area.

"But the vehicles don't have flags on them. Ministerial or presidential vehicle have a flag on it. But none of those vehicles has a flag," said another.

By that time, Mr George was relaxing under the shelter with her daughter, Phaides. Astridah's mother was inside with the rest. When he saw the series of cars some meters away, he stood in greatest commotion and wondered which minister was visiting him. Phaides sprinted inside like a female rat which runs to tell her colleagues about the bag of ground nuts which has been brought by the owner of the house.
"Please come and see!" Shouted Phaides while panting like a racing horse.
Everyone logged out of the house like rats which have come to see the bag of ground nuts and see what Phaides had called them for.
The vehicles turned right, the direction of Mr Mweemba's house. They stopped while windows closed.
Everyone stood there greatly surprised! Godfrey, Henry, Moonga,
