| Mary Magambo |
Zesco United striker Lottie Phiri last night took to Facebook to call out ZNBC newscaster Mary Magambo. The 25 year old Petauke native claims Mary was on a campaign that included sending nude pics of herself to woo the Zega scoring ace.
"Let me expose this mary magambo from znbc,she came in my life a year ago and ask me to marry her,she has two kids, boyfriends,ministers,musicians businessmen,footballs,bus drivers,etc and when I said no to her,she start dating a football from gbfc thinking she will hurt me,to all men out they she is a bitch like those in bars at night,mary I can not marry a girl like u,before I meet you sent nicked pictures"
Three hours later, he had the following to say
There has been much speculation about Mary's involvement with popular dancehall sensation B'Flow in recent weeks, as the two have been more than friendly with each other on Twitter of late.
"I did this for o zambian footballers,It hurts me to hear today footballer done this tomorrow that,as if they are the only ones doing wrong things,I planned this and I thank myself for the endless efforts that I have achieve it,only JESUS is perfect,and all have sinned against God from today you have seen that anyone can do it,she is not a footballer and she is doing it and a lot more others,they is no perfecto"

Song Review: Mag44 - Shipikisha Club
Lota House super producer Mag44's latest offering "Shipikisha Club" is on review today.
As we've come to expect from a producer of his calibre with his wealth of experience, the song is a well-balanced, melodic and very pleasing piece of music. The song has a bit of an RnB feel with a certain African bounce about it. It is on the short side, being only 3 minutes and 28 seconds long.
Credit must be given to Mag44 for his brand of gospel music which is not overly preachy so as to scare away the non-religiously inclined. Him and Pompi have found a niche in doing songs that are more about real life situations and how a Christian ought to carry themselves. There is a real familiarity with his delivery; the dialogue with his father plays out extremely well in the mind's eye. The hook does have a certain corniness about it, which could do it for others but certainly did not impress me.
Magnus has indeed come a long way as a rapper. I've never really been impressed with his English delivery (from as far back as his feature on Slapdee's song "One" from the So-Che album). However, he has shown real growth and maturity as an emcee, and he blends his vernacular almost seamlessly with the Queens without sounding awkward as others might.
Overall, the song is beautifully crafted piece of music. It should be in our playlists for a while to come. I have doubts as to whether it will be a chart-topper as it lacks a certain something, that wow-factor that makes you want to put it on repeat all day.
VERDICT:
Four stars for Magnus Mando! The je ne sais quoi alluded to earlier is the reason for my giving this one only four stars. His fans should take heart however, based on his massive talent I'm sure we'll hear five-star material from him sooner rather than later.
The boys from Lota House do not disappoint when it comes to live shows and his album launch on the 28th at Barclays Sports Complex in Lusaka is definitely one to scribble in your diary!
