I’d like to applaud Lucky “Skanda” Gumbi for being such a very open-minded, truthful and honest man with his polygamous marriage. I may not be a a polygamous man but the way he treats his wives and children is of utmost respect and love!
Moreover, he is not all for himself, he lends a hand to the needy community without expecting limelight and returns which most business people do!
I salute him and may other people learn from him…!
