Pic. 19. Who ever advised those women to wear sacks got it all wrong. I doubt if their ancestors wore sacks because these were only brought by our colonisers. Great pics LT!

Pic #1 that’s what happens when positive development is only concentrated in Lusaka. One wonders where these so called Permanent secretaries/Counselors, or whoever and whatever they are called are? Oops i forgot, they are in lusaka
chamba September 28, 2012 At 1:11 pm

Nice :) big up lusaka time
Nate September 28, 2012 At 1:17 pm

Pics 24 and 25 remind me of high school days the classrooms/ dormitories. The so called Mongu harbor has not changed much.

This fishing camp in Western province looks unhygienic. I don’t think they have proper toilets. No wonder Cholera is ever present.

I appreciate the Lake Kariba pictures. It’s nice to see an introspective image of what is going on down there.

Pics 1,17,26 & 27 just illustrate why zambia remains underdeveloped.The common thread in those pics is an image of folks unwilling to put exacting demands on themselves.We trash everywhere,we observe no rules and generally set the bar very low for ourselves.Remember success will never bow to you -its you to bow to it by demanding very highly of yourself.
Lundazi Dweller September 28, 2012 At 3:40 pm

Pics 23 – 25 nice to donate to his old school. Though as a Director IT donations of computer infrastructure or software programs would have really made a difference. Anyway ni donation nayeve.

Pics 23 – 25 nice to appreciate your old school. But as a Director u could have done bettter than that. A bus for the school team could ve made a difference.
