  10. LT You forgot Simutowe on Sports Person(s) of the year.

    YES. Biggest disappointment of the century was the Presidential Elections results.

  16. The kneeling picture of George Mpombo picture was in 2007 not this year. The “Zambian Economist” blog had it as part of the 2007 Awards…

  18. Malone Zaza was a creation of Lesley Mbulo and his relatives after they announced the demise of Levy. There is no such a person as Malone Zaza as they claimed. They never paraded him nor gave anything to indicate it was him that announced. So that should have been the “Most covered up blunder of the year.”The announcement later came to pass as true that is why No President wished Levy quick recoverey during that time cause they knew. Anyway even in death Levy has our symphathy. MHSRIP.

  20. a FEW OF MINE:

    1. Most chased after babe.
    FORMER BABY C, NOW REAL BABY C AND VERY LIKELY PINKLY(I SUSPECT)

    2.WORST POLITICAL ANALYST.
    Maestro heheheheheh(this tribal cousin of mine in HH obsessed)

    3. BEST THING TO HAVE HAPPENNED TO NET USERS.
    LT

  21. Lusaka Times

    you forgot one person and I think you should update the list before the person is offended.

    Your forgot the award for BEST ENGLISH GRAMMAR ON LUSAKA TIMES

    PRAGMATIST.

  23. Now hold on there LT! To become a Chess GrandMaster is no mean achievement, ask any one who has played chess even at the lowest of levels. You study volumes of books for tactics and stragegies. To top it all Amon Simutowe who you chose to ignore is the first black African to be crowned GM. I saw that boy grow up in lubuto chintu(Ndola) and i believe he desrves some mention.
    A STANDING OVATION FOR AMON BLOGGERS PLZ!

    ps. and he did this without govt support he used his own money and friend’s.

  24. The following guys have been a blessing to me on LT: Pinkly,Man Kude,Zoe,Sara Jones,Matworld,chewe,real baby C, Blackman’s child,the spectater,Cutey,Ba Moze,3RqU,Sister,(the opposition,Fine,FMC,Maestro,Lady Chiza’s legs),Sony E Phiri,UK observer,Nkole Wampebwa,ba zambia,Miss pretty,the list is endless. guys i wish you a happy new year and may GOD Almighty richly bless you all in the coming year.

  28. Maestro sleeps on lusakatimes, you might as well name him kamalonda wapa lsktimes. Maestro this is a proud moment for you , you can add this to your CV as well and being google champion number 1. LSKtimes you should have added the blogger with the most deluded sense of grandeur and deluded knowledge to make maestro have a hat trick of awards.

  32. This is a great idea LT, but next year please allow us to take part in the nominations too. Otherwise, I for one appreciate your efforts on this site & I’ve never felt closer to home. Looking forward to more happy news in 2009.:)

  34. Zambians in the UK or Zambian born Brits, do not get yourselves into trouble tonight. Remember you need a licence for fireworks now. If you didn`t get one don`t blaming dare! Enjoy!

  35. Interesting year end awards there from LT.
    Keep it up so that next year, we can get more mature bloggers.
    All in all your content has been well balanced; you need to be commended for that.
    You have also made a few improvements in your delivery since you started.
    This shows you are progressive or at least have a desire to be so.
    Happy New Year!

  40. congtrats Maestro Hhehhehhehhe and Prof. Mitengo Wamingo LLB(UNZA)LLM MA Phd (Oxford)on you achievements for the year 2008,Happy New Year.

  41. Well done LT for proving accurate,timely and much needed news from our beloved mother-land. You have also provided a useful forum for discussions. I relied on you for the update on Presidetial Election results. You are the reason I have not renewed my subscrition with the POST Newspapers. I find all I need as one stop free shop at LT.

    May the good lord bless you abundantly in the new Year and beyond!=d>

    We will stick by you mate!

  43. Ba Fine tubeshibila kuli maturity eebo.
    Now pinkly you didnt answer my probe omn the other thread … is it Pinkly P or Baby C? You ‘sound’ so much like our beloved Baby C, and if you are not sis, you still our dear Pinkly.

  48. #23 Umugazebo, Chess is a sport in a class of it’s own, so chess players are usually honoured seperately from other sports. I agree with you that Simutowe has made tremendous achievements, so to me he deserves even more than just sportsman of the year.

  50. Unfortunately UMUGAZEBO and FAMILY things are not looking good even for the coming year.

    But hey we have to enjoy!

    Happy new year.

  52. Bravo Amon ‘Zambezi shark’ Simutowe.
    Ba Chale dont over celebrate, we need your contributions in 2009.
    Umwana Matworld computer yali kilasha, or xenophobia has started again ku S/Africa. Thhey must be blaming the foreigners for the Credit Crunch.

  56. I stand to be corrected on the Rumour monger of the Year, surely does anyone know when Ba LPM died. I have not being told the truth and still in suspense. Malone Zaza could have been right otherwise it wasn’t a rumour. Anyway the truth will come out one day just like the Gabon air disaster? To all the recipients, I say congrats and to Hon. Joseph Mulyata, he equally embarassed us at the L,stone Inter. airport. To be honest I miss Mwiinga’s contributions on this blog.

  57. That is why I am worried UMUGAZEBO and FAMILY. By the time the man wakes up, it will be time for elections.[-(

    Kwati nshimwene bwino ine!

  60. congrats maestro this will make dull japhet to blog more even when he has no construtive comments. anyhow happy 2009 ! :((

  62. Pinkly dear i suffer from C.R.D(compulsive revealing disorder). ha ha ha. but fortunately for you, i also suffer from C.B.V(chronic bribe vulnability).
    so bribe me with a hug dear .. ASAP!

  66. Looks like the clock has just ticked over midnight there in New Zealand/Australia so I wish Cutey all the best for 2009.
    To Umugazebo and family,Pinkly, Rashid, Chewe, Matworld (wherever you’ve vanished to), Baby C (the real & the fake one), Zoe, G Baby, Sony Eric, Maestro & all my other fellow bloggers, Cheers people!!!
    I hope to see you all in the year 2009 A.D.
    It’s time to start “makukaling” now<:-p

  74. Cutey,
    Happy New year to you too my dear. <:-p@};- Am not shocked that Maestro got an award from LT. But you my dear you deserve an ward as well for the most cutey babe on the blog. May god bless you.<:-p<:-p<:-p:x

  78. #18 and others : By the Way….’Malone Zaza’ is a real person. Went to school with one of my friends and he’s on her list of friends on Facebook.

  81. it has been a long journey and God bless you.i will be going back to zed next year as one thing i have realised while im in states is that despite people being poor in africa they are more happier than maybe someone of us who are here or living abroad. Happeness does not only meaning working and making money.

  82. #74,Thanks Sarah Jones, am so astounded about this but maybe we should have expected it.
    Ba Chewe HAPPY NEW YEAR THIS VERY MINUTE to you and your loved ones.

    Ba Rashid naimwe happy new year right now to you and all the loved ones..
    NINE CHALE best wishes to your German wife/family too.
    Sarah Jones you think LT recognised me for anything except being so annoyed all the time??? <:-p<:-p@};-@};-@};-@};-@};-

  84. #82 addit— or maybe L.T could have remembered me for the reknown REDWINE??

    Hope we participate in the votes end of this year..Happy new year all the delightful bloggers.. many more returns for 2009..<:-p<:-p<:-p<:-p@};-@};-@};-@};-@};-=d>

    1 HOUR INTO 2009!!!

  85. Not much activity for the new year in kitwe pantu abantu incinto shalipwa,so we are keeping the little we have for our grade 7 and 9 children.

  86. Malone Zaza did not lie he was speaking the truth to the world.Politicians lied to you from the time he died. Telling you he condition is stable when a man was in the ice box.

  88. Pinkly, im even planning of how to dump her.how on earth could she leave me alone,imagine kawilo for almost a month now. cutey hi,thanks

  90. Rejected Banda’s achievements for the year 2008;
    1.went to sleep during a church service.
    2.gave mealie meal,cooking oil,sugar and other consumables for free during campaigns.
    3.reduced fertilizer during campaigns from K350,000 to K50,0000 but latter shot to original price.
    4.advised some infestors to close their companies.
    5.destroyed job opportunities for zambians on the copperbelt.
    6.destroyed marriedges and families as a result of job losses.
    7.went on holiday with his entire clan for doing nothing from the time he was rejected as presido.

  92. LT Sata doesnt deserve tyo be where he is.It shows you are partisan to Sata and Chiluba.Whats humourous about Chiluba and how come you say the election results were dissappointing, just because Sata lost.You need to iknow democracy.I supported HH but have to accept the results.Sata has lost twice or so now, do you still cling to him??????????

  93. Pinkly, im out of here.i will miss u cause i think i need a short break.Cutey,Sarah Jones and Zoe, please keep it real

  95. Thank you LT for giving many of us a platform to be informed and to inform others.

    I look forward to the day when you will go into print and provide the much-needed competition to the private print media.

    Wishing you and all the blogger a productive 2009!!!

    The Washingtonian

  97. Guys have got to go.

    Rashid, Pinkly, Sharp Steve-Kitwe (mwali kwi apapakati) Cutey, Sarah Jones, Matworld, The Spectator, Sony Ericsson Phiri, Father Christmas, VW, Baby C. I love you all.

    This is what RB said on 21 October 2008: ***”Mr Banda has appealed to the people of Nyimba to elect him to ensure that he proceeds with the vision of late Levy Mwanawasa and the MMD. He stated that he will continue to improve agriculture, education and the road infrastructure in the country”.

    :)>-

  98. This is crap. Why haven’t i been awarded anything. Even just for questioning as i have done here. This is fake and rigged. I know the rigger, he must have been this blogger called, Fine. This guy called Fine really hates me and i hope one day i will have my day to laugh at him in the face.
    However i like the most embarassing photo of the year, it sure is the right photo as i can’t think of any. But what about the lady who stripped when PF lost the presidential election where does LT put that photo.

  99. Can I add that I shall be at the Presidential Inauguration on January 20, 2009. So I shall be updating the bloggers on the events as we approach the day.

    I’m sure Zambian’s can learn a lot from the process going on over here in the US.

    Tonight, all eyes are on the crystal ball in NY.

    Happy New Year again to all in Zed, from Livingstone to Nakonde, from Mongo to Chipata, from Chirundu to Nchelenge, and to all in my hometown Lusaka West.

    Do not drink and drive…

    The Washingtonian

  102. #56 i agree with you i have always been puzzled why none of the presidents wished LPM a quick recovery after the truth/rumour came out

  103. By the way LT what do you mean most disappointment of the year-presidential election results.This shows your lack of objectivity whether rigged or not election results always disppoint those in the losing camp i simply fail to see the meaning of this award and i hope that as of tomorrow you shall begin to show us some journalism maturity if the election results disppointed you they surely did not disappoint MMD cadres and its sympathisers and non-partisan indiviuals who did not want one micheal Sata to be president.

  122. LT – excellent work

    Now could we have some standards from the Webmaster for next year please. People who resort to profanity when their English fails them, or those who merely think it is ‘cool’ to do so should have their comments deleted. We should not allow standards to fall so low as to derail the good work that LT has done by setting up this forum.

    Equally, those who continually make unacceptable personal attacks on others should be curtailed. This is a debating/discussion forum, not a conduit for those who simply seek to hurl insults for the sake of it. Rant over!

  123. Most undesirable court outcome – Chiluba still out of prison
    Best political appointment – George Kunda
    Worst political appointment =- Mike Mulongoti
    Personal Professional in govt – Attorney General Mumba Malila

    Are you new to LT? I remember some time in september or october LT had told people to stop name calling and instulting each other but some people have never stopped. Actually we have done very well as bloggers and there are some bloggers who have set some good standards on this blog. Happy new year!

  125. #124,
    Sarah Jones have I annoyed you already?? self check here..lol..
    more happy returns for 2009 <:-p<:-p<:-p<:-p<:-p<:-p<:-p<:-p@};-

  126. It would have been fair for LT to have shown as the contenders and let the bloggers vote. LT you are bureaucratic and a dictatorship!

  127. Cutey.
    Sorry, I have been on and off Lusaka times today. You asked If me Rashid Jones were cousins. I don’t know how we both came up with the same surnames. At first I was just ‘Sarah’ then some bloggers started calling themselves ‘sarah’ so I was fed of telling people off so I decided to add Jones as my surname.
    Am a capricorn and capricorns do make very loyal friends.

    Am hoping for a better year on the blog and I hope LT won’t just be giving us news on politics only but on lifestyle as well.

  128. The Chinda-Law Association is pleased to say “CONGRATES” to Maestro Hhe Hhe Hhe. Njanza forward badaala.HH-4-2011.
