  1. iv often wandered why no motor vehicles, at least to my knowledge, ever catch fire due to bush fires raging closely on the side of the road as in pic 13 above?

  2. Looks like Jazzman Slasher tabakwata ifyakuchita lately. Lst time he was busy with Ichikwakwa now ali pa musebo.
    Pic 17, all those kids look over 14 except the one partly hidden behind Roving Banda’s huge hand and tummy!!

  3. # 2 That is the same question I was asking when I saw that. Its sad. Too many rally photos.

  4. Like the Sunday Market thing! Wish i could get my hands on some of that artifact. I believe that if properly managed it can bring alot of money. Ask the chinease.

  5. Pompi is right.
    Those chaps are well over 17.
    Mbesuma claimed to be born in ’85 but had a tennage child.

  6. ok can i start a controversial topic… y are zambians generally not attractive i mean interms of looks as compared to other nations, is it poverty?

  7. #12 Observer, you are allowed to be controversial but you may have an of identity issue if you think your own people are unattractive.

    How do you view yourself? Are you unattractive because you are Zambian or you are ashamed to be Zambian and therefore feel unattractive?

    Please, see a psychologist before you start altering yourself to look like people from other nations. Look what happened to Michael Jackson.

  8. Liteta hospital…thats where my auntie died from, she was such a lovely person MHSRIP..*sigh* *sigh*

  9. #12 do you know what first put your photo on the blog then we can talk. Uli na Problem and its a big one.

  10. #12, leave the women out of this, if you men want to discuss how ugly your johnies look, then go on!!!

  11. Hope the parents of the chap in pic 19 with a castle lager in his hand are able to identify him…he needs fraternal admonition….

  12. #12 Observer get those cataracts you have in your eyes removed then we’ll talk. Be careful with these Xhosas and Zulus they will get you killed for your life insurance.
    Anyway I love the Sunday Market will definitely pay a visit next time.

  13. !2. I dont think ur being controversail except that i doubt that u can substantiate your statement. When you say ‘Zambians generally not attractive’ that is a very subjective comment. Whereas we can all agree that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, can also agree that there is natural beauty. Are you saying compared to other nationals, Zambian lack this natural beauty (attractiveness) and that it is more prevalent in other national? I have had a chance to visit many African any I usually end up telling myself, ‘atleast my country men are attractive’!. But then iv also know that Im not able to make an objective opinion. At the end of the day, beauty (or in this case attractiveness) is over rated. It will not get you anywhere (except maybe in someone’s bed)

  14. Pic #1-5, much as that rally seem exciting, it is very dangerous for the spectators. The organizers should consider physically putting up parameters for the safety of the driver and the spectators. Thats an accident waiting to happen. The rally’s name should be changed to International Drag Racing because thats what it looks like to me! The Sunday market looks like a gold mine. I love most of the stuff they are selling. Pic #18, I thought Leprosy was a Bible disease. #12 Observer, funny, I have been thinking the same too! .

  15. guys chill… i wasnt talkin anyone in particular its jus an observation that i have made (excuse the pun). Personally i kno am quite attractive m not at all ashamed of my looks. i have the courage to hit on any girl…. bt back to the issue, so guys jus comment objectively ur thots without being insulting.

  16. a little background…. i was out having dinner with three young ladies (workmates) here in jozy. so we were talkin abt wich country has the most attractive people. wat came out of the discussioin was that angola and mozambique have the most attractive ladies. bt in the whole lengthy discussion Zambia didnt feature. wen i was in zed recently i hardly saw a girl who made me turn my head as they do here… even at manda hill!!! its not to say that zambians are ugly jus maybe not striking!! thats y i asked earlier that is it bcoz of poverty?

  17. I really feel sorry for the man in pic #18.the best thing I can do for him is to commit him in God’s hands.Dear God we know that you are still in the business of healing your pipo,please Lord heal this man on pic#18 just as you healed those ten lapers in the Bible.I pray all this in your name Amen.

    Amalengeni ndeyafwaisha coz kuno otoni twalishishita,here they don’t know ati munani.

    LT thanks for the pictures.

  18. The people I meet here tell me that you will find some of the most beautiful girls among Zambians. I bet they’re correct in their own assessment. Just look at Miss Daisy.

  19. #12 #26 I thought you were a girl suffering from some serious emotional problems but to make the mattress wet you ar a Guy go and see a Doctor as soon as possible

  20. Pipo.

    Please don’t crucify Observer Iam sure he/she was just expressing her opinion.Observer you need to visit all parts the parts especially Copperbelt.Ine naconga south Africans Boyi.But this does not mean that Zambias ni oyo.I love Zanbian ladies so much.

  21. Ala imwe one would think those zambian crafts are cheaper at home. Yaba, i got a shock, they are damn expensive. I would rather get into Makro shops and buy me some white mans decor. They are by far cheaper

  22. observer: the beauty lies in the eyes of the beoholder. u surely suffer from inferiority complex. nex to seek help as soon as u can….

  23. Obsever.

    Pa Zed men are the ones who have good looks just take a look at our President .Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!

  24. Observer I’ld rather marry an ugly man who will give me financial security than some cute loser.Beauty is in the eyes of the beholde, some cute chick might not be able to satisfy you when you marry her.She will know how to put on make up but can she take care of you- cook clean look after your kids etc.Ofcourse an ugly man with brains may hire cooks,maids etc but you flashy cute guys who party all night may not be able to

  25. Ghost Dog #29, i wont even comment on your assertion as it can only have been meant as a joke – no other plausible reason. As for Observer and Bra P, you are perfectly entitled to your views. But they are just that, your views. “… y are zambians generally not attractive i mean interms of looks as compared to other nations, is it poverty?” This question cannot be answered properly because you pose it as if it is universally accepted (fact) that Zambians are not attractive and now you want people to comment on reasons. P.s Hitting on any girl you like does not mean you are attractive, it may only mean that you are confident, and there is a thin line between confidence no bushilu.

  26. #12 Observer somebody from a different nation who visited zambia asked me the same thing. i think dust and dirtiness for most zambian guys. Uku kana samba. The truth hurts guys….lets admit it kwena

  27. Observer. The other contributing factor to your lopsided observation is that we live in different cultures. What you may call fashion dressing here where I am can best be described as nakedness back home. Young ladies and middle aged women here are comfortable wearing tight jeans and short skirts with a marching blouse barely covering the umbilicus. Our women wear vitenge. No expose, lest you risk being stripped naked right in the middle of town.

  28. That Young Man is not under 14, if he was born in 1991, can you see, why youth development is a problem ( it ether that or maths is a problem in Zambia)

  29. Ghost dog your language! But you are right in some points.though I can see you have lived with Bazungus for too long.You can’t compare the prominent African behind with the flat behinds of whites.

  30. Ka’doyo.

    Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!! Walamfuna imbafu ati ukukana samba.Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!! Guys one man’s meat is another man’s poison.Zambian ladies are cool naimwe,oh! sorry are hot.

  31. #12 is that the best contribution you can come up with? If you have nothing useful to say please just let the LT topic pass, there might just be something else in tomorrow’s topics, that you may have useful words to say. Have a good day and leave this topic for the real Zambians who have sense. We understand some LT topics are above your understanding. Zambians on this blog have better issues to discuss than your useless observation. Who cares what you think?

  32. Bwalya….uumhh. Very worrying indeed. If you are a Woman, there is a word in the dictionary. If you are a man, i feel for you bro.

  33. Ghostrider..

    You don’t have to leave it for ladies to judge we can do it on our own.All men are handsome pa Zed just look at our president.

    Not forgeting Matworld and Ghost Dog the Great.

  34. I have come to learn that cute guys are a problem. and most of them are players with no brains, no money, like too much sex and ask for your money!!!!

  35. Most Zambian girls are clean , but most zambian guys pa zad maka maka nga yisa pita apa, imwe ichena chamu kwapa one would serously faint

  36. Hey! Hey Hey! Guys.

    Hold your fire we are not fighting here lets have fun yashani iyo mwayamba.Cant you see today no sad news pa LT like corruption,defilements ifililo,witches e.t.c.Come on lets merry.

  37. Ghost dog I have no idea what you mean by Zambezi and kafue rivers and please don’t explain I fear for the answer.
    #54 steven ha ha ha I’ve had a long day I’m tired and shouldn’t really be on LT! Just needed to chill before I take on more problems

  38. Dave Sihoka, its nice to have seen his picture after such a long time. You still look fine, but tu ma years have gone ka! Keep up navigating eehh.

  39. Haaaa!! Its 5 koloko,Naya Guys It was great blogging with you,peace be with you all,not ukulwa just enjoy blogging remember KK once said one Zambia one nation regardless where we are we are still Zambians.

    Cheer.

    Matworld Terrence.

  40. Ghostrider, just know that too much sex is not good! elo iwe ghostrider, i can tell that you are bad news when it comes to that

  41. MMM ama emotions apa yavuta. I like the opinion that theres a thin line between confidence nobushilu lol

  42. picture 19 is a problem child!! matworld we muntu we.. how are you? you have been hiding.. how are the studies going mune?.. i left you a message on one of yesterday’s stories..

    daisy baybay.. i am waiting to see the stunning pictures

  43. We have beautiful girls in Zambia come on, it depends on a lot of things how people look like. Some girls are nice and others are not. That is just the way things are. As a Zambian man, I have never had a problem attracting woman of all nationalities and different ages. I remember meeting a mature Zambian woman who knows my dad, she said something like “wow you are so handsome just like your father!” The most messed up thing I have experienced however, is a fellow man trying to chat me up because I was ” good looking” hahahahaha, I can tell you life is great for me, if I could rent out my body, you would know what I am trying to say. So if any of you are ugly that is your problem, blame your parents. I can tell you so many stories about my life so far but it will be long post.

  44. Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder, oh sorry in the eye of the beholder, first of all WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY BEAUTIFUL and secondly IS THERE SOMETHING LIKE OBJECTIVE BEAUTY? Otherwise tupopo tulipo pa zed, I am not sure about the men, too many puza faces!

  45. Zambia One . That space you see there is me shaking my head in disbelief. So how much would you charge to rent out your body? You sound like you like your bread buttered on both sides.

  46. Walai ntwenu something.

    Boyi iam cool,just trying to study in advance Boyi this coming semester is very short,we are opening pa 20 this month,and i have to study 8 chapters in Accouts,17chapters in Ecomomics and and statistic.yaba Naya boyi just wanted to respond to you.Missing you so much my friend hope your bay bay is cook,my regards to her.

  47. OBSERVER what an apologetic life you must live! You sound like the kid who was always at pains to hide their parents, where they live etc. Your lack of self confidence has now grown to include the whole nation, how sad!! Whether we are mentioned or not, Zambians are beautiful and I can give several examples. And who, among your workmates did you expect to add us to the list if you yourself were being all apologetic and i guess praying they don’t remember your nationality!? Inferiority complex ensures that everything looks amazing except your own. And if you must know, a good number of those women you see with top South African men are Zambian…I speak as an insider. Hundreds if not thousands of the SA chicks you obsess about have Zambian mothers and gogos…sorry to burst your bubble…

  48. # 12,My girlfriend/wife to be won´t agree with you just as don´t.Show ya pic then maybe i could overstand your point.

  49. # 28 Ba Osberver, Manda Hill is for our children please dont molest them.From yr observation of Angola and Mozy I take it you are a point five (half mwenye, half muntu) and that is why you find portugese beauty strinking. In order for you to appreciate Zambian beauty you have to be born and bred in Zambia coz our beauty is more than just skin deep. We have culture and morals which we display at all times. If you want to see attractive Zambian women, visit the churches, places of work and homes.Too bad for you right now all we attractive Zambian women are spoken for so bro move on.. as for you being attractive and good looking, thats your view.. beauty is in the eye…….

  50. #12 Observer in South Africa is the waste chipuba I have ever known on LT. Each time he spits some comments on LT, it has to be the most nauseating and pissing off vomit! What wrong with to say Zambians are ugly. Walitumpa sana. Those kids are look the way they are because of poor leaderships devoid of critical ability to analyse cause and effects of a problem.

  51. Pic 16, I ve identified one chakolwa there. The tall light chakolwa in the background with some black top, pretending to look somewhere else is Xavier Manchishi, a reporter withTimes Of Zambia. Teti alembe ifyamano. Too much booze.

  52. Many foreigners from Africa and beyond that I have met say that Zambian women are very attractive. I know a woman who used to send Scandinavian development workers to Zambia. She said after their stint in Zed, all of them came back home with a Zambian wife!

  53. #32 Ghost dog, look whose talking. That picture of yours looks like you have caked up drool from the previous nite and has never had a bath or cleaned your mouth in years. Man you are ugh. Bet that was the best pic of you out of thousands.

  54. Stup!d chap! Pa zed pali gelo not ati shani.You probably never passed thru college/univ in zambia.Even those tu ma youngsters in high skool look really good like nobodys business though they’re not for consumption.Look at Miss Daisy,even Baby C(although she’s very dull!!!)Pa zed even our catholic nuns all look attractive.I really don’t want to comment on South african women but just look at Hoopy Goldberg and compare her to Dora!Elyo gelo wapa zed paliba drum stick baba,have u seen Mampi’s drum sticks? huh!

  55. Observer.It is called a black man’s slave mentality.Ask yourselves why most successful black men marry white women or mixed race or those who have very fair skin?Because their white masters brainwashed their minds to think that black is ugly.It’s amazing how the niggers would do any thing for a light skinned woman…even worship her! In the UK it is the opposite,the white bloke finds the darkest woman intriguing!They fancy the likes of Naomi Cambell,Iman and Whoopi Gordberg because they find them authentic like dark chocolate.

  56. #95, That is the only reason i give so much respect to Obama. He married a real African gal. Trust me if he had married a white lady, he wouldn’t have been president now. IMO. Thats a real man right there. Doesn’t need to be validated by a white lady to score more success.

  57. Observer I Don’t think you have encountered a lot of zambians to make such an assumption. If you bump into a few dustheads in no way does that account for the whole nation.try spending 6 months in zed and I guarantee you will be amazed at how many beauties you will run into. Maybe your standards of judging beauty depend on one’s wealth status but to be frank with you zed people are not ugly .

  58. Observer now see what you have brought out of you nonsense,our women are the best,they gat looks and soo beautiful.Those south africans are damn fat and have no swag,I gaurantee you that i will marry a zambian no matter what it takes,Zed ladies are dope,,and most of them have a good acsent,hard working and so loving.#93 and 88 forgive me,you are my future wivesok babies,I love both of you.edited

  59. #101.sorry I aint that main stream of blogging,I nolonger spit no curse words,if thats your style ma man then am sorry.I aint mad at you.

  60. Hate and hurting will take us no way,then lets move on,its a new dawn on me,no more beefing with people,am kind of focused now,no more hocus pocus,I only hustle for ma grind,cause I gat bills to pay and holes to fill,ma whips and ma house need me too.Am out of here.

  61. #103But dont you ever think I will forget you,I know who you are,catch you when you sign on ya usual ID.

  62. Ghost rider, slumdog,observer.etc what is this nonsense you are exhibiting on the blog. ni mwebo ba kaponya? insele all over the place kwati muli mashilu. have you no shame. Bonse apo muli ba kulu na bana naba kanshi, yet you are misbehaving. mukakula lisa? utuleza mwa pwisha mu ma shop yet but still more you are still like kids. pakukula ta ba lisha po ingoma

  63. Zambians nowonder most of us are not proud of our country, our acsents, our fellow country people let alone ourselves. Why want to belong to a country which is not even interested in your country.
    remember Zambia is the only country u originated from. Start by being proud of yourselves otherwise you gonna end-up belonging nowhere.
    Observer get more education and move around the u gona get the insight of what the world offers. Have confidence bro that “infiliority” complex will make your life more miserable were ever u will be as your mind will be telling u that u are the most ugly person in the group.

  64. Brother man # 110 , you cant blame them for laughing at our country. Zambia is just 1 big joke. nothing is taken seriously and no one is taken seriously. edited

  65. THE BEST “WEEKEND IN PICTURES”, (ever). No much politics but much of civil life. I really love that Sunday market and car racing. I didn’t like the face of RB, though.

  66. life pa zed ni pa eeeze. just drinking a ka beer in public, or hung out in the dust and see cars racing, by the way without any barriers. no pressure even if a car loses control, ku fwa fe chabe. imi zabu drinking in a bar with an under age kid on the side. A UN ambassador examining a leprosy man without gloves, ni Ziii. life goes on. Zambia in the sun

  78. The Republic of Zambia (pronounced /?zæmbi?/) is a landlocked country in Southern Africa. The neighbouring countries are the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the north, Tanzania to the north-east, Malawi to the east, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Namibia to the south, and Angola to the west. The capital city is Lusaka, located in the southeast of the country. The population is concentrated mainly around the capital Lusaka in the south and the Copperbelt to the northwest.

  79. Zambia has been inhabited for thousands of years by hunter-gatherers and migrating tribes. After sporadic visits by European explorers starting in the 18th century, Zambia was gradually claimed and occupied by the British as protectorate of Northern Rhodesia towards the end of the nineteenth century. On 24 October 1964, the protectorate gained independence with the new name of Zambia, derived from the Zambezi river which flows through the country. After independence the country moved towards a system of one party rule with Kenneth Kaunda as president. Kaunda dominated Zambian politics until multiparty elections were held in 1991.

  80. Zambia’s economy has been traditionally dominated by the copper mining industry; however, the government has recently been pursuing an economic diversification programme. During the 1970s, the country began sliding into a poverty from which it has not recovered. Zambia’s total foreign debt before HIPC completion exceeded $6 billion in 2000. The average per capita income is US $1150 (World Bank, 2008). About 60 % of the population are reportedly living on less than one dollar 25 cent per day. [5]

  81. # 135 you have big plans, are you also planning on starting your own political party? by the way dont bring all your investment yet, Zambia is not as good as think. Look at your Prof Chirwa, reduced to nothing thanx to Zed. if i were you i wuold be cautious. if possible have 1 leg in the UK and the other in Zed. you see those of us inRSA are lucky coz we are 2 hours away from home so we can tamanga between 2 countries. we have the best of both worlds

  82. The area of modern Zambia was inhabited by Khoisan hunter-gatherers until around AD 300, when technologically-advanced migrating tribes began to displace or absorb them.[6] In the 12th century, major waves of Bantu-speaking immigrants arrived during the Bantu expansion. Among them, the Tonga people (also called Batonga) were the first to settle in Zambia and are believed to have come from the east near the “big sea”. The Nkoya people also arrived early in the expansion, coming from the Luba-Lunda kingdoms located in the southern parts of the modern Democratic Republic of the Congo and northern Angola, followed by a much larger influx, especially between the late 12th and early 13th centuries. In the early 18th century, the Nsokolo people settled in the Mbala district of Northern…

  83. The earliest account of a European visiting the area was Francisco de Lacerda in the late 18th century, followed by other explorers in the 19th century. The most prominent of these was David Livingstone, who had a vision of ending the slave trade through the “3 C’s” (Christianity, Commerce and Civilisation). He was the first European to see the magnificent waterfalls on the Zambezi River in 1855, naming them Victoria Falls after Queen Victoria. Locally the falls are known “Mosi-oa-Tunya” or “(the) thundering smoke” (in the Lozi or Kololo dialect). The town of Livingstone, near the falls, is named after him. Highly publicised accounts of his journeys motivated a wave of explorers, missionaries and traders after his death in 1873.

  84. In 1888, the British South Africa Company, (BSA Company) led by Cecil Rhodes, obtained mineral rights from the Litunga, the king of the Lozi for the area which later became North-Western Rhodesia.[7] To the east, King Mpezeni of the Ngoni resisted but was defeated in battle[8] and that part of the country came to be known as North-Eastern Rhodesia. The two were administered as separate units until 1911 when they were merged to form Northern Rhodesia. In 1923, the Company ceded control of Northern Rhodesia to the British Government after the government decided not to renew the Company’s charter.

  85. That same year, Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), which was also administered by the BSA Company, became self-governing. In 1924, after negotiations, administration of Northern Rhodesia transferred to the British Colonial Office. In 1953, the creation of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland grouped together Northern Rhodesia, Southern Rhodesia and Nyasaland (now Malawi) as a single semi-autonomous region. This was undertaken despite opposition from a sizeable minority of Africans, who demonstrated against it in 1960-61.[9] Northern Rhodesia was the centre of much of the turmoil and crisis characterizing the federation in its last years. Initially, Harry Nkumbula’s African National Congress (ANC) led the campaign that Kenneth Kaunda’s United National Independence Party (UNIP)…

    Money is in Africa. Atleast lets gain the education and skills we need, then pa ZED its a walkover money spinner land. Am going back soon

  87. A two-stage election held in October and December 1962 resulted in an African majority in the legislative council and an uneasy coalition between the two African nationalist parties. The council passed resolutions calling for Northern Rhodesia’s secession from the federation and demanding full internal self-government under a new constitution and a new National Assembly based on a broader, more democratic franchise. The federation was dissolved on 31 December 1963, and in January 1964, Kaunda won the first and only election for Prime Minister of Northern Rhodesia. The Colonial Governor, Sir Evelyn Hone, was very close to Kaunda and urged him to stand for the post. Soon afterwards there was an uprising in the north of the country known as the Lumpa Uprising led by Alice Lenshina –…

  88. At independence, despite its considerable mineral wealth, Zambia faced major challenges. Domestically, there were few trained and educated Zambians capable of running the government, and the economy was largely dependent on foreign expertise. There were 70,000 Europeans in Zambia in 1964.[10] Three neighbouring countries – Angola, Mozambique and Southern Rhodesia – remained under colonial rule. Southern Rhodesia’s white-ruled government unilaterally declared independence in November 1965. In addition, Zambia shared a border with South West Africa (Namibia) which was administered by South Africa. Zambian sympathies lay with forces opposing colonial or white-dominated rule, particularly in Southern Rhodesia (subsequently called Rhodesia). During the next decade, it actively supported…

  89. Ba VIVA RB once again i ask , what is this crap? what is your point to all this? where were you when we were doing history in school

  90. Conflict with Rhodesia resulted in the closure of the border with that country in 1973 and severe problems with international transport and power supply. However, the Kariba hydroelectric station on the Zambezi River provided sufficient capacity to satisfy the country’s requirements for electricity (despite the fact that the control centre was on the Rhodesian side of the border). A railway to the Tanzanian port of Dar es Salaam, built with Chinese assistance, reduced Zambian dependence on railway lines south to South Africa and west through an increasingly troubled Angola. Until the completion of the railway, however, Zambia’s major artery for imports and the critical export of copper was along the TanZam Road, running from Zambia to the port cities in Tanzania. A pipeline for oil was…

  91. By the late 1970s, Mozambique and Angola had attained independence from Portugal. Zimbabwe achieved independence in accordance with the 1979 Lancaster House Agreement, however Zambia’s problems were not solved. Civil war in the former Portuguese colonies created an influx of refugees and caused continuing transportation problems. The Benguela railway, which extended west through Angola, was essentially closed to traffic from Zambia by the late 1970s. Zambia’s strong support for the ANC, which had its external headquarters in Lusaka, created security problems as South Africa raided ANC targets in Zambia.

  92. Lovely pics, especially the ones from Sunday Market. Reminds me of Shepherd’s Bush in London.
    I can see the pictures thread has been everything else but boring today, thanks to Observer and his “controversial” observation.

  93. In the mid-1970s, the price of copper, Zambia’s principal export, suffered a severe decline worldwide. In Zambia’s situation, the cost of transporting the copper great distances to market was an additional strain. Zambia turned to foreign and international lenders for relief, but, as copper prices remained depressed, it became increasingly difficult to service its growing debt. By the mid-1990s, despite limited debt relief, Zambia’s per capita foreign debt remained among the highest in the world

  102. The company, ZCCM, was formed by a gradual process of nationalization and corporate concatenation which began in January 1970; the process is more completely described in the article Economy of Zambia:

    A major switch in the structure of Zambia’s economy came with the Mulungushi Reforms of April 1968: the government declared its intention to acquire equity holdings (usually 51% or more) in a number of key foreign-owned firms, to be controlled by a parastatal conglomerate named the Industrial Development Corporation (INDECO).Industrial Development Corporation (INDECO). By January 1970, Zambia had acquired majority holding in the Zambian operations of the two major foreign mining corporations, the Anglo American Corporation and the Rhodesia Selection Trust (RST); the two became the…

  104. Feels like vomitting to see the double standards people play when they say things like #12. Wish they can construct a speed way for these drivers to kill themselves on instead of just dusting innocent people who will end up ukubusha utwalala when they start coughing.

  105. We hereby invite all those interested to join our progressive party. Western Style Democracy has failed, it is time for Zambia to embrace communism, it is the only way forward otherwise we are doomed with the capitalists who have taken over our country in the name of democracy. Reclaim your country before it is too late, join the Zambia Communist Party now. ZCP is the future, we will be holding a press conference at freedom statue, it is time to free Zambia from capitalist criminals. Zambia needs a political revolution and ZCP will liberate Zambia from the the fake democrats.

  114. Thanks Observer, i enjoyed the contraversy you brought, until foolish Viva RB came with his history which even the Grade 7’s know.

  115. obviously like your web site but you need to take a look at the spelling on several of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I in finding it very troublesome to inform the truth on the other hand I’ll surely come back again.

  116. Definitely believe that which you said. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the net the simplest thing to have in mind of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed at the same time as other people consider concerns that they plainly do not recognize about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest as neatly as defined out the whole thing without having side effect , folks can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thank you
