First. Ok LT is spoiling us. too many pictures…….does anyone know the reason for the fuel shortages.
Kalampa October 23, 2009 At 8:10 pm

What has viewing shoes got to do with the topic of the summit (Internally Displaced people). You see that his trip was just a waist of resources. Yaba. Mudala uyu is a big let down. I cannot believe how immature he is.

I am surprised that Dr Kaunda is still living in Kabulonga. I thought that the government had built him a house that he should have moved in by now.

GOOD PICS THOUGH TOO MUCH ON POLITICS AND POLITICIANS, SHOW MORE PICTURES OF LIFE IN THE GETTOS.
Makweti M October 24, 2009 At 12:31 am

The Govt Is now buying the rural vote through so-called Agric Inputs.
MMD is totally dead in the Western province and thus the desperation to bribe the rural voters.
The hour has Come again!!
Vera should have deputised at Social services going by her work rate at the Hope Foundation.LOL

mwenya October 24, 2009 At 9:39 am

LT you really have to do something about whoever you have writing the captions under the picture. One or two typographical mistakes may be understandable but I note that in every edition of ‘The Week in pics’ there are glaring errors in the captions. I have come to the conclusion that whoever you have doing this task has a substandard level of the English language. You better seriously consider replacing him/her has he is doing the reputation of LT and the blog a de-service. Whereas we appreciate that not everyone can be expected to have a very high standard of English, if one is to work in the media his/her level of the english language must be beyond reproach.
Sukisa Bango October 24, 2009 At 9:44 am

# 29 looks like “Rubbish B” went for shopping at Owino Market, unless they sell Zapatos now at Nakasero market ? The Jaribu woman looks like a malaya in Kampala called Mama Telex, she pimps young women in Kabalagala Kansanga area..
zosa October 24, 2009 At 9:54 am

Pic number One. the caption says the guy is making garden chairs. I can’t see any garden chair there. May be Iam blind. There is a beter way to describe that scene.
Nine Chale October 24, 2009 At 9:55 am

Lots of interesting pics, my favorite for this week being #20 – nice to see how the Zambian youth are concerned with education. Only he who sees the impossible can achieve the unreachable.
