  1. Come on guys at LT. I am an ardent supporter of what you are doing; keeping us informed for free. But your caption of Patrick Mwanawasa as Kafulafuta MP is quite childish. You are turning reporting into a joke. Please be serious as some of us really appreciate accurate reporting and use it to analyse issues correctly. Otherwise, you are doing a commendable job.

  2. I think the comment on 24 is a response to what he Patrick Mwanawasa was quoted as saying. He said he sees himself as Kafulafuta MP in future! Lt keep up with the good work. Nice Pictures. What happened to Jazzman?

  3. #2 and #5, Patrick is not Kafulafuta MP and not even LT is saying that. Have you noticed the punctuation ‘??’ after Kafulafuta MP? Those two question marks are in reference to Patricks ambition to stand as Kafulafuta MP. Punctuation marks are very important in grammar and if we miss them statements can mean something else. So spare LT a break on this one.
    Coming to the pics today i think they are only concentrated on one issue and it was this ceremony, seems nothing else happened in Zambia. But i still appreciate them anyways better than nothing.

  4. LT, WHEN DID PATRICK BECOME MP????????? THIS IS CHILDSH REPORTING. BE SERIOUS YOU CANT EVEN COPY FROM THE WAY POST NEWSPAPER HAVE TRANSFORMED THEIR SITE. THATS WERE I AM NOW SPENDING TIME BLOGGING THESE DAYS.

  5. how old is Patrick?hope his mind is as mature as his looks.he is such a handsome youngman….well built…I wish my eyes could cry on that shoulder as my tender nipples lay in touch with that big chest…uuuhm oooh Patrick ooh Patrick hold me!

  6. pic 10 does that princess fishnet outfit have traditional origins ? If it does the ancestors must have been some serious freaks with theirs

  7. Mytisha ,am a man…and please dont u ever start a fight with me OK.pliz dont stat with me…am a fire u kant put out!

  8. ok then are useles jelous gay chap!u think am scared of a WEAK man like u?uuuh show me wat u got…..bring it on BOY….pencil ****…..I aint scared of a weaka.s.s d.u.m.b lyk u,’nam sayin?

  9. #19 I forgive you my sista.its a small world,if I wanted I kud have just tracked down your IP address en splash sum nasty cum inside yo mother!pliz dont mek me do that!

  10. Nice pics…

    wonder why Jazzman Chikwakwa is being evacuated to UTH, whilst kafupi strolls on a jet to RSA??????

  11. KAPONYA – Thank you! It seems people’s comprehension of the queens language is very poor. Anyone who claims to be able to read should upon seeing the punctuation marks ?? know the hidden meaning in this context, but alas. Question marks are very straight forward. How come our chiefs (tains) always wear weird huts? Is this really our cultural attire of is there a crisis of identity?

  12. Pic #5 Shakers takes me aback(reminds me of the ZNBC advert Respect(Ulemu)).Tujilijili I thought was burned after that incident in Chongwe were somebody cropped after taking them.
    Those initiates!! Basopu!!.They have graduated on how to handle the household.

  13. #27 – my sentiments exactly. we seem not to have a defined cultural attire. i see a mix of english/ zulu/ ndebele and some congolese here. clearly demonstrating that zambia is a very young nation and our identity isn’t quite marked. 

  14. “In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of short cuts or settling for less. It has not been a path for the faint-hearted; for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things;… who have carried us up the long, rugged path toward prosperity and freedom.” BH Obama (45th US President at his inauguration). I hope that some day, a Zambian will be able to say this, but going by the booze and pleasure we seek, it may be a very long way to go!

  15. so Patrick is to young?? too young for what??? he might as well be the MP… now excuse my liberalism, the solwezi MP dies and cost the country money cos he was too old, the past kafulafuta MP is greyed out and too old, part of the graft, what is it that Patrick cant do, i will tell you he cant steal as much as a seasoned politician. Let him run and win….zambia shall be saved!!

  16. Pic #2 ba maureen looks urgly on the face and too much weight, what has happened to her beaut? shakafuswa has started his bootlicking

  17. 39. Qualifications to an MP in Zambia on MMD ticket : Retired and at least owing a piece of land otherwise known as a farm, commenced politics at grassroots

  18. hee…ba mambala dont fight here. You are lucky I was not here other wise nga na chimilopola ichine chine.
    Yaa tumabele twantuto awe twena twalwendelela bane. There is no milage there……..

  19. LT avoid indecency exposure please. Internet is not a Ila land to expose amabele yabana babanenu. We need to see yours next week.

  20. pic 5-shakers chali kale,pic 10 the princess looks hot,pic 24 patrick should go to the barber shop and 21 while ! kanachisungu awe pali ilyashi first kukalukilapo ne chikuti nachimbi thats what i call the real afican beauty

  21. #10
    I think tradition should dictate that Nkomeshya’s princesses go topless.

    #16 Is Catholicism the official cult….or sorry i mean religion of the Soli

  22. Oranje91 you sound familiar – that’s if your ID has something to do with your CV.

    I notice that Zambians have adopted a new style of dressing fashion – Nigerian aparrell, Xhosa hats for the ladiesand Mandela shirts for the men…not authentically Zambian but looks good. If I’m not wrong, the authentic Zambian traditional dress is the birthday suit as seen in pic 21.

  23. What else can I enjoying looking at apart from the tits. Nice tits. More tits please. LSKtimes you have heard I´m asking for more tits.

  24. MMD is not the Family party. MMD will be hijacked by the Mwanawasa’s and the Chiluba’s like the way the Kaunda’s hijacked UNIP. Zambians watch out

  25. Fellow bloggers we expect you to have an ability to interpret punctuations in statements and get correct meaning out of that! Very disheartening to see 3 quarters of you busy shooting down LT coz of the caption on Patrick and Shakafuswa, urging LT to be serious, yet you’re the ones who aren’t serious and you’re busy exposing your dullness! Shame on you. Learn to exercise your ability to reason and if that’s too painful to do, then don’t send comments that show how mentally retarded you’re. When your friends were busy braving the winter to go to school, you decided to enjoy a slumber and now you’re blaming LT for ur own failure to understand simple & straight forward English. I hope this seed hasn’t been spread coz our future is threatened then. We can’t have such a generation in…

  26. #21, ka young girl utumabele twantutu twamoneka bwino, not the expired ones we see at Ncwala ceremony….

  27. Firstly, this idea of impersonating me should come to an end. You know yourself. Secondly, Quick recovery to Jazzman, although he looks quite stable in my opinion. Hope it was just not a stunt to include pa C.V ati, “Once evacuated by air to UTH during RBs days”.

    I am Ngoni but i will agree that what you see at Ncwala (breasts) is truly expired, but does not represent the true ntwane. Our women have better ntwane than what is usually exhibited.

  28. Go on PATRICK WE NEED young and fresh brains to run the affairs of our nation not these disgruntled old folks in the likes of the; Snakes(cobra), Nyama soya, red lips, v.j, ngondo etc. 

  29. Patrick Mwanawasa became an adult when he turned 18. If constitutionally he is recognised as old enough to vote, then surely he is old enough to stand as MP. Granted, he may need more life experience, but his different and fresh outlook may be what our politics need. Note that i am referring to his age and not necessarily him in particular. I am also against the view that just being Levy’s son suddenly makes him qualified. I would like to judge him on his own merits or demerits, so its upto to him to prove himself. Having arguements with a kaponya like Mico Chiluba and using language such as “i am game” wont help his cause. If he really wants to take advantage of his fathers name he needs to act the part. Confused? I wish him all the best.

  30. Amabele yantutu yena, mwilalandapo sana, pantu uyu umukashana eena, wandi! as iam speaking, ali nakumwandi…aishile mailo ichungulo, you know what i am saying?

  31. forget tradition! none of it is used meaningfully anymore. let’s all use genuine common sense.

    who’s got contact with the princess in the meshed costume? please somebody hook me up!!!

  32. Pic 9 iyo ozamwina, umbi akalyapo nembwa yakwe popy. Apart from the lozi and mwatakazembe is there any other Zambian traditional tribe that has got its own authentic native attire because the attire (especially the hats) the Chiefteness and the daughter are wearing is Zulu

  33. Traditional ceremonies are premitive and uncontructive. why still doing the same bututulism of the past. we are living in the 21st century people. Your friends are busy trying to find and discover tings to make life better, ifwe we are busy celebrating bututulism. Nice pics by the way LT

  34. Pic #2, ba Maureen who are you texting ah ah, lol? Pic # 10 mwakula bena Mervis huh, is that Cholwe? Grew up with these people. pic #17, they still have totapacks huh? Lar but certainly no least…….am not a pervert but pic# 21, yes….those are the ones right there.

  35. The caption is unfair because it is seen from the western refrence point.It would read well without “Half Naked” Do you exect to find a caption in western media, with the caption:; People at the beach “Half Naked”:o:o:o

  36. It is like having a caption People drunk after taking Utujilijili….as if it is not expcted….
