  1. Pic 7-What happened for this guy to be hit by a train was he drunk or high on some drugs ? Zambian trains are slow and very noisy i wonder what happened for him not to hear the approaching train.Sad indeed:((

  2. What did the traffic officers in Kabwe achieve in the end? Their patrol vehicle and the vehicle they were pursuing were both damaged in the end. A complete waste of resources as both vehicles have to be taken to the panel beaters.
    Those Women national team players are overweight. Yaba ukwina ne fimabele kwati filachita breastfeed. No wonder they lost 6-0 to South Africa. Those ladies need to be given in marriage and not to be bothered the way they are being bothered.

  3. Nice pictures especially picture 14. MMD has really become a party for jokers as can be seen by their type of cadre in this picture.:d:d

  4. :)Weldone L.T good mixture of pics. The Chingola pics brings so many memories.. Pic #1 Kitwe town centre is really an eyesore:((:((:-?

  5. Picture #6 is so touchy what was the purpose of exposing this woman and her kid on LT dont understand it.is she aware that she is on the net? bless her 😮

  6. Cops are overzealous especially when they know kulyamo….sometime back it was banned to chase traffic offenders, maybe in Kabwe they never got the directives ! Disband that sham of a team, baletusebanya fye bonse bamambala !

  7. Ba VP na ka Jacket ka pa salaula, with no tie and the so called suit was not irioned. Yaba ! when I saw the chiwawa bane; I feel like returning home tomorrow. Anyway, it is just a matter of time.

  8. The pics of home are quite depressing. Im supposed to be visiting in a couple of weeks time and these pics just make shudder. I guess home is home. Ku kosafye!!

  9. Pic # 18 That woman is brave. But very good position indeed! Pic # 15 The paintings are cute! Pic # 5 The guy in a blue top, a customer or a thief?

  10. The pics started off so nicely but LT you cant resist a Banda picture can you? So sick of him [-( :-l
    DRC president looks like Eddie Murphy :d

  11. pic 16 . Ala, so even the national women soccer team loses just like the men! Too big breasts, how can they run sure?

  12. To all the weirdos making comments about the women’s soccer team breasts.

    NEWSFLASH – Women have b.r.e.a.s.t.s, deal with it. Do you want women to remove them to play sports. How ignorant of you. I wonder what kind of b.r.e.a.s.t you fed off of to have such disrespect for women.

  13. Pic 14, RB is probably greeting the next press attache at the Zambian embassy in Nigeria.

    Pic no 8 & 9. There must be safer ways of tracing the owners of vehicles whose owners commit offernces, especially in a small town like Kabwe. No need for anyone (culprit or police) to lose their lives over a traffic offence.

  14. Iyeee Kitwe mwe bantu bakwa mulungu!!! Thats development according to VETERAN, MMD Bootlicker, Capitalist and the like. Beniko serious!

  15. Pic #13, Clever import, she saved the face of the customer by covering her own face. Good candidate for miss intelect.Thats why its good kuchita import pa Northmead, not ku chawama or pa tall trees…….

  16. Hmmm sre thats kitwe!!! Heey I cant withhold my tears. If a city can look like that what about the bushy towns? Veteran senioer citizen, thats what you call development really?

  17. Lovechild – that is indeed Kitwe second class but it must have been a sunday to look that quite as the place is usually very busy – tho very dirty in true Zambian style :)>-

  18. Pic #1. LT:(( I was brought up in kitwe, i never saw such a site in my home town- though the place looks like near the ‘Euro’ station. If truly pic 1 is Kitwe, then …. [-([-(

  19. Mayo ku Kitwe kwalipwa. Development kwisa, Kitwe looks terrible. Akantu uku kula ama Mall ati development. Now how are the people going to drive to the malls if there no good roads.

  20. Pic # 6. The woman needs to go to Choma hospital and find out why her legs are swollen. She may need antibiotics.LT should not just take pictures but help these people with professional advise.

  21. :((:(( MY HOME TOWN CHINGOLA WAS ONCE THE CLEANEST TOWN IN ZAMBIA BUT NOW IT HAS BEEN REDUCED TO THE STANDARDS OF A SHANT COMPOUND KITWE THE SAME.

    MMD is becoming unbecoming where did they get the small man to go and see off ba Alabee? why is it that every time he is going out they have to find people to sing for him that makes him think he is roved by evelybody

  23. Great picture in no# 18. a lady electrical engineer. Nubian princess don’t be mad there are still kings that care stayblessed.

  24. interesting pictures…I didn’t know we had Paparazzis in Zambia too. Mr. Sata & his accomplice look very “caught in the act.”

  25. I do not know where this country is heading. There is no sanity in everything that is done and yet we have politicians who travel abroad everyday and see what other countries are doing to keep their countries look clean and admirable. Politicians have taken zambians for a ride and it is high time we stood as a nation and reject this uncalled for attitude. why have we left the politicians to decide our destiny? Angola was at war for over two decades but see what development the country has enjoyed in the past five years. Le president please wake up and show us that you really love your country.

  26. Those women are not fit to play soccer. No wonder they were walloped 6 nil by Banyana Banyana. We need Caster Semenya alike in the team. Am sure the result will be worse in the reverse fixture in Pretoria.

  27. Pic#18, LT u have good cameramen coz if it was ba Post they could have taken a shot of a female engineer in a skirt from some angle.

  28. LT, there is no way that man could have been hit by a train…He hit into the train!!
    Ba kashana besu aba mu national team..iyee! as if they are playing akalambe!!
    Cops and Robbers Zambian style. In movies, the cops ram the bad guys’ car and the bad guys career off the road and are apprehended. In Zambia, the cops hit into the bad guys’ car and both hit into the same wall and cars are damaged. Criminals escape and cops lie that they were ambushed in the course of duty! Yangu.:-w

  29. #49 Zepipo, Our Zambian version of Caster Semenya has no time for such. She is in Cockpit bar making fast cash. Soccer? Teti!!

  30. i am sure that man jumped out of a moving train because if he was hit he was going to be mince meat. olo yalimu kwesa kofye chabe 😮

  31. Sata enze na arrangement yamu alpha bar, isnt that were the cute zombies lie waiting to devour young and older men alike?
    Ladies soccer is just beginning to develop so i hope the zambian ladies dont take that loss to heart, after all chipolopolo were whacked 5-1 by cameroun 2ys ago. Viva chipolopolo ladies! maybe this time i can find a zed lady to ride on top of me for once hehehehe…..

  32. “Patrotic front Leader Michael Sata captured at Northmead shopping centre driving an old Mercedez Benz car with a passenger who was hiding her face”.

    Come on LT photographer, why this caption? So what if Sata was driving an old mercedes benz?
    What kind of car do you have? I bet you can’t afford an old Fiat127, let alone a Mercedes Benz.

    On a positive note your caption grammer has improved.

  33. Man! Health care yapa zedi. The poor guy needed to be rushed to hospital for head injuries instead of photos being taken…:(

  34. Awe kitwe ya chilamo ubusali ninshi ba gavana na ba moyor balechita ba citty council, takuli ukuchi repair imisebo, akele kwali humanism week yayakwi, ;);)**==~X(

  35. I wonder where the Police officeer in pursuit of the Taxi got his license and by what circumstances he would crash in to a car in pursuit of a car ahead of him..lol..ninshi pa Z our officers no longer have driving lessons or what..haha.. what a disgrace indeed, wishing the casualties quick recoveries though..

  36. Hey #9..do you expect female soccer players to look like stick insects? These women are not overweight, but athletically built. Perhaps the reason they are losing games like 6-0 is because not enough money is being put into their program and people like you are always putting them down. They don’t need to be married either as I’m sure they are perfectly happy as they are! Studies in many countries have shown that girls who play sports have better self esteem, are less likely to get pregnant at a young age and more likely to finish school. Give your girls the opportunities to go further in life and start supporting them! It might help your country in the long run because the men have made a right mess of things up to now.
