Pic #1, busy busy mudala……I am sure at the end, the lady was like” basiyeni ba mudala banitundila kudala” :)>-
Pic # 6. Reminds me of my days growing up in kitwe. That was the meeting place for Ba Hellen Kaunda girls, Ba Kitwe Boys, Ba Mukuba boys, Ba Mindolo girls, Ba Chamboli na Ba Ndeke. Chaletwala pa Zamby snack bar after school. Iyee I wonder where Ba Chinyimba who made that monument is!! That man was talented.
Pic 1-senior citizen in action awe kwena ni zee,wow that chick in pic 8 has a nice arrangement and pic 3 imichopo getting ready awe ni zambia ziko lamutendele.:-?
Pic 2&4 wow!!! God’s beautiful creation.
yaba pa kitwe kale, i remember Mindolo dam in those days, God is good
I cant wait to go to Mindolo dam with ma family. Its a nice place ah!
Picture #1 doing tha thing ah!
I wish LT could have put up the picture of the RB,his wife and Muswati’s wife. Picture of the YEAR
pic#1, shikulu enjoying rhumba music while checking the young lady’s bokosi, he maybe the famous senior citzen or veteran on LT blog. #2 you have strong roots in kitwe, nice you have remembered Mr Francis chinyimba a very talented artist. i have also been wondering where he is, he taught me at mukuba in the early eighties. mposamabwe!!
pict.#1Umwaume tapwa….. at 75 the man can still “dare” the 25year old lady and in public for that matter!
LT its CHISOKONE! do you check these things before publishing? OR you do it in a HURRRRRYYYY!
# 1:((:((:((:((:((:((:((:(( I think its Mutoto or mutundila mbuzi or maybe he is a Tonga Bull hahahaha awe mwanid Mindolo dams is a good place we made history there
Ba # 8, I was made in Kitwe, attended primary and secondary school exclusively in Kitwe, tertiary mu Kitwe. I knew Kitwe like the back of my hand. I left in the eighties and only went back last year. These photos brought a lot of memories to me. Nostalgia eeish!!. Thanks LT for bringing Kitwe into my living room. No matter how run down it looks, I love it, for me it is home.
PIC #6, Ba LT please try to employ qualified staff. The statue “Mposa Mabwe” has nothing to do with miners. It represents freedom fighters who fought the colonial police in the streets with stones during the Chachacha phase of Zambia’s independence struggle. The statue is a symbol to their memory.
The last picture, how conme tapali ba blackie. I thought we had black Zambian miners!
Photo no.1 those are the old chaps we read about shagging women in their sleep!
#14 Joze, photo #13 was a group photograph of Members of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Danish Parliament and officials from their Embassy in Zambia, I am sure they took photos with Zambian miners as well.
Pic 1 has been circulating in email forwards as ‘balloon type, no age limit’
Kitwe town,too old and run down.It’s time to put up new shopping malls.I used to spend my weekends in Kitwe Chimwemwe from Mufulira in the seventies.Home sweet home.
Nice views from Mindolo Dam.
Salsa has gone Zambian. I wonder if Salsa countries have Kalindula dance groups….
nice pics from ordinary every day zambian life. very inspiring. but that braai, where is the meat?
Thanks for the good selection of photos LT…keep them coming.
LT try to use more Zambian English words or at least southern African English words. Don’t write BBQ you write BRAII
#13 yes you are right about pic # 6. These are things that should be taught in schools about Zambian history, social studies and the like. Then we would have journalists who had knowledge about the country they lived in!!
pic1..wasted years on earth. These old balis are responsible for the countries underdevelopment, his current behaviour depicts how time wasting his past lifestyle had been….in bars and taverns
I do not remember Kitwe like that! I remember a much better town or maybe I just didn’t know any better. It appears run down folks, Anyway, home is where the heart is.It’s still beautiful……………NO?
Awe street sha ku kitwe shileumfwisha insoni ukulanda ichachine, is it true that this is copperbelt where copper is mined, awe bagavumenti shud do something, filyafine bashile ba kulile ba KK nanomba awe impya shileya kwisa?????:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o ubulanda ndefwaya ukulila mwe bantu? mayo weeeeeeeeeeeeee?

This Level of english and the sense behind it puzzles me.Edited?
Especially ” From their Zambian Embassy” What’s the Meaning?Was it translated from Bemba?Nyanja,Timbuka,Kikaonde or?
I worked with the great Zambian artist here at home in Botswana. He taught Art and was always top in final examinations in school, cluster level, regional level and at one point nationally with !00% pass in art. After seing the sculpture of Mposa Mabwe I understand why he always came tops. I wish the Government of Zambia could to something to honour the Main man as we affectionally called him. That country has produced an ireplaceble teacher of art.
