    Hone students!!! We know you guys.You just want the college to be closed so that you can avoid writing exams scheduled for Nov/Dec.Please ECZ oh I hear its now TEVETA,dont postpone the exams….let those who were drinking Shakers ate Elnos without studying be judged by their deeds.Why this time of the year when you had all the time.I was at Hone and I know the kind of desperate students who support such nonsense when its exam time.The worst affected are the graduating third years.

  2. Caption @pic8:

    Ba LT, how can someone choke “with gears”?!

    If she can choke on “gears”, I am sure “tear gas” would be a piece of cake! Ha ha ha ha ha ha—-Ba LT, this is really getting embarrassing!

  3. Ma rubbish. We are known zambians to be spitful and vengeful. Politic as usual. Condolesence to the passing of the catholic father. :-? Nothing interesting

  4. # 3 Sharp Shooter-Ha ha ha i relate to what you are saying.I remember us doing exactly that during my time there some years ago.Elnos is still ticking by the way.I went there after five years to just find the same old faces.To all the monks and moma`s of hone my advice is bola panshi.

  5. Pics 23 & 24, Caona mzako capita, mmawa cili paiwe. To those in power, learn from this. When you are at the very top, the only thing remaining is for you to come down! Therefore, your preoccupation should be to make your comming down as smoothly as possible. It would be against nature to stay up, (the Gadaffi and Sadam families know this better). It need not be this bad as Mandela has shown. Stop the childish vengeace of sorting each other out just because you can!!!!!!!!

  6. MAYO IULE KUTI LYAPOKA SHANI INDALAMA SHAFULA IFI? LETS HOPE THESE GUYS WILL CHANGE AND UTILISE THE MONI PROPERLY . BA FATHER MAY YOUR SOUR REST IN PEACE. ALANGIZI YOU ARE ALWAYS INTERESTED UKULOMBA INDALAM AFTER THE MARIAGES., OTHERWISE NI KUVINA MWAMENE WAINVELELA AND ALL GOES ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  7. Pic.2. O.M.G!!! Mazdumbo na AK 47, are we safe? Funny pic LT.

    Pic 13 – 16. Ma prostitutes are now getting positive recognition. I thought Zed is a christian nation. I hope it wont inspire our young gals to join the trade….. sorry they call it profession.

    Pic 17 – 21. My heart felt condolences to the Catholic Church. RIP Fr. Miha. A true prophet.

  8. The weapon in picture 2 in the hands of the man in a white shirt is not a Kalaishnikov, consult before you report. Not all weapons are AK 47s. Good pictures though.

  9. @ pic no. 3; dang looks like the Hon Minister needed a crane to assist him to get up!!!! lmao!!!! Doesnt fitness account for anything as the Minister of Defence?? I bet he couldnt even hit the target on pic 2

  10. GBM should do something about his weight it is not politically correct to call him madumbo but aweh kwena. his weight is wrong it is not painting a good picture to the nation. It costs huge amounts to the UK to treat people who are clinically obese like this. The Government should look at this issue more seriously to promote a healthy nation.

  11. That guy should be put on a treadmill for three months or more. that is just ridiculous kwaliba? Awe kwati black bag ya mafi atase!

  12. Can’t get enough of pic#3 it cracks me up.I think its the best picture of the year..On a serious note how come this is the first time a minister of defence is seen posing with the army during training.Is it excitement and immaturity-like a kid in a candy store.
    pic 13-16 thats a good initiaitive.hope those women realised how beautiful and precious they are

  13. this is the james banda they call a thug, looks like a clean cut businessman…. all this time i thought he was something like Castro (rip)…. leave this man alone, obviously he is very intelligent

  14. Guys lets do a simple statistic on the appointment of Emmwanuel Mwamba etal. Those who are against the appointment of Chungu, Mwamba etc, thumbs up now. Please Vote up as lines are open!!

  15. Imwe Ba LT does an AK 47 rifle look like that…the most distinctive profile shape of a rifle and you confuse it with that funny looking Chinese rifle!! 

  16. #10 ……………wasnt it a known fact that the three diagrams in pics 22, 23 and 24 were really naughty little boys. Its not revenge, its just called discipline

  17. I think the army also need to modernize their uniform alongside their military equipment. I recall seeing the same type of combat from way back when I was a toddler singing songs like.. “Simithi walepela kulowa mu Zambia…”

    All in all, we appreciate the courtesy of availing us a graphic glimpse of homely happenings LT.

    Happy Weekend everyone.

  18. SATA CHILUFYA MICHAEL DO NOT TAKE PEOPLE FOR GRANTED!!!!! ITS LIKE YOU ARE FOOLING ZAMBIANS BY APPOINTING MWAMBA AND CHUNGU AS PERMANENT SECRETARIES! FOR GOD’S SAKE DO YOU MEAN THERE ARE NO OTHER CREDIBLE PEOPLE, SHAME THIS GOVERNMENT IS NOT GOING TO IMPROVE ANYTHING. SATA YOU ARE LUCK BECUASE PEOPLE HATED BWEZANI OTHERWISE YOU WOULD HAVE NOT WON!

  19. Pic# 13 at least those are not too shabby looking…. but the fact that there’s even such a thing as ugly prostitutes tells you pretty much all you need to know about men.

  20. Pictures 3 to 5: Ba Zambia army, muza menyewa kuyipa. These days warfare is high tech. Tu ma AK47 what would they do against Tomahwk missiles which patrolled the streets of Baghdad?
    Just pack up and sign a treaty with one of the super powers to defend you.

  21. Zambia needs to invest in its human resource to improve in its various spheres of social and economic life,surely those arms are obsolete look at the Israelis our army would have difficulties standing up to modern warfare,Do we even have an airforce to talk about baligoleka ama Mig

  22. PICT 15, 16:
    Who said that prostitution doesn’t pay?
    How many morally upright women out there who have lived perfect lives will ever see K45 million?

  23. Ka Masebo kasuma but, i would vote for her even if she is taking chongwe seat for granted , but we need nice looking faces in parliament not the Luo’s please kwati aleluka pamenso

  24. @23 ‘Chengelo’ – You say James Banda looks smart and intelligent when you have been made to believe he is a thug. What kind of thinking is that? To apply your logic; ‘If you look smart and itelligent, and have the added bonus of being a businessman, you are not a thug.’ Columbian and Mexican drug barons view themselves as enterpreneurs, and dress very smartly – in addition to summarily executing anyone that comes in between their lucrative ‘business’.

  25. I feel for those young students to be going thro’ such trouble and horror by disfunctional fools. Hw in this mdern era would student or any other institution go without the necessity of water? I’ll be fund raising for that bore hole pump please. Can sosme one tell me what kind of water system supplies Hone college?

    GBM kwena this pipo dify the essence of going to school. i wonder what sort of meeting does this man conduct and how he articulate issues?

  26. #5. Those are Chinese made tanks from the 50s/60s. After firing for 2hrs. they have to be rested coz the the metal gets hot and causes their barrels to curve. Lol. I mean, seriously!

  27. What people seem to forget or don’t know is that Chungu worked with Sata whilst Sata was in MMD. This man is not new to Sata, the timing is just bad by Sata to try and bring him on board. Maybe he knows a thing or two about the convention when Stata took K2billion !! In my opinnion it was going to be pay back time .

  28. Good photos of the sound of war demo. The Defence Minister was shown a glimpse of military work. Next the president should be invited as he still equates police to the army. Photos of Fr Miha’s burial bring tears to my ears. The man though foreign deserves more than many of us Zambians to be called son of the soil. Go well padre.

  29. Careful mune GBM, don’t use that weapon on your helpless wife!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ba LT naimwe dont mislead pipo. Picture #9 The man talking is Mr Kangwa the College Principal. He is not a cop!!!!!!!!!! ala!!!!!!!!

  30. very funny developments bane, Pic.#9 the college student being helped to rinse her affected eyes with water, so there is no water on campus but there’s water to use after demonstrations. That college is not improving in any way, just what is wrong with zed???????????????????????????

  31. Number 12! yes it is a Christian nation,I just wonder if at all you read the bible….because JESUS came for these same people. 

  32. Thanks for the good writeup. It in reality was once a leisure account it. Glance advanced to more brought agreeable from you! However, how could we keep up a correspondence?
