    • She’s not a patient, she’s merely having herself checked for Cervical Cancer symptoms although consent from her could have been appropriate.

    • Not in Zambia. Patients information and Privacy is not there. Media ethics is not practiced. Here we sue.

    • How do you know they might have got consent from her. I believe the photographer must have told her this would go public

  4. Sata UGLY! These are the kind of African guys who will use money to get pussy here!
    No real love for them!

    • You mess up the country and run away leaving it to high profile foreigners to come and clean it for you. You must be ashamed of yourself.

    • If you don’t want to go back anymore then why do you still bother reading the news at home? The truth is you miss Zambia just like me. Gooooo Zambia, one Zambia….one Nation.

  7. Photo no.24….You can trust me with my life,that Zambian woman is hardhearted…she does not even like her own mother!Kind of women you will find working at KK Airport…no smile on their faces,frustration is the order of the day!That is why I’m not coming back!

  9. He looks like he is happy while doing it……maybe just maybe it was all done because he wants to start giving back….again maybe 

    • ARE YOU KIDDING? Do you know ANYTHING about what President Bush has given to Africa and other places? I would suggest you do some research. STOP listening to the shameful & horrifying lies of the leftist press. Oh and, percentage of funds given to charity? Check out the last 10 years numbers on Bush and Obama. You’ll see that Bush gave FAR MORE of a percentage of his wealth away than Obama ever has.

  10. Picture 4

    Please , does that blackboard also waiting for donor funding? It is really disgraceful that such a cheap item  and yet vital in the  classrooms cannot be properly maintained. For less than 100pin you can get a new blackboard

  11. Just looks like a western photo op to seem benevolent. How much  manual work did he actually do ? you need to be careful with these westerners . They love to take pictures among the poor and disadvantaged to make it seem as they care when they don’t, remember hurricane katrina and how bush could care less but was seen doing photo ops. Its all about propaganda when it comes to these white liberals. He will come to africa to some clinic and only hold a paint brush when his photographer tells him to do so but when it comes to having a say on foreign policy disadvantaging africans he is nowhere to be seen

    • Sorry, you’re an *****. You know NOTHING of how much “Westerners” give. Unfortunately, much of it is STOLEN by the leaders of the countries the money is given to.

      George W. Bush gave more to Africa to fight AIDS & poverty than ANY OTHER PRESIDENT OR WORLD LEADER IN HISTORY. WAKE UP!

  13. Nice pictures.Very humbling to see a former American head of state get his hands dirty.they seem to have enjoyed interacting with the kids.

  14. Bet the guy behind George bush in pic 14 has never painted a wall in his life.He usually hires people off the streets to do it.

  15. Pic 28
    This is a look of a man who has been unfairly humiliated and is unlikely to ever visit us again

    • Thats a look of a man who is saying am coming back Mr.President, am coming back! of which his definately coming back. This time in three months time.

    • Thats a look of a man who is saying am coming back Mr.President, am coming back! of which his definitely coming back. This time in three months time.

  16. Pic #5 oh my goodness.Thats alot of nshima per plate.It would take two people to munch one plate of that nshima in my family.

  17. Have to give it to George Dubboyah mwe. This is what former heads of state should be doing; endearing themselves to true causes and the help of others. Imagine if Alla Bee took time to work for Zambians and use his capacity as former head of state to do work such as this in Zambia. Ba grand daddy a.k.a KK is doing this now in his advanced age…imagine all the time missed while KK was getting pushed around

  18. WHat on earth does Mr Bsush see in zambia that i dont see?
    Why does he come back ?

    I don’t miss Zambia at all, yes I will come after I die but that’s it

    I am lost for words

    Thanks

  20. I wish all our politicians and their wives were practical like the Bushes. #25 bed is just too short for the woman.

  21. YES! GEORGE BUSH AND MADAM BUSH ARE BOTH LEADING BY EXAMPLE. NOW YOU MINI-STARS (ministers) WHO JUST DRIVE IN YOUR TAX-PAYERS PAID FOR CARS EMULATE MR AND MRS BUSH. MOST OF YOU HAVE NEVER EVEN SEEN A SHANT TOWN.

  26. Mushota No.18. Welcome back to zambia as a corpse, and on your funeral i will make sure that we insert a stick on your “Panyo” and throw u in the hole to symbolise u lived for nothing on earth and never appreciated

  27. #6, you are missing zed thats why you are on this forum. belive if you are better off that side you would be busy with other things. tondolo musuma. Ba mushota when you die just rot that side we dont want you to contaminate our environment naka smell aka bad. fotske!

  28. GOD HELP ZAMBIA. I WONDER IF THE PEOPLE WHO DO MOST OF THE CONSTRUCTION WORK IN ZAMBIA ARE QUALIFIED BUILDERS. AND PLEASE BA LK TIMES MULETUSEBANYA. MULESAKO IFYA KUBIKA PA INTERNET. 

  32. ONLY LEVY MWANAWASA ROLLED UP HIS SLEEVES TO DO COMMUNITY WORK. I REMEMBER HIM DRIVING A TRACTOR IN CHISAMBA. THESE BEMBA PRESIDENTS (SATA, FTJ) ARE TOO PROUD. BRAVO TO MR. & MRS. BUSH & EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THE HUMANITARIAN WORK.

  34. A big thank you to Mr and Mrs Bush for their charitable work in Zambia, may the good Lord give both of you strength and wisdom in your everyday lives.

  35. Guys…instead of us hating on Zambia,each other and demeaning the Bushes or our President, can we just thank God for our lives and peaceful nation?The realization that we always wake up free and well isn’t enough? Even if Mr Bush has a hidden agenda which we might never know now, can we leave ‘Vengeance’ to the almighty? Cant a man have the liberty of visiting a country without sinister speculations?We only live once y’know…
