Ha ha ha, ‘In the Zambia’ this is a classic one by LT and it makes my day!
Kekekeke, we are learning vocabulary under the pf regime. Its ‘the patriotic front’ so it shold also be ‘the Zambia’ stop laughing and just learn
So unfortunate for young man to visit Zambia in the hottest month, and the worst month for the PF government or is it the party?
This year ‘s October my dear started very cold.
I don’t know who is lucky between the prince and the us the Zambians that he came at the time HE is out of the country.
No head of state yet has the temerity to visit zambia in the age of Sata and his unpredictable behaviour.Thats a risk no leader wants to take.
Scramble for Zambia. China, America and Britain. Who else?
We thank God for your visit we pray that you will have a nice stay in our beautiful land.This is History and weldone PF GOVT.for hosting the heir
to the thrown.Only the enemy if the state can say negative things.They are yet to see greater and mighty things happen in Zambia under this govt for we have cried to The Lord for a long time
Grow up
Which throne his the youngest son..!!
comment yabako rather mwe!!!!!!!!
Why are these guys always coming to Zambia? Bush, Clinton, now the Queen’s son since his mother is too old to come herself. There certainly something we dont understand pantu kwenu awe fye. Working visit in Zambia??
Anyway forgive my ignorance on these visits
I’m with you Ex-Zit
@Ex ZIT,
And why are Zambians in their thousands including yourself in the USA, the UK and elsewhere around the world?
@ We The People, am very much in Ndola, Zambia my boy so if you follow the tuma flag u will be deceived. Am just concerned about these visits by bamukukulu aba… Nothing good for our country. We dont want to be in Kenya’s shoes ati Manda Hill siege by Alshabaab…. kikikikikikikiiiiii
We have rich mineral deposits. They are trying to cut deals that will ensure 90% of the profits end up in the west.
@We the people
We in UK, US etc are settled in our adopted nations. Edward is not coming to settle here. If he did, there are emigration procedures to be followed (as we have done) and he would then become a contributing member of society.
You can’t compare the 2. What we know of these western powers is that they come with a bible in one hand and a gun in the other
These are high profile visitors only the wise can see what is happening in Zambia .You are busy critising the Govt and yet the international community has a positive response,acknowledging our achievements shame on us.
@cage the crooks
So you think they are coming here as a positive response to Zambia’s development???
You need to grow a healthy sense of cynicism and don’t be so simple minded. I can forgive you if you’re young and still looking at the world through Ross-tinted glasses.
Talk to him about convincing British Aiways to stay.
Baiche do not forget we have started exploring for oil and gas!
What has the Bush empire invested in dearly back home? Oil, Gas ……
@Ex Zit. thats ryt! the visits are not mere ones. something big in the underground is happening so scaring to mention. something is happening guys. watch out cause its going down.
This shows PF govt has the blessings from the international community I hope the opposition will acknowledge this special visits( fore runners) the best is yet to come.Congrats PF govt
wats there to congratulate the PF js cos a muzungu has visited Zambia should we now sing praises to PF,don’t be naive man,hw do you know maybe the visit was planned five years ago?people are here to steal your minerals and all you can say is bravo PF.wake up and bury that complex you have.its just a muzunga and i believe hes not the first one to have visited Zambia before.
It’s not about PF.
It’s about Zambia, regardless of who is in power. We are trying to avoid rape of our precious natural resources via some sham deal! Capish?
correct High speed mama
One question to you against such visits even if you ve got minerals can you do on your own? U can not do we need them as much as they need us. Or else i fear Zambia will not develop here in South Africa no one wil question something like this.
It’s scary to read stereotyped and short-sightedness on some of the comments here. Borrowing 250 mill. dollars is a sign of a govt. that’s broke. If they (govt.) can’t even get enough revenue to finance the exploration; let alone lure investors to invest, then what are you chaps yapping about “mighty Zambia”? I think USA and GB have more than enough resources and better trade partners than PFZambia. Just be happy that someone even thought of visiting you.
welcome your old colonies MONKEYS/kaffirs! , lets repeat history!
welcome your old colonists MONKEYS/kaffirs! we are back. lets repeat history!
