  1. PIX 12, 13 AND 25- CHIPATA HAS BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPE. WELL PLANNED AND ORGANISED THIS TOWN CAN BE SUITABLE FOR A CAPITAL CITY. LET’S SERIOUSLY THINK ABOUT IT. THE LANDSCAPE IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND THEREFORE NOT MONOTONOUS. WHAT IS MISSING IS A RIVER PASSING THROUGH TOWN OR AT LEAST NEAR TOWN TO CROWN IT ALL.

    • Pic 1,2..- Cute drum majorettes!

      Pic 18 – Who’s that moron on the phone when cute Mwale is delivering his speech?

    • That was alot of PF pictures, 51 of them. 51 yrs and you fail to produce even just 1 picture of KK.
      What is independence without KK? Are you crazy you PF?

    • My friend, the moment you arrive here you will start missing where ever you are coming from. You will not eat those mountains, you will be welcomed with the realities of being in the dark for half of your day, high cost of living, excessive heat, demonstrations every two weeks at all public institutions of learning and to crown it all’; a very arrogant and unlistening government.

      come and see for yourself.

    • @Peter, ati you miss home??? Maybe it is because you didn’t see price of millie meal in pictures, did you even try to find out exchange rate for pound today? Your family miss you because you don’t even take advantage to send them 50 pounds to them for independence.
      You miss Zambia, mwebaiche imwe mulenashako dobo.

  2. Yes Chipata is nice but hilly too. The woman driver at Kapata township accident was speeding under alcohol. I know the place.

  3. Stella Libongani is getting fatter. Sata will fire her when he becomes President. She is disgracing his father.
    On the other hand, all the service chiefs are too fat. Since General Chinkuli’s, Fabiano Chela’s, Peter Zuze’s days, it looks like a pot belly is now a qualification to be a service chief.

  4. @36 pozi pa zed ka..ama phone 2 ..from the minister to …nothing interesting in the photos..try something different…these celebrations are boring to attend…
