Well, well , well, I think this Beer man’s humility is now going overboard. I know he is being branded as a humble man, but holding a cob of maize and eating it like that is just not presidential. I think he is debasing the office of the president. There are many other dignified ways to show humility. We need to respect the Office and portray it in a dignified manner it deserves.
He is the President of Zambia and he should behave and look like one at all times. In Pictures 1 and 2, he looks like he is a charcoal seller who has refused to give a discount to a young customer who is trying every trick in the book to get a discount.
Come on Mr President, Charcoal trading is not more money in the pocket?? moreover our environment is compromised. tree are cut down to produce that nonsense. Empower the people with other heating / energy sources.
@MMD Chief bootlicker
just take one look his amatobo, you will know that they have been abused with Heavy drinking over the years,,,,,,,, and after Heavy hours of massive drinking a without eating baba daliso`s nshima ,,, chewing a poor man`s cob of maize comes handy
awe ba bootlicker pali cob of maize pena twakana. That is Zambian, we eat raost maize like that in zambia. To you dignified means holding a white mans fork and knife or eating a hot dog or burgher like barack obama at a baseball game? No, our standards of dignity should be measured from the perspective of an african in particular those resident in zambia. Our ways are specific to us and we determine the standards of what dignity is. so if he were eating ice cream or apple pie would have been more dignified? Lets be unapologetically african in all we do. we should eat, live,dream africa. Our greatness technologically, economically and socially will come from our culture. We can advance a million steps technologically if only we based our innovation in african culture. Viva black…

It is a DUAL Highway, not DUE. LT this is 2016; somethings MUST change for the better, no matter how small. Please!
By the way I wish I had that maize cob in my hand. Miss the real non GMO Zambia Maize badly.
Captions for Pic #7: Hey whoever, you are , can you hand me back to my mum, please? I don’t have a voters card nor do I qualify to vote, you should know better.
Caption Pic #9: And who are you? Do I look like a voter to you? Again, Can you two hand me back to my Mum please, I need to catch up on milk.
Have you seen that beautiful tonga girl in picture 21? I know one when I see one.

These toll gate booths are a joke! They are actually a safety harzard. Insuffient barriers to protect booths. Pavement/footing on which booth is constructed is too low to stop an on coming out of control vehicle to smash and flatten the booth with its occupants. No high roof to protect customers from the elements. Soon we may hear of fatalities among the toll gate clerks due reckless drivers and poor design. Security also seems to be lax! No CCTV or visible armed guards, just a police interceptor car! What a joke? Wonder how much was OVERSPENT on these toys!
@Jay Jay, spot on! Excellent observations!One wonders why we do things as if we are pioneers so we can mistakes and others can come and learn from us and improve on!? These things have been existing for years in many parts of the world, and we go ahead and make jokes of the kind instead of unleashing the best there is!
No CCTV No scales in sight to even validate or check how many HGVs and small vehicles have passed through the toll gates…the managers could simply change 30 HGVs to small cars on the days takings and pocket the difference…its 2015 and we are commissioning such shambles; 30% of revenue will simply go into pockets instead of going to what it is intended for.
Why not introduce prepaid accounts for transporters like haulage firms and passenger buses? That way they can simply scan their cards in a self-service toll gate and easy through as they are regular clients…you also reduce cash transactionso which only encourages corruption!!
@Quest, spot on! Excellent observations!One wonders why we do things as if we are pioneers so we can mistakes and others can come and learn from us and improve on!?

These toll gates are just cash cows for the tellers. It looks like there are not sensor counters to help account for the money being collected
#Mr Quest & Jay Jay, I was thinking the same too. These toll booths are a joke for sure. But then this is Zambia and this is seen as great achievement. No kamalata to protect motorists from the rains. I bet like the Chiyawa bridge, thousands of dollars were spent for a shoddy job. Can the road transport guys see an example of toll gates here dot m.youtube.com/watch?v=sPOHPi2lFvk
As for Changwa eating maize, that is ok. He is human too. So Mr #chief MMD boot something, you have no point here. I miss maize too but I now eat corn.
@Chitumbuwa. It is okay for him to eat anything he wishes but not in public (or the photographer should be instructed not to take pictures in such situations). He holds the highest office in the country but looks funny(for lack of a better word) in the picture. He loses respect with such pictures.
Everything about that design is so dated…I bet you they paid the contractor 2015 construction quotes for such appalling unsafe booths…it’s no wonder we are not getting the best contractors to deliver projects because our procurement and tendering procedures are flawed.
awe mwali shokoka pali lungu i think ala milwalika dailiya
People working at too booths will be fat. The money will be diverting to their personal use. They have to make it so we know how they keep track of the money.
Correction. Toll not too
These toll gates are temporary, I think they are temporary, surely they must be temporary…
Ok, these toll gates are unfinished, I think they are unfinished, surely they must be unfinished!
Good they have started generating some money so that they can be finished…
Ati Toll Gates. Mwe bantu what are those ugly looking things kanshi? How much was spent on those. And I am sure the designer was a Zambian Engineer. God help us.
In the second picture ECL looks like he was about to vomit on the charcoal seller
The first time I saw them(toll booth). I thought they were portable toilets from Andrew Kurt for construction workers. I was expecting to see the canopy over the booth, metal V barriers extending 50 m separating the type of vehicles by tonnage. fortified booth with two protruding and hidden CCTV cameras. I wondered where those abnormal trucks will be passing through. Can’t NRFA copy something from South Africa? am sure we all bought those dot.com vehicles from Durban and drove through their toll gates. Ukubuta pa Zambia.
you did not see Obama eat shaved ice cream in Hawaii will walking and also eat bugger in public and took the glass of alcohol don”t just criticize everything H.E Edgar Lungu does. Lets look at our neighboring Botswana the president even buys sample and sits with the community and eats with them while chatting
