  1. Ndeoleshafy Pathetic Fools.
    Pc 29-31 Foolish. Lusaka times who pays a salary to show silly useless photos.

    Do you have work to do you *****s?

  2. And yet some blind fools will say ‘Why spend money on the Army when there is no war ?” Viva Zambia Army !

    • selfie life awe sure. trying to make some case so that when he decides to be a politician say 20 years from now he will be saying ban kin moon was my friend. Isnt it what we are used to see with our politician. ati Robert Mugabe was my comrade kanshi u just sneaked near him for a selfie

    • I was going to say the same thing. That`s kind of silly actually.. sure it feels great to rub shoulders with Mugabe and other dignitaries but as Press & Public Relations Sec. he could have simply asked someone else to take pictures.

    • kwena our brothers and sisters are heavily damaged. they dont even carry any african names anymore. this white man is a beast. where in europe will you find an entire nation whose leadership has african names?
      Why wont africans see these things sure? do we always have to point it out to you. if i brought a chocholize here and told you his name is brandon jackson, you will look at him different or surprised. so why dont you also get surprised when you hear an african with a name like da silva, ricardo, edgar, kenneth, michael,frederick, levy? is it because you have become so far removed from your true selves that these names are just normal now? Cry my beloved continent and people.

    • @ Umwina Nkana,
      LOL My thoughts exactly, or rather, same question.
      Most likely it could be that the shoulders of the tarred road are eroded and damaged due to rain and lack of maintenance. And so when the Police Officers instructed the Truck driver to get off the road and park on the roadside, it toppled over?
      This will generate a very interesting argument in Court:-
      Driver:- Your honour, it is the Police Officer’s fault because I was legally following his/her instruction to get off the road and park my truck on the roadside. Me I am a law abiding person.
      Police Officer:- Your honour, it is the driver’s fault because according to the law,he was the one driving.
      🙂

  3. Picture number 23, I love it. More so, because, the first African reverend was my Great grand faher, in the then Fort Jameson.

  4. As usual with LT, all pictures are horribly captioned. LT, I can caption your photos for you for free. Better still, I will pay YOU to do it, because this is very embarrassing and painful to read. And just to add some flavour, I will add some notes explaining exactly why the caption should read as I have captioned. Please contact me!

  5. The victims of the pontoon disaster look like culprits arrested after a chase! OK guys, sorry about that, good that you survived your ordeal. Silwamba, it is uncool to take selfies with dignitaries. Not very exciting actually – just saying – but you have a collection for your 15 minutes of fame nonetheless. Cops in Zed are so powerful they can impound a vehicle and topple it – oh!

    • Exactly my prejudice.

      With the recent Lusaka army ops, I had concluded that a ritual murderer or a looter was apprehended.

      We can do better than this in the rescue of people caught up in dangerous situations.

      Nevertheless, thanks for saving these lives.

  6. Chibaula Silwamba getting selfies with high power dignitaries makes you look no better than a love struck fan rather ask someone to take the photo for you ……there is nothing wrong with taking photos but people should understand what medium is correct for the office and for home
