  1. Pic#15 – RB practicing going back to the village as he will soon be doing. Thank you Jesus!

  2. Uyo kasai asuba ambi, go back to Kinshansa. Meeting with Emmanuel Mwamba transporting Chiluba’s loot back to the Congo

  3. pic 10 My goodness arent those abnormal loads suposed to be transported by train?What happened to the train system in Zambia somebody? and those roads are so narrow.2011 and you still have such roads?

  4. @Nubian princess,stop being brain erosion,what has she done 4 u to say that?blessed are they that who go in the funeral house,than those who go to feast.u should think twice b4 sayin that,..

  5. Pict. No1 Not long ago it would be unimaginable to see Shikapwasha and Xavier Chungu share the same platform, how thingz change.
    Pict. No2 Caristo left ZNBC, came back and left again?

  6. #7 villager stop cheating. You don’t get this nonsense anywhere in the world.You drive from Lusaka to Chililabombwe and you will find so many abnormal loads, and fleets of trucks that should have no business being on our dilapidated roads.They are a hazard to ordinary drivers and many people have lost their lives because of them.They also cause tremendous damage to our roads.How many people should be killed before these trucks are removed off our roads.

  7. So ka Caristo Chitamfya is the one who bypassed Zambian artists in promoting Zambian tourism? Mbilia Bel is so much better than Zambia’s own?

    Caristo Katufi

  8. #5 the train system is bad the rail track is dilapidated though can still be used. Main problem as I know it is the rail track is still owned by Zambia Railways Limited who are supposed to maintain it whilst the Trains are operated by Railway system of Zambia limited on a 25yr concession. RSZ asked the govt that it uses fuel levy to fix the track but boma refused. There are certain simple things that I wonder why the Phd holders, masters holders in govt can seem to get right.

  9. Pic #10,thats really shocking!!.In this centuary to have narrow major roads like that.we need motorways between major cities.shocking!!

  10. interesting to see Longacres lodge bt why is it everytime i post links to renders of zambia projects there blocked anyway…..skyscrapercity…..then look 4 zambia

  11. bt looking pic 10 there really need to extend that road 4 lanes minimum its a main road to a major center , trains can wait

  12. Catherine Namugala is the one who should have been fired for letting Caristo Chitamfya run the show.

    Zambia the real Africa was a perfect slogan. It was the marketing that is wrong. Let’s Explore, What? And then you bring non Zambians to promote your own country? Come on.

    Caristo is a Congolese in hiding hence his choice of artistes from that country to launch his ridiculous Let’s explore. Lwenu.

    Zambia is a failure. Period. Development is put in the wrong places like Longacre lodge. Look at those roads on the Copperbelt. The whole country survives off of copper and the copperbelt is always last in development. Such nonsense

  13. Sad to see chungu free like bird !!! He is even dancing.

    Why can’t they get another land and leave Longacres Lodge alone ???

  14. I agree with #7 Villager – the problem of abnormal loads is not only in Zambia. You will see abnormal loads on European highways regular too, only that here the roads and the logistics are much better. And why should someone conclude that Zambia is a failure? The country is absolutely beautiful with so much potential for development and the people are among the friendliest in Africa. No wonder our Congolese brothers and sisters feel so much at home when they’re in Zambia.

    These photos are not all there is to Zambia. There is so much more to see. Let us comprehend that no one but ourselves can make Zambia the place we would like it to be.

  15. @ NUBIAN PRINCESS I am happy my dear sister you love Jesus, that’s all I ever wanted to hear you say. 
    @ NINE CHALE thanks for remaining on this site representing LT foundations. All Zambia needs is Miyanda as president of Zambia over any party and we are set. Ask me why and I shall explain.

    • Always a pleasure to be here, my brother! And good to still have you around too. Now please go ahead and explain why you think the General is the best presidential candidate.

  16. Wow! you would mistake Mbilia Bel for Winnie Madikidzela Mandela in here!

    Ba Regina Chiluba bena, na Lipstick ba mkamfwila as early as this?? fili eko tuleya… I dig the idea of RB blending in with the folks at the local ‘pamunzi icililo’ Road blocks are there for pocket money for the Buju’s to buy chisense and saladi..

  17. Ba Mwanawakwithu muli uli? Nga muli makola , mbweni chete.I love the idea of Miyanda as next Zambian presido.. I will actually come and vote for him….if it will make a difference… we need down to earth people like him.. they are so hard to come by… RB not so bad, but I have nothing new or impressive to point my finger to as to what he has done or is about to do more in his tenure… nothing new really.. poverty… poverty… poverty… irks my heart, sob sob sob sob……

  18. A Bellah adumbu, Ndimwe a mrs Stevenson ? Tili makola kusebeza nakubelenga masukulu yaku ukulu ku suzya bongo bongo lol. Muliuli bana ba yesu? It’s been long mwe :)

  19. @ Bellah no# 21 good morning there in Sydney my sister, looking beautiful as always. In heart wisdom intelligence and body as Thumbuka women always are. Imagine Miyanda president having dambisa Moyo as commerce minister or state advisor? The police and RTSA in Zambia can be self sufficient by charging small dues to all motorists in parking and violations on the roads. But for corrupt government officials that pocket the collected revenues. Happy to see lady mbilia ” kuya Nairobi.” old classics. Keep in touch sister and educate your relatives back home. 

  20. Ehh mwanozya sono ba dumbu bane..kanele box 1 did my grade 8 to 12 at Kanele, ate those nchungas lkie nobody’s business. ke ke ke! {am lughing now}. { Mrs Stevenson.. you still remember those old days in L.T..} You are right.. Miyanda is our man.. but how to flick the light in him is any one’s guess. Sydney is good.. The thing I like about this city is, it reminds me of downtown Johannesburg.. not the violent side..but the Oxford Street side of Johannesburg I will never forget in my life time…..

  21. Kubelenga sono? good luck and best wishes.. ine nkukhumba yayi vimabuku sono.. I had too much of that..l iving it to the kids…. This is my future … chiuta nguwemi.. kulya na kukhala mbweni kwati na macelo wiza yayi…..lol { like you will never see tomorrow}

  22. @ Bellah 26, Nchunga is delicious. Raise those Children right with love and God’s discipline. I on the other hand am seeking on Godly, beautiful, wise, intelligent proverbs 31 wife that can cook; and also laugh pleae that one is important hahahaha. I know too many angry women.

  23. @ Bellah no# I went to Lake Road and Kabulonga boys( Kabs). So I have studied with all classes of zambians. Learn’t that great, good and bad people are found among the poor, middle class and the rich. It’s post grad. studies while working which is good but school in the late 20’s of ones life is difficult. One tires easily and is distracted by food and weather hahahahaha. My parents are from Luanshya though.

  24. Nice pictures! Seriously, abnormal loads are transported by road, not by trains. There’s just no way a train can transport this earthmover.

  25. We need to develop sports Kids are running Bare Foot in these times? Very sad? We can donate Zambians? Shoes for Zambia something we can manage I am sure.

  26. Pictures were interesting until you put RB. Did you sign a contract with MMD that his ugly face has to appear each time. So annoying!

  27. Magnificent goods from you, man. I have remember your stuff prior to and you’re just extremely wonderful. I really like what you have received here, really like what you are stating and the best way in which you assert it. You are making it enjoyable and you still care for to keep it sensible. I cant wait to learn much more from you. That is really a tremendous site.
