I know I am black, but some Zambians are Dark, and that scary charcoal dark, is it genes

As someone who has an MBA, CIMA ACCA and soon PHD, I think we can Identify people’s roots ie zimbwabeans, Malawians from the complexity of their dark skins and their nose and for once I doubt people like Silwavwe and Lopa are zambians at all

Please agree with me and give me THUMBS UP. I am seeker of truth and Justice

Thanks

  Mushota, You are a Bozo. Your spelling and grammar, tells me that you are approaching the highest peak of Lunacy. If not outright Insanity. No wonder other Tribes are starting to get sick and tired of your Tribe. We are the Children of the Sunrise i.e Mambwe, Namwanga, Lungu, Nyika, Tumbuka, Wiwa, Bisa and so forth, and we are not scared of who you think you are. With our new found Freedom in a new Province. We will see who are the real inspiration for the Zambian Nation. At last no one will mistake for you Bemba’s may God Bless Zambia, May God bless us all. One Zambia One Nation under Sata. Thank you Mother Zambia.

Mushota and your qualifications…you know it just might take you a period of eight years to get all those, will a little bit of sweat…anyway, Dora’s house looks grand, one wonders how these guys are able to own huge estates when their salaries don’t carry a serious punch…anyway, with the way Zamtel and Finance Bank were sold in record time, an apple truly falls close to the tree…
NI ZEE November 22, 2011 At 3:53 pm

I have always tried not to say a thing directed to you Mushota but I think you sometimes go over board! May I suggest that you launch your own blog to write about personal issues and those interested can visit it and contribute, then come here to read news and if you have anything appropriate you then share. Please
Gumu Gumu November 22, 2011 At 3:54 pm

Ka Mushota

You claim to have those qualifications and yet you sound illiterate. Boasting ya nsala!

Dora – tables have turned. Soon you’ll be lining up kuma court. Crazy world!

Mama Betty Kaunda – Great picture.

MUSHOTA, I REALLY DOUBT YOUR ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS. THE CONSTRUCTION OF YOUR SENTENCE AND JUST YOUR WHY OF THINKING LEAVES EVERYONE WONDERING. IF YOUR ARE REALLY STUDING FOR YOUR DOCTORATE YOU WOULD TALK ABOUT REAL ISSUES.YOU SEE IN LIFE PEOLE WHO ACTUALLY HAVE THINGS ARE SILENT BUT PEOPLE WITH NOTHING ARE THE LOUDEST. YOU HAVE USED THIS FORUM TO ELAVATE YOURSELF, DEGRADE YOUR FELLOW ZAMBIANS. YOU ARE ALWAYS ON THIS BLOG, WHICH SKEAKS VOLUMES. WHY DON’T YOU GO AND BLOG IN THE BRITISH JOURNAL, WHICH YOU CLAIM IS YOUR NATIONALITY NOW. OR I SEE YOU ARE JUST A NEUTRALIZED CITIZEN AND YOU KNOW VERY WELL THAT DOESN’T REALLY GIVE YOU A SENSE OF BELONGING. YOU ARE JUST A LOOSER. SHUT UP FOR HEAVENS SAKE.

Pic 15-Good seeing that mama Betty is still going strong.Mushota i have never replied to any of your intellectually challenged posts but i now feel like doing so.Dude whats your problem ? We all have issues but please don`t bring them here.Reading between the lines… i wonder if your IQ is high enough to enable you earn all those qualifications.So please do us a favour…take a nap or alternatively go and dance naked in the streets.
Nubian Princess November 22, 2011 At 4:45 pm

Pic 1 – That is a amazing appointment! Sata good call.

Pic 7 – I commend Dora for doing away with the fake hair! Bad weaves don’t make anyone look nice, unfortunately black women don’t get it.

Pic 15 – KK and Betty, cutest couple ever!

#1,
the source of your words is usually not human. Therefore I bind and cast out of you the demon that inspires your uncomely words in the name of Jesus Christ the King of kings and Lord of lords. Amen!

From now on, you need to find a Bible believing Church, and ask them to lead you in a prayer for Salvation. Please no DIY prayers.
Mwiponta Mukabwela November 22, 2011 At 7:17 pm

congrats Sata for appointing a physically challenged person to high office, you are a president for every Zambian.
Iwe November 22, 2011 At 7:59 pm

Iwe Ka Mushota stop showing you ignorance here ok in fact you CIMA and ACCA makes you even more of a nobody and desperate. If you actually have those 2 you are not normal and wasted a lot of time studying things that wont add value atase… one of them could have been good enough thats if you are focused… MBA is another matter coz everyone should have that if they can

Mushota #1. You are a moron. My name is Silavwe and the man you are talking about Silavwe is my Nephew and we were both born in Chingola Zambia. You $#@% embercile. You are not the only one, who went to school on K.K’s generosity. I tool, have Degrees in Engineering, better than the crap you are bragging about. Thank God we got us our own province and do not have to be mistaken for you Bemba Bozos. Have a life.

Am convinced mushota is a troll who is probably a man in his 40’s that gets a kick out of getting on peoples nerves.
The Kimbanguist November 23, 2011 At 12:36 am

I agree with #25, Mushota is probably an obese, bald man with halitosis and crooked teeth trying to wind up hard working intelligent people.
It's a BOT November 23, 2011 At 12:48 am

Mushota is not a troll. It’s a BOT!
No sane person could repeat the same statements about their education and mention Nick so many times as if Nick is real.
Think about it once more.
Would any sane person act like that?
It’s a computer responding to your posts,It feeds from your posts mentioning Mushota.

Just don’t respond to IT and IT will go away.

What is obvious from the pictures is that Zambia is being ruled by tired old men. I find it hard to believe that since independence we still cannot find credible young men and women capable of providing leadership in this day and age. Most of these have been around from the time I started learning how to read and write. Another thing worth mentioning is that they are literally hanging in their suites and are better off resting in their nice and comfortable homes. By the way this does not exclude the vice president.
