PEOPLE IN ZAMBIA ARE REALLY HUNGRY AND IN POVERTY. THE FACES OF THE PEOPLE TELL IT ALL!

  if you climb the tree never insult the ground, or insult a crocodile while your legs are in water.You might be doing fine but never laugh at another person God is not a respecter of man

  consistency requires that you compare the same faces with those captured during AFCOM championship celebrations.

Nice to see Sata detach from the past…where a president stands at attention forever…We also need to move from this communist way of celebrating-cutting off classes for students so that they can learn how to ‘match’ for the leader…Pic 19, even if i have long been gone from home i still think that uniform belongs to chi para and not an air force officer!

Pic 13 now that bokosi looks inviting.I hope even her face matches her morphology.

Science question:- Is it possible for a neck of a person’s neck to grow bigger in diameter than the size of his head? Answer is no Pic 8….. lol.

Picture 3, Mr Sata is very smart, the first lady is doing a commendable job, keep it up

pic 1, thats one serious youth who must have smoked some seriously potent stuff and downed some serious amount of utujilijili

Pic #25: These cadets look like Kapasos (security guards to traditional leaders). In our secondary school days we had very nice cadet uniforms – nice khaki tops and forest green denims.

Afriend of mine told me that you can tell the state of the economy from the condition of people’s shoes, do pictures 10, 16 and 22 confirm this? PIC #13: I’ve looked at this picture again and again trying to see the SKILLS being displayed, but I can confess I haven’t seen any except to imagine those of the person in the middle!!
Ganizani March 16, 2012 At 5:23 pm

Apart from the participants the attendees ware characterized by boys and girls who don’t even voters cards. Hoping they will be eligible to vote in 2016 and won’t be too hungry to hound sata as they did on this day.

Patambala March 16, 2012 At 5:53 pm

ba lt. pic. 16 ati some youths showing off some skills…which skills kuti wonesa matako chabe, anyway the woman is well blended . I rest my case. But pipo in zambia look very hungry , disapointed, weak, disillusioned,confused, whats happening at home kanshi????
Zamule March 16, 2012 At 6:05 pm

This was youth day right? Don’t see much of them. My point being, it looks like it was a political and security function. Can we one day get to where we can have less military personal/ politicians and just ordinary people from all walks of life. This is a day for Zambian youths and not party youths. Make it fun for every zambian.
Distant Drums March 16, 2012 At 6:11 pm

My favourite photo is #6, the pose and the hat quite stylish.
Pic # 12, that ZAF chopper doesn’t look healthy at all.
GUNDIX March 16, 2012 At 6:13 pm

To the Government, can you please see the Boots our boys and girls are wearing in pictures 10, 21 & 24?

You must buy them new boots. In my days as a School Cadet, we used to wear brand new boots, all the same – not some high heeled, and others kaya.

Chifita no Mano March 17, 2012 At 2:19 am

Just remind me of Chizmetal days. As an LT for chizz contigent. We were smart ass.
- Me March 17, 2012 At 2:35 am
  
  Iwe wenze pa chizz metal but you really dissapoint me with your anti-black man stereotype, what happened to you?
  
  Ine ndine veteran, your ancestor from 1991 chiz metal….please i beg you, with that attitude you will never make it in oz. i have worked in the UK nearly 10 years now and the way to do it is to consider youself equal to everyone, i beg you bwana, dont ever talk down your own.
Me March 17, 2012 At 2:38 am

Problem with chiz metal, they do not teach social sciences well, too much ‘ma pure’, TD, metal work etc. That type of trash never teaches you to think straight socially…we needed vikwakwa subjects like history, literature etc.
