  2. Those huge machines will be the skeletons that would be left of Zambia if we are not careful with the so called investors. Copper is a finishing product and after a few years of digging, it will be history. We need to get capital from these mines and start other forms of investments! Quite interesting pictures though. Thanks LT!

  4. PIC #29 – FUNNY. ALIFULUNGANA UYU BLOGGER. BUT I AM VERY SAD ABOUT WHAT I JUST READ IN THE POST ABOUT THE CONFESSION OF RUTH MBANDU’S MURDERERS. SO PAINFUL

    • Its really sad…they need a very stiff sentence to the maximum of the law. Justice has to be served. Its painful what they did to her

  6. Pic 23 & 24 That’s all they’re good at travelling to other other countries and enjoying tax payers money. When they come back it’ll be NCP as usual.

    • Find a better pseudonym other than that sentence. Are you challenged by Mushotas comments or you are just jealous of her and her handsome and succesful muzungu husband Nick.

  11. Somebody should have studied the route for these abnormal machines…simple issue of planning…
    My minister of Agric couldnt fit in his work suit…a good sign?!
    Last picture lol!!!

  13. Lack of planning. The mining companies should watch Discovery Channel’s Mega machines, to learn the logistics of transporting huge things… stupid!

  15. The Jackal #2, Copper will be there for the next 100 years at the rate we are mining it. What will change is the cost of extracting the ore with time.

  16. Photos #1-6, 29 Zambia is really primitive with rubbish. How do you take a live chicken in a take away food place?

  21. Do UNZA and CBU students ever have time for their studies, they seem to spend more of their time and energy having street battles with the police. I feel sorry for their parents.

  24. MORE DUST WILL BE RAISED NOW- BEST SOLUTION IS TO THROW LITTER IN BINS WHICH ARE REGULARLY EMPTIED BY THE COUNCIL OR CONTRACTED COMPANIES.

  25. Chief mununga he he he he he. When I was young, I used to hear of too much witchcraft in that chiefdom. People would even swear that ” nkakwila kwamununga” when offereded

  27. LT those are heading to Katanga province DRC not Copperbelt.There are just passing through Zambia thus damaging roads and also not forgetting the man hours lost for those who were caught in the traffic congestion as a result.We need to deviate this kind/ type of traffic away from the busy central business trading area roads.Just there in JHB this kind of traffic you will never see them near town.Please town planners come up with special routes for heavy duty trucks about some 10-20 kilometers away from any central business trading areas to avoid unnecessary traffic congestion and delays. 

  29. Pic# 29 We may laugh at the picture but the bigger story is lost.That story is the risks of heart attacks and obesity if we start to embrace such fast food culture.

  30. Is humanism week back in zed #20 and 21
    ?i remember those day in the 80s when we used to go to clean the compounds,roads i only loved it when they sent us to zambeef by then it was called kyindu butchery ha we used to enjoy the dry salam and hungarian sausages.and we dont to sit in class for a week i loved it.

  32. Nice pictures,but njipusheko,why is it that Bamuka late Manjata,Bamuka minister of finance (mrs chikwanda),Ba first Ladie(christine kaseba) ala abakashana aba balemoneka bwino elyo abalume babo balemoneka abakote ninshi whyyyyy?

  33. Ba Lusaka Times PLEASE you are embarrassing us. Picture 16. What the hell is a “pole” bearer? Check these things. They are called PALL BEARERS

  35. pic 11 & 12; is it necessary to bring abana ku parliament especially kids that young? what are they going to benefit from attending the session?

  37. Pic.8. After several attempts in the past at correcting LT’s wrong identification of this royal couch, I’ll try again. It’s not a HAMMOCK as you like calling it. A hammock normally hangs between two trees. This is called a PALANQUIN. Hey LT, for once stop being so impervious to correction.

  38. Point of correction
    Pic 1 to 5 White Hose Hitachi Machines are now on site at KANSANSHI Mine North-Western Solwezi not copperbelt as stated above.
