  Great picture & wonderful ceremony. Sad though that even such grand ceremonies appear so cheap, KK had a lot of respect for this kind of thing. These other politicians see the great chief as just a vote churning machine.

  Chi Mushota, be proud of who you are. Anyway you can f.off for all we care fwebena Lubemba.

  Pic 10 – Is that weave on the Queen’s head. What a shame!

  I hate picking on women but the wife to the Chitimukulu needs a lesson in public behaviour. Her posture and body language kwati ni na chisungu! Lady please straighten up and smile properly. And is that goat hair on top of her head?

  Am not one to pick on women but ba Queen needs a lesson on how to conduct herself in public. Her posture and body language kwati ni na chisungu! Lady pick your head up and smile. And is that goat hair on top of her head?

  You are a slave in Scotland and a very low class bitch who has nothing to do. I doubt you are even a girl. You must be a man. Twisted bored psychopath. You make me puke!!!!

  The Ngonis are poachers, look so many animal skins/fur on them. With Bembas only Chitimukula has a crocodile kin.

The Ngoni warriors stole the show. Bembas have no soldiers
The Observer August 6, 2015 At 5:21 pm

Mwinelubemba must have been sweating in that attire mwa! Not very impressive pictures, kalibalika saana ninshi?
Wanzelulogy- The study of Wanzelu August 6, 2015 At 5:44 pm

At least Nkosi yama Koswe was also in attendance. Wonder why you guys didnt show Mukuni in his Limoousine. It was spectacular. But zoona how do You cover 1340kms in a limousine? Thought it was meant for plomb
Kasaka August 6, 2015 At 6:16 pm

Come on fellow Bembas. You mean we cannot find an alternative to ifilundu? It is too hot to dress Mwine Lubemba in that attire. And what is that on the Queen’s head? Where is the attire for the Queen Mothers? Chansoni sana bane.

How many wives has the Chitimukulu because this one looks way too young for his age.

Pic 13 & 20
You Bemba chaps!!! Is that a crocodile’s skin The Chief is parading in? Lets hope he is not a poacher. Bamanga ka….
bobo August 6, 2015 At 10:38 pm

but eeheee, pic 20, who was smelling ? i have seen someone with a torn jacket blocking his nose. Am bemba but i i have noticed serious poverty in the pictures . I take it this was a very important occasion and people were in their best attires but if that was the best,Mmmmm kaya
Ba Mwine August 7, 2015 At 2:53 am

Tumfwiti munapaya Sata imwe bakolwe. I have no doubt in my mind these fools are behind Sata’s death RIP Cobra. Mwinelubemba wachiyani!
ray_ray August 7, 2015 At 5:39 am

Why do people loook really sad? no one is smiling,. is it a sign of bad things in the inside, only president is smiling because he is definitely eating. This is an amazing ceremony, we need more funding for this, its magnitude seems to be shrinking yearly…GBM sit properly, ala!
Alehandra August 7, 2015 At 5:40 am

Never Mumba being a pastor is not showing a good exaple by bowing down to a human being. I thought we should only bow down to God
Enka August 7, 2015 At 6:54 am

That robe that’s made of skin worn by chitumukulu looks pretty dirty.

Yikes !
Nyau August 7, 2015 At 11:49 pm

It’s too late. I can never erase that sad image from my mind. I already saw picture no.1 where that reverend-politician Nevers Mumba is doing God-knows-what down on his belly. A grown man like that sure. I really wish I’d not seen that pitiful spectacle.
Nyau August 8, 2015 At 12:04 am

ba LT, point of correction. In pic no.16 that man in a suit and over-sized tie wearing a funny hat, that’s not Mpezeni. Why are you crowning the wrong people with the ngoni chiefdom? Mpezeni is an idiót but he’s our idiót, so please show some respect
Jeff Mwanza August 9, 2015 At 2:04 pm

Mushota has nailed it on the head.. the pictures depict nothing but poverty stricken people.. what a shame bane…. even the chief himself looks very under nourished…is this Zambia in the 21st century sure?????
Mundetele August 11, 2015 At 3:46 pm

So the chief must be fat and overflowing like GBM? Nosense, the Paramount Chief is healthy and a great believer in eating paleo food. He is not just Chitimukulu, he is the king of the Bemba speaking people of Zambia. The colonialists didn’t want to call anybody king so they derived a derogatory term paramount chief, Litunga, Nkosi yama Nkhosi, etc. All these are just native names for their kings.
Ukusefya Pa Ngw’ena was not as should have been due to lack of coordination by the new organising committee after missing the same for the last 2 years. The installation of Mwine Lubemba is done and the next ceremony will be better organised.
Salibe kwisano!
Mundetele August 11, 2015 At 3:49 pm

Mwinelubemba afwele umukupo wakalamo ne ngw’ena pamulu!
Maverick August 13, 2015 At 3:01 pm

Sad to say but Mushota is actually right on this one, albeit she could have used a more civil language.

As for thet traditional ceremony itself, sorry Bembas but this pales in comparison to what happens even yearly at my people’s Barotseland, the Kuomboka. Such a once in a generation ceremony, I expected to see a blast, if not in tradition only. Even my marriage ceremony to my Bemba wife appeared much more colourful and lively than this. Sorry but I can’t see tradition here. Go to Barotseland and see real tradition. Unless it’s just a matter of poorc camera photography.

By the way was the Litunga in attendance? Then why wasn’t he shown in the pictures… that would have been a better propaganda theme for both sides to calm down often fraught relationship between Bembas…
