  1. Pic # 9 Mother and son
    # 10 Father and daugther
    # 13 Ibila
    #17 Nice to see KK and Kafupi smilling
    # 20 Congrats Gen Chinkuli

  2. Ba LT last pic mwatila “an assortment of drinks which he filled in bottles for mineral water ”

    Who is he not to take any from State house after chaps with biliions are walking free…matter of fact chaps were roaming state house grounds eating cake and smiling when that have robbed more than those plain ice cubes. Give a brutha some slack those are just ice cubes…pale zizila sure. LT you claim he filled bottles with drinks…we can only see ONE BOTTLE and who knows those liquids are the original contents in the bottle? What did you want he to do throws the ice cubes away? Maybe ilibe cold box munthu or he was given by Nemo!

  3. Politicians today are actors they predend to be enemies,but behind the scenes they are friends.It’s like watching WWE Wrestling.Fake!!

  4. Last picture…typical of us lol…Hopefully those ice blocks stayed frozen by the time he got home.Good to see KK and Kafupi chatting really.It shows the maturity of Zambians.We can bury our differences and unite for a common good.

  5. Times are really tough for FTJ what happened to the bespoke italian cut suits ? You know it’s a recession when FTJ is wearing an oversized chopper retro suit. RB looking very dapper and distinguished

  6. Pasa Ulemu-Thandiwe seems not very comfortable watching dancers with her beloved husband. They should have done better than in the picture. Where is Dora?

  7. Nomba ifi Chiluba and the wife bapusana height sure..i cant imagine when its time for fimo fimo…..On a serious note.. Thank you for fighting for our freedom, we wouldnt be here so free to even blog if it wasnt for you.. RESPECT!

  8. I thought Regina was in prison. She looks good for a convicted thief though. TB wearing one outfit the 2nd time as a public figure really doesn’t cut it and lastly I will continue with my smiling campaign for (now) both TB and RB. HAPPY FREEDOM DAY ZAMBIA

  9. KA’DOYO i thought i was the only one to notice tht chitenge suit,i think its my third time seeing it on her body n in public.Hasnt she any fashion advisors? Fashion Police please visit our First Lady…

  10. I we # 19. Umwaumo tachepa. Sure Ka Chiluba does the job very well during fimo-fimo. Regina is always smiling an indication that she is satisfied ro the brim.

  11. Nice pics LT, congrats to our former ambassador to Germany Gen. Kingsley Chinkuli !On the other hand,it is good that, despite their perceived differences, Super Ken and FTJ kafupi can still share a light moment.

    Prof Lungwangwa alebikapo ama coins, lol

  12. I hear Ka Hefty Jay if he has to kiss regina in the standing position kalaninako pali stool lol!
    Super Ken Mudala aliba fir mwee!!
    Nemo na balume balipalana imilomo. But thats to be expected ngaulekissinga sana abakote you end looking like you are about to puke. In pic 10 Ba Presido looks like nabalwala mumala. Someone should give him imodium lol!!

  13. The General Kingsley Chinkuli deserves the honour. This man has been a soldier through and through. Even as a politician and diplomat he has served with honour and integrity. During his watch our defence forces faced the toughest challenge against the enemy but we held our own. He should have been promoted to Field Marshal. It is good that he is the only FULL General Zambia ever had, if I am not mistaken!
    On a sad note I don’t like the body language between RB and TB. There is a big gap between them. Is it a generation gap??? (forgive the pun) I love them both, really!

  14. nice pics –
    Lots of fun at state house for the haves and have mores, the have nots are out in the dust.

  15. #10.mmmm.Some marriages.When RB will be in his 80s,TB will be in her 40s.eeeeeee.Anyway he’ll have someone to nurse him in his old age.Awe sure…love trully

  16. Thandiwe had to appear in mukule and a chitenge we are tired of seeing, who is responsible for dressing this girl in her capacity as First lady kanshi?! Look at chi Regina, nachi samba over…yah, RB and TB they dont look like they are in love, nangu limbi its the dances they were watching…look at Thandie’s lips…LOL!

  17. ukanikana Tb nizaesako mankwala, chikondi changa paliwewo chaniyambakudala. i remember those days baby nenze kulizila mumfyoli thwithwi.

  18. The slices of cake are too big. Many went there without a bite!!! This cake business is definitely not necessary. I suppose it gives business to the Taj.

  19. Super Ken ni zeeeee! This man is legendary. Abena FJT look tired of life and living compared to Super Ken. Careful mwaice wachepa sana…

  20. Hhehhehhehhe on the last picture. Typical of the Zambian mentality after the Chiluba (and Sata) GRZ of 1991 to 2001.
    ___
    Prevention is better than cure.

  21. It’s not the looks of Thandie’s body but how she cares it, that makes her beautiful.
    It’s not the size of Regina’s body but her portion of love to FTJ that makes them both happy.

  22. iyee ba TB naimwe wasebanya! how can u show off the same outfit at such short interval?

    baRegina nabasamba, kwati ebafirst lady shuwa.

  23. i thought i was the only one who recognised that thandiwe wore the same outfit twice!!!!!!! ma minister making it rain ka! ballin!!!

  24. One day Ba TB bakacha you will all be surprised. That will be the time when RB will start getting worried ….

  25. Thats the first lady’s favorite outfit naimwe please, don’t we all have favorite clothes that we wear so often than others?

    As for chiluba with the bigger women, thats how he makes up for his 4’9” height. Usually men prefer women that are shorter than them, but since he is too short, he has to do it the opposite way, i like his thinking.

  26. #40 NINE CHALE for the first time let me differ with you. Can you compare chi Regina chi Duvet to that kama spring bed ka TB ? Ba Regina nabo nabasambilila ukufwale utusapato twa ma colours ma colours. Lelo twa green ka. FTJ looks much better

  27. Pic # 8, Ba Chiluba ka trousers is too long, ngabali bafwikako galagata so that the toloshi does not touch the ground.

  28. #50 @ shani Ba Maureen? Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, tamwaunfwa po?
    We cannot all ride Mercedes. Some prefer BMW while others will go for Mazda but they’re all beautiful cars which serve the same purpose, are’nt they? Forgive me for being too metaphoric. Lol.

  29. imwe plizi where is amai DR Maureen Mwanawasa. iye kodi ndiye umoyo uyu ABwezani. children in class when asked who is the first lady shutted Maureen Mwanawasa. the teacher said nanga Thandiwe they replied ni amai nyama soya. so maureen needs the recognition elyo che simungamupite ba TB. but che chi Regina ni bama mabloggers. or Meastro no words alizi aleta khani ya Sata. I know him bwino this Mwaanga nakhani yama sketi Maestro imamupaya. or mulungu aziba thats why ana mupatsa sabata to cover up. si wansabata mubozi

  30. When I first saw the first lady, I thought I was seeing the photo of her at the airport, cause I did see her in that same bably tailored chitenge. Check out the cut on her sleeves. If you are in the public eye you do not where same things at functions as important as these.

    And the forever mukule… pliz!!!!!!

  31. Pic # 5 + 9. You can see by dressing and sitting position that RC is dreaming she’ll be first lady and show TB how its done.

  32. Nothing wrong in wearing the same outfit twice, but if you are the first lady and you are officially bound to attend and represent the country you have to be presentable and show some class, i think its unacceptable that she wear it again, within such a small period, i am ashamed..

  33. Nice Pics Ba L.T.
    Chi Regina chashaina…. basamba maningi lomba…
    I dont know why TB cant go for such suits…she would be ‘more’ presentable.One wonders why she cant change colours of this Chitenge suit if she adores it so much to repeatedly and often wear it .

  34. Awe shuwa ba first lady na ba Regina the difference is too big, ba mukule na out fit please. Bushe thats the tradition people are to follow. Olo ni being traditional. She needs to look at Obama’s wife and use that as a roll model.

  35. Try as I may, I can never get used to Kafupi’s midget size. Now that he’s been assured safety and security by baba Banda, kafupi looks like a carefree kaponya. Even those expensive suits don’t do him any good.

  36. Tremendous things here. I’m very glad to see your post. Thanks so much and I am taking a look ahead to contact you. Will you kindly drop me a e-mail?
