  1. bush must tell Zedian women to stop inserting stuff ‘mankwala’ in their private parts some of the stuff they put is harmful.. but those women do that believing they will ‘taste sweet’ when haveing sex…

  2. Mukame #1, you can fight ANYTHING! You just have to know what tools to use and how formidable the enemy is…

  3. Bush doesn’t want to shake hands with camcer survivors skin -to-skin sure! Give him gloves mwe bantu, instead of him holding the women’s sleeves.

  4. Bush arrives in Zambia headline was full of weird comments. What about those theories guys?

  5. Twatasha Mwe Lesa for allowing this good man and his wife to work in Zambia. Zambians must be happy to have them (Bush family) there. 

  6. Lusaka times reporters are a dsgrace. Get your facts straight. The man introducing Bush is Dr Groesbeck Parham, a cancer specialists from Alabama and working at UTH, He is not Dr Kwame.

    • Actaully Dr. Parham is more correct!! Prof just means he is a lecture who has achieved tenure in America. Its a bit different than the classification of prof. say in Zambia or U.K.

  7. Fighting Cancer along the line of rail? not Zambia of course! i know its bad in Kalingalinga and Ngungu but its worse here (third world).

  8. George W. Bush must be arrested immediately for having sanctioned the killing of millions of Iraq, and many others like the way Charles Tailor has been arrested and now is serving a sentence for his crimes.This must happen to him, and not hiding in the hiv aids and cancer for women, no!

  9. Animal farm…you killed americans and today ati u a fighting cancer hehehe…and am sure you heard we ve uranium deposits…mbala iweee

  10. Animal farm…you killed iraqis and today ati u a fighting cancer hehehe…and am sure you heard we ve uranium deposits in zed…… to be frank i dont trust this niga

  11. #14 lewis,

    We Mbwa we!

    Did you go as an illegal alien where you are? Most ignorant people in developed world who are not integrated where they have gone, is as a result of ignorance about their rights and assertiveness!

    George Bush never did a wrong thing purposely but he was fighting terrorists in Iraq!

    There is a difference between Charles Taylor and George Bush!

    Charles Taylor killed and maimed innocent Sierra Leone people to get DIAMOND for personal greediness and wealthy.

    While George Bush went to Iraq with the support of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait (which Saddam invaded) and other Arab countries in the Middle East.

    Right now, Arabs in the middle East are crying for the USA help them take out Bashar. In case the USA and Europe go into Syria would blame them when they are being begged to help?

    African needs help in fighting terrorists in Somalia, and the USA has been significantly supportive:>would you condemn this help Africa is getting from the USA?

    You Moron Chimpanzee!

  14. Bush is a great man! I have never heard him talking bad about Obama. Always when asked by reporters George Bush just says, “President Obama has more critics than me.”

    What a Statesmanship of George Bush!

  15. Pipo check properly theres no way Tata wankashi Bushi would be frequenting our country like this, he must be after something. OIL. This honey must have been discovered somewhere and he wants his companies CALTEX to win the tenders. Ilyo akalanda tukafilwa ukukana pantu tu kebukisha inama twalya na shiteke wamuli campa twalya

  16. this guy sits on the advisory board of barick gold (owners of lumwana mine). hes here to check on his investment and using the fight against cancer and HIV as a smoke screen.
