  1. Terrible camera, my Iphone 6, which is not yet out in the UK has a 13 megapixel and would have shown this pictures much better

    I think these pictures depicts suffering to the core, I love Zambia but how on earth would someone go back there and leave these streets here in Glasgow?

    Thanks

  2. Congrats Engineer Tom Kamwendo of the love city of Kitwe. 25 years mu marriage! Wish you another 25. Manje ba Jack Shuma ku malambo, chioneka monga bali pa firing squad and on his knees begging for his life.

  3. In picture 8, is not clear if you are talking about the late Kapwepwe or Natasha being Dead. You probably mean’t the former Natasha is probably still alive. Good pictures.

    • ichisungu mdala chali shupa,thats why we insist on us reverting to our own languages. Language development failure means wasted time in reading articles,books, scientific journals, papers etc because it needs rereading the same line twice or more to understand what is being talked about. ninshi in the mean time the same paper or journal is being read by a native speaker (english say) and they grasp the idea being transmitted in the paper and they go on to implement or start experimenting with the idea. then we wonder why we are ever lagging behind. Man know thyself and take pride in your culture.

  4. South africa is very clean, you zambian leader who move around, dont you feeel ashamed that our country is so dirty??? Me i feel ashamed to talk about let alone invite someone to zambia

  5. Always good to see old KK in the pics. Chiluba regime really spoiled this man’s reputation labeling him as a dictator. He deserves respect.
    Dr. Kaseba – busy as usual. I noticed she’s wearing the same dress for the wedding ceremony & the wedding anniversary function.

    • yeah she handled all those events on the same day, the 14th of december and as usual thomas Nsama was busy alekopa. alelilapo umunyamata,too bad it wont last long.

    • @ Trigger – You’ve so much hatred in your heart & a huge appetite for vengeance. I should also ask you, are u a christian?

  6. Bricklayer go back to English school and listen carefully to the teacher next time instead of speaking bemba to your friends during lessons. There is nothing wrong with the picture number 8 sentence. As for ka Mushota who keeps bragging about her white man, just look at Natasha’s wedding photos, that’s what you call a wedding. i believe your man doesn’t want to spend much on your wedding, if it will ever happen, so be prepared to use a second hand net curtain as your veil plus salaula shoes and underwear. Mambala you are so right, Zambia is such a tip and these government muppets refuse to see it because the live in the ministers area which is clean, Hats off to the South Africans Mandela’s funeral was very well orgainised from start to finish, minus the interpreter clown, congrats…

  7. Nomba ninshi, ba mrs sata, when does she service her husband……she is minister of health who moves all over delivering speeches and getting certificates and now she is matron, a role which involves rehearsals…mama go service your hubby, that is why he looks bitter pa menso!!

  8. I wish these candidate could knell even after becoming MPs… This kind of behavior is a total deceit to the electorate…Why should these chaps be knelling now, whats the interpretation of this???????????

  9. Yaba chi shibwinga ububi, ukwina, bushe ukwina chisuma? awe amalwele teti yaku panye, high blood pressure Zambians must learn to eat less fat , it is not good for your health, should loose weight before you die of obesity learn to a ma keep fit

  10. The crazy man from mpika never ever smiles and that gloom is starting to seep and metamorphose to gloom in our economy,rule of law and inter tribal harmony.

  11. Glad to see KK being recognized for his role but i think LT should have made this “weekend in pictures” more about Mandela.

  12. Picture 14 Charles Zulu visiting his rural constituency dressed in a suit. How does one relate to poor rural villagers dressed up like that?

  13. @ trigger- My friend please give examples of what KK did that offends you. Dont just preach hatred for the man without facts. Let the man enjoy his recognition for the good he did for Zambia and the whole southern african region. Was he perfect? Nope but who was and who is?

  14. …mama go service your hubby, that is why he looks bitter pa menso!! YABA, WANDEPULA MAMBALA, THERE IS NOTHING TO SERVICE. FLAT BATTERIES KULI MUDALA. KUMWAFWA CHABE.

    ELYO UBUSALI PA ZED BWACHILAMO ESPECIALLY AMA VENDORS, ITS RERRIBLE.

  15. @ Trigger – Why burden your heart with so much hatred for old KK. He’s only human he made mistakes and also did many good things during his reign. Even Mandela himself admits that he was not perfect. Unless yourself you claim to be an angel, blogging somewhere from the clouds, then you can cast that stone at KK. Let’s emulate other countries that respect their former rulers. Look at the USA, even our neighbour RSA. MUCHINJE!
