  1. You don’t even know what it means by “frofile”. I was expecting to hear when she was born, when she started music, what impact her music has brought to our mother zambia, where she lives and what she is doing now.

    Thanks!
    Chair.

  2. Well Done Aunt Maureen, You surely are a blessing to the Zambian music industry and as well your charity work that gives back…. so proud of your music!!!

  3. Hehehe “PROFILE”…. Honestly is this what you call a profile? Ah! Mama Maureen is a Legend therefore I expected to read a lot of stuff here only to find utuma lines tubili…

  4. Is this all you can say about Maureen? Really? Well, at least you have thought of her, and she deserves the attention, but this is an injustice nonetheless. Do some research please. Talk to her. Talk to people who know her, do a proper story.

  5. This is not a profile, we really have a long way to go in terms journalism in Zambia. This is utter nonsense, there is just no way every now and then LT should be exposing their incompetence.

  6. ALL I CAN SAY IS HATS OFF TO LT FOR INITIATING THIS SPACE FOR ZAMBIAN MUSICIAN’S PROFILES. IT IS AN EXCELLENT INITIATIVE- EXPOSING ZAMBIA’S MUSIC FRATERNITY. IT WILL GO A LONG WAY TO IMPROVING MUSIC IN ZAMBIA.
