  1. I always like your pictures but here is a suggestion.Can you atleast identify the people in the pictures and if you cant, just leave it blank and quit saying, unidentified, so and so..

  2. The advantage of having LT we get to see home on the pictures of the weekend and week. Though RB annoys us we get to see his durt and that of his cheerleaders. They are all just one bootlicking session from wearing kilts oops I mean skirts. LT can you get other sponsors the republican propaganda is itching my eyes lol. I am Christian and know the GOP is a sham.

  3. Back to the matter at hand, why was former president Kaunda at the opening. My bet bet is our parents taxes paid for his trip and all the festivities. Great that my grand parents former source of income shall produce copper once more.

  4. Im curious as to whether the Chinese investment in Luanshya copper mine is by th Chinese government or by the a private Chinese company. I ask because I find it strange than the Chinese flag is so prominent at these photos.

  5. Mwenya like Americans the Chinese too love their flag. It’s a super power thing ba Ika Ma flag kuli konse napama motoka. Ba LT ne mbasela ama photo twatashya. Brethren and sistren let’s thank LT because not even the post allows us this much critic freedom.

  6. Nice Pics Ba LT..

    Whats the stage of development at the Morden Stadium in NDOLA..? Any pictures or are u still busy
    snapping unidentified characters

  7. #5 Rupiah Banda dressing is pathetic. Why dressing like a farmer in the field when he is supposed to be on official duty. Even the Chinese are better dressed in #8.
    Come on mudala, Thandiwe heard our comments and has improved, so its your turn now.

  8. RB and his chief bootlicker Gen Nkunda dishing out govt money. I wonder if they didnt steal for themselves.
    ba LT, show us the ndola stadium kabili.

  9. Pic #13, The president is so fond of dishing out cash to cadres, doesn’t he see anything wrong with that? He is mistaken if he thinks that will buy him popularity, it’s simply demeaning and degrading. Please stop it!

  10. #6 Good observation about the post! I also wonder why the Post doesn’t allow that much critiq freedom with all their talk about media freedom.Someone should remind them to practice what they preach.Keep it up LT and perhaps LT Editor should as well start publishing his opinion column!

  11. Good business pictures.

    Can’t blame the Chinese for putting their mouths where the money is, can you? We need to realise that the earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof – so if God gave us fertile ground but we fail to cultivate it, He will allow someone else to enter our fields and do it for us. Having done that, the foreign labourer (investor) will now be the rich reaper, who will get the harvest and feed us from our own garden.

  12. Nice Pic LT. #6 and 13,The Post are greedy.They keep the freedom to themselves. And they cant allow us castigate them the way we do to LT.LT are genuine media liberals and they dont brag abt it.

  13. pic1 .I think i have learnt something from LT. what they have called “rock ban” is what was popularly known as “loco banzi or kampompo” funny.

  14. The Post is not a newspaper to provide a platform for all views. It is just an ANTI-Rupiah Banda propaganda media, that is all. No one with a different opinion is allowed space.

  15. Reporter Pic#1 please check your grammar,it’s not “rock ban” i know you pronunce it ‘loco banzi’ just say “a pie”.Zambians,the Chinese way of doing business is they are being accepted by the leadership so all your cries fall on deaf ears,it’s either you join or die on the side,the choice is yours.our economy is so tiny that we could not even stand against them,so as i said join them or die,last time i checked the worlds’ advanced econmies had step up shop in China,for me thats the way to go,considering their economy is growing……

  16. Those aren’t bad pictures. Our people are looking good and happy for the new road and mine in Luanshya. The police sleeping is a disgrace to Zambian home affairs. He should be fired immediately. A republican sleeping on duty is not acceptable.

  17. may that police did not have enough to eat they are under paid, no he should not be fired he may have a family at home do want them to suffer

  18. Good comments on the Post. Freedom of expression is only for them. If you are very anti-RB you will enjoy their “freedom of expression”.

  19. Mwenya you are very welcome, Dob you trully too have seen this. They seem to have their own agenda the post that is, and just like the goverment media they too should be watched.

  20. Nine Chale those are painful words of wisdom. True to the point though, they can plough my fields at my feild because my cousins are lazy.

  21. Sharp Shooter # 16 may the Lord bless you ever more. That is what bloggers here should start advocating for more scrutiny of everyone opposition inclusive.

  22. @ comment No# 15 Nine Chale. What happened to being the caretakers of the Earth like God said us to be? The Chinese have one of the worst conservation records and one of the highest pollution rates on Earth. Zambia on the other hand has the lowest human to land ratio on Earth and we still have all our animals…that says alot. I’m not berating the Chinese, they’re very business savy and have helped our economy alot but we as Africans should cherish what makes us US! We shouldn’t conform to the capitalist driven Eurocentric lifestyle, we should develop on our own terms…
