Katumbi Supports the Mwanawasa Bridge Naming

Share

Katanga Province Governor, Moses Katumbi says he supports calls for the Chembe bridge to be named after President Levy Mwanawasa.

Mr. Katumbi has commended the Zambian leader for his initiative to put up a bridge at Chembe between Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

He also said he has sanctioned the Zambian government to tar the pedicle road.

Mr. Katumbi says his tour of the road and Chembe Bridge is a demonstration of his country’s commitment to working with the Zambian government on various aspects of development.

He was speaking in an interview with Journalists shortly after a delegation meeting between the Zambian and Congolese authorities.

And Works and Supply Deputy Minister, Mundia Ndalamei commended the DRC governor for allowing the Zambian government to tar the pedicle road.

Mr. Ndalamei disclosed that issues that have been discussed with Congolese authorities will be tabled before the Zambian government before entering a Memorandum of Understanding.

  1. Hmmmm……….This has become a joke now.Since when did criminal foreigners start commenting on domestic issues.
    Katumbi Zwaaa!

  2. wanzelu ulichiwelele wele sana. who told you that Hon Moise Katumbi is a criminal element. uleke ukutumpa Chika””.

  3. BIG QUESTION: WHY IS THE ZAMBIAN GOVT MAKING DEALS WITH A GOVERNOR OF A PROVINCE INSTEAD OF CABINET MEMBERS OF KABILA’S GOVT. IS KATANGA PROVINCE NOW A SOVEREIGN STATE?

  4. # 2 nice observation
    NOw guys lets just be a little honnest with ourselves here!
    how embarrasing is it for a man to have such cars in a country where some pipo are dying of starvation? No social morality here
    These guys are an embarrasement to Africa

  5. #9 work hard and buy yours it is not too hard! the guy is just like you, i think you are little bit jealous.

  6. #9 the dude gat the money he can spend it the way he wants, what bout the likes of bill gates he makes money everytime his heart beats but some americans are in poverty…..

  7. 15, or steady progress!!!! We’ll name the bridge after him once he dies. Hope no body objects, hey, I’m just thinking aloud.

  8. When did Katumbi cross the bridge from villain to ally?

    These are the long effects of colonization. We think anybody outside Zambia is better than us. Giving power to imperialists.

  9. I have relatives who have had major BP problems in Zambia for many years and local doctors easily take care of them and monitor their health.

    Why can’t FTJ go to UTH too, his trial is about to resume and again he has applied to go to South Africa because his BP is up. What a joke!

  10. Congo DR is a modeled after the American system. A governor is similar to head of state in both Congo DR and USA. The only deference is that a USA Governor seems more powerful because of abundant financial and human resources. Both Governors are however not entailed to get involved in Military and Foreign Policies.In the case of Katumbi and Provincial minister they comments on foreign policy as a members of the Congo-Zambia Joint Commission.

  11. #21 in theory you are right, practically the DRC cannot be compared to the USA, it’s not democratic at all and Katumbi (who got the job through bankrolling Kabila and group with his brother Katoto) can be ousted by Kabila anytime if he had big ideas. Bush can’t oust an elected governor or mayor.

  12. Dante:
    Sweet Mother is actually right. DRC functions on more of a Federation just like the USA does. A governor of a province cannot be replaced by the central government. Katumbi therefore is the Executive head of Katanga, and his cabinet looks into Katangese affairs. The only issues the governor can’t work on are military and foreign affairs in as much they have to do with DRC as a nation, but if the issues have to do only with Katanga the Governor does have authority. A model we can adopt in Zambia as well.

  13. pimping rides.. thats wassup..
    but for real its like we always dealin with Katumbi and now he is govts. best friend.. these dealings should stop, how can we now trust him so much after settling out of court??
    its evident he is a business man of note and uses his political standing to enhance his business affairs, not a wise man to mix with.
    and with the naming issue., who cares what its named.. whats in a name? personally im just glad its infrastructure being built, and could not care less what its named.

  14. #23 I didn’t say sweetmother was wrong, I said in theory she is right. Trust me what you are saying are just written laws, if he was to become Kabila’s enemy the central government will just come and send him packing through one way on another. The crux of my point is that the DRC is not democratic, these are all players on one team!

  15. I cant agree mo wit ESK, let them name it after th big man if hiz kicked th bucket. Most stractures r named after th dead . But th best is th current CHEMBE name. I dont c anything wrong wit tht name . If they want 2 sound mo creative let them call it ZACO bridge i.e Zambha-Congo bridge after all it is a 50:50 joint funded project wit DRC. Guyz who this Mundha Ndalameni guy? Where is govt these guyz 4om?

  16. Next week all of our presidents will be in foreign hospitals with the exception of KK (the oldest) does that tell us something?

  17. Why and how is this guy so prominent in Zambian news? I mean, we all know he got over his cases easily, but does he have to rub it in? Like it or not he’s a plunderer, pardoned, but still a plunderer. Government needs to disassociate from this guy. I don’t think this relationship paints a good picture of an administration trying to rid itself of the scourge of corruption.

  18. Zambias,be careful with katumbi!!The man has now too much influence in zambian politics.it’s looks like the govt is worshiping him.we all know the boy has $,so anythin can happen when it comes 2 $.
    he can buy zambia seeing tht our politicians like $ .
    well,let us now come to the naming of a bridge after lmp. i think it’s better we give it a another name.if lpm wants to be popular let him build smtg like university,hospital,library or a secondary school using his $ .Tht’s what other politicians do who believe in democracy.u can’t name somethin’after u using govt $.it’s not UNIP time bane.
    meanwhile, if smtg bad happens to lpm we can think about it later.so far it’s a big no!

  19. Personal issues aside, isnt this good for the country? we need to put development issues above jealousies and past ‘accusations’ the US had to deal with Japan and Germany after the world war because it was in their interest to do so.

  20. what democracy can anyone talk about in africa? DRC system is howerver working. we do not have it in Z. all decisions are made in Lusaka. I urge Dante to listen to sweet mother. The DRC system is definitly working. By the way, there are peolpe with bigger cars here than those seen with Moses. Why worry. Work hard

  21. #9 if you were rich in a poor country, Are you saying you will use all your money helping out the poor,just because people are dying of starvation and not first take care of yourself? Thats a big lie my friend. The guy works hard for his money or whatever you can call it. let him and his family enjoy it, his got the right to buy whatever he wants. All I can read on your comments is Jealousy, which is the root of evil.

  22. Well the fact is noone would listen to me if I went to Britain and told them to name a road after Kaunda or Chief Kazembe or the Nalikwanda. I am simply not a British citizen. I should suggest such things for structures inside the boundary of my country full stop.

  23. All ill informed bloggers like No 34. Chembe bridge is NOT in Zambia. The fact that Katumbi has agreed to the name is a great honour. otherwise DRC has the wright to object to the name. Katumbi has full wright to comment. Burry your pride with your british insinuations. Why didn’t you pick the example in Africa?

  24. People, i know this Katumbi guy has got colors, but we dont know for sure that those particular cars in the background are his. He could be in a parking lot. Lol!!

    But being a shody businessman once sort after by the LPM govt, is almost a proverb. VJ was fired over this guy. Nevers was fired over this guy. He was quite bitter with LPM’s accusations. Now to reward the guy who dropped charges on him, he pushes for this bridge issue. SMART ha. Its a little too late I guess LPM not able to appreciate it at the moment or maybe never.

  25. #20 be sensible FTJ is a former presido period.LPM is in France ur relative at UTH coz they haven’t lived in state/h. Presidos desertve the best facilities money can buy.Otherwise work hard.

  26. Northerns are thiefs that causes tribalism,they should also be reported to animal rights group for eating monkeys!.

  27. #39 shut up. Bush goes to hospital in his own country, Brown does the same as well as Mbeki. They heavily invest in health in their countries. Even Kaunda used to go to the UTH and still does. If the chaps you are worshipping need the best meds they should have invested in the sector. Get it right! My point is the doctors in Zambia can easily deal with hypertention cases, no need to go to SA. Look at the tests that Kangwa, FTJ’s doctor, lists that need to be carried out in SA, they are all available in Zambia… hoter ambulatory, blood pressure tests and ambulatory ECG tests. Please!!!!!! The guy is running away from court, period!

  28. #30, rusia_moscow. Ulicikopo mwaiche!!! Walifilwa ukwasuka simple question. Niwe wine wewalelanda ukuti walishiba sana ama Computers. I wonder how Microsoft can look for such a person as you. I am sure if indeed you are a student and studying IT, your fellow students are really surprised and wonder what type of a person you are. One who cannot understand simpe security on internet and yet you claim to know computers!!! You really surprise me. Honestly RSA algorithms!!! Lets be serious bane when we boast of knowing computers!!!

  29. #42 Dante you are right. Ignore *****s who come on here. It is amazing that even people who are in diaspora are saying it`s alright for these people to flee when they are taken ill. Why should a president go to London only for Physio? Amazing really.

    The last time I checked, UTH had not water. *****s like #39 wont see because if they are able to afford then Zed ilice! Even when all they do is steal. Feel sorry for that Continent. Look at a beautiful country Zimbabwe. Luaghed when I saw they have got $100 billion bill!

  30. #41 u look so crazy in yo head my boy!!
    why do like talking about tribalism even if the headline is somethin else?!
    yo point is that northens are monkeys
    u can call northerns monkeys but when it comes to whites all blacks are monkeys.i think u watch what happens to Eto in barcalona.don’t be ignorant in certain issues.yo hh also referend chiluba 2 monkey.
    here the issue is about naming the chembe bridge not eating monkeys.if u have nothin’ 2 offer 2 us better u keep yo month shut.we are all zambians.when u go abroad,u’ll be calld a zambian ,not a bemba or tonga.That’s why we need 2 build zambia!

  31. #43 u’re very childish and stupid.
    i’m not talking about simple algorithms here.iI’ve never even mentioned tht before.i just said i’m a programmer nothin’ else.I did RSA as a practical work in 2n course.
    behave mwaice!we are here to tackle issues not showing ignorance .u know nothin’about computers! do u know what doesn’t RSA mean.? u look so behind in thinking,that’s why yo name is abena copperbelt.u need exposure,maybe try 2 visit south africa. Always u talk nonsense.you’re just a looser looking 4 good life !

  32. #45 You are absolutely correct.If anything people here in the UK think all black people are from Ghana,Nigeria or Zimbabwe.Most of them don’t even know where Zambia is for that matter!If ever I had to mention that I belong to a tribe they would equate me to those bush men from isolated and remote areas who do not even wear any clothes.Unfortunately some of the people on this blog think like that. Shame…

  33. #46 how can u support #43?
    uli wakumushi naiwe.just wait,i’ll be yo teacher soon.
    i’ll give u my link to know who i’m.
    last time i said updates of lpm are done by an adminstrator who is in lusaka.The admin is just given info by govt officials that’s the reason i said u can’t trust state house web site.admin can be forced to write anythin’.the only solutions is to hear from doctors dealing with lpm,not a web site.
    it’s very clear to understand if u’re normal people.Only people with low iq would argue to what i said.

  34. hola chimbwi,i av followed ur tribal stupidity here, but i do conquer wiv u bout zambia not being known , dude am in the midlands and the only closeness our zed is known is south african country kwasila…… so we gat alot of work to mkt zed kuno. tonga bull is my trade mark.

  35. #46 African pride, thank you for that observation. This character in the name of russia_moscow came to boast about being a computer programmer and I gave him a simple programming question in Java which involves public-key cryptography algorithms (RSA Algorithm). The character went for good and has never given the answer. I wonder what he is learning in Russia. I think the government is wasting bc on him. You cant go that far and fail to solve a simple security error involving the Bouncy Castle Provider in java and claim to be a programmer. Ask me for the solution mwaice nalakweba. Wamona nomba ukutila napali efyo waishiba???!!! Being able to trace an IP address is nothing mwaice!!!

  36. Osayambana!!!! just bring out points and facts here. The leaders flying for treatment must invest into UTH so that the whole country can be going there. Not all our people can fly the way they do. Not even themselves can if they were not in leadersship. These fools called leaders should get serious. they are all *****s. How come KK is not doing what they are doing?? alla?? chiputaa! LPM should have been in his stable condition from UTH. We wouldnt have had this information black out going on right now.

  37. You guys showing off your computer skills are being very childish. We talking UTH here not simple programming question in Java which involves public-key cryptography algorithms (RSA Algorithm)Get serious ok. go and sleep if you gat nothing to offer. You dont know how learned the others on this blog are.

  38. #49, russia_moscow, Mwaice dont think that exposure only comes when you go to moscow. Look now, you know nothing in the field you claim to be in. You don’t even know the boundaries of a degree in IT. If you want to run away from a simple java probem and claim to be a serious programmer, then I doubt what you are doing that side. I am convinced you are doing a craft certificate in computers. The basics in computers which are done at high school these days are what you are doing. Please can you just answer my question to prove me wrong. As for what RSA stands for, it stands for Rivest, Shamir, Adleman. These are the people who developed it. Can also answer my question now.

  40. #52 u’re hopeless and useless!
    how could u ask me a school question when the headline was about lmp?shame on u with yo low iq!
    if u wanna me answer yo simple qestion send it to my e-mail not on this blog.simple as that.we are here to offer solutions to zambians. Ansewring stupid Q 1+1 won’t take us anywhere.if you can’t sell yo self here then u won’t go anywhere.
    i think u can’t pass an exam because u can go out of the topic .world is laughing at uuuuuu mambala.

  41. #57 i didn’t even read yo Q.send it mambala.what are u studying?
    don’t forget yo e-mail!mind u i’m not under govt!

  42. #54-Pachulu. I encourage you to just keep quiet. It seems you don’t know where this all coming from. You should learn to follow everything that is written here on this blog, then you will not be ignorant of what is going on.

  43. mwa-ona ka dont kulibosha ta , peeps aint interested in wot u do ? uzasebana poche……. chindi chako , i gat stella artois on my side

  44. Anonymous (5),

    Go build your own with your Kafupi and name it chiluba or go rename the School in Musangu he changed from the UNIP government given after building it in the 70s to naming chiluba primary school after his name..

  45. # 59, russia_moscow. I am not studying anything like I told you. It is out of interest that I did modeling computer networks and did a bit on Simuation Modelling methodoligies (Event driven, Activity scanning, Process interaction), Simulation model Calibration, I also looked at security on networks where I learnt about DES/AES, key distribution, key generation, Cryptographic and hashing agorithms. With my laptop here in Mikomfwa, I have been able to run simulations and build a simulation model of a single server queueing system using discrete-event scheduling simuation paradigm. I am now working on a security java program involving security in e-commerce. I am not exposed!!!

  46. Guys ine kale ngambile uku masturbater my balls are even hurting , i think naliba fye addicted mwandini

  47. #66 umuntu. Nsile mupontela russia_moscow. uyu guy alicilamo. amona kwati fwebaba pano pa Zed tapaba efyo twaishiba kano ena uwaya ku Russia. Instead yakuteya injuka kuno kuminkomfwa ndeshako filya fine ukosoma panono panono ifya ma computers. I’ve done a bit on Multi Protocal Label Switching (MPLS), I am now working on Wireless Mesh Networks and how to extend the communication range and increase the data rate by using more aggrasive modulation techniques such as QAM-64 . I have been thinking of how I can use matlab but I’ll use Network Simuator 2. Normally simulating the physical layer is easier with Matlab but I want to try NS2. I am doing most of this work here in Luanshya.

  48. in tonga we say (direct translation here folks) rain that thunders doesnt fall , means action speaks louder than word.
    safe people.

  49. Katumbi is the next Zambian president because he will be ruling indirectly through his fellow wizard Katele Kalumba.

  50. It is interesting how russia-moscow has changed the tone from being terribly arrogant and insulting to being sensible. I think Abena Copperbelt nabamucita humble nakalya ka question. Abena Copperbelt mwabombeni pakusangula Moscow mwana musuma. Please give him more of those questions maybe he will come down to earth. I have followed your every conversation with him from the time he was boasting to the time mwamulashile naka question akamucitile humble. I am enjoying the drama men. Moscow wiwa te sessional iyo bakulasa nayo.

  51. #70 kamumujisi oyu muntu nkambo ulalibonesha maningi. Ndaciswa mabambo buya kumuseka.Wanyanya matusi, walilwa kuvuwa mubuzyo.

  52. #75 Wakakilwa mulumbu oyu kuvuwa mubuzyo. Tatuko kumuleka pe, tuyanda ikuti asubuke wacindiizya kutukila bantu matusi akulibona ulati nguzyi izyintu alike. Penzi ndyakuti ubona mbulikuti ulalike ucizyi ma Computers, tazyi ikuti tulibanji.

  53. abena cibeni # 77 come on mulombe not kuleka munyama wakatala , they try to show off lets show em we know s**t, badelela basuntwe aba

  54. #75 u #75 u just come here to attack all people who are against HH.u’re not helping zambians on this blog.i’ve been following yo comments very well.I know u don’t like HH to be critised,always u look for somethi’stupid in order to defend yo ignorance.i’ll be always be criticizing HH because he became UPND president through tribalism.tht’s the same tribalism u show here on this blog. if i see something wrong in UPND ,expect me to criticize it.I’m a zambian with full rights to criticize yo president.
    sure,u can’t bring computer stupid Question on this blog.

  55. #79 russsia_moscow. I thought the topic is about the bridge and Katumbi. I am really surprised at how you who claim to follow the topics strictly and hence say that some of us would fail an exam for going off target have also gone off target to bring the HH stories here. hhahaha!!! awe shuwa ala mwebantu nkuntu waseka!!!Bailanga kwati ebaishiba ama computers sana kanshi tapaba nefyo baishiba.

  56. This Sata vs HH is getting on everybody’s nerves.Going by what their supporters think I don’t think their leaders will go far.

  57. #79. russia_moscow, You started the topic of being a guru in computers and told us that you knew more Computers than me. I never brought the topic, it was you who brought it. Now you call what you were proud of as being stupid?? You were saying that you could even trace my IP address and assured me that you knew a lot on computers. I went ahead to seek for help on one programming question which everyone has now known that you failed it. If you are a liar on a simple thing such as your knowledge of computers, how can you be trusted with being objective in your debates here?? Now you want to direct you anger at HH!!! Grow up please mwaice.

  58. I cant agree mo wit ESK. That bridge shud only b named mwansawana if th big man has kicked th bucket. Usually stracturez r named after dead pipo. The best name 4 th bridge remains CHEMBE, I dont c anything wrong wit tht name. If they want b mo creative then let them call it ZACO i.e Zambia -Congo bridge shud b th name . After all thts a 50:50 joint funded project by Zambia & Congo.

  59. Abena copperbelt and Russia_Moscow…..Get serious on this blog…you make people think we too are as childish as you. Why don’t you insult each other through emails?

  60. #86 There is a genesis of this.Abena Russia_moscow banayamba beka kuzinvela.We have been following.But it looks like after realising there knowledge was becoming short changed,they changed the approach.Now lesson Russia like many other Eastern European countries have many sub standard colleges.The Chinese say be careful what you ask for.Redeem yourself dude .Answer the CBU Monks

  61. so you chaps like the car ..the 2004 lincoln navigator 4×4 can hook one up for you chaps only $ 8,987 plus $2,500 for shipping to durban or dar your choice.

  62. I didn’t want to comment on the tribal issues by some fools especially over presidos, let put this correct bembas are not monkeys but very strategic partners to whoever wants to lead zambia democraticaly,bembas have powerful alliances with a lot of tribes in zambia hence the reason it’s widely spoken and accepted. Remember we have also gone 50+1 u will then c how important this group is.

  63. Ba Moscow, you have made my day.I like the change of tone you know.Atleast you are becoming a better person by the day and will even be better if you drop the tribal crap. The argument is about helping your friend who has landed into a computer programming problem considering that Microsoft is after your expertise. Ba monk naba moma ba ZIT okey tulibakali mwilatumwena mo. Twapitile mumaboko yabena Prof. Tailoka tata but twali ilokesha. ha ha ha ha ha yaba.

  64. Great point #27! In fact I would suggest that a clean bill of health should be an important prerequisite for holding office in our country. Secondly, only Zambian Doctors should perform the medical examinations on the aspiring candidate

  65. I have followed the exchanges between Ba Moscow and the Mig’s kid popularly known as Abena Copperbelt. I strongly feel the two chaps a mere buffoons showing off what they think they know. Too much of anything is bad especially if it’s buffoonery. If you chaps want to get intimate get a room and express yourselves to your hearts pleasure.

  66. #91,92 Kwena wansekeshya mudala eee!!! Your name’s got me rocking and clapping my thighs with laughter! Back to ze story..
    But zo ona abena Zed, never knew you were such materialists, I thought you were all humanists? Ukula kumbwa fye imyotoka sha mwine shuwa? I’ve never seen a Hummer rolling on Zambian roads, has any one seen one? Just curious.

  67. I’m really appalled at the ammount of tribal confrontations on this blog. It seems to be escalating day by day. People, really, I kindly appeal to you: let’s unite and move forward as ONE NATION! The cake is big enough and every tribe in Zambia will surely have a piece! The rest is for Moses Katumbi ;).

  68. #102. There are three Hummers on ZED roads, am told. One belongs to the Post Editor.
    Today’s Headlines in the Post. “Unstable BP Hits Chiluba”

  69. KATUMBI AND CHUNGU WERE THE MAJOR FUNDERS OF SATA IN THE GENERAL ELECTIONS OF 2006. SATA HAD PROMISED THEM THAT IF HE WON,ALL THOSE ACCUSED OF PLUNDERING OUR NATIONAL RESOURCES WOULD BE FREED AND ACQUITED BY OUR COURTS OF LAW.

  70. #106, every one knows what Sata is made of and what he is capable of doing. The man has no morals. He is not a Presidential material in my view. Forget about him. His chance passed in 2006.

  71. the only thing that truly holds back zambians from having HUMMERS running around ZED like a Toyota is that Z R A will RAPE you financialy befor your beast of a 4×4 burns rubber on the zambian turf. they dont care how much you paid for it ..at the border you will part away with no less then $30,000 in duties and taxes even then at 30 pin usa you are lucky.

  72. The article I think we were supposed to be blogging on was related to statements made by Katumbi…now its about hummers, and Sata and HH and Bembas and Tongas – for crying outloud!

    I used to wonder why it was so easy for the black man to sell his brothers as slaves – we have no idea what Unity is, and all it takes is a simple look at how even all the so called educated bloggers on this blog have behaved! M utterly disgusted!

  73. #1 u shuold be greeting your friends b4 coments, Bamwine kwows u. how come. today i will not say somehthing. anonym??????. if wrong advise. but how is our LPM.

  74. #111 were your grand parents sold as slave by your there brothers …why you so bitter just join the band wagon this is called democracy .say what you like …do who you like … eat what you like … s*%t where you like… let the people speek out there mind dont be a party pooper ….one more thing #111 F OFF when you like ..

  75. Sansakuwa Kanjangu says: Jul 26th, 2008 at 5:20 am
    It is an astonishing kind of hereditary stupidity that sees Katangese stinkers on both sides of the Luapula river welded to the habit of electing proven thieves into office all the time. Look at Chiluba, Katumbi etc and now Katele Kalumba will be voted for in large numbers by these tailed low life premates of the Ituri forest we have the tragedy of being called neighbours and fellow countrymen to.MANY THANKS SANAKUWA…

  76. maybe I am wrong for following the American politics too closely, and so I am inclined to change my paradigm and hope that the ”democracy” we have decided to copy from the west will bring development and not divisions that dont make sense.

    If ur at home, I apologise for speaking too loudly when I am not, but if u aren’t then #113 shame on you.

  77. #115 now that we ingood books what do you say about a letter of invitation , so mybe come november we could seat back on your big leather couch an sip on munkoyo while watching Obama being sworn in ….what do you say mr big man you can say i am your long lost brother from the other mother.

  78. #114 Sad to hear that your brain in bleached.Has been since you were born or has that been going on for a while?Pity your mother…

  79. 114 Shame that you cannot own the car in the pic.Anyway that explains your bitterness.By the way do you even on a car let alone a bicycle?Or is it just Zafoot?No wonder your brain is bleached for sure!

  80. #114 Did you do History at school? All Zambians came from the Luba Lunda kingdom.Some came early while others came late but we all came from there.Your native language unless you are an alien (from the way you sound)is derived from the Bantu speaking Congo Niger Group.
    Anyway I don’t know why we spend precious times just to pump some sense in some people

  81. Having lived outside Zambia I have come across some white Niggers.For those of you who do not know…the word Nigger means unteachable or those whose mindsets canno change and such people are found all over the world.You can have a white Nigger,Red Nigger or brown Nigger.Unfortunately we have some Black Nigger on this blog who think one tribe is better than the other, as if.

  82. niggers have the lowest IQ and man that’s the truest theory existing we is so dull jus check the way we blog total dunder heads and *****s.

  83. The threads of hatred and isms on this blog are frightening. If such energy could be channelled into more productive avenues maybe we can get somewhere as African but for now the picture is gloomy/depressing.

  84. I find it difficult to appreciate the comment from 123. You should not use the we plural when expressing a peronal opinion because there are others who wouldnt want to be identified with your views.

  85. Here we go again!! Some more buffoonery. What happened to mature, rational discourse. As much as I subscribe to free speech and democracy, I strongly feel that people should be able to discuss issues with reason. Zambia has many issues that need discussing including tribalism. Such should however be discussed rationally so that we can project progressiveness. We should not use this forum and others like it to expose our buffoonery and foolishness at the expense of people who desire meanful dialogue and discourse.

  86. Katangese should not be demonised. DRC is probably the only country Zambia has a surplus trade position/balance with in its favour. Needless to say the trade balance with the rest of the SADC region is negative to our disadvantage. Economics and trade is where our future lies and that means expoliting viable markets. Forget about exporting to Bots, RSA and very soon Zim. Tanzania has deeply eaten away Zambia market share due to the decline in manufacturing on the Copperbelt. Instead of working to reclaim the market share insults and isms are the order of the day. Use your brains creatively;for better things.

  87. We share the longest border line with DRC. I think logic dictates that we do more trade with DRC. Due to the length of the borderline Congelese and Zambians have more routes to access each others markets. Economies of provinces like Luapula, Northwestern and indeed the Copperbelt are highly related to the Congolese market. If Congo is an evil, then its an evil we canot do without.

  88. THIS GUY IS BLESSED AND HE IS VERY RICH AT THE MOMENT. LOOKING AT THE PROVINCE HE IS HEADING,ITS ONE OF THE RICHEST PROVINCE IN PRECIOUNS MINERAL IN THE WORLD WHICH HE HAS PUT INTO GOOD USE AND THE BENEFIT OF HIS COUNTRY PEOPLE

  89. People with an inferiority complex always find a way of bringing other people down.If it is not the skin colour then it’s where you come from or whether one is a woman or man.I personally don’t believe in bring other people down for me to feel important.I am important without any mention of any tribe.
    There is no such thing as a more superior tribe.
    Just look at the issue of Zimbabwe.Some 6-8 years ago they looked down on Zambians like they were dirt.Always ridiculed our currency and so on.An ordinary Zimbabwean thought they were more important/richer than any Zambian.
    If you go back a few years ago North western Province was like a jungle but now look at all the mines and other companies

  90. Folks, IQ tests are tailored to suit the west. Any person who has lived in the west can do well. Many black people have many discoveries and there many whites who have very low IQs. #123 Do you know who Benjamin Oliver Davis, Jr is? Dr. Meredith Groudine, Mark Dean, George Washington Carver, and Charles Drew?

  91. #45. russia_moscow, thanks for appreciating that in foreign lands we are not called by our tribes but by our Zambian nationality.

    All the best in your acknowledgment that we need to put petty issues aside and concentrate on building Zambia as a whole whther Tumbuka, Ngoni, Chewa, Nkoya, Ila, soli, Toka Leya, Bemba, Namwanga, Lozi, Luvale, Tonga, Kaonde, etc.

  92. “russia_moscow”, I know the solution to that simple JAVA problem by “Abena Copperbelt”. Please, contact me if and when you feel you need some help to redeem yourself.

    You can drop me your email address on here.

    It is my behavoiur to help those who are in trouble. By the way, I learnt JAVA programming in Zambia at Lusaka International School under specialist trainers.

    Take carefual care and ,please, remember to represent Zambia properly there in Moscow. We don’t have to bring down the reputation of ourselves (Zambians) as hard workers.

  93. FYI, Katuz is our line of defence! We need him in that position and the role is playing now is part of the big picture. He is our man period! Governing a country is advance game. You need to be atleast 20 years ahead of others.

  94. To those better informed than me, could you please tell me how Katumbi managed to amass the wealth he has,I mean prior to the whole Chiluba saga? I am curious.

  95. Imposter #140. I do not use Bemba and so spare me your uselessness.
    Is is that you are russia_moscow? Shame on you for failing yourself and many Zambians who would have benefitted from your input.
    I still maintain my offer to you russia_moscow. If you failt to answer Abena copperbelt’s question I will post it for everyone especially you to see it.
    Maybe you can then start learning JAVA PROGRAMMING since you appear to be doing basics in Russia. Or is it that you are still an undergraduate, who still has to learn how things are at higher levels of learning?

  96. #140, please desist from copying stuff. Learn to be original. You are a shame to society and humanity.
    No wonder people like you have been taking Zambia backwards instead of us (Zambians) making strides in the way forward.
    Could you please stop using my LT blog-name with immediate effect.
    One more time, I do not use Bemba anyhow. My preferences are Tonga then Nyanja. Only when it is absolutely necessary do I find myself using broken Bemba to communicate with people whp have challenges in the English language. Please!

  97. #140, I wonder how you can be proud of passing an examination with this sort of behaviour. Is it leaked material or leakages that have propelled you to be an imposter of my blog-name?

    Bring yourself together, #140, before you ruin your life. Change for the better is possible for you. It is not too late for you,#140, to change your mindset. You can surely do better than what you have done on here this day.

    All the best as you rehabilitate or endeavour-to-rehabilitate to normalcy.

  98. Name the bridge after my paramount chief, not some jerk who did nothing but plunder the nations wealth!

  99. HH steals lime light at the Umutomboko ceremony much to the annoyance of the govt officials present!! HH, go for it.

  100. Whats so special about naming the bridge after LPM?Did he build it using his money?People,there nothing special coz thats his job and he used public resources which the same people in the area have been contributing through taxes.Let him name one of his farms after himself. PERIOD………

  101. no i don’t agree with, listen there different kind of leader who don’t do any during their time of rule, but when on e does something we have to appreciate his job by naming that very thing his name, it is not everyone who can use your tax contribution to its destiny.
