  1. Matworld, mir geht’s prima, danke! When did you start speaking Deutsch? Nice one.
    Back to ze story, I hope ba Shikapwasha does not turn out to be the flipside of Mulongoti.:-?

  2. Ata fi LT ..why blocking my comments. Why defending Mulongoti?? He was too big mouthed for nothing. Useless to Zambia. [-([-([-([-(

  3. Ba mwinsho, I’m busy jumping between LT & some other interesting site. I’m getting dizzy now, so I think I’ll stick to the other site for a while. Later.

  4. @ Maureen.

    Du sprichst auch Deutsch!! Es ist echt Cool!! Freut mich. Hier ist es auch sehr kalt aber ich habe gerade Chilli gegessen.

    Und gleich gibt es Bier .. also PROST!!!

  5. Why should a deputy minister make a present to a minister – Who happens to be his boss??? Is this not corruption?:-?:-?:-?
    I thought the outgoing minister is the one to be given a present! If he deserves, of course!!:-w:-w

  6. Nine Chale !! Nomba batusokolola ifwe iwe!! We can not even hide!! Awe I am surprised!! Let me Open the Weizen!!

    I will comment on the Media Issue soon since that is my profession here. Wait 😕

    Pls someone at Zed respond with full information!!

    Natotela

    Imwe Ba Maureen come to Deutschland and visit me and Nine Chale!! Awe this German will get you good connections Kuno!!

    Get on Zambian Airways and fly !! Me and Nine Chale are waiting!!

  9. #28 :d Actually I can speak french, italian, portuguese, german and a bit of spanish. I am trying to learn Arabic but its kinda tough

  10. jamaco, there is only ZNBC and MUVITV! unless a new one has just sprang up and i am not aware of it. but otherwise ni two fye! :)>-

  11. From the Information I have received so far:

    ZNBC
    MUVI
    Nyama Soya TV
    northrise tv

    So does it mean we have 4 Stations altogether?

    How are the Broadcasting times ? Is it like in the old days ( Was last in Lusaka in 1998)!!! 17Hrs until Midnight? Or do you have access during the day aswell?

    Still very grateful for answers!!

  12. Allow the Task Force to extend its investigations beyond Gen Kayumba and the now convict Singogo we see if Shikapwasha’s hands are clean. Defence forces are a hip corrupt thugs. If the heads are like that what of the minions?

  13. The nation has not made any progress on the Freedom of Information Bill and the Independent Broadcasting Authority. The ministry to which Lt. Gen. Shikapwasha, who is also a man of the altar(priest)has been appointed to is very challenging. You may either cheat and keep your job with RB and lose your eternal life with God for the sin,or you may tell the very truth and get fired by RB. But posterity will judge you fairly. I don’t think Mulongoti had done better to even deserve a farewell party!

  14. Truth be told,Mulongoti needs to bid farewell to Zambia altogether. He has done nothing to distinguish himself from the current govt “leaders” who have failed Zambia. I await that headline, though it it’s really a fantasy of mine…:)

  15. #52 and #53. Please reinforce what you are saying about this chap Mulongoti – our president Sata will support you fully. He needs to be fired completely. That is why Sata made sure Chiluba never appointed him. Alishibe ati nawena yuy nikabolala but alalandalanda sana. Tukamuzala when the right time comes. Nikabolala Mulongoti.

  16. We need proof that the gift was bought from his personal money and not our money. Why didn’t he give that gift to an orphan or someone without any influence in govt? This is an indirect bribe. Shikapwasha MUST be prosecuted for accepting it. He should have said NO, I am only a servant of the people unless it is meant for my staff.
