  1. Yaba! Abena Liato ukwiina! Enjoying at the expense of the poor masses, ka? Our collegue requires an operation in Russia but meanwhile they are posing for photos!

  2. Sabona bazalwani(Hello! brethren)

    Out of topic.

    I had a great day today,and I thought I should share it with my brethrens.I was in town and I met a very lovely couple from Zambia.I was so happy to meet them,and I must say that they are a lovely couple.Oh God i want to be lke that couple.They even shared the Vinkubala they had with me.Iam sure we all have noticed the ka Person that comes on traffic lights when crossing the road.It looks like a ka male.So as we were about to cross(the couple and myself).I heard a big shout from.The husband was shouting at the wife ati “you that ka person on the traffic lights is for kabasankwa,kabasimbi kalabola.”that is how the wife remained waiting fo:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j

  3. One can tell that the ARV’s are workign well for George Kunda at least. I am encouraged to get unto the same. I will start kutoping’a

  4. Then we continued with the man,I offered to pay for some refreshments as a way of appreciating his kindness to me.So it was his turn to order.Ala ukwisa landa ati Ndayanda ci bun na colgate akati. :-j:-j:-j:-j:-j:-j

  5. Why are people calling for the removal of the baby pictures. They are already on the internet. Just google for Zambia Doctors and you will see. I think you guys have a bad attitude towards the disabled. As in just hide them away we don’t want to see them and know they exist. This is real and this is a picture and the mother is proud of her baby to even make her appear before cameras. This is really sad attitude. Please grow up

  6. LT naimwe. You mean these are the only pictures you were able to capture the whole week? I dont like any of the pictures. Show us the Obama inauguration, or are you jealous?

  7. Nine Chale
    How are you bro?Ine ukumi missing’a guys.

    Ba Moze,
    Nalimipata you didnt tell us where wenze you. :-j
    G Baby Tafilayamba ukukosa I just want to get used not to blog with you sweet pipo,Otherwise nakula butuka mu class to blog pa LT.

    Jenks

    Iam Great and You?

  8. It reminds me of how nobody wanted to hang around me just because am albinot and they though I was some mystical something and even my relatives would rather hide me somewhere and I find it amazing that this attitude is still alive in our society. Am disapponted

  9. Nine chale,Ba moze,Zoe,Rashid jone,Jenks,Sony ericsson,matworld,cutey,ba maureen and baby c….

    you guys i thank God for you,you are a blessing especially on LT.
    take care and keep on keeping on.

    How are you Mbuya wanga,Missing you like Mum.Mwebaku eastern mulimbama.

    I miss you so much Guys,Bye for now.

    Ba Moze

    I have a question for you.Please tell me If I can go ahead.I need your help Mudala.

  11. #36 You’re mistaken! There is a limit for things that can be shown on a public forum. If anyone wishes to see certain things, we know where to go.
    Some people may find such pictures offending, especially that a baby is involved. This has nothing to do with disowning the disabled but in this particular case, the pictures have been released without regard of bloggers’ feelings. It’s like an attack.

  12. You might be shocked to see the pic of the baby and want to look away. There is no need for that, this is a Zambia moving away from margilising people who are in such bodly form. After seeing the picture either you can be sympathetic and desire a better result for the baby, cold and apathetic or just look away in disgust. The choice is yours but look at it.

  13. Imwe !! I REALLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE MIXTURE OF THESE PICS!!

    THE PRESIDENT LAUGHING AND THEN THOSE BABY PICS??

    LT YOU CAN NOT EVEN BOTHER TO POST AN ARTICLE!!

    WE ARE JUST LEFT WITH PICS AND EXPECTED TO DO WHAT?

    LT GIVE ME THE NAMES OF YOUR ADVISORS!!! YOU CAN ALSO GIVE ME HIS OR PHONE NUMBER!!

    SCANDLE SCANDLE SCANDLE SCANDLE SCANDLE SCANDLE SCANDLE SCANDLE SCANDLE SCANDLE

    SCANDLE SCANDLE SCANDLE SCANDLE SCANDLE SCANDLE SCANDLE SCANDLE SCANDLE SCANDLE

    LT PLEASE HAVE TASTE AND POST AN ARTICLE IF YOU POST DISTURBING PICS LIKE THAT!!

    THIS IS MORALLY WRONG. THANKS !!!

    ITS LIKE SOMEONE IS ENJOING THIS REACTION SOMEONE AND FEELING SEXUALLY SATISFIELD

    PATHETIC!

  14. Yaba LT all these guys are trying to say is that the baby pictures are out of context – no explanation as well you see? Interesting medical story

  15. NINE CHALE

    The ambassador has actually brought his mother to enjoy the warm weather pa Zed, since its winter in Russia.

  16. have you checked out the women pa zed even muma pictures, niba zayellow. Y kanshi black is beatuful lomba mufuna mafuta yo sweetesha [-x[-x

  17. #42 Anonymous

    If I may be allowed one piece of advice to you – try not to take things quite so personally. Our feelings about the baby pictures have nothing to do with your personal negative experiences.
    If you’re going to relate your past everytime someone says something like that, it seems to me that you have not coped well enough with your experiences. You just can’t let everything bother you, I urge you to biuld up your self confidence or you will end up in a permanent state of frustration!

  18. Whats the point of these pictures? Most of them are focussed on MMD. What we need will be pictures of various events around the country on varied topics not necessarily politics especially at state house. While health has been covered here, we need pictures on; Environment, security, education, communication, agriculture, development etc. We want to see Village life vs Town life in pictures!

  19. I feel for Faith Mwape and the mother. However, all the best to the both of them in this life.

    On the police men and wome, are they Police commanders or police comissioners, LT? It is however nice to see a picture of Ms/Mrs Brenda Muntemba.

    On the President and Vice President picture, it looks great. However, I recommend that the President must start going to the gym for light exercises if he doesnt. may he can shed some weight and reduce on sleeping which he affirmed by saying that what do you expect when you elected an old man as your President.

  20. hai bloggers. how true is this that prolonged use of contraceptives leads to such parasitic growth as in the picture of the baby?

  21. LT the pictures ar okey we just pray hav to pray for the baby and doctors to do a good job, i dont understand the chaps y we shud see obama’s pictures for wat, go on white house web. This is a touching situations happng pa Zeb instead of being concerned yo want to watch silly pictures. No wander pipo ar calling u childish.

  22. Guys come one, there is really nothing wrong with the pictures. The child will be operated and he will be fine. The only problem is that LT, couldnt even put a sentence to tell us what is up or when the child well be operated.

    #42, Anonymous, i cant say i understand how you feel but you need not be bitter. Be the change you would like to see in the world and that would start with you not being ANONYMOUS, be proud of who you are and inspire though who still have stigma in trivial matters like being scared of an albino or a person with a disability. Havent you had enough of hiding behind as per your statement above??

    # That fat guy is so unattrative, perhaps its a passport to to the gov

  23. Iye ba Brenda Muntemba, still around, hmmm she used to be so annoying, pa news lyonse lyonse////competing na President Mwanaw…

  24. I feel for the baby and the mother, I hope things work out for them. If I can ask a question, is there a way you can know if the unborn child is going to be disabled or something while the woman is pregnant? How soon can one tell? I’m asking because I might be a father soon.

    On the other pictures, Liato is Fat, no wonder he does nothing as an MP and minister, what a shame.

    Ba prez, nabena he is fat, he needs to lose weight before it becomes another ‘national problem’.

  25. 73. Prof Mutengo Waminga greetings. Nice to read from you. Have you moved away from the USA now to another country?

    What workshop? I hope it was against corruption. The police is the most corrupt security wing known to man: their descretion is known to be shaky, at a mere sight of the week Kwacha.Alaaaa!

  28. 84. nice to hear from you. yes. I am in Tehran. nice to hear from you too. the blog has really changed. but although, I rarely contribute, I am always reading your comments and others too. stay safe

  29. #36
    I totally agree with you regarding the baby pictures. Bloggers that are against the pictures can afford to demand their removal as they are not in any bit concerned. Had that baby been their relative, they would have been happy to see those pictures as they would be evoking positive motions from the world. This attitude towards disability is very dangerous as it leads to what is happening in Tanzania against Albinos, not that albinism is a disability. That baby is cute and has every right to be here. If anyone has problems with that, go blog elsewhere.
    I read the story about that baby but had no idea how the parasite was growing. Thank you LT for enlightening us.

  30. #15.Matworld-Nice guy! he he he he! your jokes about that couple….cool but you seem not to understand Zambian culture well. I have been to all parts of Zambia so some info for you…

    1. Tongas dont eat vinkubala, they consider them as insects that should not be touched. So if the couple shared vinkubala with you, its not a tonga couple….probably a bemba one!

    2. Bembas are not mbuyas with Tongas. As a Bemba, your Mbuyas are Easteners. Tongas are mbuyas with Westeners and North Westeners.

    Otherwise you rock….and nice to have you back!

  31. #42 Pardon my reference to Albinism. I hope that you will not look at it as an insult but take it according to your experience at #42

  32. Nine Chale – the lady police office is Brenda (I forget her last name) – she used to teach at alliance francaise in Lusaka

  33. cool my man….then you confused me when you have been reffereing to Esteners as your mbuyas….lets contunue to celebrate our heritage….

  34. You people, do we really have image builders in this country of ours? No, no, no…..we cant have people looking like zombies. I’m not talking about the baby pictures.

    LT please when you’re showing the world our president, try to pick on the best pictures. That is if there are any that look better. Thank you

  35. LT remove the pictures. Its not morally right to display those pictures of the baby. I for sure wouldnt want my baby in such a condition paraded like this.

  36. Baby Pictures-The Sun newspaper over here in england have a more detailed account of that baby-check out the story on their website

  37. Stop pushing your heads into sand. Be real. Everyone against the baby pix. We can only change things when we accept them. Now if we hide those pix and pretend there are no such things you think any thing would change? By change I mean help coming the baby’s way through financial, material and spirital support. As it is most if no all have been affected by those pix in one way or the other. Those full with charity will surly respond accordingly. As for some of you professional bloggers just blog away…

  38. # 110 I’m sorry what has Obama got to do with zambia?His picture’s aren’t worth a thousand words to Zambia, its American history in the making.

    These pictures are educational. It’s meant to bring out an emotion and i’m sure the mother wanted to show the world her baby pictures, she knows her baby ain’t perfect but she still loves her. She’s better than those mothers who throw away their perfect babies. It’s great to see how she can actually cope with her baby. It does show that those saying LT get the pictures off would not have been able to cope if you were in her situation and who knows what you would have done. It’s as bad as being RACIST.

  39. #111 You are really deep my brother. You have hit the nail on the head. People like Nine Chale #2 and #4 make me feel ashamed of being Zambian. They perpetrate the cruel treatment and discrimination that is metted out to disabled people in Zambia. Disabled people are ignored and locked away. This baby has a loving mother who is prepared to show her off. Shame on all those who are complaining. It is the 21st century. In a country with clever surgeons this would be viewed as a challenge and they would perform any surgery free of charge.

  40. LT please delete the first ten or so posts in every thread. They are almost always devoid of any substance or relevancy to the topic.

  41. nine chale if a siamese baby attached to her underdeveloped sibling is too much for you to bear don’t moan – just shut your eyes! :-l:-l:-l

  42. Lusaka Times, point of correction, there is no russian male surname that ends with letter ‘A’. The man is Boris Malakhov.

  43. The baby pics are fine. Iam proud of this mother and I pray that the operation will be a success.
    To me, looks like a failed siamese/conjugated twins…
    #45, 😡 and thanks a lot. I know you care.
    #66, poseniko amano kusukulu bane/sis.and know that you always rock.. Thanx for your support over Bin laden’s step brother. You know what Iam talking about.
    #72, that lady’s face colour does not match her arms colour. NiFanta Na CocaCola. If Thandie starts that style you will all complain ati taxpayers money bcoz that merchandise used is not cheap. Mulibe vabwino imwe banthu..(just good advice here.)
    Kapena mufuna Thandie asanguke muzungu kwati Vera C. turned into pa plot 1.?[-x

  44. “PATRIOTIC Front (PF) president Michael Sata yesterday challenged President Rupiah Banda to tell the nation what he had gone to do in Libya since he went without journalists from government-controlled media, including press aide Dickson Jere.”

    ZAMBIANS NOW WILL START TO PAY FOR THE EIGHT TRACTORS FROM LIBYA. LI CROOK BA RB. HE DOESN’T TRUST EVEN HIS GOVT SPONSORED MEDIA. ZAMBIAN URANIUM HAS BEEN SOLD FOR EIGHT TRACTORS. WATCH OUT.

  45. Remove the baby picture naimwe ala. we know you’re trying to educate dut did u have put that mnay there? One should have been enough. LT listen to me.
    Ba Rupiah Banda, what are you doing about education in Zambia? Please, enough with the photo ops, I’ve seen enough of your ugly face already.

  46. Baby photos are too emotional, please do not show us such photos. May God grant this child a smooth operation and provide strenth for the mother and family.

  47. Why not show the pictures? If we see pictures like this we will realize how blessed we are that we were born normal. We need to also pray for the baby and the family. We are our brother’s keeper
