  1. Miss Daisy walasa,LT camera boys are very lazy,lyonse nifibola.A lot of things happen pa weekend ,employ people who are ready to move around.

  2. i think by “cheating death” they meant he survived……nice pics…..u c “fat” politicians ar getting even mayors while the common citizens ar getting skinny……is this wat we call justice??? god help us

  3. Do people still wear these funny items in Pic 19/20 and whats up with the face of Robert in Pic 20?
    Ubuchi iye. Zambia is very rich in Honey. Having done bee keeping in school, I know

  4. People twali temwa ifya ma last minute. What were they doing all along only to go que for passports now

  5. # 11, only in Zambia. And its like there is always someone at the accident scene to count the times the car flips which is always 3 times!!! damn pa Zed!!!!

  6. it is actually amazing to see to it that even folks back home haven´t yet had their passport issues sorted out…what does the gov´t of the day get from such a scenario?

  7. Pic # 1 & 2: Ama passport officers pashita ama motoka with such desperate people trying to get passports. Thats the situation where you find corruption at its best. Bakulakolwafye daily.

  8. LT, where are the pics for incoming thieves from MOH?I want to know them,what do you think bloggers?

  9. Man of action Minister Teta. go go.

  10. Is it just football that happens at weekends in Zambia? I am sure more does happen but the events are not given equal coverage.

  11. Hmmm! Nice pics, Lt! hey Miss Daisy, Nine Chale, Maestro, Tonga Bull…….long time! Nine Chale, how is Sweet chubbs and Co? they owe aunt C a visit, hope you havent forgotten!

  12. Baby c, am so happy to see you. What kept you so busy? I missed you mwaiche! These pictures are boring.# 21 and 24, i wonder if you ve ever seen real beauty.

  13. Huh iwe #24 Tonga Bull yashani iyo wayamba ukuteya?Man,u see I’m warming up here and now you say you’ll be presenting soon????!!!!! Hey Miss Daisy even if Tonga Bull presents just put him on hold until you see me- I’m the man!

  14. Jozi is great Bapungwa…Baby C..mwana..yashani..everyone missed you..how u.. where have you been..? GREAT TO HAVE YOU BACK

  15. #27 Kwame,I don’t know what you call ‘real beauty’ but when I look at Miss Daisy’s pic what I see is the definition of beauty!

  16. Nice pics LT. It’s war with the passport stuff. Thank God i got mine when i recently was on vacation pa ZED. Chicken thing??? “Nipa 30 mwebantu mwalaba shani!!!”

  17. #11,13 and 20 every where in the world, there are experts in the police that determines how many times a car would have roled by analysing the so called accident scene, mwitumweneshamo pa Z naimwe. Visit the Zambia Police Academy (Lilayi/Sondela) webpage and see what kind of courses men and women in uniform go through. You will be suprised, these things exist in Zambia too. Its not difficult to determine the number of times a single vehicle overturns in an accident. Its not common knowledge though, it has to be learnt proffessionally.

  18. #31 Mala you too can see ati ka Miss Daisy ni ka material ka?Man me I just saw her kama pic and immediately developed goose bumps!I hope she is not tonga ’cause I don’t have a single cow to pay!Perhaps Tonga Bull can help me out just in case…

  19. #33 bakaamba ba Mweshi muli pa south I can see,mudala you look like a shibukombe type so can I hire you for some urgent issues?

  20. Miss Daisy and Baby C..great to have you back.honestly speaking even myself missed you.
    LT the only thinh making me to wonder is what was the motivation you had when getting the pictures of theman with chickens, not that it was bad or like am condeming am just wondering the motivation. Anyhow great pictures.You guys somehow do the unexpected its good too.Good job.

  21. ABout the passports i don’t see why they just would not let people get newones upon the old one expriring. Just causing a lot of commotion and restlessness among people for nothing. This kind of money maming venture is not acceptab le. When one just renewed their passports you still say they have to get new ones instead of just letting people get noewones whne the old one expires. Makes sense right? lekeni ama gimmick yabula amano!!

  22. Pic #1,2, passport saga… never changing scenarios in Zedi…
    Pic #4,5, chicken issue.. this is serious animal rights issue., we know its destined for butchering/chewing, but this is absurd!
    Pic # 7, Velepi Mtonga survived the MoH saga??
    Pic #9, Ba Mwangala Zaloumis batampa ukusuba amafuta/Jaribu kumenso???
    Pic #19,20 , Interesting name: Robert CHIKWELETE. long time I heard that word!! trues God!!

  23. Jamaco shani? I your lawyer using all the power vested in me hereby instruct you to make your comment. according to sec 12 (1 a) of the laws of Zambia you have the right to your opinion. LOL

  24. pic #10, ati FASHION PHIRI, what kind of grown man goes by that name? if i where him i would have changed my name at age 5. the female footballers look fit. otherwise boring………………………..

  25. The pass issue is a nightmare how can govt give a deadline when things themselve are not moving at passport office it should just be declared an on going process and not all zamians are home give us time pliz what is the rush all about.

  26. The man with chickens was too cruel. Even if the chickens are going to be killed deserve kindness. Girl child, no spectators. Maybe they were in the grandstand.

  27. Pic # 1 & 2 – Zambians queuing up for passports look well fed indeed. Are they really Zedians??
    Pic # 5 – LT, next time just for a change, show us an RTA where a vehicle overturned 5 times
    Pic # 11 & 12 – LT, wapena kubufi. How come the same female player from Red arrows has two different names? Don’t be lazy with details!!

  28. Nice pictures for our women ‘Ronaldos’. Can they really play? May be able to since they are military. Ba former BoZ boss, yaa!! Ka stance. It reminds of Tona na Ponyax. I didnt know he’s grown so grey now.

  29. 22 Baby C cool and good noticing you.

    Have a great day.

  30. whats going on pa Zed…

    why has chicken man stopped and waiting for the light to turn red…??

    thought it was the other way around…

    or am i losing it…??

  31. #11 Mweshi
    It has to be three times in order to survive deepending on the minimum illegal speeding. The tendency of a body to keep moving in a straight line or to remain at rest, means that the applied force must be broken gently to preserve the tissues and organs. Rapid deceleration means damage to heavier organs such as the brain in the skull. Flip once, you die. Flip more than 3 times, you have a chance of survival. That is what my O’ level Fizix teacher said long time ago. Things may have changed.

  32. Picture 3. Animal rights? I am more concerned with the man’s life. He is cycling carelessly with one hand on the chickens and one on the bicycle. He is a traffic hazard.

  33. Why would the man with his two chickens stop and wait for the traffic lights to turn red? Would he want to wait even longer for them to turn green? Or would he wait again for the lights to turn red? And again, and again and……………..

  34. Thanks ba L.T 4 da pictures, but if u get paid 4 this job, then u better take it into consideration and make some effort, cause these pictures are NOT INTERESTING to be honest!!!!

  35. LT where r the body builders???? And pic #9 that woman looks like shes gona throw up any min and the man sitting on the left is just waiting to jump out of his sit……….

  36. I think you all know how Zambians tend to rush for things in the last minute…I know some people who’ve had 10yrs passports and have never stepped a food outside zambia… some of those passports will find their way paKatondo or muma kabadi somewhere…

  37. #66, it doesn’t matter whether one is using it or not. The same thing can be said to NRCs. Do you have to get your NRC only when you are about to be offered a job? One can get a pport just to be prepared for any opportunity to strike. I don’t know when you where born-but, in KK republic people used to lose their scholarships abroad due to the slow process at pp office. PPort officers used to deliberately sit on applications just to make someone lose his scholarship. Especially that it used to be only UNIP chaps and their children who travelled abroad and overseas. And don’t think everyone is just applying now. Most of them have just gone to push up things by bribing the officer.
