  1. We need the malegeni in picture no 11 in Jozi but how do you lasa with them. I guess they are heavy but I like the idea.

  2. Zambia Ziko yamutendele, you put people in an open vehicle and they do not run away. Kushishita.

  3. In pictures, especially the one with president HH and some PF and UPND cadres.

    Just to image build president HH, please leave the Jacket at home or in your office some times when meeting cadres. You need to appear dirty like them sometimes so that they recognise you as part of them.

    Otherwise, keep building your moment in a progress manner and let the Grade 2/6 PF self-appointed leader join you sometimes in your public appearances.

    Have a blessed day and keep well you all Zambians.

  4. No man should ever subject his family to the kind to toture that Kapoko’s wife and child are having to go through. Let us strive to leave an honest life. Thievery is not worth this kind of pain.

  5. The toothless man probably sounds like a screeching train when wind blows through his mouth. Pic 9 can’t the british embassy afford proper glasses instead of using those. Pic 6 is that a middle finger I see from the lawyer.

  6. The Kapokos look very healthy. Life can be unfair. Our learner from CBU are crying for two ngwee while other people are stealing billions of kwacha…

  7. Miss the days when we we would go “Jambo” and the paras would gas the campus…keep it up young Zits

  8. Conclusion in Dr. Miti’s letter to Rupiah
    Dr Miti pledged his support to President Banda’s fight against corruption.
    “Finally, I pray to the Almighty God to continue blessing you in your work as President and father of our nation and indeed the First Lady,” stated Dr Miti. “I also pledge my total support and loyalty to your administration and zero tolerance to corruption for now and in the future.”
    Meanwhile, well-placed sources disclosed that Kapoko is being sacrificed because of his perceived links with the opposition Patriotic Front.
    “There is an attempt to shield other people involved in the scam,” the source said. “Kapoko is just being sacrificed. Now they are treating him badly in prison, he is sleeping next to the toilet.”

  9. The Kapoko’s lawyer is giving the finger! pic#6
    Kapoko’s wife had to know that hubby was shaddy, that’s why she wont even look up.

  10. #11 Kapoko’s wife was enjoying the life when it was all rosy. You think she can tell the hubby that she does not want to drive the Hummer. Its Rudo who messed it all up for them.

  11. I wonder why the women of nowadays can’t see from the wealth accumulated so fast that there’s something fishy going on. They don’t talk to their husbands and ask how he can all of a sudden accumulate such wealth? They are only interested in the money. And that’s what they are in love with. There’s no way a woman who loves her husband would sense something wrong and not act. Let her go through the suffering. Sorry!

    Even wives of ministers. They don’t pump some senses into their husbands heads? It’s being irresponsible women. We could play a better role in families/society.

  12. #30 iwe, teka bola panshi! have you forgotten just how much of liars some men are…Kapoko had a pretty good position and i am sure he told his wife anything including things like, ” i got a loan” and some travel allowances nefya shala. Some women are gold digger but others are innocent and Mrs. Kapoko looks innocent…obviously he was not wealthy when they met and she could have honestly been fooled by his “good” job position.

  13. LT i begg to differ with you LT but depending on wht you mean are you saying in pic 20 that in Nyimba there is no hand pump or are you saying the people of this particular community do not have such a hand pump. i have never been there i cant argue but Knowing and thew information i have from friends who come from Nyimbai i do asume that people in nyimba and even the catholic church there in Nyimba must have tap flowing water possibly even the hand pump for the poor.

  14. #35. Slumdog Shalapungu aka Shalapungu Banton. Dora siliya was supposed to be sworn-in yesterday. I am not sure if the ceremony took place. Let us wait and see.

  15. Latest though will not be announced the MMD will still hold a convetion at which RB will not Stand so basically all this noise of RB standing is just to confuse people.

  16. #37 yes RB will not stand that is true but he will still hold the postion of party president. so as to stand for the 2011…

  17. The Pictures are nice…. Kapokos wife and daughter dont lok like people with Moola. The orphans break my heart…..

  18. # 37. C.I.A. Your latest news, though from the grapevine, may have some semblance of truth in it. This explains why The Pact is also buying time before coming out to categorically announce their preferred candidate. In war, you got to weigh your opponent’s armour or defences.

  19. The zesco shani shani looks so old..shame..i feel for my country..those women choir, they just look overworkshed in the fields balipya nakasuba

  20. 37 C.I.A greetings. Your “Latest though will not be announced the MMD will still hold a convetion at which RB will not Stand so basically all this noise of RB standing is just to confuse people” is good but I will wait and see what will happen. In fact, it is possible that all this talk and noise is to divert the attention of people from pressing issues like Strikes and Dora’s Ministerial appointment.

    I am still waiting to read news as to whether Ms MP Dora Siliya has been sworn in as Education Minister as #36 has put it. If the swearing ceremony has been held, then president HH as leader of the PF-UPND PACT may address us as regards the next course of action.

    Let us continue watching and waiting.

    Have a blessed day you all.

  21. # 9 HH was known as one of the fabulous partners at Grant Thornton. It will be very difficult for him to leave the suit. He is known for adorning expensive suits and wearing expensive colognes. Maybe when he is in state house he will also do ka boutique Busile arrangement like Chiluba!!

  22. Again, LT has withheld my comment for no apparent reason. Was LT update aimed at perfecting the art?

  23. Hi Monalisa, great to see you guys too… how come the havent shown us any pics of our education minister..ine napapa mwe..so much happens in a split second pa zed

  24. 47 Lundazi 1 greetings and are you allegic to my blogname? As for your “# 9 HH was known as one of the fabulous partners at Grant Thornton. It will be very difficult for him to leave the suit. President HH has got a lot of farms and when he is there, he pobably does not go in the field or kraal with his cologne suit(s). Such moments are being in a filed dictate what one should put on.

    It is in this regard that I am image rehabilitating him so that the Kaponya relate to him also. I hope you understand my point. The point is one must know what to put on at specific occasions.

    Have a blessed day you all.

  25. Interesting pics.
    At least people in Zambia always manage to put on a smile on their face despite the rising tides of life. Simplicity is the key to survival of the African race.

  26. Okay, lets see and I hope this one goes through.
    Pic# 5. Kapoko’s sexual behaviour is pathetic. For a married man with a beautiful family to have seven girlfriends, oops!

  27. message included with Thandie’s birthday present to Namibia first lady

    – My dear landing a sugar daddy President is not a joke. People are jealous and they will talk about your hair and your clothes and even your English. As long as you are in state house eating well and traveling, dont worry. I will see you when we come to Namibia, you know how shikulu likes to travel – Happy Birthday.

  28. #56, nice observation, but i think you meant to say people still manage to smile despite losing their teeth!!
    On a serios note Zambans are really justa a lovely bunch of people. its just a pity our governments have not done enoguh for the innocent souls

  29. pc #11 That’s an atomic catapault right there! It really looks deadly but not as deadly as Pump rifle, Desert Eagle, Street Sweeper, Uzzi & co.

    Pic#23 I think LT really wants us to go home and taste that beer, they keep showing us beer pics all the time!! Zambians living in Ireland, Australia & Germany know what it means to dwell among beer guzzling but hard-working volks.

  30. 64 NNice CV greetings. I like your “pc #11 …“, but I look at it in terms of innovation when I look at from the perspective of the space industrial. It is possible that that catapult may launch a projectile at an initial escape velovity of 11 m/s that allows object to enter space.

    This entails that with the right people in constitutional offices, Zambia cand have in-house technology that can help the nation with spin-offs to drive the coountry to serious socio-economic benefits for all Zambian Citizens.

    As for pics #13 and #20, it is impressive that the (LT) photographer initially saw the man with mangwenu(no teeth) and then took the first shot, but draw closer to show the whole world that we rejoice also.

  32. Last but not the least, and I wish to announce the arrival of my departure. A lovely weekend to everyone.
    Pic #13 @19. This man most likely lost his front teeth from a blow unleashed by a married man who caught him flirting with his wife. How F.T.J has survived with his front teeth still intact remains an enigma.

  33. Picture 23, whats the significance of showing us rubbish. What about the sewage from castle 7s any pictures?

  34. 65/6 corrections:

    As for pics #13 and #19, it is impressive that the (LT) photographer initially saw the man with mangwenu (no teeth) and then took the first shot, but draw closer to show the whole world that we rejoice also.

    Continued:

    Whatever the actual motive of the (LT) photographer, I am really happy to note that despite our troubles as a Nation, my fellow Citizens are able to express happiness. As a matter of fact the Holy Scriptures indicate that laughter is medicine to the body and so let the healing go on.

    Be blessed you all.

  37. As the Sun is about to set to mark the beginning of the Holy Sabbath Day, I would like to remind everyone about a caring president HH who in his own words said if he becomes Zambian President he will not draw a salary, but donate it to the poor. To show that HH was not joking this week he donated the following in his own words:

    “Me who loves the people of Zambia, today publicly I am announcing that I am donating a bo re hole and four t oi le ts at Potters market so that we can open that market,” he said.

    And UPND Namwala MP Major Robbie Chizyuka after this simply had to say “UPND Namwala member of parliament Major Robbie Chizyuka said: “Let’s get rid of the MMD and move forward with Hichilema“.

    These quotes are from the POST.

  38. There are no Dentist in Zambia. The Man has an amazing smile but need a set of teeth to brighten it more. Can LT find out what is the size of his teeth.

  39. #30 you are generalising and further, what makes you think she did not pump sense into him and he was adamant to heed: stubborn! Since he is a morally corrupt man, he obviously spent lots of time away from home and maybe never even provided for her but his many girlfriends. Maybe Mrs K has her own money she depends on … eeish, there are many theories, lets give her some doubt!

  40. Maestro, Greetings to you too bro. Did I hear you mention that you’re currently studying in Stuttgart? Well, then we’re not so far from each other. You might be interested to join us in our annual Zambian community braii tomorrow afternoon at Max-Eyth-See in Stuttgart. Take care & God bless.

  41. kanshi this kapoko is just a chik.i can ask her out for a drink without a problem.i can’t tell the difference between her and her daughter!

  42. the people who made donations in nyimba should seriously consider donating some money to that man with the “mangwenu” so that he can see a dentist.the man looks like a vampire!

  43. iwe mukatendwa don’t be foolish!who told you there are no dentists in zambia?people like you are the ones responsible for making the rest of the world think that people in africa porch on trees like chimps!

  44. Iswe Donya Donya and the rest, may you leave my uncle alone. Who told you he needs dentist, after all ni banoko babomine.

  45. #13 and #19 pictures-Marvelous!eastern province has some of the good looking men like RB and these two guys with no teeth.No wonder the eastern ladies are marrying from the other 8 provinces.How do you even kiss your wife…better go to sleep now lol.it is like Shaka Zulu is back.LT has left me in stitches.

  46. Fimalegeni ifyo zoona! Put them to good use someone, like ukulashilako amashilu ayapala chi maestro hehehehe nefibena dora!!!

  47. yaba Pictue 19……..very nice one. I think he is a hot kisser. I hear ladies like such nice smiles ..Ladies is it true????

  48. Sweet Miss Daisy! …..efyo waba ayiii. walikana ukuba MS KAMBONGOLO ati nshakwata good smile. Ok now we have a man of good smile on Pict# 19, nakupela……you will like him.. Yaba ama smile yamo.

  49. Kapoko has a beautiful wife and daughter. Hope no vultures will take advantage of their position. Even the lawyer should not be going there at 23 hrs to discuss the case. Am just meditating!!!

  50. Pliz can some one come the rescue of that man without teeth. Ifya ku Chipata nafyo fima shilu mwee! ‘Female Body Inspector’, u are not the only one who has inspected that body. Me, it was a daily thing before I left Zed insearch of browner pastures. Limbi twalelya bonse inkeche yakaena aaahhhhh. Shit

  51. Morning bloggers, Thanks LT for # 41, which only came after much persuasion.
    Pic # 7. One can be excused for misinterpreting Mr. Shawa’s stature and physique to that of the late ‘Elephant of Zaire,’ Pepe Kale.

  52. 79 Nine Chale thanks and sorry I just saw the “Did I hear you mention that you’re currently studying in Stuttgart? Well, then we’re not so far from each other. You might be interested to join us in our annual Zambian community braii tomorrow afternoon at Max-Eyth-See in Stuttgart. Take care & God bless” for I was on a Sabbath recess to worship. Anyhow, I hope we shall meet some other time and keep well.

  53. Kapoko’s lawyer (Kelvin Bwalya’s PIC); is that a F**k “U” symbol or what? Can laz please discipline your lawyers as this behaviour is uncalled for.

  54. Pic 14 the orphan kids, How sweet. God bless them. Pic 19 nice laugh
    In which province is Nyimba district?

  55. Artificial teeth are the best for such pipo but still they can be whiter than the original teeth in him.
