  1. That monkey deserve an Oscar, It brought RB down to earth and made him look ordinary. “Ati Kanitundila”. ICHISUNGU UKUPWA MUKANWA!!

  2. can somebody tell me why the police woman was matching with her hand bag? since when did this started making sence in the army rules?

  3. Policewoman aitaya taya. You can’t do pelete with a handbag. Otherwise the rest of the photos are fine.

  4. KOLWE ALEPULA AKANSUNDE PA BENA RB. IT MEANS ALOT TEFYO? KAPOKOLA NA HAND BAG MATCHING, HOW? lOOK AT HER BIG BAD LEGS. SHE ALSO HAS A BAD FIGURE. AM SURE SHE IS FROM SOUTHERN PROVINCE.

  5. In our Village, if you dont look nice and you like telling lies and making no sense at all, Monkeys usually pee on you. So you should all now know what was happening here!

  6. Why do women like koffi olomide’s dander still have tramp stamps(tattoo) on their backs in this day and age.

  7. THAT KAPOKOLA IS BAD IN ALL ASPECTS. BAD BIG LEGS. BAD SHAPE. BAD STEP. BAD HANDBAG. TO CROWN IT ALL, BAD MANNERS OF MATCHING WITH A HANDBAG. AM SURE SHE IS FROM SOUTHERNPROVINCE.

  8. June 24 should be decalred a public holiday and be Called ‘National Monkey Day’ and we should all be allowed to wee on our lying leaders!

  9. Geoge Kunda doesnt get, this should be the time for govt to give attention to the civil servants and show some concern.

  10. Great to see the pictures, thanks LT!
    I don’t believe in coincidences. The monkey action has a symbolic meaning… an interpretation bloggers?

    The pic of Veep Kunda below the monkey clips looks like he’s turning aside to burst in laughter after witnessing the incident.

    Nice to see Kofi Olomide, I still enjoy his soothing voice & foot-stomping music. Lokassa ya Mbongo!!!

  11. Bwezani, no etiqutte at all…. on top of ship grovelling voice, “a, kani tundila.” Ma rubbish bati.

  12. Off topic guys. Anyone got the new iphone yet? I hear certain features are not working up to scratch. Went into the o” shop and the manager frankly told me it was a waste of money. Any ideas?

  13. Very good MONKEY. And how can monkey urine be a blessing? “Ati…. aahh kanitundila!!” Koffi Mopao Mokonzi my great man …… What happened between you and Fally Ipupa? Your songs were great with him.

  14. #20 Jack’s wife, we’re all sad because we all loved him. Even his enemies loved to hate him because he was simply legend. There will never be another MJ.

  15. The lady sitting next to Sarkozy is the new face behind Mopao’s grip on the rhumba scene. Watch out for Suzuki as well, for those of you old enuff to differentiate him from the suzuki car. Bord Ezanga Kombo is Koffi Sarkozy’s newest release. Each time this man is in the country I happen to away. If Sanjeni Airways were here, I would have booked first class to Zed.

  16. #33 @ Monkeygate! You made my day. I’m now laughing all the way to the gym, I’ve got to go & work out, too much sitting in fron of the computer. Have a nice weekend everyone.

  17. Pic #5
    Please! The police woman is not marching as on parade where she would not be allowed to carry her hand bag but this is just an orderly way of moving from one place to another in tandem and disciplined. At ZNS we used to say ‘not woyo woyo.’ Do not denigrate people and speak ill of these hard working never striking but sacrificing service men and women.

  18. you guys ain’t sad that MJ has passed out, u were the same people who were calling him Nigger, and he did’t want to one

  19. The monkey did not urinate. The President thought it did. It’s sad that RB has now become paranoid because of incessant attacks on him, that he accuses a poor monkey of such a dastardly act! The monkey cannot defend itself. By the way, the way he went on about Harrington was definitely uncalled for. I am sorry that he lost it. Please, your excellency maintain excellence and no matter what stones small boys throw at you, do not join them! Please, keep cool. Be angry but do not sin.

  20. But I liked it when he said, ‘I will give this one to Sata.’ That one needs to be eaten. When or if Sata becomes President, it will be a mbeba that will urinate on him.

  21. THE SAINT, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING BECAUSE HERE IN SOUTH AFRICA IT WAS ON THE NEWS LAST NIGHT,WE SAW THE MONKEY URINATING ON RB. RB UKUSHISHI TA NGA LIMUNYELA MUKANWE

  22. RB thought that it was a blessing, but the moral of the story is, make peace with your enemies by giving them their most cherished delicacy. The monkey was saying, ‘I am here. Use me.’ Sata should expect a roast monkey for christmas.

  23. That mokey deserves a award ! Kutundila HE RB.Next the birds will poo on him to show him how disgusted we all are.

  24. That monkey deserves a pat on its back. From today onwards bemba should stop eating them for splendid action taken by one of them on RB. Now can someone tell me, was it female or male? Ngasukeni.

  25. A monkey is a hero now with opposition cadres especially those of Prince Cobra. Most people in the west would do anything to have a monkey in their gardens. On the other hand that cheeky monkey can do very well on you`ve been framed.

  26. But why make a press conference under a tree, are there no conference rooms? next time, it will be a snake falling from a tree they will runing in defferent direction…

  27. Its good to see Koffi Olomide my big man still going strong. These are real musicians with all the money still strong. Ngani Mu Zambia balafwa na AIDS ama musicians. Discipline and focus. Do not be deceived by the dancing queens, the man knows what he does.

  28. #4, Ba Labour Minister beve niba chidonfu donfu—— good mililo, what is he deliberating to the nurses which can make sense if he is fat and chubby as he is??
    Ba RB , only that I can’t see the actual monkey doing the job, that was a weldone job,RB has become so self centred these days..
    #5 the police woman matchig style and handbag is one of its kind in the world..
    #8, surprisingly, Kofi has stopped picking orange coloured dancing queens!

  29. MAMA G # 63, You asked why under a tree? For the 13 years i worked there starting with KK and resigning under Chiluba, all major press conferences were conducted under the same trees to allow mass attendance.Typical misplaced politics in Zambia, the incidence now has preoccupied politics diverting every head from debating what Zambians want to hears for progress.little do we know that this has become a campaign opportunity for RB. The more we waste time on it, the more his name is selling.

  30. The monkey story interesting and funny indeed it made our president famous and Zambia too it was the talk of the world than the press conference issues.You what now the western world especailly those who have never been to Africa believe we live in trees and wild animals everywhere.I love mother Zambia.

  31. #67. Ex-Factor – Is there anything special about this same tree, since 1964 our presidents have being conducting press conference under it?

  32. Pic#8 – Kasai with a tramp stamp on her back – go back to Lubumbashi.
    Zambia is the dumping ground for every washed up Congolese singer
    This country is too accepting.

  33. That is good entertainment expected from Kofi and troupe at leat pipo will refresh their minds after being blasted by ZAMBIA ONE. Just watch in the audiance there will be alot of senior GRZ officials with their women. So there is still money to flash out 300 pins per head plus booz. See you there. The only thing we get from our brothers and sisters from DR CONGO is MUZIK ya kweli nothing else. Original Rhumba gone with the late Franco and other musicians of yesteryears. Seeing is believing. Dont be told be there to avoid heart attach.

  34. Alipwa Kofi, Zambians nolonger like his musik, we listen to local artists. He looks finishd and poor. In Zambia only Gospel muzik is rhumba now. The dancing queen looks too hule.

  35. No# 74 Persona,

    That is great better people also get taught and have life in heaven as well.

    Mukwele was like let me show you what people and Zambians think of you Mr. President.

  36. Well done monkey…….You are promoted as a boss of all animals at state house. Next time ukamunyele mukanua.

  37. For Jackson bad he is dead, Too but if he did not repent of his sins………..was not satisfied with is being black. dull chap indeed.

  38. The monkey did an interesting job and put Zambia on the world map. I hope President RB Banda will do the needful to avoid embarrassment in 2011 elections by the opposition winning the tripartite elections.

    Prevention is better than cure.

  39. it took a monkey to make our president famous.. dont blame ava sungu when they call us monkeys..

  40. pic #4 Mr Austin Liato is fat. He looks like he has two small pygmies in his belly.#7 Kofi, I would kill for that Burberry shirt. Must be expensive as hell. The brother still looks good though.

  41. I can’t see the videos, Ba LT have u removed them already. Any other link where I can check the videos.

  42. Pic #7-Koffi needs some serious shaving cream – alikwata ulupiya. Pic #8 – Dancing queen looks like all the bearings have run out of greese, recycled ihule!

  43. I hear another monkey chased George Mpombo in L/stone till he dived into a hotel swimming pool. Poor guy can’t even swim!

  44. That tells it all that the president is such a useless one that even monkeys can wee on him.cheers you deserve some bananas

  45. well done monkey.surely the truth had to come from animal,pliz rb get the message before something happens ka!

  46. Sources say that the award winning monkey will soon be holding a pres conference to clarify why he peed on the president, to diffuse speculations! Tune in to LT soon

  47. I am so glad this post boat has been restored for its original intended purpose. I had the misfortune of working on this project from day one to the day it was launched.

  48. There is something fishy between Dora and RB.I think their relationship is strictly unprofesional.Maybe Ebaumfwikisha inkani ya chikondi “love your neighbour as yourself”.

  49. # 70 MAMA G, you have asked if there is anything special about the area where press conferences are held in Plot1. Nothing special but best open space to take a big audiences be it conferences or political solidarity rallies, clear view of each people in attendance and disadvantaging would be assassins.The many trees there offer reliable shade from scotching heat.Plot one has a lot of trees everywhere.KK did a lot of conservation and gladly all consecutive administrations have maintained nature and wild life.In the first term Mwanawasa failed maintaining it clean and sustained but started responding in the second term.I had 13 straight years career of serving Zambians there until voluntary resignation under FJT administration.

  50. This simply proves a point that he’s currently using MONKEY tricks!

    RB, you can NEVER beat the Monkey at being a monkey in public. Stop your cheap politics!!!

  51. *Female buju na galagata man one love!
    *Yanitudila 2011 showers
    *Koffi ba kasai nabo rig mixing designers Gucci, Burberry, Ed Hardy,
    *George Kunda needs vitamins

  52. #2 You are jealous,you have no talent,those women you call names have entertained queens and kings stop hating and learn somthing….you think you are right but look at how many fingers are pointing at you!!!!!!!!!!!

  53. Bambo aBanda its the bembas at work. You need to institute a commitee to look into this thoughtful monkey. Where was baKatele when this was happening? maybe he transformed himself!!!!!!!

  54. I grew up in Police Camp in Ndola. It was a daily routine for Kapokolas to do drills each time their reporting for duty and knocking off especially if it was day time. This made it easier for the Bwana Kapasa to check if the officers were ready for duty in terms being sober and being in appropraite attire. Looking at that picture those in para uniform there was a mismatch in uniform others in combat others in ordinary gear. As for the lady Chief Insp. it was not her fought she might have just bin ordered to join the formation with her handbag. When we say standards have gone to the dogs that is one typical example. No wonder cops report or drink alchol on duty. They are law to themselves. What is the command doing about such issues. A cop mits local and foreign pipo and reflects Zambia.

  55. The problem with today’s kapokolas is the majority join the service for different motivies. Its called a service. The best way to is to bring back shorts not trousers from constable to Sub Inspector. That is when they will exhibit smartness and they will work hard in oreder to be promoted to avoid puting on kaputulas. Mr. Kabonde and Police & Prisons Commission consider bringng patish and kaputula’s. That is the only way there will be discipline in Police Service. The excemption should be those who are involved in combat like para and mobile units. in fact Francis and others you wore those things. Late Laima thinking that time that it portrayed lack of respect for a constable to wear a shorts were wrong. When footballers are on the field they do it in shorts. This is way forward ZP…

  56. The whole lot of President RB Banda cried out in his or some other local language; even when the monkey seems not to have done anything on him. He even seem to have mentioned Sata’s name whick makes me think that the whole episode was a fake to attract unnecessary attraction.

    Funny indeed.

  57. These monkeys are becoming more smart than the MMD cadres. They so nonsense in his Press Conference and instead of just leaving without comments, decided to just piss on him. How come Monkeys are thinking better than some Zambians? Everything happens for a reason. Monkey saw his time being wasted, response, piss on the bust**d.

  58. well said kalos.the monkey heard a lot of nonsense being put across and just pissed on the guy for wasting his time.

  59. quesion:”which country are you from?”

    answer:”zambia” 2nd quesion:”oh,the country whose president got pissed on by a monkey?”
