  1. okey out of topic but mai Banda needs help.colour and complexion co-ordination pulizi..i find those ambulans rediculous..we can do better..

  2. Lovely pics….May I suggest we a beauty contest at the ongoing Great lakes summit to see who is the ugliest among these presidents! RB to lead the contest. Hotest contenders are pic # 3, 9, 11 and 18..

  3. Bicycle ambulance??? aren’t ambulances supposed to be closed and sterile against microbes. IT should be called ZAMCAB II not ambulance because thats no ambulance. Lsk province minister has love handles in the back of his head, he needs a treadmill and a high protein diet

  4. slumdog you are ringt, how can a dr giv cpr in such a one or first aid if its a case of accidents? we should never compromise health care. the govt should not even be proud of this as they can do better,.

  5. Pic # 1.The idea of bicycle ambulance is crazy! Its ironic that when it comes to the poor we think of all unthinkables? Have you ever heard of VIP bicyles for Ministers and the Apams? Let govt bite the bullet and provide the necessary social services for all equitably.

  6. I bet the idea of a bicycle ambulance didn’t come from an african, it probably came from a muzungu that still thinks africa is in the stone age. What if the patient needs urgent care and the peddler is tired or going uphill? What if the patient is a pregnant woman that may fall off and have a miscarriage? Some of these idea’s are sold to africans by people that don’t even know africa that well. I hope those zambulances were free because if any money was paid for such an idea someone needs to be shot

  7. Focusing on the poor and ignoring the system of power, privilege, and profit that makes them poor, is a little like blaming the corpse for murder.

  8. totally sad how these leaders fail to inspire any sort of confidence in us the massess. u can tell by the huge grins of happiness that they are here mostly just to have a blast. the talks will be empty written speeches that no one among them will even listen to which means implementation will just be a pipe dream (think the famous indaba) i fail to understand why we as africa lag behind so much and let these morons take us for a ride. i mean, museveni’s been in power for like what, forever? and that Lusaka province minister dude looks like excellent dictator material

  9. Pic # 1. Ati Zambulance, he,he,he! Ma project yalibe na kumutu.
    #13. Yankee Muntu. Spot on.
    Pic # 8. Jahman live I.
    Pic # 20. Bikeni bola panshi bakalamba!

  10. Nice pics tho bike ambulance??Wat the hell??! Can RB and co be the first to demostrat how thes work. Is this the best idea they cud come up wit after all those endless talk summits. With all of RB’s globe trooting whhr has he come across a bike ambulance shuwa to even enetertain such nonsense? Awe… zed is well and truly finished. At least women can give birth mu bike ambulance!

  11. pic#1 imwe bantu did they consider health and safety before those hideous bicyc;es wew made?
    pic #2 is that a snake I see amongs the contraband the hit mant was using. Awe kwena baba muyasha mwe!
    pic#9 Those two men in tha picture are offensively big
    pic#8 I love the determinatgion of the igo igo in that picture.
    pic#19 George Kunda and the other man seemed to be exchanging headlice, or maybe saying hey dude RB is such a fart!

  12. AYA AMAPIKICHA HAVE REALLY REVEALED HOW THAT THE CURRENT MMD-GUYS HAVE BIG NOSES. Iyee kwena ni fimyona eee!!!!

  13. Wow Bikes! as ambulances today I agrees with the blogger that says Zambia is a Joke, nine chale bear with me, summit for ancient post wise African leaders to make that mula. With the Bicycles that could have been ambulances if Ministers did not get three cars cell charges covered by our folks, entertainment allowances; presidents one trip can buy three ambulances. Olympus chick welcome back. Where is Jamaco, for family growth you are gone, that is wise and noble my brother. God’s blessing my Zambian and world family, remeber always there is power in the name of Jesus.

  14. Pic# 1..very disgusting…lets see if they can carry her on those bicycles they call ambulances when she falls ill..is this normal really.Its embarrasing.Who said Zambians need such??If someone needs to go to the ER when would they reach the hospital, poor pipo need not be mocked mrs president!!!Ministers buy Prados, Pajeros this is the best they can do?Selfish pipo!!!

  15. Pictures of my fellow Zambians like the Hawker that work hard to earn a living are walmth to the soul like an answered prayer from the Lord Jesus. To my surprise no delegates from both Namibia nor Botswana to note. Why are Zambian leaders afraid of using Tswana land as an example? I guess a true democracy is painful to use as an educational tool. Poor Zambian player effeminised by the west, ear rings and all, plus gay jeans. Find out the truth about African history; about our making of pyramids, civilisations birth and culture. Plus our role in God’s word. Have a lovely week my family, remember to tell your wives you love them men; women teach your children, let us all work to change Zambia. My prayer is that the lord God Jehovah provides intelligence to my people and his wisdom.

  16. Pic #1 why is Thandi wearing a curtain?
    That suit is as hideous as the Zambulances she is launching! Pic #3 somebody help Mr Shawa and Mayor Chikwelete they are about to go in labor. Zambulance any one? Oh wait cargo is enormous. Can’t fit. Call cancel!

  17. Pic #6 Kingsley Jr, now those are some arms I would really enjoy being rocked in. Pic # 16 whats up boo’s. . Holla at ya gal!

  18. #14 Slumdog Shalapungu, may I add, what if its raining?. And where does the person assisting the person to be transported to the hospital sit??????

  19. #1 pic. It is only a govt with gross f oolishness and unquestionable maltifunctional system which can exhibit this shameless hypocritical and primitive hardheadedness . A govt which cruelly buy 100 hearses and can openly exhibit a crimpled bicylce as their ambulance. No one is in a hurry to go to the grave in your luxury Manda mandas.Many Zambians will be more than glad to be rush to hospital in your Manda mandas if only you can paint them white with a red cross.

  20. I dont blame the guy who has designed that Zam-abulansi…I believe he/she was challenged after the purchase of your infamous Mandax2.Please Zambians we deserve better treatment than this trush treament that we are suffering at the hands of these criminals.Ok does the Zamabulance come with parademics.can you transport an expectant mother in that chigulugulu of yours.Just use that thing to carry MMD strippers to the airport. I will therefore sugest a new name for your invention.MMD strippers Wagon ,or RB strippers wagon.I believe in Zamocracy, so fellow BLOGGERS vote on the name will give to this Zambian inverntion in picture#1 If youre for MMD stripers wagon Type MMD and you are for RB stripers wagon type RB, I will compile the votes and send Thandiwe she seem to like it so much…

  21. pic#2 ala mukwayi nokumuponona tabamuponwene nakwata namaka yakusaminina kuchibumba.Ask ask how weuse to beat Thieves in the Police will be call to come and get the corpse in the morning.we actually used to set one ablaze, Thats how you dont hear of burglary in our neighborhood .Maybe limbi ifi twafumako..
    #9 Ministers should be allowed to be this fat when their constituencies are wallowing in poverty.
    # 19 Was part that on any other BIZ?
    #17 I hope those are not the only shoes the Task Force grabbed from FJT
    #8 These are the Zambians who are struggling to make ends meet day in day out while the likes of Kapoko are busy robbing the govt.
    # 16 Baiche not amaule ifimwaisa your future is in your legs not the thing between them.

  22. ON #2. WHICH CHARMS? CAN YOU ASK IN TO DISTRIBUTE TO OTHER PEOPLE. OR AT LEAST DOCUMENT THE SCIENCE FOR EXPORT TO OTHER COUNTRIES. ZAMBIA CAN BE RICH OVERNIGHT.

  23. LT. ICISUNGU UKUTOBA NISHANI!

    “Lusaka province minister Charles Shawa talking to for Tanzanian president Benjamin Mkapa”

    …talking to for Tanzanian… Its us bloggers who are supposed to blunder. We don’t edit. Not you coz that your job.

  24. Pic #3 and 9. These thieves (Charles Shawa) – you see how is looking compared to ordinary Zambian. And the same fools will tell you to tighten your belt.

  25. Shawa … AWEH MWE!! WTF IS THIS NKUMBA DOING IN GOVERNMENT? HONESTLY, CAN YOU BE PRODUCTIVE WITH ALL THAT CELLULITE? MWE BANTU, PLEASE HEAR ME OUT…AWEH!!!!!!

  26. Zambulance?!!! Perhaps Michael Jackson might have survived if only they used this thing!

  27. Hey, can someone please tell the Zambian wealthy people that to be obesse is not healthy and not cool at all…. There is no way these guys can concentrate doing their work with that amount of fat around their brain cells…. It looks pathetic indeed!

  28. In Zambia we need a lot of humour otherwise you can really be angry, depressed,get sick with what is going on in the country.Laughter is like medicine, i think we need to look at all those situations in Zambia with a lot of humour of course not forgetting the seriousness of the matters and how the Govt needs to be held accountable. God bless Zambia

  29. HOTEL Catering and Allied Workers Union of Zambia (HCAWZ) president Sitwala Mubiana says foreign tourists have begun to list Zambia as one of the dangerous destinations following MMD cadres’ violence against journalists.In an interview yesterday Sitwala said that some high profile personalities such as actors and musicians who had intentions of coming to Zambia had expressed concern at the continued violence being perpetrated by the MMD against journalists and anticipated that this would degenerate into a national crisis hence withdrawing their intentions to visit Zambia.
    “A few tourists we mingle with in the sector have indicated to us that a lot of tourists and VIPs who have intentions of coming to Zambia are having second thoughts as they fear that they may end up being caught in…

  30. What they fear is that one day, they would be caught up in a crossfire because where there is violence, people tend to take advantage of the situation and vent their anger on innocent people. And foreign tourists would be an ideal target as they would be viewed as having cash,” he said.

    Mubiana said that a lot of travel agents had wondered what Zambia was like after it was last visited by now California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and former James Bond actor Sean Connery.

    He added that the behaviour of MMD cadres at the Lusaka magistrates court complex was a clear indication of a well perpetrated militia within the MMD and that as Zambia draws close to the 2011 general elections, it is bound to get worse.

  31. ba LT pic # 9, you owe an apology to Tanzania. The president is Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete while Benjamin Mkapa is the previous president. The pic is correctly of the former president.

  32. RB may not be handsome but pic # 5, Obasanjo, is the monster. Bet he can’t even beat the Silverbacks in the Congo forests if they staged a Mr. Handsome there.

  33. Zambulance is a great idea and it should be able to serve its purples. Kudos to Thandi, at least she has some brains. Lets pray that they buy more of these bikes, the bike is affordable. Better to have 10 of these bikes than one Ambulance.

  34. #58, you are a real Cabbage, do you really think in your right mind that these s.h.i.t Zambulances will work?? what about Paramedics? were would they sit? life support equipment? what about speed? would these bikes endure the potholes?? I can’t believe this

  35. #58. Iwe Kabilki, bushe ngawalilwele ubulwele bwa kupolomya(cholera) elyo walefwaikwa dilipu bwangu bwangu ku kiliniki nangu ku chipatala bushe kutiwafika uli mutuntulu ngabakusendele pali Zambulance? Uletontonkanya.

  36. This Zambulance is a JETS project for pupils (Libala Secondary School), and Government takes it seriously!!! What on earth is happening in Zambia??

  37. All pictures are good except one. These bicycles in the first place shouldnt have even gone for presentation at state house. Its so sad to see how far we can sink in our society. An ambulance should provide privacy when one is ill, lets say women who may have a lot of diffierent issues to men, the rain season and generally the privacy of a person. I would suggest that since the public has cried so much on the manda manda ordered in the country, get those small matrresses fitted in to the those vehicles and renovate them to a white colour and utilise them as ambulances please. This is my suggestion rather than have a bicycle fittet with a mattress, and expect someone to get to the hospital. I dont think the international world would really expect to see that after donations made to GOVT.

  38. Those zambulances require to taken for engineer certification for tasks inteded. PACRO/ and health experts should be involved. Even if initiative is there let us not take such to state house and invite the media. Shame on Zambians, starting from the hieghest level.

  39. #62. Nebo. Privacy is very important; especially with some of the feel-good, dirty-humoured, tap-dancing men we have around who may feel erotic upon seeing a woman on a Zambulance and in labor.

  40. Pic 1. Had to look at the calendar – thought it was April fool’s Day. I do not believe this is happening in Zambia. This is a joke! Zambulance … my foot! Do these people actually know what an ambulance is?

  41. Somebody please tell me about the the “First Lady’s ” Background , because anybody in their right state of mind can not entertain such rubbish called Zambulances .When I was growing up we never saw such backwardness . Iam old enough to be Thandiwe’s mother , but too young to have a Husband like Hers

  42. these african leaders honestly ..greadness is even overpouring from their fat bodies. How can we even expect any tangible work/development to come from this inactive bodies and minds
    please AFRICA we need to start doing better…fatness is surely not wealth but only promotes poverty for the other deserving members of society.

  43. First Lady’s Ambulance should have been sent to evacuate Ben Tetamashimba to South Africa and then bring him back in his favourite private ambulance he got from China. AIDS is AIDS the body says so.

  44. Pic # 19 – Kenyan minister, whispering “Dude, tummy’s rumblin’…is there a place…maybe not too far away…i dont know if i can hold it…” GK, loudly “Oooh, okay, that explains the smell! I actually thought it was a dead cat!”
