  1. LT you could be sued for slander. What evidence do you have that the traffic police in pic 17 is soliciting for a bribe? If he is, then surely he should be reported to his superiors?

  2. Pic 13 bushe kulumba nomba chimina balefyona aba bamayo and pic 17 it is very gratifying seeing carol mokola with all smiles chabe

  3. This idea of having Ministers, service chiefs and Government officials at the Airport everytime the President goes out of Lusaka visiting within the country is a waste of time and money. Such welcomes can only be done when he goes out of the country for more than a week. Zambian Governments are very good at wasting time and money.

  4. This nonsese of have in service men line up when the president does not make sense. It feels like UNIP days when we used to line up for Kaunda just to wave. What a Joke !

  5. This nonsense of having service men line up to greet the president each time he travels does not make sense. What purpose does it serve? It is like UNIP days when we used to line up for Kaunda just to wave ? What a joke!

  6. Ba LT, Esther was not beaten by Blair, the boxing match ended up in a draw.
    Also have you noticed the difference between the low ranking officers in pic 11 and the higher ranking officers in pic 28.

  7. #9
    Iwe Mbuzi…, What do these service men do? They just get paid taxpayers money for doing nothing. As such, a few hours standing in the sun shouldn’t be a problem at all! Besides, its the norm everywhere, not just in UNIP days…

  8. The look on these defence chiefs i disturbing, you can see that these brothers are fed up of travelling to airtrips everytime RB is on his way for his rubbish campaigns. Who introduced this bullshi.t of lining up people at airports just to wave at the president?

  9. Boxing is not a sport. It is barbaric to put people in a ring and watch them brutalize each other. What is so sporty about blood and brain damage?

  10. Great pics, showing a rare side of Zambia which not even I have seen before…like pics #10 &11 – where else can you see officers in uniform praying hard like that? Other officers in some parts of the world are busy shooting hard instead.

    Pic #12 LT what on earth is a “Michael Jackson Look alive dancing?” sound like Indian English.

    Pic 18 Estala still has some female attraction despite the ripples of muscle on her caramel-skinned booty.

  11. #15 Ba Lottie Jnr. who said armpit shaving is obligatory? Just because natural, hairy bodies are detested in the West does not mean that we should also follow the trend.

  12. #21 where was that, you mean he could not find some one to service his ntwenokane and he died ninshi nabwima??? Nice pictures LT uyo umuguys alebeya amso mumapa

  13. #18 Esther Phiri must be told in no uncertain terms that she must shave her arm pits!

    The Generals look disgusting! RB might as well appoint them cabinet Ministers!

    #17 Mokola chose the right carear! Modelling is definately out for her!!

    #12 The late Micheal Jackson must have wept in his grave!

    #11 Ba police sure! Nangu kupepa. As if he has constipaption sure!!

  14. # 10 the guys in pic 28 just sit in the offices doing paper work whilst those in Pic 11 do the running. I was impressed with the ADC RB had in Western province not sure whether thats his usual one or he got a new one, the man looks mean and rough.

  15. Pic1/7 is very funny to me. Pic2 Zambia railways system is a sad story indeed. Pic12 Micheal Jacko ka. abalumendo tabomfwa lol

  16. Pic 28 their uniforms look horrible.and to make it worse the bodies worrying them just dont do any justice at all. mama

  17. I think LT is a branch yaba Matipa! I wish you also thot of “bringing politics to state fuctions!” in picture 1. Or was RB on a party trip

  18. malnourished skinny skelekelez  in pic#12 and fat,overweight madumboz in pic # 29…..Y cant there be a balance sure mwebantu?those who are over-paid dont do the chasing of thieves,those who are underpaid are the ones running after the criminals in hot october sun….life aint fair mwe!

  19. ‘Security personnel dragging a pitch evader’. mamamama!!! LT it’s INVADER not EVADER! To evade is to run away from or to avoid, a national newspaper surely you have proof readers.And to all you haters, Esther Phiri looks healthy! Not like a fat nsima hogger that you all revere…jeeez!
