  1. Not quite a busy week but always good to see the positive things going on at home. I’m sure the camera man is already in the field to capture the highlights of the Christmas Events. Cant wait for Monday to come…

  2. Awe ba Kaunda bale bachushafye mwe, let the old man rest please. A dummie is supposed to be where he has been let to sit. Its just my concern.

  3. Pic #7 – White Nativity Scene.

    No wonder Africans are so twisted. The only role models that are thrown in your faces are white. African women even go so far as glueing on fake hair and bleaching their skins. I think I am going to puke now.

  4. Pic 5- the lady right in the center is not only strategically located but looks more a first lady relatively. Pic 2 – only got reminded of a centipede which I havnt seen for ages now. Zesco’s performance is not impressive, hope this was the problem which now has been solved. MERRY XMAS to you all and please celebrate responsibly.

  5. #4 Zimandola, I feel exactly the same way too. Why should our most honourable citizen and Founder of The Nation be reduced to play the role of Santa Claus? In any case, what does Santa know about “Ubuntungwa” and “Cha Cha Cha?”

  6. The Santa job should have gone to a person in need to help him/her out as the spirit of christmas entails us to give and celebrate christ’ birth as one. Its not surprising even the gifts were not going to the needy….

  7. People, when did grandpa Ken get “red carded” from spreading Christmas cheers and smiles to children?

    I think it is cool that at his age he still has a sense of humor to wear that woeful looking Santa suit and parade himself in public (LOL). The man loves young people (children), and it is about time someone of his stature began dismantling this sort of “cult” personality most African former and current heads of state ingratiate themselves in.

    I say GO, BIG KEN, GO!! At your age, atleast your are not just sitting at home waiting for your creator to call you yonder.

  8. pic # 4. Its not children who go to Arcades with their parents for shopping that needed a Christmas present, these children have what they need already (shopping at Arcades). It is the children in Kalingalinga, Mtendere, Chibolya, etc who needed a christmas present. Jesus was born in poor conditions, not high class!! It would have made more sense if KK went to one of the shanties!!!!!!

  9. Napapa Sana you are spot on!KK at Arcades for the rich is like taking sand to the beach.He should surely have gone to one of the shanty compounds to make some meaningfull change to the needy.Nine Chale and Zimandola,there is nothing wrong with KK doing a little humor

  10. Papa KK,all the best long live. You are the man.May God bless you and add more years to your life.May He bless all those who are dear to you.Its nice to see big people like you touching the ground.I mean coming closer to the young ones.

  11. I THINK KK DID A GOOD THING… NOT FORGETTING THAT WE REMOVED HIM FROM STATE HOUSE THAT YEAR AND HE HAS TO THINK OF THINGS TO DO AS DAYS GO BY VERY SOON IT WILL BE HIS BOYS TURN TO LEAVE STATE HOUSE ZAMBIANS LTES WORK ON THIS ONE WE HAVE DONE BEFORE

  12. 13, Kaili they want to show their corporate social responsibility…, although they can do better than that 31million!

  13. His place of birth not withstanding, I sure hope Jesus Christ whose birth we are now celebrating did not only born and die for the poor alone. God knows the “rich”, or at least those some of you consider rich (simply by virtual of shopping at the Arcades), need Jesus’ cheers that comes with the celebrations of his birth just as much as the “poor”.

    JUDGE NOT! the good book (the bible) cautions us all.

  14. My understandin was that the power generator to be installed at the Leopards Hill sub-station is a replacement of the one that burnt down, what plans are there for backup generators? Why is one of those not so impressive looking gizmos making such a big deal? I guess I just don’t get it. Will privatization of the electric company improve services? Maybe some competition will do us some good.

  15. Ba Kaunda is also a dramatist how do you dress like this we mukulu, bansebanya tu my Desk mate who identified him as soon as I scrolled to his pic, he said this must be KK your first President? and I said yes
