  1. # 6 the placard being held by the guy of the far right says who let the dogs out. Are subtly agreeing to Mumbi’s comments.
    But on a serious note, while we should condem Mumbi if she indeed uttered those words, we should also point out that some of the reporting by the state-owned media is just utterly unbelievable.

  2. Bashi Thandi my thoughts exactly on pic no.6 only other comments I have are on pic no.4 – journalists obviously need to focus on improving their writing because their drawings are even more atrocious!!! and pic no.9 I really did not know Siwela was Lozi.

  3. i feel for these fake journalists.i think they were paid to match with this heat over a statement that was later clarified by the minister.what you are not doesn`t hurt you.Maybe there are…………………….

  4. “who Let The Dogs Out”
    shi shi shi-kapwasha!

    “who Let The Dogs Out”
    shi shi shi-kapwasha!

  5. These journalists have nothing better to do . Surely you go on a protest with shameful posters with drawings and obscene writings about someone hoping to achieve what exactly. If someone supposedly insults you and you respon with more insults you just prove the poibt that you are levels below the same person who insulted you. Have some integrity and dignified responses rather than infantile response demonstrations

  6. Pict 1 & 2. LT, you should ‘ve just published one picture, just like 11 & 13.
    The dog protest was a mere waste of time. What have they really achieved apart from being scorched by the heat & carrying useless & shameful placards.

  7. #3 Mrs Siwela is not Lozi, she is Tumbuka from eastern province not that matters anyways. Many Zambian regardless of where they come from, are adopting the Lozi style of dress as ‘national costume’. The irony being that the dress in question is actually a local copy of 19th century European dress similar to the ‘traditional’ dress of Herero women in Namibia which they copied from German missionaries. On another note, Siwela is the younger sister to the mother of Zambian author Dambisa Moyo.

  8. Evelyn Hone College should overhaul its Journalism Program, their graduates are pathetic.

    Reporters cant even spell or articulate. Even at reputable papers like The Post, the writing is very sub par. LT included.

  9. Pic # 9 Is that a greeting or a pose for the pic? Anyway, whatever LT calls it “ati in a receiving line” LOL!

  10. Hey Aussie dwellers, you can get the real and original red/solwezi beans from ‘get fresh’ supermarket.Just cooked some the other day and its great!!

  11. Imwe mwa banthu. Musiyeni chabe uyu Mumbi Phiri. Who doesnt make a mistake kanshi? Munthu achita apologise , imwee mukali upanga chongo.. are you after her blood?

  12. What about the Lusaka Times, did they also participate in the protest? I not am dissappinted by their Journalism ethics.

  13. # 14 I think you are pregnant with political consequences. I think you never wore a pitcot.

  14. #1and with all your respectable dick you believe what is written in the post?

  15. Pic 3-Kabonde must have had scared the shi.t out of that kid.I can see that he was crying.I could have had reacted in the same way if i was in the same situation coz that guys face is scary to say the least.Am sure the kid is still recovering from the trauma.
