  1. Please KK and RB be kind enough as to bring me some specimen if you find some remains … strange though , RB never mentioned the late football heroes during his time as a president.

  2. @Pathologist….IF you have DSTV, watch a documentary called Football Phoenix and you will have your answer. Or try asking who is behind Chiparamba academy. He is not lip service but real action man.

  3. Please just ignore Mushota. She, sorry, he is considered the attention seeking “village idiot” by the usual crowd here.

  4. I hope the result for zambia will reconcile and tone down the differences in the political arena

  5. There is someone who is jealous on this blog. Congratulations KK and Banda the boys have done it.

  6. There’s a popular theory in political science that certain leaders are able to tap into latent “ethnosymbolism” — the unconscious evocation of a nation’s character through looks, clothes, mannerisms, etc. KK is such a person, wise choice to lead the Zambian delegation at AFCON 2012

  7. I wish the widows were included too. Thank you God for giving Sata the wisdom to include RB in the delegation to bring back the champs and the trophy.

  8. The nation is united in this victory. Mr. Sata let this signal a new beginning. Appoint an all inclusive cabinet, not balancing brains, all areas in Zambian are brainy and please engage the chiefs and all stakeholders on the Chirundu and Itezhi-tezhi issue. You are a president of all Zambians, you do not need to threaten any one with arrests. Please do not discuss your plan on these two districts through the press. The chief fear they are about to lose areas under their jurisdiction. Please explain your vision. God bless

  9. THANK YOU THAT IS WHY WE WON. I LOVE AND PROUD OF ALL ZAMBIANS. WE ARE A STRONG PEOPLE TOGETHER WE STAND.

  10. Twaliponona Ba Ivory Coast ichikombe twajanda. Baletuseka nomba tuleseka. Well done boys, now we need to qualify to the word cup. FAZ and govt give Renard a nice salary so that he stays and takes us to the world cup. Kamanga and simataa simataa mwanyala ba koswe. you wanted to spoil it for us you losers. Great Kalu well done. lead this association to even higher hights. Presido Sata pump money into infrastructure so that we host the Africa cup. They will give it to us now that we are champions. All my fellow soccer lovers, addent fans who held their breath with me in the final minutes, clinched their fists or squeezed their balls a little just so Gervinhio could miss, all those that said a prayer or two, to you all i say congratulations. BA ZAMBIA IYEEEEE>>>>BA ZAMBIA CHIPOLOPOLO….

  11. jon Posted on Swinging Bridges was the first hike I ever did on Maui, nearly 15 years ago. At the time I didn’t even rleziae there was any hiking on Maui. Back then I was very much the What why would you ever walk AWAY from the beach? mentality don’t get me wrong I love the ocean more than anything, but Maui’s got variety and it’s nice to explore.
