  1. Nice pic, manje picture #9 is that an office furniture sure? looks like mu garage and i can imagine Amos saying this chair should be out of this office right now the way he is pointing hahhahha. I like IG appointment by president Sata, thats really women empowerment in key positions.

    • Not women empowerment. Appointments are supposed to be done on merit. We have to talk of recognition of women’s capabilities. If its empowerment, then we are in danger of appointing ‘lemons’ just to empower.

    • You have made me laugh “saying this chair should be out of this office right now the way he is pointing ” ish thank you i needed that

  2. Pic 5,Is Augustine Seyuba failing to buy a decent TV for his office considering the number of years he served in the Corporate world as a Director? Sure a LED TV cant cost more than $1200

  3. Pic #1, Well, what can one say?
    Pics 3,4,5, Those caps don’t look right on women police officers, why not try a design like those worn by British female officers?
    Pics 11, 12, 13, That’s what we should be proud of in Zambia, youngsters being exposed to technology and progress. Very refreshing indeed.
    Pics 14 & 15, What a contrast to the last 3 pictures above, can that be called a sports stadium?

  4. Serious levels of desperation / innovation in pic 1. Such fellows would trade all their maize for a game of pool on a real pool table.

  5. Pic 18-Ka mayor ubunono.Tabakatalikafye sana aka mu council chamber ? Pic 20-Keep on doing your thing afunika.Love it..love it.

  6. ok na good pictures but me na ukwa na missing in na picture an mid week. me na not na happy ooooh.

  7. Pics 21 & 22, surely, we only dredge canals for the Kuomboka Ceremony and not for economic reasons!!!!!!???????

  8. This man Seyuba is really a chanser. He’s actually from Angola and how he has managed to manoeuvre in Zed is beyond me. In Zed anything goes.

    • Even in angola there are well known zedians who ve chanced more & become angolans both in govt & private some netting 30000+us$ per month.Hw much do u think Seyuba is gettin frm that job?

    • Lasten…you have just exposed you foolishness…God you never learn! You are currently in a foreign country…HELLO!

    • Would be interesting to see a picture of YOUR MOTHER! These women you are calling names are well educated and changing lives of Zambians…meanwhile you have brought sharm upon your mother by exposing her worthless labour by giving birth to fool.. YOU-CHI Kaponya!

  9. Given, Crocodile skin is big business in Europe. Bags , belts , shoes etc. we have had farms for years by private business to breed for export !!

  10. Those hats for our female officers look ludicrous…give them proper famine hats as worn by Europe and US law enforcements. 

    • Come brother Jay Jay (good times!) why discriminate against them? Its true they look somehow ludicrous but i guess the love job-comes with the job! I see chick cops here put on the small shit as them brothers! Its the bloody skrits i think they should get rid off!

  11. Come on Western Province pull your act together and improve your funiture and fittings (picture 9)…its not what the govt. should/can do for you but what you can do for yourselves…at least you have some technology coming your way in the last two pictures lol!

  12. Pic#1 – That pool table is awesome! The balls are impwa na kasongole. That is innovation a work.

    Pic#17 – Afcon cup dinner? Only Mosi was served.

  13. Someone corrects me, that pic number 1 has appeared somewhere featured as some other African country, Anyway, #creativityatitsbest

  14. To glare at something is to look at it angrily or with contempt, now why, LT, would that poor man in pic 16 look at the trophy in such a way?? Do you perhaps think he wished he had scored the winning goal? Sometimes sticking to simple use of the English language can make a story just as newsworthy as using – a lot better than misusing fancy words!!!!! GLARINGLY obvious I might add

  15. pic 6-8, Crocodiles??? umo bakamukokota, picture number 9- i can only see dilapidated infrastructure.

  16. wow ..pic #1 …very innovative… this is thinking outside the box or let me say throw the damn box and just think of the solution…well done guys….

  17. #1, there is no fair way of playing on that pool table. a touch embarrasing to be Zambian.

    #14, that waste land is what they call a ‘sports stadium’ in Kasama, and people here are always envious of monkies? If that is how their land is, then where do they take the money they steal…..i think this might be a lesson that stealing does not pay. Bemba’s all that theft now look at how desolate kasama is?

  18. Enjoying the pics and having a good laugh at the comments as usual. The living conditions may be rough but Zambians always manage to put a smile on their face. The people in the villages appear to be more contented than those in the city. The poor man’s heaven is the rich man’s hell.

  19. That is not the real trophy! It is a replica! Usually they have a couple of replicas for people to view and touch! Can you risk an expensive piece of kit, parading it in rural Zambia? Hell no!

  20. Western Province Deputy Commissioner of police Lilian Kamukosha with all her cases still going strong. History of stealing anyway bottom power/Ukwa family.

  21. Pic 1 proves that Zambian intellectuals are lazy. First pool made in Zambia by Zambians and a masterpiece. Intellectuals ninjobo fye. Awesome guys keep it up.

  22. Pic #1: As the saying goes, “an idle mind is the devil’s workshop,” at least you cannot accuse these guys of blacksmithing with the devil—hahahahaha—classic pic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  23. ….”That Libongani woman is almost as ugly as Nkandu Luo?” pwahahahahahahahaha @ Kaponya. You made my day man but Nkandu Luo awe shuwa

    Pic. 6. what the f.u.c.k.???

    Ok that has to be a replica cup. look @ pic 15 closely then make your own comments. There’s something unsettling about that picture.

  24. #39 that is not South Africa.One South Africans are light in complexion two, they colour their huts in bright colours three, south africans are not that creative.They would rather cry for a real pool table which they hope Mandela to donate or cry that they are previously disadvantaged and some guilty white guy would quickly donate a pool table.

  25. @ # 40my friend not all south africans are light in complextion and that pic is for long time i can prove u if u want.that from limpompo province and people from limpopo are dark just like zambians

  26. pic 13 – those school girls sure, am I the only 1 seeing a breast (bonnita) of the young girl? Amendo abaiche teacher kuti afunda?

    Kolokodailo farmer, those guys I think balikatako fimo (balipanda).

    Stadium mayo, is that a stadium sure?

    That AFCON trophy does not look real to me either, nowanda bena Katongo re na Renard were not accompaning…..thats national duty there clubs should let them free.

    Pic 1 – thats not Zambia ba LT, iyo photo yakale I saw it on BBC they said some parts on africa…..

    Augustine Seyuba for sure this guy is a chancer, he worked mu KCM, ZNBC now gvmnt eshii some chaps can be lucky iee?

  27. pic 13 – those school girls sure, am I the only 1 seeing a b.r.ea.st (bonnita) of the young girl? Amendo abaiche teacher kuti afunda?

    Kolokodailo farmer, those guys I think balikatako fimo (balipanda).

    Stadium mayo, is that a stadium sure?

    That A.FC.ON trophy does not look real to me either, nowanda bena Katongo re na Renard were not accompaning…..thats national duty there clubs should let them free.

    Pic 1 – thats not Zambia ba LT, iyo photo yakale I saw it on B.BC they said some parts on africa…..

    Augustine Seyuba for sure this guy is a chancer, he worked mu KC.M, ZN.BC now gvmnt eshii some chaps can be lucky iee?

    Thats Afunika ba LT not Akufuna.

    Thats Afunika ba LT not Akufuna!!!!!!

  29. Pic 21, I had no idea Govt had this machinery. After western province, can it be taken to the copperbelt to sort out amatete that are chocking the Kafue river?

  30. # 52 it’s quite the oposite; it just shows how clever and a show case of their ingenuity.

    You and I see how kids in the diaspora waste time either on PS3 or Xbox all day long or complain that there is nothing to do, but the kids in the picture didn’t. They went out and built a pool table…out of mad!

    It reminds me of how my brother and I made wire cars – I think it’s brilliant!

  31. Picture 1: now that’s proper use of one’s imagination. The villager that made it deserves an award and perhaps some sort of scholarship. Who knows, these village pool players could actually be untapped geniuses and inventors. Brilliant!

    • @5.1 Munsanje, apparently we’re not ‘backwards’ , but just poor. we cannot afford a pool table for the guys in pic 1. Been backwards would have meant not knowing what a pool table is and not having any means of making one…like the case of the bottle in ‘the gods must be crazy’. Those techs in pic 1 surely know what a pool table is and have made one, lol!

  32. The pictures and the comments are Gold… just brilliant!
    Have to agree Pic # 1 is creativity at its best… probably not ‘innovation’ or ‘invention’ since the idea of a pool table is not new. Either great stuff.

    @ Nubian: ‘The balls are impwa na kasongole’; ‘ kolokodailo’… hahaha, amazing sense of humour :)

    I didn’t know Crocs could be termed like that… I would be shyt scared standing next to those man eaters :(
