  1. The young are dying trying to find jobs while the old are hanging on to jobs even when their hour to retire has come.

  2. Surprising that the president has not been to Mpulungu to offer condolences to the families of those who perished because he failed to fulfil his promise of more jobs in 90 DAYS! Instead, he is spending time with dictators and chewing our money. Thank God Ukwa is to old to be able to be president for 30 odd years like his counterparts in Zim and Angola.

  3. Andrew Banda’s big nose weighs down his face, that’s why he has saggy skin on his cheeks. He should have done a facelift with all that money he has – Moron

  4. PIC No 8, I belive the Angolan Foreign Ministers name is “Chikoti” and not “Chicoty”. Pictures 17 & 18. HEMCS & RGM seem to be hitting it off quite a bit. Appears they can’t get enough of each other of late.

  5. Imagine President Dos Santos is still president of Oil rich Angola, no wonder his family is among the richest on the continent….Its funny now the Guardian Newspaper UK is calling Mr Sata; Mugabe’s “political ally”….Sata should mind his distance to Uncle Bob, as its his lieutenants are the ones who are busy mopping up his mess when they are abroad trying to woo foreign investors.    

  6. # 10 Mandela once said you cannot tell us who must be our friend and who shouldn’t! What is wrong with you guys? Zambia and Zimbabwe are one “country.”

  7. I don’t understand the reverse!I mean how the hell do you have sex with just one partner?
    Why do you want to do anything…play cards,go sailing,go fishing… whatever with just one person?Because if you love someone you set them free.Ain’t there beutiful people you look at,
    you just want to feel their lips on yours,the taste of someone’s tongue,the pleasure of someone’s orgasm,don’t you want that?…

  8. …People who want to do play cards,go sailing,go fishing… whatever with just one person are jealous people and don’t love that particular person because if you love someone you set them free!MOst of the people who will read this their first reaction will be to reject this piece of literature simply because their brain is socially programed to behave in a specific way,you know like computers; Window xp and Window Vista are programmed to decode certain programes and certain programes not.I know that our past makes us who we are,but we should not make it our burden.We need a revolution in the way we think…we must not become what our societies expect us to be,we must become what we want to be,after all, if there is one thing I know I know that I will die!
    Thanks

    • No this in Andrew. Henry, Chipolopolo but a man doesn’t need tobe handsome to get whomever he wants. Are you really Ex Zitoon?

  9. Pic #16: The Presidential Villa in Angola needs a grounds keeper. Somebody find them a horse pipe and some manure.

  10. Sata’s policeman is too fat – too much good milile – how will he protect the presido if there was an assasination attempt????????

  11. @mushota…we are watching pics,but your line of story has lost me,what do you want to say….are you horny or what?

  12. Mushota is 19 month expectant after cool cheater. The name of the airport sounds bizzare, does anyway understand why it was named this way?

  13. Pics 1 -3 Very sad. When people start dying while trying to get jobs, then you know how bad the situation is.

    Pics 4 – 7 Andrew Banda, is this a laughing matter? I never saw a suspect so delighted to sign his documents of arrest!

    Pics 8 – 18 In the name of God, let our president travel to our neighbours and interact with their leaders like ALL other presidents do! Zimbabwe is also our neighbour and so dialogue with Mugabe is necessary! Spot on #13 ata!How long will we let Britain push us around and dictate to us who to par with? Western leaders ALL interact and dialogue at their G7 summits despite their numerous diferences. Do we ever tell them to avoid certain leaders?

  14. @Exhaust Blown Diffuser
    I noticed the interior design too! Good eyes.
    Sad for the people that lost their lives in Mpulungu. MTSRIP.

    Its all good and true but you shouldn’t be going to the west with begging bowl in hand and then next cozing up uncle Bob who is busy insulting them. You can’t have it both ways, RSA isn’t as dependent on them as Zambia is.
    Why do you think Guy Scott was in London last month? Why do think he was on BBC HARDTalk?
    Let’s be realistic..

  16. The west also befriended bin ladden and kadaffi before they murdered them. so whats this thing of the west choosing zambias’ friends.

    • Your point being??? Whatever the problems were between the Colonel and the West … corrupt African leaders benefited…FYI they are happy he is gone as the debts due to him have been written off.

  17. Smile yakwa Andrew, it says a lot. It seems as if he’s saying ‘this is not going anywhere’. No wonder the Judiciary needs to be cleansed. Andrew seems to know the outcome of his case, that there are some remnants from the previous government in the Judicial system that are going to try his case and it will come to nothing.

  18. Dos Santos never received Sata a foreign minister was enough. Zambia is degraded among African countries that once held Zambia in high esteem. The big issue is current midocre leadership and governmnet.

  19. I like this Andrew Banda guy he looks like he is a people person with good people skills.The Post had a picture of him even shaking a guards hand.He must make a good diplomat.Well done to R.B

  20. I knew it !!! I knew it !!!I knew it !!!!!.

    Ka mushota nikahule!!! thats how she got where she is now. Just imagine her thinking, YAUHULE CHABE . Iwe kamuntu we are not mokeys yakuti upwanya pwanya chabe. We have morals and decencey can you imagine how devastated your ntwanikane would be if 10 guys with hot rods kweshad you. ka hule kakantu iwe SHAA !!!

  21. No 28, the reason for not receiving Sata at the airport has to do with personal security of Santos. He has never received visitors at the airport for a long time now. As you may be aware, been battling an insergence for more than two decades, so he has good advisers. Note that Kaunda had the same level of security awareness when we had liberation struggles within our our region. Security is not cheap.

  22. Sad moments in Mpulungu in the midst of wonderful joyous inspiring leader in the name of Sata, Eduardo & Robert.

  23. PIC 1 poverty is so evident on the faces of the people. Still beats me how a country with a lot of natural resources and a population less than 20 million has more than half its people living in abject poverty. 

  24. Angola, zimbabwe, Zambia why is it that you are so adicted to old chaps. Let these chaps go to rest and die in peace. send them to there villages.
    You chaps whant to continue being ruled by your grand fathers. These chaps can not even use a a phone, let alone a computor. No wonder poverty is the talk of the day. workup.

  25. It matters less if the UK demonises Bob Mugabe. But Zim is our neighbour, we interact everyday. We use Zim to go to South Africa. We have our peoples trading and interacting everyday. We can not be smeared Mugabe’s “sins” with Britain on the basis that we recognise him as The President of Zim and therefore Chief Executive Officer of the nation we bitch with everyday.

  26. #38 Angolans and people in other parts of Africa spell their names the way their colonial masters taught them to spell them. It is Chicoty because that’s how it has been spelt in that part of Angola for generations. In Senegal Sanya is spelt Sagna because that is how the French taught them to spell it.

  27. I envy Mugabe for his courage of standing by his principles.. the western world are too canning sometimes and we need such leaders like Mugabe to hit back.. ba Sata i think venom yalikama…!

    • You mean cave. I know you have too much on your mind with your PhD studies and all. I agree the other “Mushota” from the pacific ocean islands is a moron, don’t mink we know by the flag.

  28. #41 How can smart inteligent, young, handsome HH envy Ukwa who has very few teeth remaining in the mouth, struggling lungs etc. too old to enjoy state house?? You are indeed disillusioned. It took Ukwa 10 years to become president, HH has age and time on his side 2016 is HH’s God will see to it, he has what it takes to turn Zed around, just wait and see…

  29. @44 Another Mushota,
    Take it easy… you are not the only ‘Mushota’ there is in the world. I thought with all your claims of being educated you would know this, silly.
