    Those pictures are not a good advert for your country, anytime someone is asking for a job for an international job, a lot of people like myself have in the past hidden from confessing I was zambian because the country is unknown, poor, and you are not thought of as elite in the UK

    These pictures personifies that, please LT remove them in the interest of the elite who shy our and claim we aren’t Zambians because of them. Terrible advert for the country

    I know I will be British soon, but please…

    I am cringing and I am not goading anyone by the way, just positioning myself as the seeker of truth and justice as per my education and my fiancé’s expectation of myself and soon mother to be
    Thanks

    • UK is undergoing a depression. Zambia is undergiong a boom. U r 4 decades late to become british. The great in “great Britain”is now an but an empty slogan. Eat all the kfc, mcDonald, have 100 credit cards in your wallet but when u visit zambia, all your peers will be well off.

    • That picture was taken about 2 years ago! PF has inherited a huge problem and I think they have the will to tackle it.

  7. BA LT ALMOST ALL THE TITLES ON THESE PICTURES ARE WRONGLY WRITTEN. WHAT KIND OF ENGLISH DO YOU USE. I AM SUPRISED, AS IF YOUR ARE WRITING FOR PEOPLE WHO HAS NEVER STEPED IN CLASS. ALL THE TITLES HAVE WRONG SPELLINGS. HOW FAR HAVE YOU GONE WITH YOUR EDUCATION? MAYBE WE CAN FORGIVE YOU IF WE KNOW YOUR GRADES.

    • Kanowene,
      You are also poor at spelling and grammar, the correct spelling is ‘surprised’ and ‘stepped’ and it should be ‘People who ‘have’ never ………

  8. I know that one day given chance HH will bring jubilation, unite, equity, hardworking ,pride etc to our mother Zambia just like our Zambian national team did in the last AFCON tornament. Viva one Zambia One Nation.

  9. RB was a true statesman. Look at him ‘sharing a light’ moment with Mrs Sata to the chagrin
    of Mr Sata.Pic 26 award winning dental formula

  10. PIC # 3 CHILD LABOR… ULUSE
    PIC # 11 THAT THIGH FOR THE COP…NI CHOKAKO WEKA
    PIC # 15 A WHOLE BATH TUB IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC…ILIKO BAD MWE
    PIC # 27 I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE GOOD FOOD IN THOSE DISHES.. CHIKANDA, BUSH MEAT, DRIED FISH, IMPWA, FISASHI, FINKUBALA, UBOWA NA KABWALI ELO NA KA COLD ZOZO TO WASH IT DOWN WITH. CANT BEAT THAT…

  11. As a point of observation, ba LT imwe, your caption don’t quite go with the actual picture. Who’s doing the caption on these photos please?
    Better you don’t even write anything, we can pretty much figure what’s going on. Or atleast make it more fun and let us come up with our own captions. Sha!

  12. I remember vividly days before the 2011 elections, Senior Citizen (arguably, the most prolific blogger of all times) sent clarion calls on this site, warning the Zambian electorates about Mr. Sata.MMD Chief Bootlicker-an H.V.T on this site (High Value Target) also warned the Zambian electorates about Mr.Sata’s knee jerk behavior. As though that were not enough, Chanda the III on ZNBC TV with smoking guns categorically explained how Mr.Sata was going to mess up Zambia. Every Zambian worth their salt who attended Mr.Sata’s rallies saw how we the electorates were treated to non-stop comedy; Sata never gave a road map-a clear cart manifestation of how he was going to improve Zambia…

  13. The Zambians as usual elected not to heed these intelligent men’s advice as well as theirs! Today, the Americans want to kick out Obama simply because the economy is in shambles-they have a mammoth debt. On the other hand prior to Zambia’s 2011 elections, the Zambian economy was doing just fine-with a surplus in the coffers. Ironically, the Zambian electorates kicked out a government that was doing fine-un heard off occurrence on this planet! How on earth do you vote out a government that is doing fine. This defies all logic!
    Some of us who have been outside, understand Mushota’s frustrations, she can’t understand how in the hell her country is poor and just by how many times she vents her anger on LT speaks volumes of how she wants a better Zambia…

  14. As a matter of fact, to be born in Zambia is not your fault; to remain in Zambia definitely that is your fault! Just how do you live in a country like Zambia? We in the diaspora especially from Papúa-Nueva Guinea are tired of receiving those shenanigans messages from poor Zambians asking for money. You had your opportunity in the 2011 elections and you blew it. Zambians, adapt or die!
    NO REMORSE!

  15. ”To be born in Zambia is not your fault; to remain in Zambia definitely that is your fault! Just how do you live in a country like Zambia?”-Kalush Bwalya

  16. Ba LT please, Pic No.4 it’s supposed to be meting out punishment, and not ‘mating’. Or are you saying these guys are a bunch of homosexuals?    

  17. Picture # 5
    That picture was taken about 2 years ago! PF has inherited a huge problem and I think they have the will to tackle it.

  18. Some Zambians Claim to be ashamed of being zambian but are forever reading and commenting on LT.  F@#K Off if you hate our country and don’t visit this website.
