2012 Chakwela Makumbi Ceremony in Pictures

1. A great time to pray for rain. Just before the onset of the rain season. Why not pray for it in may so we can grow through out the year???????

   • Who wants rain in May?!

   • Nice one!!

   • Dodo!!!!!

2. Wow!Desperate for support, VP goes to all traditional ceremonies.52 weekends in a year divided into 75 tribes of zambia.When does he work?

   • lol

   • That’s his job too. 

3. Pic 5-Nkomesha kwena alifyala imbwembwe kwena.Hmm awe kwena…she looks like Masebo though.Pic 10-Mixing modernity with tradition.A slight crash of cultures there.Nice pics ba LT.

4. Pic 9, 10, 11, this chief so many latest gadgets , I-phone, Android Sumsung phone and I-PAD. I didn’t know that our chiefs are so sophisticated? What do they use these gadgets for apart from phoning and taking pictures?

   • utwakuchipata nga kacha

5. Ok, I am confused with the princess with the bad weave and sun glasses: the scary looking chief with the ipad, Guy Scott in an armchair, the Chieftainess with the Zulu headgear: the pool table, Njuga. Where is the tradition?

   • Imwenaimwe ikalenifye, muletasha, she looked cool, ngaimwe mumonekashani, aleni bikenipo foto yenu, elo tuchite kompeya, i dont like pipo who talkabout fake hair when it comes to a woman looking good, majelasiii? atase, if you got cash flaunt it, in this case, brazilian hair weave etc, i dont care, so shut it waumfwa?

   • Ba Nubian nififine.Walaimonapo chimo nelyo tapama.Bakolwe basekana ifipato

   • Ba Nubian nififine.Balaimonapo chimo nelyo tapaba.Bakolwe basekana ifipato

   • I hear you Nubian Princess!!!

   • Nice one

6. No tradition to talk about. All has been swallowed by modernity. Only the strong survive…not tuma tradition ati “chikwela clouds”, Go kwa hae, Monze, Eastern and Northwestern if you want to see tradition

7. WHAT IS THIS ENGLISH, “Vendors sifting through rumble…”, BA, LT. DID YOU MEAN RUBBLE. IF YOU MEANT RUBBISH- IT’S RUBBLE, IF YOU MEANT ANY FIERCE NOISE- THEN YOU ARE WRITE IT’S RUMBLE. BUT, THE GRAMMATICAL LOGIC DOESN’T POINT TO RUMBLE. LOOK FOR SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS ENGLISH. YOU AREN’T BLOGGERS TO BE CARELESS WITH WORDS. FOR BLOGGERS IT WOULDN’T MATTER MUCH.

   • You are write ? Your English leaves a lot to be desired too.Bakolwe basekana ifipato.

   • Chizungu guys. Right or write? Lemba chi lozi ngati vavuta vizungu.

8. Which one of the of the pf chieftainess’ daughters is the product of Bishop Mpundu’s loins?

9. How long does the Chakwela makumbi traditional ceremony take. I mean days, because I could see the Chieftainess Nkomeshya in two different attires on the same ceremony.

10. This is nothing but a grand display of soli prostitution. There is no tradition here.

    • Exactly my thought, they look like prostitutes.

11. why this time young girls are not shown with their tumabele out? Why masebo and Mwakalombe were absent?

    • You pervert

12. Anyone with the number of Princess Nkomeshya,the daughter to chieftainess Nkomesha?

    • NO.12 Her phone nr is +260248365755. She is yours, try hard man. You might get luck she is nice,

13. No 10 mabotu – Why are you bitter with every one.Leave our chieftainess and tribe alone. If you dont have a culture dont vent your frustration on the solis.We are peaceful people,loving and accommodating.That anger in you,one day will kill you.Learn to respect all cultures and this is the core foundation zambia was built on . Repent .:)>-

    • culture my foot!

14. #8 is a good depiction of how much poverty there is in Nkomeshas ‘kingdom’

    By the way, when did she invent this ‘traditional ceremony’? Was is inspired by some parliamentary bye-elections?

15. 9-11 tells you how technologically savvy Ngoni men are, and thats just a village chief.

    Obaba m’ngoni!

16. Pic 3: Guy Scott looking like he saying…”WTF am I doing here anyway?”

    Pic 5: Oh yes someone tell me if she’s married or not, if not I’ll marry her. If she is, I’ll still do her! Pics 6 and 7, this kama guy is trying to con who exactly? Pic 8: I thoung “njuga” is a card game? Am I wrong or what? Pic 9,10,11: this chap is just trying to show off, typical Zambian pose! Pic 12: is that pool table made of what looks like zenke? I like the innovativeness of these Zed chaps. Pic 20: both ladies on either side of teh chieftainess are very beautiful .Someone tell me their names…am going to Zed next month so I can look for either one to do. Pic 24 and 25, maybe that explains why she is dressed differently, maybe she fainted after praying…lol. mizimu!

17. Quite clear that most of these folks live in poverty while the royal household have their rear ends enjoy all the comforts.Whats the purpose of these outdated chiefdoms anyway since they don’t add value to the life of zambians?

18. @pic 17 Glad to see HRH Paramount Chief Mwene Mutondo of the Nkoya people maintaining our relationship with our Soli cousins.

    I am sure that many Zambians do not know that Nkoyas and Solis are related. We have only been separated by distance and the effects of colonialism.

    If anyone is in doubt, ask one of the organisers of the Kazanga ceremony of the Nkoya people Mr. Edwin Nkomeshya, even his name confirms the whole story.

    Long live Chieftainess Nkomeshya.

    • So, who cares?

19. Wow,huu ni ujinga mwingi sana sababu kuna umaskini kwa waSoli lakini mama Nkomeshya anatumia pesa nyingi kwa mambo haya.Seriously,discard this tradition its useless and do away with chiefs.Useless ceremony just for idlers.

20. You all just bitter, jealous and chocking with envy 

    • Its “choking” derived from the word “choke”.

21. Of pic 5

22. rubbish!!

23. # 20 “You all just bitter, jealous and chocking with envy”…..lol

24. ozanayo mungoni………..nkhosi ya makosi

25. NO.12 Her phone nr is +260248365755. She is yours, try hard man. You might get luck she is nice,

    • No. 12: Mwandi! Tekwesha! Ukafwa bwangu.

26. Zambians… is this ‘ukuponta’ (insulting) or democracy – right to express one’s bitterness?
