  3. ba LT Can you please keep some of these pictures for generations to come. It will be important for future generations to know that Zambia had great leaders like Hon. Chishimba Kambwili MP. Hopefully for once Gonclaves, Umupondo, Beleg, jojo and Voodoo will agree with me. These 5 uncircumcised dunderheads are always very argumentative and extremely cheeky.

  4. what post does the first lady hold in Zambian politics? Pic 14, was that lady whistling or hululating? I thing its time for the first republic president to get a good rest, PF stop using him to gain popularity.

    • Its good for him. Total retirement is not healthy. He needs to feel useful, remember hes a widower now and very lonely. He may just die if left alone and we dont want that.

  5. LT, thank you so much for offering me a job, writing articles I am extremely flattered BUT
    I am afraid I can’t unless the salary is better than what you 
    Are offering
    Awaiting your response in my email

    Thanks

  6. 14-16, Good exercise for the old man but surely there must be ways of helping him when he has to walk at  a function. What about providing him with  a wheel chair or just leaving him behind at home?

  7. Well done Mr President and thank you for giving Honour were its due  a tribute to a great Father of our nation HE  Dr Kenneth Kaunda….long Live!

  8. GENTLEMEN PLEASE ADVISE ON THE ROLE OF KAUNDA THESE DAYS LOCALLY HERE IN ZAMBIA.
    OR IS JUST TRYING TO COMFORT ?

  9. #4 BLESSINGS, I COULDN’T AGREE MORE WITH YOU. IN FACT I HAVE BEEN SO DISAPPOINTED BY THE ZAMBIA INFORMATION SERVICE- ZIS WHO HAVE NOT KEPT ANY OR JUST FEW OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PICTURES AND VIDEOS OF ZAMBIA NOTABLE MEN AND WOMEN. FOR INSTANCE, ASK ZIS ABOUT MUKANDAWIRE’S OR PETER CHIPANGO’S DANCE PERFORMANCES YOU WILL BE LUCKY IF THEY WILL EVEN BE ABLE TO PRODUCE A PICTURE ABOUT THESE MEN. THERE’S ALSO THE CHITWANSOMBO MEN AND WOMEN DRUMMERS AND SINGERS. THEY CAN’T GIVE YOU A FULL VERSION OF THEIR PERFORMANCES. AND THESE ARE THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO MOVED WITH KK AT HOME AND ABROAD AND THE PRAISE SONGS THEY USED TO SING SHOULD BY DEFAULT BE IN THE ZIS ARCHIVES ON VIDEO.

  10. from#19 THE OTHER DAY I WAS TRYING TO GOOGLE FOR THE FULL VERSION OF AKALELA, IMBENI, FWEMBA AND OTHER ZAMBIAN TRADITIONAL DANCES AND YET WHAT I FOUND WAS JUST NONSENSE. REALLY, WE SHOULD BE HAVING FULL VERSIONS OF PROFESSIONALLY PREPARED FILMS/VIDEOS OF THESE GREAT MEN OF ZAMBIA. MUKANDAWIRE WAS EVEN ON STAMPS- HOW DOES ONE IGNORE SUCH A PERSON. MONUMENTS/STATUES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ERECTED FOR THESE…

    • Put it up yourself kaili. This culture of always wishing and waiting for Somebody to do something for you is not good.

  11. from #20…GALLANT MEN AND WOMEN. THIS IS PART OF TOURISM AND HERITAGE. YOU CAN’T BE SHREDDING HISTORY JUST LIKE THAT. PLEASE, LET’S ARCHIVE ALL OUR ZAMBIAN OCCURENCES/INSTANCES FOR ANY FUTURE REFERENCES AND FOR TOURISM AND EDUCATION.

  12. #10, I DON’T AGREE WITH YOU. KK ENJOYS TRAVELING JUST LIKE ANY OTHER PERSON. IN FACT SATA IS DOING A GREAT JOB INVITING HIM TO SUCH FUNCTIONS AND ALSO SENDING HIM ABROAD FOR OTHER EQUALLY IMPORTANT ENGAGEMENTS. MIND YOU KK IS NOW MUKAMFWILWA. HE NEEDS TO BE GOING OUT THERE TO MIX WITH OTHER PEOPLE INSTEAD OF REMAINING HOME ALL THE TIME JUST THINKING ABOUT HIS LATE BELOVED WIFE. KK, ENJOYS SUCH THINGS AND SO LEAVE KK AND SATA ALONE. SATA KNOWS THE GOOD IS DOING TO KK.

  13. PIC 1 I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY EVERYONE IS CONCENTRATING ON DR KASEBA. CNT YOU ALL SEE THE SECXY WHITE WOMAN IN BAKKGROUND? WHITE WOMEN BETTER LOOKIN THA BLACK WOMEN.I LOVE MY WHITE WIFE

    • I think you and Mushota should talk. And everyone’s got there preferences, one isn’t better than the other.

  14. BA CHISHIMBA KAMBWILI MUKA CITEKO SENSOR KA FRONT LINE. KAYA SANA. AS A MINISTER OF SPORT YOU SHOULD BE LEADING BY EXAMPLE. PLEASE, START ATTENDING GYM AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK. AKOKALUFUMO KA SHEKISHEKI CAN BE TRIMMED. UKWIMITA ABAUME IS NOW OUT OF FASHION, SIR. LEAVE UKWIMITA FOR WOMEN.

  15. THE CEILING FOR THE (UNZA) DINING HALL IS TOO LOW FOR IT TO BE PASSED BY HEATHY AND SAFETY. BA ARCHITECTUAL ENGINEER, DID YOU REALLY THINK THAT THAT WAS A DOMESTIC HOUSE? DIFFERENTIATE A DOMESTIC HOUSE FROM A COMMERCIAL ONE.

  16. YAAH!! I MISS YAMA YAKU ZAMBIA, MEN. I AM TALKING ABOUT THE REAL ORGANIC BEEF THE CHEFS ARE DICING IN THE KITCHEN. I CAN EVEN IMAGINE IT’S TASTE. NOT THE MASS-PRODUCED RUBBERS WE EAT IN THESE DEVELOPED COUNTRIES.

  17. AT THE END OF THE DAY I THINK I LIKE CHISHIMBA KAMBWILI. I THINK HE’S ONE OF THE FEW HARD-WORKING MEN IN PF GOVERNMENT. KEEP IT UP, SIR.

  18. This is a great President.
    Out of his own pocket he has given the money for the 1 Mega Watt Hydroelectric power station. Iye, twatotela ba kateka pakutupela amalaiti!
    In Zambia, we are always grateful when a President does what he was elected to do. We don’t expect that.

  19. Hey, hey YOU. Do YOU not know how to use the CAPS lock key? Yes YOU. For f.u.c.k sake, YOU don’t need to be screaming ever damn time. Perhaps YOU don’t know that YOU are? Somebody please tell him!

    • To be honest I get put off and do not read articles where the CAPS lock is unnecessarily applied.

  20. About pic1- LT, you just had to put that one up first huh? You little teaser you! Pic2 -Something about Dr. Kaseba that I like. Still can’t put my finger on it. Lol. pic 7,8 & 16 -nice to see super Ken out and about, must be theraputic to keep busy and healthy. Keep it up pops! Pic13 – hero worshiping is a serious problem in Zambia. Pic20, I think bakateka should fire the person who either tailors his clothes or picks his wardrobe. I doubt ba Kaseba dresses him. Pics 30 & 32, I look foward to the day Kambwili finds his elusive neck. Yaba.

  21. Pic2. something about Dr. Kaseba that I like…still can’t put my finger on it though. Pic 8, 14 & 16. nice to see super Ken getting out and about. Must be very theraputic for you big man, keep strong and God bless you!!!!!
    Now pic13, hero worshiping is a real issue in Zambia. Pic20 the person who tailors or picks out Sata’s clothes should be fired. I strongly doubt ba Kaseba does it! Pic 30 & 32- the day Kambwili finds his neck will be a joyous day!

  22. If these comments about pic #1 continue I fear Aka could lose his job and get deported to Barotseland.

  23. Picture 4;Go well Emmanuel Chuunda you were my deputy head master at Mighty Mukuba Secondary School in Kitwe,You were also Dean of Students at CBU.Go well till we meet again.LT thanks for informing us about the demise of the great son of Kwacha Township in Kitwe in particular and Zambia in general.You really our inspiration both at Might Mukuba and CBU as well.

  24. Too many politicians pics led by the disaster that is MCS and not enough of regular zambians.Pics #4,22,23 and 31 should be the standard for LT readers to gauge whether the fools in power are delivering.

  25. I’m actually impressed with the sport complex. i think let give sata that benefit of doubt. things might improve.

  26. Oh dear,ministers Chishimba Kambwili and Yamfwa Mukanga please take care of your health and lose some weight.Obesity is a dangerous precursor to a lot of ailments so take care of your health guys.

  27. @ 31, The Saint, Please don’t lie to people. This was financed by UNIDO, ZESCO only contributed logistics (transportation and government support). Don’t comment and think, we are all blind. Comment with facts. By the way, this project started way before HE Sata was in State House.

    In short, stop lying

  28. This might sound a little personal, but when was the last time Hon Kambwili saw his phalic member without using a mirror?

  29. Why take funerals to school halls?  I have great respect for the departed, and in this case I know the departed gentleman but I still think schools should be left alone.

  30. 100 PHOTOS OF SATA & HENCHMEN, NOT EVEN 1 PHOTO OF THE HYDRO-POWER STATION. WHO IS THE FOCUS? THE POWER STATION OR SATA? AFTER ALL IT WAS RB WHO STARTED THIS PROJECT. NXAAAAAA!!!

  31. Where the heck is the Mini – hydro power station mr “backward journalist photoeditor”….. the misplacemet of priorities by this *****ic journalist shows how outdated my people’s software (a.k.a. bongobongo) has become… i.e. the reason my Zambia is going nowhere fast!
