  1. Pics 9,10 & 11 no wonder the trucks overturned. Is that really the state of bridge to be carrying such heavy loads? Otherwise nice pictures

  5. This why a federal system of governance is needed for people to rule themselves rather than taking resources from the province to build other places while the province lags behind in everything. That bridge is pathetic. I can’t understand why the truck overturned in pic 16. That is why we need heavy goods to be transported via railways.

  7. Pics 6 & 7
    Jose and his daughter should not be too excited because soon the same minister Edgar Lungu will deport the father (Jose).

  8. Pics 6 &7,why don’t the Angolans go back to their country? The civil war is ended and after all Angola seems to be more wealthier than Zambia. 

  10. So have all the Angolan refugees been given residency permits? in relations to the voluntary repatriation of which others decided to remain in Zambia.

  11. Pics #9,10,11 So we’re building a white elephant stadium in western province while vital bridges in zed are in such shape? Sports is non priority but such bridges are.

  21. The nkunika family in govt. The brother col.bizwayo nkunika is high commissioner to the UK,the other brother Hlobotaa nkunika is permanent secretary-northern province.

  23. IT’S A SHAME. YOU MEAN 50 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE NO ZAMBIAN CIVIL ENGINEER CAN DESIGN A PROPER BRIDGE AND CONSTRUCTED BY CREDIBLE CIVIL ENGINEERING COMPANY? WHAT I SEE ISN’T A BRIDGE WORTH THE NAME. EVEN VILLAGERS CAN DO A BETTER JOB.

  24. @20 PLEASE, REVIVE THESE TRADITIONAL DANCES. THAT’S THE REAL TOURISM. BE PROUD OF YOUR TRADITIONAL DANCES AND OTHER CULTURAL ELEMENTS LIKE SOUTH AFRICANS, OR AT LEAST THE WAY IT USED TO BE FEW DECADES AWAY. ON FRIDAYS MINERS USED TO ORGANISE IMBENI, AKALELA, ETC FOR THE EVENING AND WEEKEND ENJOYMENT. THESE ARE ELEMENTS OF OUR NATIONAL IDENTITY.

  25. What senseless destruction of expensive trucks which our country can ill-afford!! This just highlights the need for decentralisation. Small bridges like this should be maintained by local people, provided they can easily source funds. Instead, our politicians in Lusaka like to use every construction as a campaign opportunity. Therefore, they do not like to devolve anything to the local people.

  26. Pic3, 4 – Short-sleeved suit leave the male nurse alone!

    Pic 20 – Why would sweaty half naked dancers be performing in an eatery! Cafe B.S.

  29. Federal system of govt my foot! When the minerals hadn’t been discovered in Northwest there was no such talk. As a Lamba I will object because the copperr from lambaland has developed the whole country. We just need good governance

  30. I AM DEEPLY PROUD OF OUR FIRST LADY. AT LEAST AFTER (BETTY KAUNDA) A LONG TIME ZAMBIA IS HAVING A HIGH QUALITY FIRST LADY WHO CAN ABLY REPRESENT US WORLD WIDELY. NOT AMA FIRST LADIES YAFUMINEKO AYATUMA CHARITY, NO KUYA MUKUFOLESHA SALAULA. WE ARE NOW TALKING OF THE FIRST LADY (KASEBA) DISCUSSING REAL WORLD ISSUE WITH DEEP KNOWLEDGE AND AUTHORITY.

  31. PIX#3. POOR WORK CULTURE IN ZAMBIA AND THIS IS WHAT DEFRAUDS THE GOVT OUT OF MONEY IN TERMS OF LOST MAN HOURS. THE MAMBALA, THINKS BEING A NURSE-IN-CHARGE IS REPORTING LATE AT WORK AND FINISHING WORK BEFORE TIME. DON’T EVER PUT HIM IN AN ACTING POSITION, AGAIN. ALITUMPA.

    • Read the text at the bottom of the picture again it is not the nurse in-charge that was late but other medical personel and nursing staff, sot the Minister was just emphasising the time to report for work. The zedians have no work ethic at all, i love my country but to be honest this nonchalant attitude ticks me off.

  32. PIX#4, THE MINISTER OR IS IT PERM SEC IS POINTING AT A TROLEY IN A WRONG PLACE AND NO ONE IS REACTING TO PUT IT IN THE RIGHT PLACE. THEY ARE ALL JUST LOOKING. KUNUMA KA KABOKE NAKO KALEMONA FULU KALI SOLDIER. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS WORK CULTURE IN ZAMBIA IS JUST ACROSS THE BOARD.

  33. PIX#7, THAT’S NICE. EVEN THEIR FACES SHOW THAT THEY APPRECIATE VERY MUCH THE RESIDENCE PERMIT. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE TO GIVE SUCH DOCUMENTS.

  34. PIX#8. SHE IS A PRETTY GIRL. BUT EVERY PRETTINESS ON HER HAS BEEN RUBBED OFF BY ‘HER HAIR’ WHICH IS NOT HERS. IF SHE DIDN’T HAVE IT SHE WOULD HAVE LOOK A CONFIDENT AND PRETTY LADY. I AM YET TO SEE A WHITE WOMAN SHAVE ALL HER HAIR AND PUT ON A BLACK WOMAN’S HAIR, OR JUST ADD EXTENSIONS FROM A BLACK WOMAN’S HAIR.
