Nice pictures, Zambian The Real Africa.
Pic. 9 chi mwaiche tachumfwa, admiring tu gelo?
Zambia in the Sun…!
The boys in pic 3 look like scrap metal. I like pic 18 – clever photography.
Solola Bye!
When Mushota pontas ati Mushota pontas,.. like this?!
in Kalikiliki you give some one K1, they will remember you for the rest of their life
The pictures from Kalikiliki are quite uninspiring just to say the least.Shows the struggles of a common child in zed and the gap between the have and the have not`s.We have a long way to go.
The question you should ask is “is this the way Zambia was in 1970”? If the answer is “it was better”?, then how do we get back. We do not have a long way to go, we have a short way to get back to and start building where we were 30 years ago.
Mo taim,
I concur with you totally, the pictures highlight the struggles the majority of Zambians have to endure while the Euro bond is being plundered by the privileged few.
How sad.. makes me feel guilty when I think about the blessings and privileges I have. Kids should ideally have it easy in life, the pictures are depressing. Could it help to establish as many skills training centres in such areas? Can we at least invest in proper infrastructure in these shanty compounds? We have the resources, but we lack the desire to change the status quo.
It is like that in 97% of countries in the world. So Kalikiliki is not exceptional.
go to India & then come back here to lecture about what you call the ‘gap btwn the have & the have-not’….you must be a typical example of umwana ushenda…..
Why is Amos Malupenga wearing a T-Shirt of POST Newspaper in Picture 25. Isn’t POST private media. Is that ethical?
I can understand the Minister wearing a MISA T-Shirt because MISA represents all media houses and NOT the POST Newspaper. This shows that Amos is still an employee of the POST and not a civil servant.
Irrelevant rant. Talk sense sometimes boss.
@Mech Engines. I totally agree with you. Mudala uyu chipumbu!
Great Observation. Is he still working for the Post and just hiding as PS for the Ministry of Information?
@mech engines…
mmd chief bootlicker is right, in fact very right.
But my eyes took my interest to picture 28, sakeni! poor sakeni a victim of chronic diarrhoea,, thats why he is now born again,, please people donot surprise when he speaks the truth,, sakeni is now born again
PIC 26 not pic 28
My question exactly. This sheds light on Malupenga’s behavior and attitude as PS.
Life in Zambia is very sad ayii…. These pictures have made my eyes wet, God please help us..
That is exactly the problem dear, you are waiting for God to help you. It just doesn’t work that way. If God really helps, then pagans like the Chinese would have been poor but they are ever giving us aid and getting richer and richer. Work hard and remove God from the equation. Do you really believe in God? I don’t…
@ The Analyst from Tokyo,
GOD has blessed the pegans too. He stated his blessings are over the good and the bad. The earth and all in it belong to GOD. Hardwork is rewarded it is stated in the Bible. Christians that only pray and don’t work will also want? A praying christian shall blessed a million fold if he works as well as prays and fasts.
@ Analyst from Tokyo… You have a valid point there… In the process of solving problems facing us, Zambians, we have taken on this habit of defering everything to Jesus or to God while we just sit and wait for the proverbial return of christ, well christ won’t return, and if carry on waiting, the only thing that will surely return is the colonial oppressor, with the excuse that we need him because we have failed to look after our country post independence. That being said, the pictures portray our condition; we mustn’t be too angry with ourselves, we are a young state with many tasks. We have done well so far given that we were unjustly held back for a long time. Alot of the E.U states and the U.S at a similar time in their developmnt were prob worse or the same as we are now. Youth…
God doesn’t work like that.You work very hard 1st then pray and He will bless your diligence.Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers,only pray for powers equal to your tasks.I certanly never pray for money,i only pray for vigour & mental fortitude to face my challenges to earn.
its quite unbelievable that people do survive in such environmental conditions,indeed God looks after his people…but its quite unacceptable to continue living like this!!The problem with us,Zambians, is that we have learned to adapt to such conditions,we have accepted this kind of living and r now reluctant! yes,we r reluctant and don’t really want to move out of it.I mean,do u want to improve in as much as you want to drink alcohol and sleep?? certainly NO.I mean,get yo hands dirty,work until you make your environment worth living in!!!…
So sad kwena ,those two boys in picture 3,mulingile ukuba ku school not ama scrap meatal ayo.
Ndeloleshafye.
kwa kalikiliki yaba why cant the government destroy those shanty compounds and take those people to a planned location, or give them farm blocks and give that kalikiliki land to investors who can develop IT cities on it??
thats a great idea bt th problem is wit th same pipo kaili they want to stay in the City lol! instead of them going to do farming. look at picture 6, somone wil evn blame th govnt why? shud th govnt start picking papers on each & evy door step in kalikiliki? its nt fair! som of th thing its our duty nt govnt’s.
No worries…sooner or later all those filthy poverty stricken slums will BE DEMOLISHED.
Meanwhile, in other parts of the world Indigenous people like the bushmen and Masai are being chased off their ancestral land to give way for ‘development’ what more in the cities.
Africa is changing very fast, nothing will ever be the same again!
Kalikiliki people are very enterprising, they are not sitting there in despair that is good.
Yabaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!! Ku Lusaka thats why mwandini thez politicians are wack they will soon start using thz same pipo in 2016…. shaaaaameee
Very dirty, why do they not clean their environment – It will not coast the anything.
Too many children – these guys need to stop breeding like rabbits.
On the whole, very sad that our people are still living in squalor and others are busy buying designer gear with tax payers money.
Pic 25 Ba Sakeni looks very sick
looks ill
Poverty!!!!!!!!!
ilikko bad,but hope is not lost..but then why is ps malupenga wearing post newspaper when he is a civil servant
Sad pics.The difference btwn poor Zed & rich countries is nothing is thoroughly,exhaustively,diligently & impeccably done in Zed.Not the dirty folks,the rds & the buildings.A muzungu will not allow themselves to live in such filth but your lazy african ass will do nada then cry ati poverty.
Forget those by-elections/bye-elections…avoid wasting time in fighting the opposition, please help the people shown, especially kids shown in the pictures above. Why are we going backwards when other countries are progressing? What is happening with our country? Cry our beloved country.
Fungo yanjala kwakalikiliki sure! Poverty is really growing in Zambia no wander people believed Sata when told them he will liberate them in 90 days. Hunger can cause you to do bad things such as stealing and making terrible decisions!
umuchisha cinani, unequal distribution of resources in our country. so sad to see these pictures.
Let me correct ya.Its a true distribution of our work ethic (not resources) Ask yourself why no asian or white zambians live like this.They’re simply more disciplined and more workaholic.
@Enka… I concur. We are lazy, too lazy and we like complaining all the time. Whoever works hard is a satanist! The only thing we are good at is analysing soccer and stupid politics while sipping on soup ya mbuzi! Pathetic
But Amos Malupenga’s head, it has a very strange shape mwe! He would easily pass for a Ghanaian. When xenophobia arrives in Zambia, he better be indoors.
I hear Zambia is more advanced than South Africa.
IFIKO
While agree with Lisa people also should be responsible how do you throw gabbage anyhow like that and you blame the govt honestly the govt be shud be coming door to door to pick your papers?compound people also are just dirty sometimes they shud take responsibility.but also govt shud come up with a plan and know how to collect the gabbage if it were to put it in the trash bags compared to europe am sure we have enough land to throw these malabish.anyway kwanu ni kwanu miss home though that kakomboni life ah at least they are happy than this european stress.
