Taking pictures when the economy suffers? You the media have a responsibility to highlight the plight of the people.

  Kabiye uko! You just want them to report on the negatives all
  The time. Silu iwe! Chi UPND cadre! Theyve reported on Electricity issue with the very first picture, cant you see CBU students leaving the school…arent those problems we are facing?? Shut up tribalist party member!!

  Judging by the comments here, Zambia will remain third world forever. You are all miserable and very dull people who have no idea what innovation, strategic planning or common sense is.
  
  Keep on passing your grade 2 comments while the world moves on and progresses.

  Why should they not take pictures? you are just jealousy and you wish it was your HH loser in the pictures as President.
  
  The humble are lifted the haughty and proud brought down. These are simple life lessons.
  
  The harder HH tries, the harder he fails.

  But ku Malawi ni bakamushi heeeeh, even Edgar had to shine there?? If we took our Libongani’s ZP to those jumping ring of fire like grade 4s, they can be kicked their asses!! Ask UPND how they get smacked by ZP.
- FuManchu July 11, 2015 At 4:54 am
  
  Nostradamus you may call the Malawians “bakamushi” but their literacy level far outstrips Zambia’s let alone their development index! See the female police officer picture 4 with secret service gadget to her head and armor! Rural Malawi villages have infrastructure incomparable to the squalor one encounters in Zambia. I guess its because they started on a right footing with a very educated though despot president who invested in education such that quality leadership continues to be respected. What do we have in Zambia? Cadre leadership and abhorrence of the educated! Be reminded of Edward Shamwana SC (MHSRIP) when he suggested upping the educational level by a bare minimum at the time of those intending to join the house. He was nearly crucified now we are reaping the short…

  Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari just cancelled an order for a brand-new fleet of armored mercs for him by the federal government…do you think our weak lazy leader like the bum Edgar in Statehouse can do that?
- Yebo Nkhosi July 11, 2015 At 2:30 pm
  
  EL has not even attempted to order such vehicles nor has the government. So you question lacks merit. Can you predict how many time you will go the toilet today. If you cannot, no one has answers to you question. The best will be for you to relay on fact and think in flux. You can surely do better than that. Is EL weak? What is your definition of the term “weakness”? The we can proceed with your question.
  
  Good day.
- Jay Jay July 11, 2015 At 4:06 pm
  
  Weakness is retaining the selfsame finance minister even when it is evidently clear he has lamentably failed, weakness having no spine to face the media via a press conference, weakness is watch as your party officals make tribal utterances in your presence…I can carry on with examples and would run out of space.
- Jay Jay July 11, 2015 At 4:15 pm
  
  No he has not ordered any Mercedes but he had okayed procuring govt Vehicles for whooping $200m, okayed wasting huge sums of money on the former first lady’s accommodation, wasting $192m on cheap Chinese equipment…the list goes on.
  
  Wake up from your folly cadre!!
Hildah Malama July 10, 2015 At 4:04 pm

Ba Lusaka Times, please avoid publishing pictures of the drunkard man whose main duty thinks is that of Global Trotting.

The HIV infected Chibuku Man wants to divide Zambia before he dies next year. Instead of having Davies Chama arrested for attempted murdure and tribal remarks, the Chibuku Man threatens chiefs.

I would mind if he can die today to resecue Zambia from division because of the poor leardership of the HIV Man.

There is everyone… he is dancing on a foreign airport tarmac again the visionless Lazy bum Lungu….absolutely no shame whatsoever… meanwhile back home the economy is going down whilst the country he is visiting their economy is on the up because it is prudently managed. Its also important to note that at the moment Malawi only solely depends on Agriculture where as Zambia which is 10 times bigger has nothing to show.

Their soldiers are also brandishing what looks like the latest AR15s where as we are stuck with 1960s AK47s…truly laughable.
Joe July 10, 2015 At 8:12 pm

It would appear he was the only head of state there. Meaningless travel to a beggers country with no regard to the costs and the suffering poor back home. What a mistake of a president.
Patriot Abroad July 10, 2015 At 8:15 pm

Pics 16, 17 are lovely. Especially the compassionate, caring faces of the adults over the little boy in 16! Our First Lady looks lovely. Great picture composition.

@ Fake Pastor Richard. If your nonsense is anything to go by, after 2091, after 10 years, we go to 2101 and not 3000. You have added 900 years. Spend your free time learning simple arithmetic and learning the calendar instead of thinking and writing a whole lengthy nonsense. Simple logic shows a grade three pupil can do better in maths than you. Pathetic! No wonder the title (fake) pastor.
