  1. Too many typos in the captions: “shaping up at a fat rate” and “party of the crowd”

    FRA: I like what I see – good structures for storage and non-GMO maize. Let’s hope what is labelled outside is what is really inside.

    All in all, Zambians are advancing well at their own pace in terms of development. With more than 60% of the world’s unharnessed resources (including cultivatable land) in Africa, the plain truth is that Africans really have nothing to worry about if only they managed their assets properly.

    It is Europeans, Americans and Asians who are desperate about their future and that is why they will do anything to get at our assets in the name of “investment”.

    We need to be wary as Keith Mulevu sang: “wemwina Zambia wishitesha icalo, nga wamona umulwani aisa na…

    • Well said but who will tell the majority to vote for hope, for the future and a secure one at that? Vision is hope ! Of late one sleeps restlessly, ngati tizaitaya nafuti, then welcome to Exodus-out-of-Hell !!

  4. Seems the weekend was full of politics and accidents. If both top two people are politicking day in and day out, who actually does the work for moving forward. The weekend should be spend by our leaders to reflect and strategise than being busy campaigning. This Party has actually been campaigning from day ONE, the moment it got power. No wonder we are were we are today. Does this PF party know anything else other than campaigning?

    • @Chief MMD bootlicked, you have now grown and that is maturity mune. Let Zambians emulate the people of Trinidad & Tobago & flush out PF in Solwezi & next year. Let PF when they lose concede graciously. Why should development come only to those who vote for the party? For your info, the Aussies now have a new PM with no violence.

  5. No mention of RB in pic 35.
    While Zambians are getting thinner, a market in Itezhi Tezhi is ‘shaping up at a FAT rate.’

    • The Saint, wesekesha sana, Market shaping up at a ‘FAT’ rate is just LT being the silly self. They meant ‘shaping up at a fast rate.’
      Don’t worry meet, just grow most of what you eat on that small peace of land you live on and you will experience less stretch of the kwacha as it is currently really stretching in prices. I now have onions, bean leaves, chinese cabbage and chibwabwa. No more a bandle of veggies worth K2 when I need 4 per day.
      Let’s start growing our food Zambians, please!
      Next I am putting 10 village chickens, 6 goats and 4 sheep on a farm to breed. I am thinking if kwacha become K15 to USD1, most people will not be able to eat! Ala nalunya!

  6. ##25&26,

    Why and how in the world are we still using typewriters to print NRCs?

    It is a complete waste of our time.

    We must computerise as this will be quicker and more efficient.

  7. Before lungu was fully in the sky bo inonge was landing with her helicopter in the same area to repeat the same boring message

  8. Pic 30 you would think its Fr Bwalya who is the candidate. What a chancer. The official candidate is in fact the one standing afar from the president.

  9. On a commendable note, it is good that Lungu does wear a hat to protect himself from the harsh Zambian sun. We need to educate our people to wear hats when it is sunny.

  10. Pic 28, have always told him that he is trying to be a pimp, am sure he got a few tips from the senior chief on how to dress up as a pimp, a ka hat, open shirt revealing hairly chest, yellow socks, just look at him can’t take off his eyes off those yellow socks, Pic 32,come on you at church, no politics allowed can’t you read the sign behind you?

  11. PF is has taken development to every part if Zambia, last I went to Itezhi Tezhi, the was no tared road and no market, but this hard-working PF has taken development to that remote area!! May God continue to shine on Chagwa and his Minister as they foster development to all parts of the country!! Amen

  12. Truly laughable the dull empty tin Jean Kapata MP and her delegation, what a waste of air tickets to Columba and travel allowances, I high doubt it she learn anything there.

  13. I am here looking at that NEWLY constructed Food Reserve Agency shed at Lumezi in Lundazi and wondering why they don’t put solar panels on top of large surface area roof as these places are very secure, well guarded premises. Let’s incorporating alternative energy at the design stage to supplementing the national grid especially in areas like Lundazi.
