  1. The worst set of pictures i have seen in a very long time. Zambia is still hundreds of years away from graduation from one of the poorest countries in the world to just be called a developed country. What levels of poverty!

    • Suntwe I also cry. Ohh Lord. Surely even the vice presidents cup the players are playing with bare feet. She surely cant even find donors from the whole world to contribute used boots in her capacity. Shows the calibre. Just there to clean their own backside these PF minions. Nonono these pictures are touching

    • From Lunga districts with those Ungas on water compared to sandy Nalolo district… so difficulty to find area to take real development. Those 2 districts are so uneven, just like Edgar’s 2 blocks he can’t even level.

  2. The pictures of Lunga district are a sorry sight. 51 years of independence are people are living like that. Successive govt have failed to uplift the living standards of the people yet we hear of people buying houses in Malaysia, South Africa, Gt. Britain, USA and only God knows where. Shame on us all for forgetting the poor who live among us

  3. Photo number one it not true because kasempa uses a diesel engine for power supply the are not connected to the ZESCO line.

  4. pictures 2 to 17. POVERTY IN THE LAND OF ABUNDANCE REALLY SHOCKS ME. PIX 4AND 6 (fired wood)- YOU MEAN IN ZAMBIA NO SCIENTIST OR ENGINEER KNOWS THAT COAL IS AN EXCELLENT HIT ENERGY (fire) PROVIDER AS COMPARED TO CHARCOAL AND FIRE WOOD? WE HAVE PLENTY OF COAL IN ZAMBIA- WHY IS IT NOT USED IN HOMES FOR COOKING AND HITTING? BOTSWANA USES COAL (even here, UK) BIG TIME. LUAPULA PROVINCE WITH ABUNDANT WATER (BUT WITH NO FLASHED TOILETS AND TAP WATER), EXTREMELY FERTILE SOIL- I WONDER WHY ALL OUR GOVERNMENTS CAN’T MAKE IT A BREAD BASKET OF AFRICA. I WISH IT WERE IN BOTSWANA. I HAVEN’T SEEN THE PROJECT THAT ECL WENT TO INSPECT. LT, WHY IS IT NOT IN PICTURES? WHAT’S WRONG WITH ZAMBIAN THINK TANKS?

    • This is good publicity for then the lesser of such being exposed will let us know a working government. 51 years of independence and Zambians still live under such conditions! Look at the footballers with no boots, or maybe it works well in sandy soils! If such exposure does not touch MP’s what kind of hearts do they have for their constituents?

  5. Vice President Inonge Wina (l) meets former Labour Minister in MMD government AND corruption convicted BUT PARDONED, sick BUT RECOVERED Austin Liato (c) on arrival at Mongu Airport to officiate at the Inonge Wina Independence Football Championship Tournament in her constituency in Nalolo District

  6. We can obviously do better in wealth distribution in our country – it is a very good idea to highlight areas that have been neglected — see what is happening in Ngabwe now. That is what we need. Clearly, the pictures of Lunga are biased – I think there is more than just the waterways depicted – but now we have an idea. Lest we are mistaken – even the developed countries have backyards and they are busy working on upgrading their backyards – even then, there are still some areas that are forgotten!

  7. CONTINUE LIVING IN THE STONE AGE YOU DAFT ZAMBIANS!!
    When You get a messiah amongst your ranks, who whistle blows about Corrupt officials who are keeping Zambia in perpetual poverty, & the Stone Age, You P.F Magg0t’s Gang Up, & attempt to assault him.
    Continue Dying of Poverty, Ignorance, & Disease.
    YOU Id10t’s WELL & TRULY DESERVE IT!!

  8. CONTINUE LIVING IN THE STONE AGE YOU DAFT ZAMBIANS!!
    Lusaka Times is also a compromised non impartial tool of P.F, as they are selective in what they allow to be posted on their non -democratic site.
    When Zambians get a messiah amongst their ranks, who whistle blows about the scourge of Corruptin blighting our society, thus keeping in perpetual Slavery, & the STONE AGE, You P.F Magg0ts Gang up, & attermpt to assault him, & the results are there for all to see in the above pictures.
    Lusaka times I know You wont post this as ive tried 3 times, & You are just a “Belly Journal”
    I dare You to post this, You equally corrupt bunch!

  9. Uuuuummm Pic 41……………Austin Liato has resurrected from the “dead”and he is up and running. I would not be surprised if he announced that he has joined PF in the not too distant future.
