PICTURES AND CAPTIONS BY JEAN MANDELA

  1. That is the problem with Zambia.Everyone willsit back and laugh at this clown called Cozmo Mumba till we find him picking food from rubbish bins.Clearly the little f00l needs help but we are just watching or at most asking pipo to help him.

  2. Picture 22, Kissing a cadaver is a very bad idea, she might end up with cadeveric particles in her mouth and the consequences can be serious!

  3. Very dumb captioning ba editor ati
    “Any Ngoni identified at during the burial process of Mattipe
    was being showered with some white powder”
    Can’t you explain what is being practiced? Arent you a Zambian? As a journalist you have to explain to your readers Zambian and others what the mourners are doing. Also go to grammar school before joining the profession of telling stories

  4. A corpse……also called a cadaver:)…….but this so called chimbuya can get rather obnoxious (unbearable) at most times!!

  5. This chimbuya cannot be tolerated at a funeral, it only works when people are joking not at a funeral, am pretty sure only one person suggested this, then the rest followed suit, this is were people should stand up and say no we are not at a traditional ceremony

    • Goes to show how young you are my dear…this has always existed between easterners and northerners; from football matches to golf tournments or burials! In the 1980s Michael Sata was the grandmaster for Bembes in powdering easterners at funerals!!

  6. what happened to ‘umupango’? she’s mourning her father, nabafwala na brazillian kumutwe, and even goes on to kiss the body….. lost tradition and culture indeed.
