  1. In the picture, the Zambians are dancing for the president while the Chinese are working on the building behind. God aren’t we so lazy!!!

    • Without IMF bailout, these projects are non starters but yet Zambia is ranked 2nd copper producer in the world. True to other people’s words, “The country is ours but the monies from these copper mines isn’t ours – Chalo nichanu, ndalama is ours”.

      Or is it because of misplaced priorities by PF on the expenditures of for example monies collected by ZRA?

      And how much does it cost Zambia to fly that challenger with ECL across African nations?

      Why about the time wasted by civil servants dancing for ECL at the airport?

      Free HH

    • Every day is a holiday in Zambia. The same happens at Zambian embassies. American workers do not observe some of the holidays; but Zambian workers at the Embassy observe Zambian holidays plus all the American holidays.

    • The so called leaders like Lazy Lungu there are happy with the kickback the pocketed from that KKIA project….there was the IMF Communication Director busy clarifying issues concerning Zambia…meanwhile Lazy is off to enjoy his weekend in CB and his beautiful escort information minister is on a date somewhere taking selfies and the MMD accountant is day dreaming as well elsewhere!!

    • He seems to be everywhere. When does he actually sit to do the actual work in the office.
      He seems to think traveling is working.
      “UKULULUMBA” too much

    • You mean this imbecile is still President of Zambia? Oh my? And he is going to Uganda’s dictator to refuel dictartorship for Zambia. The country is surely matching to oblivion.

    • For sure we have a bunch of lazy people, all the man hours lost seeing off a person, though he he owned them.

    • THE COPPERBELT (CB) AND THE KK INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS WITH PROPERLY PLANNED PERIPHERAL ATTACHMENTS CAN ACCERALATE AND SET ZAMBIA ON A HUGE TRANSFORMATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND MODERNISATION. EG, THE CB AIRPORT CAN BE CONNECTED WITH HIGH-SPEED MODERN ELECTRIC TRAINS FROM TOWNS SUCH AS SOLWEZI, CHILILABOMBWE, CHINGOLA, MUFULIRA, KITWE FROM THE NORTHERN PART AND KABWE, KAPIRI FROM THE SOUTHER PART. WHILE KK AIPORT CAN BE CONNECT WITH EQUALLY HIGH SPEED TRAINS FROM FEIRA/LUANGWA, CHONGWE AND KAPIRI, KABWE, THROUGH CHISAMBA AND LUSAKA, ETC. THESE PROJECTS CAN BE ACHIEVED THROUGH PPP.

  2. There will be poor attendance.
    So many grounds have been broken, nothing happens. Starting from Mongu Stadium…

  3. Bravo ECL!!please keep on working hard and us Zambians shall reward you with massive votes in 2021.

    KEEP IT UP SIR!!WE LOVE YOU!!NEVER MIND THOSE CALLING YOU A DICTATOR AS A KNOWN DICTATOR IN ZAMBIA IS HH WHO HAS BEEN UPND LEADER SINCE 2006 MINUS ALLOWING ANY CONVENTION!!
    in bemba they say” uwakwensha ubushiku bamutasha elyo bwacha”,so many Zambians will appreciate your splendid works maybe closer to 2021 or…

  4. MOST WELCOME TO THE COPPERBELT YOUR EXCELLENCY!!!
    DONT’ FORGET THE ROADS IN KITWE AS WELL.
    THE HATERS WILL BE GNASHING THEIR TEETH EVEN IN 2021
    AND FOREVER!!!

  5. Lungu is a very childish and vindictive little penis. He is so insecure about HH because HH has excelled at everything in comparison. I mean just look at how ugly lungu wife is while HH’s is marvellous looking. Anyway we hope the people on the copperbelt will wake up tomorrow and pour petrol or paraffin all over lungu and burn the rat.

    • Eff your jesus. I don’t need a thing no one has ever seen in my life

    • ba hh finishes form five in 1978/9 and he goes to unza in 1980/81,he graduates in 1985.In 1986/87 working or he goes to England ,he comes back in 1990/91 and in 1995/96 working.In 2000 he is a millionare owns shares in a number of privatised companies.In 2006 he inherits upnd and unveils his cv at Mulungushi Con.Centre.I smell a RAT.

    • wabepafye hoo. burn yourself in your house. your HH has nothing to offer. if he was arrested for a good cause,the whole country would have crying for him. no one has been on the street that tells you he can not force Zambians to vote for him. just redradt your manifesto and sell yourselves well. stop baby cry.

      Please speed up copperbelt road works. God bless Zambia.

  6. The problem with infrastructure built using Chinese loans is:-

    – 90% of the money does not enter the country
    – 60% of the money that comes in the country is stolen by PF cadres
    – 90% of the contracts are given to chinese companies
    – 90% of the materials are imported from China
    – 75% of the labour-force is chinese
    – 90% of the money is not taxed by ZRA
    – Govt is left with white elephants which they can’t maintain.
    – The white elephants don’t increase the economy activity & raise enough revenue to repay the loans.

  7. The masters of negativity! An opposition party that is disoriented lost in tribal gymnastics where they see anything not Tonga as not good! Three Mansions!

    • And Pf appoints of one tribe taking of govt departments you call that what? It is called institutionalizing tribalism.

  8. HH was President in Namwala? Where did he excel? In Namwala? The level of ignorance in Three Mansion and his supporters is frighteningly high! You can take an Under Five Card supporter to U.S. but you cannot remove ignorance from him!

  9. The money was stolen by Hazaluza Hagain during privatization but as always the UPND have delusions and do not know how HH acquired his wealth!

  10. Lots of idlers ,onlookers and “leaders” with no serious work to do.At this rate why won’t Zed be poor and a slave to the more disciplined Chinese ,the IMF and western nations?

  11. Lazy Lungu off again …how very convenient having a working holiday on a weekend, I bet you they are more in allowances on weekends when the lazy Sausage is merely partying and campaigning. How many times has this lazy bum travelled just this week. Again tomorrow the defence chiefs and whole cabinet with cadres will go to see off this lazy thing at Lusaka Airport.

    • Are we seriously expecting to develop Zed with this culture of hangers-on ,idlers and officials whose work ethic is more style than substance?
      I can tell ya no developed cuntry has this culture of wasteful BS.

  12. It is a pity you have that nut called Nez who enjoys insulting other people every day…he can’t just reason without insults! You say you don’t need Jesus it is no wonder you guys with your president belong to the cult of free masons!

    • Which church does Lungu Edgar belong to? When and Where was he baptized? who is his pastor now and who was his pastor before accidentally landing himself in state house? Keep quiet if you are knowing Lungu today.

    • How long does it take to blog ? These are such miniscule posts people make and I don’t see how they can impact development? How many times does trump tweet ? Is America in regression? Don’t issue statements that have no bearing on an outcome. If Lungu has failed to spur development don’t blame it on a few bloggers.

    • And the country can develop by spending half the day at the airport seeing off a lazy bum flying to Chongwe from Lusaka.

  13. Keeping on working hard Mr Lungu and remain focused. Don’t be distracted by arm chair critics, you’ve proved to be humble & hardworking and that is why God is always on your side (1 Peter 5:6, Psalm 33:12). Make Zambia great again! One Zambia one nation! God bless Zambia!

  14. @1 Manb, there are Zambians too working alongside chinese in the background building the new KKIA terminal. These are two different activities in the picture I think.

  15. Give Edgar time to develop the country. Zambians learn to be mature. State house is the highest office of the land.
    The Inferiority complex by HH sympathizers won’t take them anywhere.
