    • The one million dollar Scania Fire Truck showed up …even Scania PLC would be surprised to hear that they have such expensive trucks on their books!!

    • Damn, Fairmount still looks the damn same way it looked almost 30 years ago when I attended Hillcrest SC. All these years later, no visible improvements at all!

      @Ayatollah, the reputation of that hotel being a place for ‘playboys’ and their mistresses is legendary. It goes way back. Such stories and rumors were abound even in my school days in Livingstone. And you wonder why HIV/AIDS will be a tough fight to win in Zambia.

  1. Is that the wheel barrow to the rescue ? I think someone’s should let someone know it’s time to stop starting these fires. The 41 remaining wheel barrows are now being tested to justify their purchase.

    How are investigations going into the Lusaka market fires?

    I thought Jonathan promised to get to the bottom of it. Maybe he was drunk when he said it.

  2. Livingstone fire brigade has had a very good record of doing a good job. The worst are the Lusaka ones. They can’t put off any fire, not even a burning tire!

  3. Lusaka Times is an ally of U5 or they are on his payroll
    They have refused to publish my comments on any matter relating to their u.p.n.donkeys.

  4. “.Mr. Munkombwe says he would want to meet President Edgar Lungu and thank him in person”.

    No, you old tr.iba.list, keep away from our beloved christian President. Stick to your u.nder.5 and his Muk.uni tri.bal rituals.
