The arrival of Bupe and Mapalo, the former co-joined twins , brought almost the entire business district of Kawambwa to a standstill as nearly every curious onlooker stood in awe watching their arrival back home.
The former co-joined twins arrived back to their home district after undergoing a successful operation at the University Teaching Hospital in Lusaka last week.
It had to take restraint by security personal to stop curious onlookers from blocking their way as nearly everyone stopped whatever they were doing when news went round that the twins have arrived back home.
Thankfully after receiving them at his office, Kawambwa District Commissioner Ivo Mpasa , later led a small motorcade carrying Luka and Mapalo straight to Kachema Musuma Orphanage Centre until government through its provincial administration refurbishes their parent’s house, as recommended by Health care technocrats.
“ Bupe and Mapalo will not be allowed to proceed home but will be kept at Kachema Musuma Orphanage Centre for the next three months to allow government to renovate their parents’ house, “ he said.
Mr. Mpasa has since appealed to Bupe and Mapalo’s parents to be patient with government as they await for the house to be worked on.
The district commissioner paid glowing tribute to the University Teaching Hospital ( UTH ) medics for carrying out a successful operation on the twins.
He thanked President Edgar Lungu for ensuring that the former conjoined twins underwent a successful operation to separate them adding that the President will be keen to see how the babies will be faring while in Kawambwa.
On 2st February , 2018 , there was an air of anxiety and cheer at University Teaching Hospital (UTH), when a medical team comprising of more than 15 doctors and 10 nurses performed one of the country’s historic operation on conjoined twins, Luka and Mapalo thereby giving them hope of bringing them to normal life.
The procedure lasted for 12 hours on the material day.
Good on you Bupe and Mapalo! As my uncle would say, “May the good Lord bless all the best in the process of your lives.”
With God’s Help there’s nothing the smart people of the Zambian Enterprise can fail to accomplish when they put their minds to it.

Where is Larry Bwalya who dodn’t like these babies?
Ba LT, don’t allow your people to write articles in bars when they are drunk. For goodness sake, how do you make sense of the two contradicting statements below?
1) The former co-joined twins arrived back…home…after undergoing a successful operation at the University Teaching Hospital….LAST WEEK?.
2) On 2st FEBRUARY, 2018….at UTH….a medical team…15 doctors and 10 nurses performed one of the country’s historic operation on conjoined twins, Luka and Mapalo…
Now, if the operation took place two weeks ago, that would be in APRIL and not FEBRUARY. By the way, what sort of Calendar do you guys use…. what the hell is “2st”?
LT, we love you, but some of these mistakes are just beyond being incompetent but a serious lack of seriousness.
Anyway, good luck Bupe…
Continue…
Anyway, good luck Bupe and Mapalo. May God bless you both and your parents.
Thanks to God.
Great praise to the lord and the humans who’ve been in place to advancement in that field of science. Wishes to the little onse a healthy growth.
God bless, the operation is successfully done in Zambia.
Good work to the men and women in the field of Science who made this happen.
Mushota is a sick person – ati “RIP” to mean what???
This kama-thing called Mushota sizokwana!!!
I stand to be corrected after all she is a UK citizen and a PHD candidate.
But for now its…
Disaster!!!
I hope the twins and the family will be closely monitored and assisted financially for next 10 years….I wonder why people are surprised by such operations remember Afrikans were carryout C-sections operations when Victorian surgeons were unsuccessful at it.
@MUSHOTA
First thing first Mushota must be blocked from lusakatimes. This is worse those you block if at all you block those insulting others. How can you say RIP? Mushota something went wrong when your mother conceived you or when your mother’s egg met your father’s staff. You are disgusting. No wander they named you Mushota meaning walishota amano, walibulisha. Shame on you Lusakatimes if you dont block this devil woman.
RIP is really too much.nangu ni autocorrect iyi have yachita over.Shame on you×1000
MushOta indeed needs to be blocked and looking at Jay Jay’Sean comment’ one can tell that it is no other than their very own Larry
Ba LT,
I know Trolls like this man pretending to be a girl ‘Mushota’ will always appear on online social media. But how far does one have to cross the line before you step in and regulate? When one puts such unwarranted hurtful messages like @1.2 Mushota above, on your site targeting infants and their parents in distress, and hurting so many other normal readers, is that not crossing the line?
I realise he is probably a brain-washed white male racist trying to take the mickey out of Africans, so he has NO sensitivity when he sees an African baby.
GOD bless you mapalo and bupe.
Thank God for everything.
I wish them well; but is it that in Zambia; every thanks is to the president?
It’s science bane all this talk of thank God nifi superstition and the reason that people blocked the road shows how behind we are with science and education because these operations are normal in other parts of the world wakeupzed.
Wake up for real and know that God is life.
Lesa wamaka, meaning GOD is great, happy life Mapalo & Luka.
Thanks be God….. Wish you well twins…..Amen
I just pray that God gives me Siamese twins also so that Boma refurbishes my house…….kikikikikikiki
Ha negatives HaAlways mixed with a bit of hope! HaNUNSENSI!
God bless you children and thank Team of Surgeons at UTH!
To GOD ALMIGHTY be the glory, this is an amazing Zambian story. May our little twins flourish in good healthy.
