    • For once I agree with you Mushota, this is why there is too much AIDS in Zambia because of nonsense like these. You see sugar Daddies getting all these little whores from CBU, UNZA, NIPA, ZICAS and all those useless good for nothing colleges in Zambia and take them to these alcohol infested HIV dens. These little whores are going for these married men for talk time, rent money and for that latest cell phone. There are no more values with our women in Zambia. Nada, nothing and that is sad, y’all wonder why we marry white women? The answer is right there, our women…90% are whores in Zambia and the men are as useless as a used condom.

    • Does she know how to cook? Or does she just googles all these recipes from other pages that don’t even apply to 90% of the Zambian population’s food? If she can make up a recipe on how to cook vinkubala or Kasepa then I will listen because that is as Zambian as it gets, but as long as she continues to write crappie recipes on how to microwave noodles, then I won’t even read any of that nonsense. Thank you

  1. Saturday 28th April was the day of the highly anticipated, MTN sponsored, 2018 edition of Zamfest VS 28th April Zambia’s biggest musical experience tagged #ALL Out for Gospel headlined by Christian music kings, Ephraim and Pompi.

    There is a lot of #stupidity by the organizers of these events. Why didn’t they combine so as to have these events on different dates as than having two events competing in the same country worse enough same Lusaka, this was more like dividing the people.

  2. At least South Africans have room for their own homebred music. Mwati ni ise ma Zedians with our computer bred music!
