  1. You see how we Zambians love fellow Africans? We keep Rwandans who dance beautifully at our ceremonies. We also keep Congolese, Somalians, Ugandans, Angolans etc. Previously we kept Zimbabweans, South Africans, Mozambicans, Namibians just about everyone

  2. Great stuff these ceremonies. Great opportunities for Tourism. The real Zambia!

    Is it not fair to say Paramount Chief Mpezeni is the most dapper Sharp dressed Chief?! Uh! My chief, hail oh great chief!
