  1. Picture Nambala One!! Badyela and I can not locate Nshima. So that is diversification that only a chosen few can afford?

  2. Picture Nambala 7 !! If you are a Zambian Soccer player, why put on a T-shirt that says BRASIL kanshi? Is the coach really watching these guys? Please learn to represent and put on a Zambian fimo fimo!!

  3. #1 Ba Thandiwe balimonekako Bwino apa.I like the lips……
    #2 yashani scene iyi
    #4,5,6 LT yafulasana ame pikichazi ymaa Footballer( aya ama Kula)….give us variety

  4. Picture number 1 ba thandi good smile nombafye the material for your chitenge outfit as if its a curtain or bedsheet

  5. Zambian players look malnourised. I Hope ba first lady saved some fook for our players. Maybe they will start wearing Zambian T-shirt instead of Brazil’s.

  6. Ministers’ Spouses Club !! Is this the function where they raised 1 Million Ks for Saint Marys ? Please help us.

    I read Saint Marys need 500 Million Ks and so these ladies should meet 500 times to raise that amount LOL

  7. LT, Sure fulu fi ma footballers and only one of Thandiwe? Not happy. Elo alemoneka bwino mama, ka. Manje khani ya mukule kulibe ku chinja mama? Olo ka shampoo and set so…what do you think?

  8. Picture Numbala 2 !! That mambala is trying to see the girl’s kaputula and you call it drama. Alamonako uyo!!

  9. #8 Makali 1, you mean you cant se Miss Intellectual on pic #2. naka posin’ga! Kavala natunsapato twa red!! Kwena…

  10. # 10 it is true they raised only 1 Million Kwacha ! The article was on LT a few days ago. I am sure some bloggers here will confirm that.

  11. Our zambian players look……… they need to be riding good cars and making sums of money for kickng a cows skin filled with air .
    Having Ronaldo in your church would mean 13000 pounds a week, tithe.
    But instead the money is used on perishables, things of the now only.

  12. 14 Ba Moze, I think this one ni ka kopo, how does she allow a grown man to be looking at her kaputula like that as Jamaco pointed out?

  13. The pictures aint exciting…and i agree with #12..organisign that function was more expensive..they could have just donated the the money directly without the tuma function

  14. Moze you are a funny person! I wish my husband had humour like you. problem is, we always talk about politics,HH to be precise ,everyday.. But please dont tell him, he might just chase me and i dont want to lose him.

  15. Miss Daisy, you know how the state machinery works. You think they can just donate without ka food naka drink? Teti!! That function smells of more than 10 million, mwe.

  16. children and cyberspace !! Nomba iyi kani ya kaputula what has it got to do with cyber fimo fimo. Cyberspace is when wafula akaputula and that you can not demonstrate. Awe kuti waseka nefilamba fyafuma.

  17. #24 Mrs Maestro, Dont worry, i wont tell him. I like your husband because he is not afraid to speak his mind. I hope he looks after you well. Pantu sometimes talking too much can be a way of hiding certain inadequacies ka? No, am joking Maestro is a nice guy!

  18. The Zambian soocerplayer wearing a Brazilian T-shirt is due to lack of understanding of the bigger picture of most zambian footballers. Suppose Zambia plays Brazil, these guys will be watching their stars/heros (Brazilian footballers) instead of competiting. It is sad.

  19. Ka Miss intellectual mu pic #2, Necklace! Kwati machain ayamu slave trade era!! Yangu utumikonso nato!!!

  20. #31 Pan Africanist, Brazil score against us and our players start celebrating!! Even hugging the scorer Ronaldinho!!!

  21. Our Goal keeper Mweene after conceeding against Brazil, even does the “katongo back summersault” in celebration. Skulu niya mushe ka?

  22. Ma Moze # 32 im sure mudala (cameraman) gave her the necklace and said fwala necklace mwaiche chita na pose elo na la ku kopa bwino

  23. number 6 hahahahahhahaha ala ulawamya mwandi zoona likatani….hahahaha make nayo ala finabwela mochedwa chipatachipata…at least welcome to lusaka plot 1 amai

  24. #33 and #35… we seem to have low self-esteem and low sense of selfworth as Zambians. Can you imagine the Team Manager, coach, and the delegation leader etc sees nothing wrong with this boy!!!. He may not have gone far in school…but the ‘right’ pipo around the team should guide the ‘boys’… One would say.. it is all about our leadership…second best at every international forum….

  25. I believe a person is free to wear what they want just because someone wears something it does not mean they have an allegiance to whatever they are wearing. It’s what goes on a person’s minds that matters not what they wear, the man i s just trying to match his garms. #17 toko if those jeans are tight then whats normal? you are the same chaps that wear kaponya vukoo’s that sweep the road because of their gigatuan size.

  26. #40 , One wonders what roles some of these people play as regards ” guiding” the boys is concerned. Mind you, i see a lot of strange things when it comes to our soccer players. Signing two contracts, nefyashala. One really wonders. The elders are in it for the money it seems. But then sometimes it could be due to arrogance from the same boys.

  27. #41… you have interesting view…however allow me to escalate the debate to the next level…

    We are assuming these footballers are on national duty, heavyly funded by Zambian tax payers..Suppose RB (Rupiah) shows up at the SADC summit with a T-shirt bearing RSA Presido Zuma potrait… would you advance the same logic…answer me my friend without swearing….like they say an angry -man does not think properly.. have a nice day

  28. Pic #1. Thandie seems to be heeding calls for her to reform. Kudos to alangizi on LT. I can now see eyebrow pencil. She has also lipsticked her mouth. Difficult to say whether she is expressing with a smile.

  29. #43 Their national duty only stands when they are in football camp or on the pitch. Their national duty does not stretch into their wardrobe and personal lives as if they are politicians. What they choose to wear is solely based on personal preference, theres no clause in their contract that says the taxpayers shall decide what attire is right for them .Their job is just to perform well on the pitch not to parade themselves to appease armchair revolutionary pan africans. If you are so pan african why don’t you complain when your politicians were Italian suits? Let the players wear what they want to wear they are players not slaves .

  30. #45 Slum Imagine Shrek wearing Brasil on his chest! Cesc with a Barca shirt! I bet the papers would sell four times as much that month if not months. Then again our players do not sign contracts or FAZ don`t do they? That is if you know what “rights” mean! No offence!

  31. #7. J nothing personal, and, long time! You were one of those that said Thandi and her friends deserved a pat on the back. Seriously J, the function itself gobbled more than what they donated. Ah well! It doesn`t take a lot to appease Zambians does it? Not you of course! lol!

  32. #49 Moze mani the girl in #2 is better looking than the one in #1. My opinion, I may be wrong though. With all the foundation and all that, she is stunning!

  33. Slumdog… I may not know the details of the contract (if it exist at all!!) just to avoid issues like these, more organised nations issue the national teams with tracksuits or suits bearing a small national emblem. I do understand that these guys have private lives… fair enough.. but trust me.. you will NEVER see Wayne Roney wearing a brazil t-shirt while national duties…why…beacuse the system will not allow him regardless how dumm Roney may be.

  34. #48 3Rqu long time mudala. I agree with you, I am the one who supported TBs move with that 1 million Ks donation. Now seeing the pictures of the function and the food displayed make me lose it. I thought the donation was made from their respective homes and not at Inters with all that luxury. I had to do some revision.

  35. First Lady ni ziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.WoW! pic number two reminds me of old days when I was a great dramatist at Mwense Boys.2001.Manje twalipwa.

  36. #50 3RqU, Mani, i have heard of beauty being in the eyes of fimo fimo, but iyo yena..awe nakana boyi! Teti!! Naumumona Thandiwe first? Lelo fye kwena, i think she has outdone herself boyi. Nomba mona akobe pa pic #2!!! Yangu tata! Utumikonso boyi, utumikonso! Its too much.

  37. Jamaco,3RqU,Ba Moze,Sweet Lady miss Daisy mulishani bonse? Oh sorry and everyone pano pa website how are you?

  38. 3RqU an great and you?

    Ba Moze te self praise nali wa bad I even won trophies pa skool ask anyone who was at Mwense Boys from 1999 to 2001 they will tell you or FTJ and BY,I campaigned for them.

  39. Moze mani, the girl in #2 has what is called natural beauty. That`s why I talked about foundationand all that. The one in #2 has had everything put on her face-I mean expensive stuff. As I said, I may be wrong but if I was a judge and these two girls stood in front of me, I would pick #2 everyday. No offence man and I mean it.

  40. #51 Wayne rooney and his cohorts are free to wear whatever they want. A simple google image search will show you england stars only wear their sport coats when they are going to an official tournament or match. English players were whatever they want when they go to Camp in the carribbean
    , which goes back to my earlier point the players are not free to wear whatever they like

  41. Matworld uposeko amano kwisukulu. Ndefwaya 2010 ninshi naukwata bondi (lol) naka madam pa side when I come to watch the world cup.

  42. #47 your incoherence escapes me but am assuming shrek is RB, ask yourself this is RB a footballer or a politician. No offence to yourself but use your common sense because if thats your logic many zambian politicians have been seen wearing football jerseys and there was no outcry on their allegiance. I think this is matter of personal taste that you want to impose on free individuals nothing to do wth rights

  43. #69 I was talking about Rooney and not the president of Zambia. Is he called Shrek? If you are in the Uk you would know Rooney is called Shrek. A nick name started by Uni students from Manchester.

  44. Use your common sense and look at the rest of the players attire. Now question yourself they are all on official duty why the casual wear? And since when is going to camp official duty

  45. #51 you are one of the few who talks sense on this blog. as far as am concerned the national team went into camp a week or two weeks ago. This guy is on national duty,its disgusting and a disgrace for a national player to support another team direct or indirect while on national duties . he should be fined or sent back home. where is the commitment?. he needs an IQ test.

  46. #73 I kissede, cheers mani!! This issue of dressing the national team has a lot of perspectives attached to it. Personally, am not happy seeing our boys dressed in that manner. Let them dress like that when camp breaks and thay are going home!

  47. #72 Slum I am not going to argue with you any more. It seems we are not on the same wave length. I am a big footie fan. I go to watch the Arsenal, yes even in away games. I have done for more than 15 years. Other than Zambia I have followed England in all their tournament for obvious reasons. I know you probably do ot understand, national teams sign sponsorship programmes, clubs do as well and so do individuals. The last time I checked, Becks was sponsored by Adidas as an individual, it means he could never wear anything other than Adidas boots when playing football. Nationwide sponser England and the lst thing they would EVER want to see is a person with Brasil shirt. I hope you do understand now.

  48. #72 that player is wearing a replica , there is a brazillian logo on the shirt. you have a problem to differeciate whats casual. you will never see an english player wearing a replica of another team or nation whether on holiday or off duty. do you know what message its sends out if rooney was to wear a chelsea, france, brazil or arsenal replica. think as a fan.

  49. 3RqU.

    Mudala I will try by all means ukuposaka amano come 2010 you will find ci bonb imbama as for madam teino nshita mudala umwenso no manifesto.I don’t know who has bewitched me.each time i meet a lady instead of presenting manifesto ine kwipusha banyina ngabaume nangu banakashi or ing’anda yabo ngayalikwata door.

    I will start writing my exams next week pa thursday.

  50. 3RqU

    Just come mudala nangu by then I wont have bond I will take care of you nicely. As for ba Madam its not this time mudala,ine umwenso wabanakashi walindya mwadi.katwishi who has bewitched me.

  51. #75 Ba Moze it`s a shame sponsors do not come as far as Zambia. If this boy had sponsors, you would never have seen him in that shirt-seriously, unless he was Brazilian and even then, they probaly would demand a logo of some sort somewhere on the shirt. Naya mayo ba slum nabafulwa icinecine.

  52. Going off on an irrelevant tangent as if extra curricla information thats not linked to the topic at hand will impress me or give credence to your opinion. Let me remind you the footballers in the picture know better than you because they are briefed unlike you who is just a blogger. If they are all wearing casual clothes that should tell you thats the norm despite whatever objections the truth stands. Theres no debate here just facts against opinions and you are in the latter

    #77 am not debating authenticity here stick to the matters at hand. The name brazil or colour coding is not exclusive to football so you too need to utilize your common sense

  53. 3RqU, we are all expressing opinions and views here. Some are factual however. we learn from one another mani. Just chill.

  54. Nine Chale shani mani. Please do not change that Gravatar. I like it. lol! Cheers guys and peace be with you. £ is gone now. Ta!

  55. I would like to see a brazilian player puting on a t shirt with Zambia on it. The problem is we all follow the global favorable wind and sometimes neglect our own selves. Zambia is a big country and wearing tshirts or attire with Zambian on it should be done by zambians first and the rest wil follow. These players are in the position of doing that and so should do it.

  56. Nine Chale shani mani. Please do not change that Gravatar. I like it. lol! Cheers guys and peace be with you. 3 is gone now. Ta!

  57. Slumdog, Why are you always rude to other bloggers? Teti walanda fye bwino? Finshi fya shupa apapene? What the other bloggers are saying is true. You are obviously not a soccer fan or even follower for that matter. You argument lacks depth and sense!

  58. #85 J The boy reminds me of Wacko (with his nose and him turning white). Why not wear Zambia in the sun T shirt?

  59. Ubututu bwekabweka !! I am looking for Zambian T shirts to wear kuno ku Europe imwe. I am tired of puting money in Pelle Pelle and Nike. Bushe does anyone know where I can place an order online?

  60. Pipo I have to go now tubelengeleko abakashi na bana that is ngankakwata Lesa ewishibe.

    I love you all and I always miss you when iam not on the blog. Peace be with you all. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! I will join you pa night after cooking for my niece and my nephew.Oh! and my lovely brother.

  61. #94. Ba Moze. Naine nika siniyiona. What I see in the picture is that the male artist is demonstrating ‘cyberspace’.

  62. #72 If playing for your national team is not official duty them you have to have your head checked. Ask yourself why these boys have to abide by curfew rules! Ubututu. Even when you are in the UK.

  63. Evelyn King, We know these things,hmmm. At my age sure? We even buy for others when we are in a good mood.ka.

  64. We need a kit manager for Chipolopolo. I though Zambrew is now the sponsor? But maybe because it not a full team, that is why they are dressed Zig-zag.

  65. You cant have a national team dressing kwati naba pena! No order whatsoever! Wabikapo na brazil! Tekupena uko?

  66. The Zambian player wearing a Brazilian jersey has no honour for his team. He fancies playing for Brazil, yet Zambia will be competing with Brazil at South Africa 2010 World cup. How ironic.

  67. Greetings to all, as I proceed let me first state this as much as the ladies dis-like Thandie, that woman is beautiful, Mukule and all. We are on a blog here therefore we do not know what faces are facing those pc/laptop/phone screens. Kapena benango muoneka ngati visikisa vachi buyu or mfinzi ya vula. Picture two is demonstrating the dangers of cyberspace giving hope that atleast even Zambia has knowledge of the evils we have seen abroad targetting our young precious ones. As for the raging football debate, let us all be rational yes he can wear what he wants nobody must mandate that we are free no Kaunda to cause Safari suit prisons on our mental. Slamdog is defending that but I do see where 3r fimo fimo is basing his point you too are correct sir/mam.point is their coaches are mute.

  68. Can some one tell FAZ that a national team in any disipline is supposed to have representavitves in a Tie and Jacket when tarvelling abroad or matching track suits.
    They are dressed like Kabovas . Nonsense

  69. Pipo footballers r at wok at they represent zambia. Wearing brazil t shirt is an off side. Silly so the team lands at jozi port looking zig zag? Why not wear uniform t shirt wth a flag of zambia. Hey those that r sayin its ok 2 wear wat they want r myopic.

  70. Jamaco just download flag of zambia n hav it printed on any choice of ur tshirt. Mine is a white golf t shirt wth a flag on left side. Luks mwaaa

  71. Imwe A Chikomeni village No#12 Myopicky Nivivichi ivo Mutupalila lol hahahahahahahahaha, we Know they have to wear national colours, it is only that they were allowed to dress down on this day thus it is okay for them to put on whatever. Question, what about the Many Zambians that support new teams like Arsenal and Chelsea religiously, is that Myopic? And above, England is not that great of a team the media always hypes them hahahahahahahaha, watch whar happens to them at the world cup.

  72. There we go Zambians again, LACK of PATRIOTISM in all we do.

    Adorning in certain colors, insignia/emblems exhibits ones allegiance, faith, love, belieef, loyalty etc in something. But in Zambia(including those suppoting the guy in a Brasil t-shirt), people do or say things blindly or ignorantly or they just have no sense of purpose or direction. Re-examine your conciousness fellow Zambians!

  73. #27 KA’DOYO
    Imwe nayimwe! When celebrities are copied nobody says ‘Chileshe!’ They just catch them unawares. The paparazi balishupa.

  74. Bati shuwa tu ma Zamban players twalipepuka!They need a nutritionist on the entourage. For these guys to win anything they will need fancy foot work as well as BODY. Otherwise they will be appealing to the ref all the time when they are pushed off the ball on ‘shoulder to shoulder.’ If the worst comes to the worst they should try steroids. Where is wiseman reborn to prescribe?

  75. I have read thru most bloggers wrt to footballer national colours while on duty. The general consensus is that most people feel we need to demonstrate some level of patriotism and loyalty while on national duty. Like I said before, national pride is vital to trigger a competitive spirit is sport. No wonder we always comes second-best at most tounnments. The poor un-educated footballer may not know what is good or right, but we expext FAZ in this case to guide our boy and cultivate the sense national pride.

  76. GBFC go on boys. You make me proud.National team players, guys for once try to dress up properly. You characters are representing the image of Zed. You look like Bozi Boziana’s dancers. Little go on with your acting, I know yo kaputula was not seen by that chap. But let it be ‘just acting.’ Nice pics LT.

  77. Ba L.T enough of football pictures not all of us r football fans.. I wish Hitler had banned football by start!!! HAHAHA

  78. These chaps!! so called football starts of Zambia..kwaliba ukufwala like they are Rhumba dancers??!?!?!!

  79. This is really attention-grabbing, You are an overly professional blogger. I’ve joined your rss feed and sit up for looking for more of your fantastic post. Additionally, I have shared your website in my social networks
