Kwena ku Zambia kwafiko!!
The chap who took the photos must have enjoyed the michopo also.
I miss Zambian hozamwina… michopo… whatever that is. And I miss that shakerz, beer with sir-name Chubuku ShakeShake, mixing with tu Mozi or Rhino make one sing in 5 minutes. So economical!!
Ubwalwa bwesu na Ba Sata…
Why is everyone complaining about these pictures? This is what you need to know in order for you to do something about it – you cannot solve a problem you do not know!
iyee nangu black is beautiful thats too much!
Damn you made my day?? True black is beautiful BUT THOSE HANDS CHOPING THE CHIPS?? OOOH NO. It’s like he is selling Amalasha.
Awe kwena iminwe ilya eeish
This is so dirty, and it seems people do not care. they go about normally.
these pictures are sad!!! surely my fellow Zambians,when are going to put liquor aside and do some constructive things??….very sad pictures ever!
And what tells you they dont do something constructive ? They are just having some social time . They have worked and made their money and are able to afford shake shake . At their level they are doing more than fine.
On going UNWTO preparations my foot.
Nauseating, disguting and totally pathetic pictures. While the world moves on, we are reminded of this…. When we advice, the “real zambians” who chose to stay talk all the crap..
mech Engines.. really? is that the country you come from? why is it so dirty?,, people look very dirty, poor and neglected!!!!
ndobo you are just an annoying knob. how old are you, is it between 55 or 70 years? Save some talk time for your great grand kids.
@peter..
why would you want to hang yourself because of those photo`???… laugh it off and do something about it, you are in UK, you can raise funds from buzungu there and do something about what you are seeing in those photo…..
I think we need to differentiate between the photos and the situations they are portraying. The photos are excellent and the subject selection is very insightful.
We may not like the subject and the situation shown but that is the reality of poverty, denying it will not end the suffering our people face.
Big up to Lusaka Times for the great photos! Please add the name of the photographer, they are doing a good job.
koma uyu ndiye uve zo-ona.
Ba monk balenwinapofye nachi “Chelsea” Shakelembe, Blue print, Shake shake…….
Chef can put his hands in his pockets; scratch his itchy balls, pick his nose, go to the bogue in full view comeback to peel potatoes with no water or tap in sight and chaps will still continue to buy from him. We are very very very filthy dirty chaps!
Pic #22, Second hand car tyres for sale? This explains why so many serious road accidents caused by burst tyres are on the increase. I think the majority of car owners and mini bus drivers keep this business thriving.
What was that argument that local Zambians don’t need Zambians in the diaspora again? Its pictures like this that makes those of us abroad want to weep.
SURELY, IS THIS THE LIVINGSTONE WAITING FOR UNWTO CONFERENCE WITH A LOT OF DUSTY ROADS AND NO ORGANISATION. I MISS THE HUNGARIAN SAUSAGES, THOUGH. I DON’T EAT SAUSAGES HERE. THEY DON’T HAVE REAL SAUSAGES BUT SOMETHING SIMILAR. AND WHICH A ZAMBIAN WOULDN’T EAT.
CNN, Reuters and BBC camera men are going to have a field day, totally spoiled for choice!
I’ve never been to the southern part of the country and quite frankly speaking, this is shocking on so many levels.
This place is supposed to be a world class tourist destination… people from all over the world visit Livingstone and this is how we keep the place? I don’t understand, what exactly is wrong with us Kanshi?
@ Phiri.. is that you in the picutre?,,, you look a sick person,,are you eating good food i wonder?..you also seem like you live in alex,,,,
Aa Phiri, which part of the country have you visited that is not like this? Livingstone has not been spared from the filth mwana.
@ndobo: Yes, that is me in the picture. The last time I went for a medical check up, there was absolutely nothing wrong with me; so NO, I am not sick. I am not quite sure what your definition of good food is, however, I manage to feed myself regularly. Unfortunately, I am not sure where ‘alex’ is…
@Kapotwe: I just assumed it was different… it’s really sad that things are the way they are –really sad.
phiri ati bwa? i didnt find u but i used you data @ comp scie…
@unzadotcoms; Bwino bwanji? Good to know someone made good use of the data 🙂 please drop me an email (firstname.lastname –gmail)
I have told you that we are in for a rude shock.
This is not the livingstone i knew when i was at Tech,omg
let us by our deeds by judged!!!!
That sausage is full of pork fat and less pork, traditional Hungarian sausage is made from the lean pork shoulder with garlic, salt, pepper and paprika for seasoning. Thank god I don’t touch pork and beef any more.
Picture number 12 made me loose my appetite! Cleaness is …
12 and 13. The arms too dirty my foot. These could be criminals killing taxi drivers or just trying to make ends meet.
Eish pa Zed Ubusali and yet Livingstone Preparing for the WTO summit or whatever it is. Eish
LT THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US SEE HOW DIRTY OUR COUNTRY IS. THIS IS REALLY DEPRESSING. What preparation is there?? I am sure the whole Budget is Gone to Masebo’s Pocket. IT’s LIKE NO ONE CARES. VERY VERY DIRTY TOURIST CAPITAL. IT IS EMBARRASSING
Dirty,filthy,unhygienic zambia where people are allergic to meticulous and painstaking work process.If one can just sit around such filth then wonder no more why we’re poor.In developed states folks cannot let themselves live around such scenes as they’ll clean,they’re disciplined on maintenance and that kind of diligence is transfered to their job.Everything they do is thorough and they demand so much of themselves.Not so in zed where lethargy is order of the day.Yuck!
Yaba. Look at the bowl that is being used to hold the potatoes! Filth to the nth degree. Pride ama Zambians where there ought to be humility. When Zambians abroad make suggestions what is the default response? “This is not America!” “This is not Australia!” Yes we know it is not. That is why we are pointing out a few things that can and should change. Other countries take pride in their diaspora and they use it well. Kenyans being a good case in point. Not to mention Indians who have leveraged the influence of Indians everywhere to their benefit. Ba Zambia bena all they have to say is “bweleniko fye”. And always hoping that every Zambian is working a bottom of the rung job. It baffles especially since Zambians abroad celebrate Zambian successes at home and always hope for the best…
Pictures tell a story of despair, poverty, filth and helplessness. But I think this is only one side of the story, clearly the journalist went to the worst part of the city. Just the other day I was watching a documentary about Rio De Jeneiro in Brazil. Trust me the living conditions of people in slums there is not any better than the slums in Zambia despite Brazil being one of the fastest growing economies!
Very true the former defensive midfilder.. Even great cities like New York have a dirty side of it with people living below the poverty line. Livingstone has alot of nice places and the journalist concentrated on dirty areas
Blessed is the hand that cuts potatoes.
Blessed are the hands that make chitumbuwa
Diaspora Zambians are such a shame. Some of you have quickly forgotten where you come from, the place that gave you the free education that enabled you to get jobs where you are and now you think the primark clothes you shower your relatives with make you special having forgotten about the vigamba and shoeless feet you went thru. Talk about what you can do for your country rather than being critical of every thing.The diaspora was not built by you and not place is sweeter than home. One day mukabwela and you will be shocked at how the country has moved on. Stop being misled by WD a publication built on hatred and frustration. Napwa.
Well said Jim. Instead of coming up with ways to make the situation better they are laughing.
Asking our country to do better is not the same as being critical.In any case to come to any improvement one has always to go thru rough edges and its always darkest before dawn.
Would you rather see your friends cheer you on even as your drive down to ruin or would you rather they tell you the bitter truth that’ll save you from much bigger headache or even death? I guess pragmatism is not your forte.
Yuck!!
pic 5 not too bad. pic 16 awe recipe iyi yashupa everything fried together lol.
Seriously reporters, is this what you are showing to the world- the dirt in your backyard!!!- so you can attract and heap more negative comments. Cultivate some patriotism and try to focus on positive issues.
pic 5.. looks good but pic 16 .. recipe yachilamo frying everything together lol
Yaba poverty is really growing in Zambia. You cannot see anyone doing anything productive but drinking and eating dirty food! Those people should be employed to clean and take care of the surroundings in those cities they live. Young people being wasted like that zoona!
Pic 12, those hands are very dirty but kudos to him for trying to make a living for himself and his family.
Ku chila using those hands for stealing. Lets face it, so many like him don’t stand a chance of getting meaningful employment.
I can not laugh or turn my nose at him. He is doing what he has to do. These pictures are very moving.
The hands that rocked the michopo!! All I see is flies and shake shake
As someone has mentioned above, these folk are making a living. The Department of health just needs to educate them on hygiene and healthier cooking.
Pic#12 – Just an observation. The black is transferring to the potatoes!
Nothing wrong with these pictures. That’s just the way we get by…
Dirt,y Dirty food preparation, gives those of us in so called diaspora at least one more reason not to dare being in that filthy environment. I hope things improve though…
#31 the health department can do nothing. sata legalised fifth and that is what we are getting. the health department is filth itself.
To my friends that are out there in other countries, I despise your thinking about your very own country those people you see in the pics are what Zambia is all about so don’t go bragging about and passing very silly comments about the pics and the reality of the life an average Zambian lives, by the end of the day you are Zambian it makes no difference where u are that’s not you country, if you decline being Zambian then leave our little Zambia alone but remember chance always favors the prepared.
