“Zambia will next week on December 4 and 5, 2008 expected to host…” Which one is which, will … host or expected to host?
Hi Maestro
Good gesture. But what we should realise is that peace can only come about when people have enough to eat and are able to meet their basic needs. You cannot preach peace to a hungry person simply because when one is hungry, he does not think with his brain but with his stomach. Africa must find best strategies of integrating African economies and develop our rich continent. Otherwise, the imperialists will continue raping our beautiful and rich continent.
This is a tourist boom, at least thats the only things we can get out of such an event.

I just farted.
#2. YES Pumpy, how has been your day? What is your take on this topic?
African Unity is a must. Nuff talk has ahready been done, it is time to live it up.
You can see how low our educational standards have sunk. Journalists who can construct sentences. Its not only LT but all newspapers. Arrest Chiluba, he really destroyed our fantastic education system that saw good scribes, good orators and good lawyers but in today’s kids that can only be a dream. What a mistake we made in 1991. Shame on us.
what kind of bull is this?
Blah blah blah blah…..yall happy friday!
you are wasting money at sun hotel which can be used for developmental programmes. take them to herbert young in lusaka it very cheap.
Yea waste of money. We arev better off joining NATO
how come we cant host things such such the olympic games or the world cup,they just bring useless gatherings here such as this one
They will be paying their own money which will remain in Zambia.
What disease are you suffering from you tramps — Negativity? You must have contracted it from SATA, who has just won a nobel price for negativity
#12 You must be crazy or worse Earl. Which country of 10 million people can host the World Cup or Olympics?
They need revenues from people to watch the games and 10 million is too small apopulation.
Are you another tramp suffering from negativity and where do you think it will take your country.
# 16.You should learn to shut up when you have nothing positive to contribute to topic.Its important to respect other peoples`s opinions.We need people who can intellectually and objectively analyse current issues affecting us.Admittedly,those jokers are only coming as tourists and to make money for sleeping at sun and reading long and senseless speaches,shame.

#19 and why not spend the money at a Zambian hotel pliz…
#17/#18 And whwt is wrong with people who are spending their own money in Zambia and keeping our people in jobs reading long and senseless speeches?
You are addicted to being negative and you can’t even tell when you are not making sense. I hope Zambia is your country and I hope you will try to give it aspiration when you post.

AU, SADC, NEPAD and such nonsense are a waste of time. Look at how they have failed Zimbabwe. Today Zimbabweans are dying like locusts as a result of cholera. Peace, what peace? Give us a break.
#22, they want to spend money in our hotels. Please tell me what is wrong with keeping our hotel workers employed.
If you are jelous that is another issue.
#16, Canada with 36 million people has hosted the Olympics and U20 world cup, even Switzerland hosted the Euro cup. What are you talking about?
