  1. Hmmm picture #10..is that how our female ministers dress now..we have a crop of new ministers. Times have changed. The madam’s dressing would compete well with my teenage daughter’s dressing hands down.

  2. Imagine. katoloshi ba Angela Cifire not Nyirenda imwe a LT. Ha its fit for young stars. Is she trying to be a juvenile? na ka star kumbuyo yaba i will buy north star shoes for her when i go back home.
    FTJ for once i thought it was JZ, P. Diddy, Lil Wayne or Flo rida. what a pose bakateka

  3. LOL

    The cartoon is funny. Cant wait for the new addition to LT (NTHEYE’s WORLD)

  4. hahahhahaha somebody needs to tell our boxers that ‘heavyweight’ doesnt mean ‘fat’. they dont even look fit. be huge yes but have a 6-pack at least. yaba..

    • Awe sure.That other chap looks too fat to be a boxer. Can some one look into that urgently because such boxer may end up dead in the ring…………….

    • Kabobola should watch his weight…what kind of training does he engage into for boxing because he is completely out of shape.

    • serious mwandi,is that a boxer,hahahahaha..yachita over..no six park just chimimba ati ni boxer

    • ……Acita ova .I thot nika njobvu mu ring … At first I thot ni Yokozuna mu fight yaku Japan… Let us be serious bane , its boxing not sumu…. .

    • ….Eeee mwandini .., Tho ni spotisi day , minista ni minista.. these female folk should dress like ministers with ulemu or umucinshi not monga tuma girls twapa Chifwani or Jacaranda… let them emulate the late Congo first lady or UNIP ladies … Tifuna kabvalidwe kabwino pa zed …
      kambapo Francis makule ..

  5. Pic # 4! The second lady looks more like a headteacher. Keeping up appearances is very important.

    • Lace lace ni old fashion,cant she hire those tht used to keep up thr 1st Ladies (Maureen) appearance.Kuti nakana ine dressed like tht ndefukama ati bapongoshi pa Kitchen party teti.

      Hw r u my dearest frnd

    • Hey Friend, how are you doing? My week was super espcially after Man U’s humiliating defeat at the hands of Liverpool!

    • Mine was Ok,was jus excited over our white washing and embarrasing Man U at Old Trafford for that matter.I didnt see it tho,nali ku Nkoloma Stadium

  6. pic 11,angel gat butt too,she is some phat booty ,…lol

    damn flabby Boxers with 1 packs,they need to grow up and get some physic,too much shakers nakabwali,so flabby with stomachs like a 6 months pregnant woman,damn.That a the reason we fail to tick,cause the whole thing is a mis-representation,weak ,lame boxers,they all look like RB.

  7. GOOD HIPS pic 10 whatever your name is. For the fat boom boom, its not like that, please tell those things to spend more time training and not in restaurants.

  8. Its like two dudes fighting after drinking kachasu,cause the other dude wasnt making rounds,sickening.weak boxers,sweating oil and grease,gat damn it

  9. Nice Pictures. Gives a good reflection of what was going on. However, please run a spell check, you are embarrassing us, like we never been to spell and grammer class.

  10. Nice ones. I wonder if the boxer Ackson Kabobola Nyirenda does more training than drinking or vise versa. A tummy kwati ni Oberlix sure !!

    • Unfortunately thats what is called health in zed. How can an athlete eat or drink himself to obesity?

  11. Folks,drop it please………what wrong with the female minister wearing slacka??That’s the way all women dress now and dont tell me that just because someone is a minister,then she has to dress like we’re still in the stone age days)))))Bra!!!

  12. Picture number 7,nice pose (iya bu crook fye)

    Manje Mrs Kunda fimofimo yashani skirt bafwele?tentenkanya those days are gone

    • Chachine Ba Moze ni ka pose ka mu film kalya (Notorious FTJ) aba ni down. Nomba ninshi abakashi baba Kunda skirt yashani?Pantu na MMD cadre amonekapo bwino mu chitenge.

    • Teti wishibe amafashoni aya webakashana. Pantu these days kwaliba na sagging skirt!!

  13. LT, thanks. You keep us connected home. Pic 10: Dress code in our old good days stated that No sleeveless top for ‘Public-Civil Servants’. T-shirts were the rule of the day. Contents of the armpit were revered as personal and private. Have rules changed for our ladies Could we have more pictures from other parts of the country too? Bless you all people of motherland.

  14. I thought those boxes were comedians before a main fight. No you guys are joking.

  15. Ha ha!! pic 15 ba kabobola is that heavy weight or OVER WEIGHT!!!! lol N PIC 10, Camera man savela!! that angel?? no comment!!!

    • Hey Chale! atishani? How is Chubby Cheeks? Jamaco should not this! he will skin me alive!

    • Shani Baby C, how was your weekend? I took Chubby Cheeks & co. to the countryside over the weekend and he caught a cold. Otherwise he’s OK. Don’t worry about uncle Jamaco, I think he’s just a little jealous! Lol.

  16. Is that the Kung Fu Panda of Zambian Boxing or should I say Humpty Dumpty vs. Pepe Kalle?Ha ha ha!

  17. Picture #6, Another change I have noticed: Wasn’t Chibamba Kanyama a Born Again from Northmead Assemblies. If am not mistaken was he not an Elder or Deacon I see he is now Zambian Breweries PLC corporate Affairs manager . Maybe things have changed. Is is still active in church and what is the church position now. Back then you wouldn’t use Zambia Breweries in the same sentence with a Born Again (BA) Christians. Again I guess things have changed. The BAs I knew back then now literately close night clubs here. How things change. Somebody enlighten me.

    • Serving too masters,God and Satan,he is partking with Non belivers,yet he claims to be a BA,he is busy brewing demons

    • thats debatable. its not the alcohol but what comes as a result of taking alcohol!!

    • the bible clearly states that give strong drink to those that are perishing,how v=can you debate with the bible.I know you drink so do I,we are hell bound unless we change.It clearly says that get drunk with the holy spirit and not alcohol

    • KCM and other Mines manufature copper which is used to make Bullets which are used to kill innocent poor africans in africa, does that make the workers of KCM murderers.

    • Zambian breweries also happens to be the maker of Coca cola, Fanta, sprite and many other soft drinks in Zambia. Are you going to tell me Born Agains will not take theses drins in Zambia because they are produced by the same company which brews beer? Of course not. In which case it is unrealistic for any person to say they won’t work for Zambian breweries based on their religious beliefs. Especially in these harsh economic times when empolyment is so tough, if you take the high moral grounds you will just end up starving

    • They are jokes indeed. I concur with you. A doc should have declared them both unfit!

  18. The boxers don’t look fit. Galagata should not even attempt for international fighting. They should try SUMO WRESTLING.

  19. Kabobola was beaten so badly that enze kuwona tunyoni tu chova njinga! From the expression on his face, he seems to be asking the ref ati,”Twalatampa lisa?” (after the fight!!)

  20. Looking at the size of Kabobola’s tummy, i doubt if he can see the colour of the shoes he is wearing! Not to mention fimo fimo!! Very embarassing mwe. Ati ba heavyweight champion! In Japan, he would be idolised as a potential sumo champion.

    • My son hw r u?1 observation,u only appear when thr r boxing pix.Wat do u say abt pix #14,wat was he tryin 2do(Fly) and also pic #7

    • Zoe, i have already commented on the new champion on #33. I comment on boxers because they are extremely comical. I mean, just look at kabobola. You mean if he was the only man left on earth Zoe, you mean you would ntwane?

    • Nakalya iyo.Seems their tummies r full of water.Paliba fye fi comedy pa Zambia ukwambila kuli President kwaliba?

  21. Hmm, anyway, ba minister has a nice ntwanikane! She was obviously advertising there. If others can do it, why not you mama? Kuti washalila wesu!

  22. And can the new champion Galagata be warned and seriously advised that such celebrations have the potential to make one release certain undesirable sounds and bad gases from certain parts of the body??

  23. pipo lets be serious ……..is Kabobola a boxer?ichilufumo….a boxer is supposed to have muscle NOT fat!

  24. Baby C and Ba Moze how are you mwebantu?………….thats FAAAAAAAAT ….not muscle no wonder kabobola was hammered……….very typical of zed mentallity +percerption …….ati umuntu nga “ayina” ninshi ali healthy ha hah ha heh(zedians consider being fat as a sign of good health) very behind

  25. How can you have boxers in the same colour of trunks?.Teti wai toba ikofi thinking it’s your opponent?.

    • nipa ZED bakaamba…full of comedy…everywhere from the presido to boxers to ministers to church pastors….

    • Ala wansekesha sana mune! Iyo kwena, i agree with you there. Its dangerous lol!!

  26. Why did the photographer take a picture of Angela Cifire’s behind?!! Bby C OBJ that’s exactly what I was thinking does Galagata have muscle or is it muscle disguised as fat!! What is his coach advising him?!

  27. Ala ba LT munveka bwino ngako! you make us feel pa zed ka!

    Pic 10,ANJE! Anje! mwana wesu,finshi namona ku mbuyo? Wikabwekeshapo leaving your ass ku camera,walatupwisha pa zed!

    Pic7, Guys, FTJ akafwa na dressing code. The guy can dress, bakamubweseshe amasuti yakwe! As for Pic15, ba Papa Kabobola is not Heavy weigt,but OVER Weigt.

  28. Pic 4, I guess the second lady is not the one in yellow tshirt but the one in chitenge, ba LT clarify

  29. Hellow pipo!!!!!!! Baby C. Ghost Dog, Jamaco, Nine Chale,FTJ, Ba Moze and the rest, how are you???

    • Hi abena Tionge!! Yaba, pa Zed ubwafya! Ba Kabobole bali ba ponona. As for the IG in the first picture, its good he does not go on patrols, because his own officers would shoot at him! Honestly, with that gun in his hands, he looks thugish!

  30. Just a suggestion…i think our president and vice president should swap wives basing it on body stature…does anyone agree with me?

  31. Hey, you guys let’s be serious. Do you call that boxing or ‘obesity punch about’? Too much lager ne fibwali.

  32. Picture 7 is very interesting, just like the other few ones of uncle Freddy of late. Is the “Keeping Up Appearances” anything to do with a date in July???

  33. nice pics but ba boxer he is too massive is he for real or they doing the match for charity?

  34. WHICH DOCTOR CERTIFIED THESE FAT COMEDIANS FIT? STANDARDS IN EVERYTHING ARE FALLING IN ZAMBIA. BY THE WAY, WHERE ARE THESE CHAPS GETTING THE EXTRA MULEMFWE WHEN THE MAJORITY ARE LOOKING LIKE CASH COWS? ARE THEY IN THE CORRIDORS OF POWER? TELL THOSE BOXERS THAT THEY ARE NOT FIT BUT FAT.
