Bad Timing, is the first the Zambia feature film and companion documentary. This feature film depicts the human experiences dramatically presented on Zambia’s contribution to the liberation struggles in Southern Africa.
Here is a short clip of the feature film:
I am so excited that I will be going home( Zambia) to visit my family today. My flight is booked and I have printed out my e-ticket.
I have missed home so much. Here is the thing…for the past three years, I have gotten used to the British basic necessities for instance, no uninterrupted power 24 hrs a day, let alone hot water when I want it without power cut.
Home is home, atleast it is sunny everyday all I have to do when I land is slap on some sun-screen lotion to protect my skin from any sun damage.
Adios
Assistant coach of Ghana, Herve Renard has named as the new national football coach of Zambia.
Herve has coached in France, Vietnam, China and England, before teaming up with LeRoy in Ghana.
Herve replaces Patrick Phiri, whose contract was not renewed in March this year.
I hope Zambia qualifies for the 2010 games!
Load shedding and power cuts have became part and parcel of the Zambia people. Without electricity no work gets done. A lot of damages through daily power cuts is destroying TV sets, freezers etc.
There is no proper explanation for the recurring nightmare of power cuts from both Zesco and government. The rehabilitation of the power plant has been going on for as long I can remember with no significate improvements.
Lusaka Magistrate’s court issued a bench warrant against a Lusaka teacher and was charged with impersonating a medical doctor and allegedly administering fake HIV/AIDS drugs to unsuspecting Lusaka residents at a fee of K5 million.
The accused was allegedly injecting HIV/AIDS patients with a mixture of amino acids claiming that he was injecting them with a drug called tetrasil.
I was alarmed when read this on the Times of Zambia website that people with HIV/AIDS were being duped by this man who obviously has no conscious.
I thought that the Zambian government provided free medication to HIV/AIDS patients.
A senior reporter from Times of Zambia last month April was assaulted and detained for over an hour at Chipata Central Police for taking pictures of police officers who were manhandling a cyclist for allegedly breaking traffic rules.
This kind of violence by police is depressing. How can the police who are supposed to uphold the law behave in such a manner?
It is worry that people can not control themselves when it comes to sex. The necessity of encouraging the use of condoms in the fight against HIV and AIDS cannot be overemphasized.
Continuing to reject the use of condoms will make the spread worse than the current situation. I think condoms should be used whenever there are sexual relations to aviod infections such as STI’s.
According to the Zambia Country Report of January 31, 2008 reports that a significate increase was observed in the use of condoms for sexaully active young people.
I thought binge drinking was a British problem. My thoughts have changed now. It is so sad to see Zambian teenagers are abusing alcohol and drugs. I believe that the alcohol and drug abuse has become a worldwide problem.
I blame the parents and teachers for the abuse of alcohol and drugs among teenagers. It is worrying to see teenagers drinking alcohol with their teachers who are supposed to setting a good examples to the teenagers who are our future.
I remember in my school days, some of my friends abused alcohol to a point where they would be drunk during lessons. They often bribed teachers with expensive alcohol which they stole from their parents. Who would have thought that this would get out of hand? How does a teacher discipline a teenager if the teacher is setting bad examples?
Parents at home are forever sending their teenage children to buy them alcohol and cigarettes from pubs. The law should provide stiffer punishment for bars owners who allow teenagers to drink beer or buy from their premises.
Forgive me for commenting on an old article by Telegraph which run in March this year. The article was condemning Zambian government for the high visa charges.
I am foreign student living in London. My family has paid a lot money for me to be here. Before I was granted a visa, I had to go for a medical check up at a clinic that the British embassy had picked where I paid for tests and the cost was about £50 and the visa by then was about £101. This is not a guarantee that the visa will granted. The money paid to the UK embassy is non refundable.
The night before the interview, I had nightmares because I heard stories the interviews were horrible and that the immgration ask so many questions demeaning questions like ” that zambia is poor nation and that you will over stay in the UK” but what me thinking that if Zambia was so poor why do they still have an embassy in Zambia. I am sure that British government gaining somehow by still in the country.
Please note that British government have increased the visa charges more than once past three years.
Last month, Zambian football fans gathered in the capital to pay homage to their national football team heros who died in an air crash 15 years ago in Gabon on their way to Senegal to fulfil an international football match.
According to UKZambians, Deputy Sports Minister Richard Taima lead close family members of the footballers at the commemoration service at the teams grave site next to the Independence Stadium in the Lusaka.
All 30 victims including 18 players as well as the coaches and support team of the plane crash are buried outside the Independence Stadium.
April 28,1993 shall always be the darkest day and year to all Zambians.
