This was being done to detect any diamonds that might have been smuggled out by the miners.
Now repeated exposure to X ray cause problems like cancer. And this being 1950s technology, the dose of x-ray in the machines must have been very high. Compounding to health problems.

Jose Mourinho didn’t promote counter attacking football - playing on the break and quick attacking transitions - for men to still insist on tiki taka. It would be a travesty.
Last time I bought perfume from ‘a friend’ at K1,500 after negotiating it down from K1,800.
Today, I serendipitously found the very same perfume going for K255 at this shop in Freedom Way.
And we blame politicians for being greedy??
A common picture of unemployed, remote-hogging, juice-finishing, 1000-question-asking, all-day fridge opening, vegetable hating, all day pooping, bath hating, Jim Jam junkies, snack vacuuming monsters enjoying herself.
When PF came into power in 2011, Zambia's GDP was $23.5 billion and our debt, $1.9 billion (8.4% of GDP).
When PF left power in 2021, GDP was $21.7 billion and debt at $27 billion (124% of GDP).
Retrogressed decade.
Unbelievable that 1.8 million Zambians wanted PF to continue
For the Msc Programme at CBU, I'm paying K13,500 in school fees per annum to help me improve on critical, conceptual and analytical thinking.
My kids are paying K12,840 each per annum in Kindergarten to help them improve on singing Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes.
The last time Patricia Scotland and Olusegun Obasanjo were in Zambia together was to intervene in HH's detention at Mukobeko Maximum Security Prison by ECL et al.
And she has subtly touched that subject.

We accidentally splashed a cyclist water. We later stopped our vehicle & apologized but he wanted a monetary apology- iya sopo.
About 2Kms after that exchange, a tsetse fly entered our vehicle. As we were all trying to chase it out, we found ourselves almost flipping…
Meali meal prices will be the end of UPND.
Zambians vote out political parties, they don’t vote in any party.
You can’t practice free market economy on foodstuffs in an economy where more than 50% of the population live below a dollar a day.
Privilege is preposterous.
Chipata is today on a standstill for the annual cycling competition called Chova.
It beats me that the country can't produce anyone for global cycling competitions when talent aplenty.
Dr Chitalu is doing a great job, yes. But he's a MOUTHPIECE for people who are really working at MoH & ZNPHI to control & contain

. Calling for him to be PF front runner in 2021 because of this is, is misguided. Were his issues ACC concluded, btw?
We've chronic amnesia.
Almost 19:00hrs, this bank management has gone out of its way to ensure that farmers who delivered maize to FRA all get paid today before they knock off.
If only all of us can have results determining the time we lock our offices, Zambia can walk South Korean path soon.
HH seems to have a genuine hate for cadres (and may even mean well for the country) but he has a lot of elements in UPND bent of frustrating him.
A lot UPND members admired how PF cadres used to behave and benefit, and would want to the same windfall.
I order a Yango in Ndola from Kasenshi to Levy Mwanawasa Stadium.
Driver: how much has the app brought on your phone?
Me: K47
Driver: Top up a K15
Me: For what?
Driver: Because the Yango price is too low boss.
Me: How’s that my problem?
Zambian Banks
- Close at 2pm because of covid-19
- Only allows 10 people max in the banking hall at a time because of covid-19
- Have 1 teller to attend to all because of covid-19
- The teller either fidgets with his phone or disappears in between clients because of covid-19.
In 2010, the world worked together to rescue 33 miners in Chile.
In 2018, the world worked together to rescue 12 boys and their soccer coach in Thailand.

Do you know that the Zambia Army derive most of their barracks names from Myanmar?
During WW2, the Zambian National Defense Force, by then called Northern Rhodesia Regiment, fought for the crown in a multi-ethnic military unit which was raised by the British colonial government.

If I was in UPND I would have been saying like so:
“when we formed government, we discovered many wrongs and inefficiencies we didn’t know prior and as a result, expectations and promises about the positive change and it’s pace will have to be moderated”
Not fyonse, ati ni PF.
Not just ZP, but Zambia Security Intelligence Service, ZICTA, (investigative) journalists and our collective loss of our neighbourliness should also be blamed for the delay in rescuing those girls.
@BBCAfrica
Whats wrong with this page? The provocative heading was just to bait clicks? African govts instituted preventive measures early, even before a single case was recorded in some cases. Have you ever heard protests against masks in Africa or because people want to the beaches?
Just lost a relative in an RTA that happened in Chongwe this evening.
She concluded her exams at Chalimbana by 5pm and by 6pm she was gone, the fragility of this life we live.

Zambia's HIV infections dropped from 77,500 in 2010 to approximately 43,000 in 2016 amongst adults while in children from 26,000 in 2010 to 4,000 in 2016. -

Some good news from MoH, at least. Congratulations to all doing their part in making this achievement.
When I was marrying, they had charged me 15pin.
I whispered to Ba Yama that I only had a 10pin.
Ba Yama told them that I could only manage 5pin & that they should take it or leave it.
I ended up paying 7pin, gave Ba a 1pin as commission and 2pin to the would be Mrs.
As a matter of perspective, Faith Musonda had K65 million and $57,900 in cash and property worth K17 million.
She - or whoever gave her thst money - would have paid off these retirees and remained with K10 million as change.
Your government has cleared the outstanding K72,984,143.81 retirement benefits for former

HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM.
3 days ago, someone forfeited $24 million to the state which was deemed to be proceeds of crime.
I expected youths to be so interested and mad with these continuous non-conviction forfeitures.
But no. They’re irked with the commissioning of toilets.
The fact that mobile money service providers can give me a K4500 loan without asking for collateral or let alone know where I live in case I default, is a serious indictment on banks.
In 2018, Zambian and Russia’s Rosatom signed a contract for the construction of a Center for Nuclear Science and Technology (CNST) to be located in Chongwe.
What’s the status of the construction?

held a radio phone-in program to interact with Zambians.
And he pledged more engagments with the public through the media.
It's been 5 months since the last engagement.

Why didn't your marriage last??
Prof Luo: Men cannot handle high flying women as they become insecure of a more educated women.
Dr Manda: Maybe other men less educated than her, not me. Prof Luo and her family thought that I was a hindrance to her political ambitions.
One family with 140 properties? And 29 year old with K195.1 million and $4.6 million in a bank account?
After benefitting this much, we all would have voted for a named political party in a pretext of
exercising our democratic rights.
A summary of Hatembos Vs Nawakwi saga.
If anything written here is to go by, ZP may not be doing their job. And why is Nawakwi keeping the Hatembos children?? Is that not abduction??

Nigeria produces 1.6m barrels of oil per day.
If oil is $100/barrel, they just need 5 months of continously production to have the $22.8b they're begging for from China Exim Bank.

My officemate was this morning robbed at gunpoint when he went for jogging around 5am. Likely, the cowards only managed to get a watch from him because that's all he had on him.
Those who go jogging, be careful. Or better yet, run in groups.
Delete this.
Inciting mutiny is a crime in Zambia. Read sections 48 and 49 of Chapter 87 of the Laws of Zambia which is the penal code talking about mutiny.
African countries are slowly liberating themselves, Chad , Burkina Faso,Niger etc... Soon Zambians will realize that Our Democracy is been used to exploit the ordinary Citizen .This is a wake up call to our men & women in uniform , time to fight & Defend Mother Zambia is Now !!
After years of talk, UPND have missed an opportunity to depoliticise the civil service with the recent DC and PS appointments.
Every passing day, Sean Tembo is getting exonerated.
This driver has unknowingly created the greatest advert for the

Look at the number of vehicles that were stranded. I’ll have to change my prayers and start asking for a Nissan Patrol instead of a Toyota Fortuner.
