“Streetism” in Lusaka

24th Sep 2010

Like strings on an acoustic guitar, roads run parallel across the city of Lusaka from North to South. We have Cairo Road, Freedom Way, Cha Cha Cha and Lumumba Roads. From East to West, we have Independence Avenue, Church Road and the Great East Road. All these roads are around the town centre of Lusaka, the capital city of Zambia. The city is very busy during the day with people from all walks of life walking in different directions and there are so many cars on these roads. At night there are few activities because most people not live in the city centre, but go to their homes in different residential areas.
However, there are some people who do not go to their residential areas, because the streets of Lusaka are their workplace and home. They say life is how you take it. How would you take yours if you were living on the streets of the city of Lusaka?

Kuomboka Ceremony of the Lozi People: Mongu, Zambia

24th Apr 2009

Each year in Zambia’s Western Province the Litunga – the King/Paramount Chief of the Malozi people, moves in a symbolic ceremony known as the Kuomboka (“get out of water”).

The festive event is celebrated each year at the end of the rainy season (around March/April) when the upper Zambezi River floods the plains of Western Province
