I normally don’t review music, but I’m compelled to comment on the Sun FM Kwacha Music Award 2022 presentation ceremony to underscore a few miscalculations. It was held on October 1, 2022, at Mulungushi International Conference Center. Before I punch holes, I congratulate the upcoming Chililabombwe-based musician, Chile One, for scooping 5 awards at the […]

Although there have been notable strides to improve film production in Zambia in the past decades, the works leave a great deal to be desired; especially with those who operate behind the scenes. Perhaps many producers lack education in film production, but you will be happy to know that there is a school right here […]

No one likes it when they are watching their favorite TV show, then suddenly an advert pops up. Perhaps the only time you welcome an ad is when you are pressed with a call of nature, and there is a commercial break, or when you want to go and attend to something on the stove. […]

This is another review of Butuku – When love is pain. Previously, you would think you were watching two stories in one movie. That was before the two families (Javan’s and David’s) crossed their paths. Now there is a connection between them, and it’s one story. We knew they would link up one day, just […]

From the posts on a Facebook page called Butuku ZNBC, we can tell that the audience of the soap opera entitled Butuku is growing by the day. That’s the only platform where I based my survey unless you know of another. Kibutuku is a Lozi word that means pain; in this case, ‘when love is pain.’ […]

Dear Sir, I trust that you are well and preparing to take on the huge challenge of restoring Zambia on the path of prosperity. I write again to you sir and hope that my concerns shall be favourably considered this time around. As an ordinary concerned citizen who voted a few days ago, the following […]

A few weeks ago, I tossed a die on Snakes and Ladders hoping to spoil myself with the movie that features a balanced combination of geriatrics of the entertainment industry and newbies. Prominent among them is Marlon Changa Kalumba who appeared in City on Fire. Here is what I saw: A plain-clothed policeman nabs a […]

From Uganda comes Hostel, a 2011 Fast Track Production ‘dramedy about the endless struggles, frustrations and challenges that affect students at higher institutions of learning especially those who reside in hostels.’ It just beats my understanding why Multichoice must start a movie from season two. If ever season one was shown on Zambezi Magic, it […]

It’s yet another setback back for Zuba to permanently lose a character whose slot has been conspicuously vacant for some time now. The death, in real life, of Jessy Dingase Phiri who acted as Emelia, a maid in the Sosala family, is a big blow, not only to the viewers, but also to the casting […]

Another movie that sets off with the grip to draw a large following on Zambezi Magic Channel is Nseke. Literally, nseke means seeds. But it can also be translated as the upcoming. I guess this is the meaning in the movie. In Wangu village, a girl named Wathu (Wezi Mwansa) goes missing. A search for […]
