I can assure you, mate, that she had to count the ceiling and floor tiles when and how he wanted. Zamahala zinata. Front door, back door, kitchen floor, garden, kumweshi, kaufela, wherever, whenever... 'Back it on up...'

And you know what they say about 1.5's, te? They want to assert their presence, kaili they think they are short and cannot be easily seen so, muchifukushi, ni vuka-vuka like there's no tomorrow.

I know the man is dead and respect for the dead and all, but man, the dude had a libido that was out of control. Imagine stealing another man's wife when you know you are in the public spot light. Some guys at least steal wives in obscurity, away from public scrutiny,, not so openly! gees.

Matope, I agree with you all the way . . . ambidextrous- ability to use both hands with great ease. Yes one hand held the Bible and the other . . .

Female,

NAIL ON THE HEAD!! And props to whoever thought of that one, all encompassing adjective; ambidextrous. I am so proud to be Zambian right now.

Can I take this translation to the bank or is this just a joke? i don't want to use it and then peoples laugh at me.

Guest,
that was Matope who posted the word. Although being typical Zambian, I had to look up the correct spelling in the dictionary. Otherwise I would write it phonetically;)

The correct spelling is kleptomaniac. Missed out the 'a'. You can take it to the bank now...

'Lesa ni malyotola' loosely translates into 'God is a vindicator'. The kleptomaniac translation was intended to be sarcasm. A thief, or kleptomaniac, in Bemba is 'Kabolala', or 'Kabwalala', not quiet sure.
