Ba ELECTRIC GOAT -03/11/11,08:21., intellects in this field will never criticise that way more especially to a journalist, but correct with courtesy.There are vehicles considered electrical whereby final drive system use electric(traction) motors with a generator driven by fuel engine and then the above one whose motors are directly driven by d.c. batteries like electric wheel chairs.The earlier is quite complex to make but very economical to utilise,sometimes better than our usual vehicles. TUMFWEKO NO PROVISION FOR REPLIES TO COMMENTS,Thanx!

This encourages me so much, guys it is not easy to be cultivated in subsaharan africa and become an automotive engineer, a designer for that matter! We simply have to give them ‘A HAND’. These guys’ve laid a milestone and thanx givin to there G.R.U. In Chimwemwe somebody used his moneys and initiative to manufacture juices illegally using sombody else’s trade mark,instead of government to recognise and finacially back him and his intellect wife after serving charges, they were left in disdain, frozen so. What more sponsoring big projects.My self here in Lumwana just put up and tested on my vehicle a security system if tempered with, my cell phone rings, where ever i may be. The simplest i did only costed me about 150pin.Thanx giving to CBU freshers for exciting me with this. I do customise vehicle electrics.

This is the truth whichever way we choose to look at it, and i do well know that truth has a piercing sensation to the ear, so am ready for any stick. Zambia has continued to churn out half-baked or sub-standard graduates period. The excuse of not having enough funding may not really hold anymore. The other hype we get of Zambian doctors or graduates performing well, no actually the word doing the rounds is ‘Wonders’ in their tour of duty outside the country as expatriates. After the checks i have done, am afraid this is more myth than anything. It pretty much exists only as a mere figment of the imagination of whoever chooses to utter such unfounded balderdash. The cornerstone of any emerging nation which wants to feed off its educational system or its production of intellectual elites ultimately needs to have a strong research oriented approach to development. This country’s research structures are pretty much non-existent. What? Mount Makulu Research station or the clique at NCSR(National Council for Scientific Research) busy looking into maize and cassava varieties! Ooh please move over!
P.S To Brother John Bravo above this, ‘thats wat happens if u have good education infrastructure and equipments.’ Does seem like an excuse from a former graduate student trying hard to justify why they can never emulate their Ugandan counterparts in making technological milestones such as Kiira EV.
And finally on a rather small matter Ku Bo John Bravo above, kindly know that the word equipment is never pluralised as equipments anywhere in the world, am only saying do not lynch me dah!!

NOW THAT’S NEWS. Iam sure my friends have considered adding allowable NOISE especially to pedestrians, that’s one way of reducing avoidable accidents.

That is what happens when students spend time learning and not striking or making political statements.
