  • Considering the Time that this video was made, you expect this reporter to spend more time reporting what was going on in Congo and Zambia at that time. Though it may be a joke today but the purpose was to portray black people as dumb. It still goes on today because a story that sells with the BBC or FOX today on Africa, has to conform to certain stereotypes. Remember that this is before independence of Zambia. And the time Patrice Lumumba was Killed in Congo by Mobutu and this was important.

  • I am also a Zambian and very offended - offended that Zambians could be so stupid - Looking at the disastrous state of Zambia today one could say moon program was one of our successes! Moon-to!

  • @kumaisobele Thanks. definatley besides himself.

  • After 14 years of working all over Africa, I have come to appreciate the beautiful childlike innocence one can still find in Africa. Mr Ncoloso may have been an unfulfilled dreamer but his intentions were noble. If it wern't for dreamers and visionaries we would never had progressed as a race Mr Ncoloso just happened to be one of those dreamers who did not quite make it, one must admire his bravery and conviction no matter how whacky or laughable we may think his ideas were,

  • it probably was just a joke and the white people didn't get it.

  • Ibange libi bane !

  • Dont blame the man for trying!
