1Zambia: Complaining And Complimenting ElectronicallyZambia: Mitaraina sy Mandoka Amin'ny Làlana Elektronika
2Dear Zambia is not your usual website, with content being brewed by boffins in the background.Dear Zambia ( na Ho an'i Zambia) dia tsy toy ny Vohikala mahazatra anao izay ny votoatiny dia ireo manampahaizana sady mpikaroka siantifika no mametraka azy ao andamosina ao.
3Rather, the content is generated by Zambians who have got beef with anything going wrong in the country, or, indeed, those who have anything good to say about something, which is rare, unfortunately.Mifanohitra amin'izay, ny ao anatiny dia novokarin'ireo Zambiana voan'ny tsika'ombalahy noho ny zavatra tsy manjary eto amin'ny firenena, na, koa , ireo tsy manan-javatra tsara hambara mihitsy mikasika zavatra iray sarobidy, indrisy. Zarao ny efa niainanao niaraka tamin'ny fitantànana tao Zambia.
4The website has different categories, from government (ministries, police, departments, offices), to media (newspapers, television, radio) and embassies (Visas, Embassies/High Commissions to Zambia, etc.)Sary nindramina tamin'ny Dear Zambia Ilay vohikala dia manana sokajy maro miainga avy amin'ny governemanta ( ministra, polisy, departemanta, birao), ka hatramin'ny haino aman-jery ( gazety, fahitalavitra, onjam-peo) ary ny ireo masoivoho ( Visas, Ambasady/ Iraka Ambony ao Zambia, sns.)

7Dear Zambia, I only hope that the IG reads this or that he could be asked about the complaint I am about to make.Mino aho fa mba hamaky an'ito ny IG na mba afaka ny ho anontaniana momba ilay fitarainana izay kasaiko hatao.
8I have noticed for a long time that the traffic officers in Lusaka are truly and honestly corrupt and I wonder what the IG is doing about it.Tsikaritro hatry ny ela fa ireo manampahefanaamin'ny fifamoivoizana ao Lusaka dia tena mpanao kolikoly marina tokoa ary manontany tena ihany aho hoe inona no mba ataon'ny IG manoloana io.
9Many times I have used Kafue road I have noticed that sometimes there are speed traps or mere road blocks and I see that drivers merely pay the officers.Matetika aho mandalo amin'iny làlana Kafue iny ary mazàna dia misy fandrika amin'ny hafainganam-pandeha na sakan-dàlana ary hitako ireo mpamily manome vola fotsiny izao ho an'ireo polisy.
10I once saw a track driver get a few K50,000 and give his lorry boy who rushed and gave a police officer and off the went. The man had the audacity to even wink at me.Indray mandeha nahita mpamily kamiao naka K50,000 ary nanome izany ny mpanampy azy ary ity farany niolomay nanolotra izany an'ilay Polisy dia lasa nanohy ny dia. Ary tsy menatra akory io lehilahy io nipi-maso ahy.
11What is the IG doing about this?Inona no mba ataon'ny IG eo anoloan'izany ?
12What is the point of having traffic officers who are bribed and let unroadworthy cars on the road?Inona ny dikan'ny hametrahana polisy eny an-dalambe raha hanao risoriso sy hamela fiara tsy tokony hifamoivoy handeha ?
13Does this make sense?Mba misy dikany ve zany?
14Could digital technology provide the solution to the scourge that has eaten into the Zambian moral fiber, filming police corrupt activities?Afaka manome vahaolana ve ny teknolojia amin'io aretina nikiky ny ara-moralin'ny Zambiana io, amin'ny fakàna sary ny risoriso ataon'ny polisy ?
15Cameraman plans to film corrupt police using his cellphone:Mpaka sary niomana hampiasa ny findainy hakàna sary polisy nanao risoriso :
16Kasosi,Kasosi,
17I am seriously considering filming in secret using my cellphone when I am next caught at a police checkpoint.Tena mihevitra haka sary miafina amin'ny alàlan'ny findaiko marina aho amin'ny manaraka rehefa mba tratra aminà toeram-pisavàna iray.
18Or ask a passenger to do that while I bribe my way through.Na hiangavy olona anao izany rehefa mody manao risoriso koa aho.
19Then, immediately send that clip to the ACC and ZP and all other media outlets like MUVI TV, etc. My aim?Avy eo, alefako mivantana amin'ny ACC sy ZP sy ny filazam-baovao hafa rehetra toy ny MUVI TV, sns. Ny tanjoko ?
20To get so much media coverage of the clip that the guilty cop has no option but to resign or get fired.Ho hita amin'ny lohatenim-baovao maro be ilay lahatsary ka ilay polisy tompon'antoka dia tsy hahita atao intsony afa-tsy ny mametra-pialàna na ho voaroaka.
21Another contributor, Kasenengwa, thinks Cameraman is a Zambian who has spent a long time abroad, probably in the west.Mpandray anjara iray hafa, Kasenengwa, nihevitra fa ilay mpaka sary dia Zambiana iray niaina ela tany am-pita, mety ho tany andrefana.
22CameramanRy mpaka sary
23I will go out on a limb and declare that you have spent too much time living abroad.Hijoro amin'ny hevitro aho hanambara fa nijanona fotoana maharitra loatra tany am-pita ianao.
24You think what works abroad can also work here.Mihevitra ianao fa izay mety any am-pita dia hety eto koa.
25And this is where your fantasy begins.Ary eo amin'izay no manomboka ny nofinofinao.
26Go ahead and do exactly what you say and see what happens.Tohizo hatrany ary ataovy antsakany sy andavany izay lazainao ary jereo ny zava-mitranga.
27This is Zambia, my friend. An ex trade union midget stole millions of dollars from the Zambian public.Izao ny atao hoe Zambia, ry akama. fikambanana kelinà mpandraharaha taloha nangalatra vola Dollars an-tapitrisany tamin'ny vahoakan'i Zambia.
28All kinds of evidence was presented against him and his cohorts.Karazana porofo maro no naseho hanoherana azy sy ny mpanaraka azy.
29Matrix, Katele, what-what.Matrix, Katele, itsy-iroa.
30But in the end the little man got off scot-free.Nefa nahazo fahafahana ilay olona tamin'ny farany.
31These days when you meet him, his wide smile threatens to split his small head in half.Amin'izao fotoana izao raha mifanena aminy ianao, atahorana hampivaky roa ny loha keliny ny tsikiny tonga hatrany am-poto-tsofiny.
32His smile is so humongous.Lehibe loatra ny fitsikiny.
33In his kaponya style, he is laughing all the way to the bank.Miaraka amin'ny bikany kaponya, mitsika foana izy mandrapaha tongany eny amin'ny Banky.
34All the way.Eraky ny làlana.
35That's Zambia for you.Izay no atao hoe Zambia ho anao.
36One touchy topic discussed under the media timeline was titled “How many True Journalists are left in Zambia?”Lohahevitra nampihetsi-po iray noresahana tao amin'ny filazam-baovao tao amin'ny Aterineto nitondra ny lohateny hoe “firy ny Tena Mpanao gazety tavela ao Zambia? ””
37Public noted that the craft has been lost in Zambia:Public dia nahita fa very ny fahaiza-manao ao Zambia :
38Dear Zambia,Ho an'i Zambia,
39Too many mass communications majors from Unza [the University of Zambia].Be loatra ny filazam-baovao avy ao Unza [Anjeimanontolon'i Zambia ].
40They just came out on the other side of the conveyer belt like mass produced identical products in a factory.Tafavoaka fotsiny etsy ankilan'ny fingotra mpanodina (conveyer belt) toy ny vokatra vokarina betsaka amin'ny endrika mitovy any amin'ny ozinina izy.
41Don't know **** about journalism.Tsy mahalala **** ny momba ny asa fanaovan-gazety aho.
42Some of them are just too much.Ny sasany amin'izy ireny àry no tena loza.
43Just some floozy regurgitating second hand opinions and more concerned that their tie looks just right.Hevitry ny mpiodina (Avy amin'ny mpamoaka lahatsoratra: fomba fanevatevana vehivavy tsy madio fitondran-tena) tsy misy dikany fotsiny, ary mihevitra kokoa ny hevitra feheziny ho toy ny marina.
44And making sure they twisted their tongue just right to sound quasi british.Ary ataony azo antoka tsara hoe namadibadika ny lelany izy mba hanakaiky kokoa ny fomba fiteny Britanika.
45What you wear doesn't make a journalist.Tsy izay entinao no maha mpanao gazety anao.
46A quest for the truth and delivering it without bias or prejudice.Fitadiavana ny marina sy famoahana izany tsy misy fiandaniana na fiheverana mialoha.
47That's what's lacking here, in my opinion.Izay no tsy ampy eto, araka ny hevitro.
48This craft has largely been lost.Izany fahaiza-manao izany dia tena fa very be.
49Concerned about the plummeting journalism standards in Zambia, Journalism Professor observed:Sahiran-tsaina amin'ny fitontongan'ny lentan'ny mpanao gazety ao Zambia, nahamarika ny mpampianatra asa fanaovan-gazety fa :
50There is actually no journalism in Zambia.Ny marina dia tsy misy izany fanaovan-gazety izany ao Zambia.
51Journalists do not even pretend to be fair and balanced any more.Tsy manao na dia ny hampiseho tsy fiandaniana akory aza ny mpanao gazety ary tsy mandanjalanja intsony.
52Does the Post even claim to be balanced?Afaka milaza ho mandanjalanja ve ny Post?
53Does the Times/Daily claim to be balanced?Afaka milaza ho mandanjalanja ve ny Times/Daily?
54They have even stopped claiming that because they know no one is stupid enough to believe that.Nitsahatra mihitsy tsy miteny izany aza izy ireo satria fantany fa tsy adala tsy misy saina akory ny olona ka hino izany.
55But then what were they trained for if not to give balanced and fair information concerning the real facts happening?Raha izany dia inona no niofanan-dry zareo raha tsy hanao fandanjalanjana sy hanome vaovao mangarahara araka izay mitranga marina tsy miandany ?
56If there is good news for Sata, it CAN NEVER be on the front page of the Times, if there is good news for Rupiah it can NEVER be on the front page of the Post.Raha misy vaovao tsara ho an'i Sata, dia TSY HO eo amin'ny pejy voalohany filazam-baovaon'ny Times VELIVELY, raha misy vaovao tsara an'i Rupiah dia TSY HO eo amin'ny pejy voalohan'ny Post VELIVELY.
57NEVER.NA OVIANA NA OVIANA.
58So there is no journalism.Noho izany tsy misy ny fanaovan-gazety.
59No one is committed to the truth and nothing but the truth any more.Tsy misy manokan-tena ho an'ny marina intsony ary ny marina irery ihany.
60They should not even claim to be the fourth estate, because they don't know what that means.Tsy tokony hitaky akory ny ho fahefana faha-efatra akory izy ireo, satria tsy fantany marina ny tena dikan'izany.
61They have no integrity.Tsy manam-pahamendrehana izy ireo.
62There is still room for some humour even if the topic under discussion is serious.Mbola misy ihany ny toerana ho an'ny fihomehezana na dia zava-dehibe loatra aza ilay lohahevitra ifanakalozana.
63Scribbler suggested what Zambians can do to receive balanced new articles:Scribbler nanome soso-kevitra ny amin'ny zavatra afaka ataon'ny Zambiana mba hahazoany lahatsora-baovao mifandanja :
64well the best one can do is buy all three newspapers (Zambia Daily Mail, Times of Zambia and the Post) bind them and make one splendid balanced paper-yes yes?Ny zavatra iray mendrika hataon'ny tsirairay aloha dia ny mividy ireo gazety telo (Zambia Daily Mail, Times of Zambia ary ny Post) mampifamatotra azy ireo ary manao fandanjalanjana avy amin'ireo taratasy ireo - izay izay ?
65Under the Embassies category, Zambian diplomatic missions, as are services at foreign diplomatic missions in Zambia, are not spared.Ao anaty sokajin'ireo Masoivoho, ny iraka diplomatika Zambiana, toy ny asan'ireo iraka diplomatika vahny ao Zambia, dia tsy afa-bela amin'izany.
66Mwana Chinondo wondered why incompetent individuals are employed to work at Zambian diplomatic missions:Mwana Chinondo nanontany tena hoe nahoana no olona tsy mahavita azy no ampiasaina ao amin'ny iraka diplomatikan'i Zambia :
67I wonder why we are still appointing unqualified people to posts at the embassies around the world.Manontany tena aho hoe nahoana isika no mbola mametraka olona tsy mahavita azy ao amin'ireo Masoivoho manerana izao tontolo izao.
68Every person has a story to tell about some demotivated or incompetent official who gives you lousy service.Ny olona rehetra dia manana ho tantaraina mikasika ireo olona tsy mahavita azy sy tsy manana fahaiza-manao ireo izay manome anao asa tsy manjary.
69This is just ridiculous.Tsy misy dikany tsotra izao izany.
70It's the same in Washington DC, London, Pretoria, Harare etc. They just suck.Toy izany koa ny ao Washington DC, Londona, Pretoria, Harare sns. Minono tànana fotsiny ry zareo .
71Please let's get professional people in these jobs not “babululu [relations]”!Avelao ny olona manam-pahaizana manokana amin'izany no hiasa eo fa tsy “babululu [izay olom-pantatra]”!
72One contributor, JT, gave an account of his personal experience at the Zambian High Commission in London:Mpandray anjara iray , JT, nizara ny zavatra niainany fony izy tao amin'ny Iraka Ambonin'i Zambia tao Londona :
73I agree with, the Zambian embassy in London is just PATHETIC.Miombon-kevitra amin'izany aho, MAMPAHONENA ny Masoivoho Zambiana ao Londona.
74When i was living in the UK about a year ago and was trying to follow up the progress on my new passport this is what would happen……. when you call the embassy before lunch nobody would pick up.Tamin'izaho nipetraka tao UK teo amin'ny herintaona teo izay ary nikasa hanaraka ny dingana nizoran'ilay pasipaoroko vaovao dia izao no mety hitranga…….tsy misy handray anao eo rehefa miantso ny ambasady alohan'ny sakafo antoandro ianao .
75When you call after lunch they would pick up but tell you that the person who is supposed to attend to you is not back from lunch “Please call after 30 minutes” so you call after 30 minutes and they tell you okey let me transfer you call to the right person.Ary raha aorian'ny sakafo ianao no miantso dia lazain'izy ireo fa mbola tsy niverina avy nisakafo ilay olona tadiavinao “Azafady mamerena miantso afaka 30 minitra ” ary miantso ianao afaka 30 minitra dia teneniny hoe eny ary fa ampifandraisiko amin'ny olona afaka mandray anao ianao.
76Then the phone would ring and ring and ring then eventually go to voice mail…….and guess what? the voice mail would be full and you wouldn't even be able to leave your message……believe me i never succeeded until someone gave me the mobile number of someone who works there……….Ary dia haneno haneno hatrany ilay telefonina mandra-pahalasa famelan-kafatra azy …….ary avy eo inona hoy ianao ? Feno ilay famelan-kafatra ka tsy ho afaka ny hamela ao akory ianao……minoa ahy fa hatramin'izay dia mbola tsy nahavita nifandray tamin'ny tao mihitsy aho mandra-pisian'ny olona nanome ahy laharan'olona miasa ao……….
77.even in a foreign country surely we can't learn from the way our friends do things?????????.na dia any amin'ny firenen-kafa aza dia tsy mba afaka maka lesona avy amin'ny fomba fiasan'ny namantsika mihitsy isika ?????????

79With all these electronic complaints and complements, it is difficult to tell if anyone, at least in government, is listening.Miaraka amin'ireo fitarainana sy dokadoka elektronika rehetra ireo, sarotra ny hilaza raha misy olona iray, farafahakeliny ao amin'ny governemanta, mba mihaino.
