I was even told that I was uninformed...and the way he kept pushing the "audio to audio voice synthesis" was hilarious.
SINCERE PUBLIC APOLOGIES. Turns out the audio is real. I’ve been trying to understand what motivated Chabinga and it seems it all boils down to clout; name-dropping big figures and creating the illusion of access. He claims repeated calls with President HH and ties to Charity…
Ok, let put all this deepfake, voice cloning, voice mapping nonsense to bed. ElevenLabs is the best voice cloner for deepfake audio out there. You cannot have laughter into your audio without using post production sound editing by a talented sound engineer. So, I went ahead and…
The Mwewas are fortunate to have the discipline to turn down such an offer. Many don't, and I know plenty that blew their inheritence in a couple of years. I am going to say something that may be confronting to some. Ask yourself this question, "I long would my family sustain…
Foot work and hip rotation unimpressive...
This guy’s already campaigning without realizing it 😂🫶🏽 He’s got the crowd, he’s got stage presence, he’s got the aura and charisma. He jokes now, but give it time… ballot paper things coming 😂🗳️
Joseph, when you post such articles, please ensure that you have researched your subject, otherwise you are just engaging in rage baiting. In the early 70s, before ZCCM, the state owned mining companies were Nchanga Consolidated Copper Mines (NCCM) and Roan Consolidated Mines…
During Kaunda’s time, a) Zambia owned & ran its mines through ZCCM in 80s b) Our country had a 60% shares in our major mines c) After Kaunda left, mines were sold to Western companies Now West Co have 100% shares, Zambia has 0% in certain mines like Lumwana and Kalumbila !!
I have received a number of DMs regarding brokers that accept Zambians. Interactive Brokers allow Zambians to open accounts as long as you meet their KYCs. They cover all the MAJOR exchanges.
The drilling results of TSXV listed Midnight Sun Mining's Kazhiba project have been exceptional which led to a 26 % rise in share price, reflecting investor confidence in the results. Kazhiba is only 6km from First Quantum Minerals (FQM) Kansanshi copper mine. This means that…
Damn, I can't believe that it's already over 10 years since TJ passed. I miss you buttah

Zambia is not poor. This diagram highlights how Zambia is being used as a hub for money laundering. Here is a simple break down of the diagram. 13 Shell Companies were set up in Zambia, all using the same business address and they were controlled by 3 foreign nationals. A number…

This guy has thrown out this "audio to audio voice synthesis" and it is the cross he is prepared to die on. When he questioned my expertise, I told him. Yet when I question him about his expertise in AI, I am constantly met with deflection via accusations argumentum ad hominem.…
Imagine 😂 Just waiting for explanations on audio to audio speech synthesis. It seems like yavuta response.
For me, the reason I can confidently talk about this subject matter is that in 2023, I tried to train a Bemba model for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) as a hobby but quickly dropped it when the costs didn't justify any use case. The data I used is public and was put together…
What the deepfake camp doesn't understand is that at the core of all AI models is the data used to train the model. Below is a simple prompt to generate an image. "Create a realistic photo Of Zambia's president Hakainde Hichilema eating an icecream cone" F1 is Grok's image of…

The audio is real. Whether the conversation was staged is another matter. There is NOT a single tool in Silicon Valley that can create deepfake Bemba audio, NON. This is not speculation. You are better than this, and this type of copium does you a lot of disservice
Zambia has a history of deepfakes. Authenticating audio requires forensic analysis like examining waveforms, metadata, or voice patterns. Unless one has the tools in their home to do this analysis, I'm afraid both claims of AI generation or authenticity remain speculative.
Ok, lets cut through all the horse manure. The audio is real. As a person who understands how Large Language Models (LLMs) work and has trained my own AI models, our friend who is saying that this is deepfake doesn't know what he's talking about. Do you have any idea what it…
If you own ZCCM-IH shares, you've got a dividend coming your way. ZCCM-IH posted a record profit of K39.85 billion in 2024, a huge reversal from a loss of 4.08 billion in 2023. The Earnings Per Share (EPS) is up 1,077%. What is behind this massive jump in profit. Let's unpack…
I have a small holding on the outskirts of Lusaka and I am announcing that I planning on spending $200 million to increase my beef production.
When I saw this, I decided to look the definitions for micro, small, and medium enterprises in Zambia according to GRZ. There is a document on Ministry of Small and Medium Enterprise Development that has the definitions (F1) Micro Enterprise (F2) Small Enterprise (F3) Medium…
