Introducing Flip...

Dear Reader,

We are pleased to Introduce Flip Magazine. This magazine is called Flip

because we intend to share the flipside of the official version of the ‘truth’ as

we feel that there is more to the events and systems around us than the

media has been able to tell us because media in our beloved Zambia is yet to

be as free as we want it to be. A first of its kind, this magazine treads the

tight rope between art and media and delivers information and news in

mainly pictorial and satirical forms. The art within this magazine is art for

Progressive Social Change.

We benefit from contributions of blossoming Zambian cartoonists writers

and graphic artists providing a platform of free expression and debate to

them and you, the reader.

These are interesting times for art and media in Zambia. Zambians are more

alert and expectant to see development. Media Freedom and the growth of

artistic expression are indicators of development and we hope that with the

rise of this magazine we can show that Zambia is ready for this shift towards

the right direction. Our congratulations to freelance journalist, Andrew

Mulenga for winning the 2012 CNN Art and Culture Award, he wins the

award as a new era in Zambian appreciation of art dawns. We also note

with interest the creation of the Ministry of Tourism and Art in the Zambian

Government. Hopefully, this new ministry will act as an instrument of

turning good words and promises into deeds.

Unfortunately during the course of production of this magazine we lost a

gallant contributor in the name of Davies Chapi, may his soul rest in peace.

His work features within the magazine conjuring an old oral tradition on the

adventures of Kalulu. Davies Chapi leaves a legacy of dedicated service,

contributing to the body of artworks for social change on subjects such as

corruption, social welfare and health.

We are pleased to acknowledge the support of Hivos, whose support makes

this magazine possible. we also thank The Zilphia Horton Institute a project

for artists at the Highlander Center in Arkansas USA for connecting their

artists with artists in the flip Magazine project. Salutations also go to the

Digital Natives project for their interest in our work on the onset.

We hope that you will join us on this journey of discovery. we will

appreciate your feedback,

Regards,

The Editor

This murder victim had a stake driven through his mouth.

Alice Lenshina

Children were not spared

Above: Brutally murdered members of the Lumpa Church

n the morning of 7th August 1964 the village of Paishuko in Lundazi District was overrun by armed UNIP militants who massacred all forty-six unarmed and peaceful residents, men, O

women and children. Many of those who died had been cruelly tortured and mutilated before being horribly murdered. This is one event that is

missing from our school history books.

Those who died that morning were all members of Alice Lenshina's Lumpa Church, against whom the pre-independence government had declared a virtual war. They were not the only ones who were killed. It is estimated that, during the period June to September 1964, all over Northern Province and beyond, about two thousand Lumpa Church members were killed and many more injured after the government sent soldiers of the Northern Rhodesia Regiment to invade their settlements. Villagers armed only with spears were mown down with automatic rifles.

The Church was banned by the government, and some twenty thousand Lumpas fled to the Congo, where their survivors and descendents remain to this day. Alice Lenshina was arrested and thrown into jail, where she died in 1978. She was never tried for any offence.

How did all this happen? The Lumpa Church was an indigenous Christian sect which had been formed by Alice Lenshina, a young Bemba woman, in 1955. By the early sixties in Northern Province it had more members than either the United Church or the Catholic Church, and was gaining popularity throughout the land, especially on the Copperbelt. But by this time the Lumpa Church had succeeded in annoying those in power.

The Lumpa Church had annoyed the foreign missionary churches by 'stealing' their members and inventing a new liturgy based mainly on Bemba hymns written by Lenshina and others. It had annoyed the chiefs by establishing Lumpa settlements without the permission of the local chiefs. By so doing, it had also annoyed the colonial administration which ruled 'indirectly' through the chiefs. Most dangerous

the Lumpas began to protect themselves by moving from their original villages into Lumpa settlements, usually protected by stockades. But as the anti-Lumpa population around these settlements became more hostile, it became more difficult for the Lumpas to find land to farm. To sustain themselves they began to raid and steal from the surrounding community. This led to counter-attacks and further escalation, with increasing injuries and deaths on both sides.

Kenneth Kaunda, now prime minister of the new pre-independence government, did not attempt any negotiation or reconciliation. Instead, in January 1964, the government ordered that all settlements be disbanded and that all Lumpas return to their original villages. They refused to do so.

As the violence between the two sides continued,

of all, the Lumpa Church had annoyed the United National Independence Party (UNIP) because the Lumpas – like the Jehova's Witnesses – forbade any political party membership, and instead acknowledged only the authority of God.

Furthermore, the Lumpa Church believed in the God-given equality of women, who could equally be appointed as deacons or clergy, and polygamy was banned. This was a clear threat to the established system of male supremacy in tradition, in the missionary churches, in the colonial government and in UNIP.

In the run-up to independence UNIP demanded party membership as a sign of political solidarity in the struggle against their political rivals, Harry Nkumbula's African National Congress. Northern and Eastern Provinces were UNIP territory, and anybody who didn't carry the UNIP card was likely to be harassed, denied public facilities or worse. Both UNIP and the Lumpa Church adopted the same uncompromising stance that 'If you're not with us then you're against us'. The two organisations were on a collision course.

Before long, Lumpas were having their huts burnt down and being chased from their villages by UNIP militants. Throughout Northern Province and beyond

is not the type

ear Celestine,DI am a young lady aged 19. In early 2009 I was in a relationship with a guy aged 23 years, we were in love and we promised each other that we would not be intimate until we got married. In 2010 this guy decided to leave for the United Kingdom where he would attend college. I promised him that I would stay faithful to him until he came back, but within the same year I met another guy who was from the United Kingdom and i even got intimate with this guy. Unfortunately the relationship did not last because I found out that this guy was seeing a lot of other ladies. Aunty, my first boyfriend just got back into the country and I don’t know what to do or what to tell him. I made a mistake but I still love him. Should I keep it a secret or should I tell a lie?From N.T

Dear N.T.,

If you intend to have a lasting relationship with your boyfriend, I'd advise you to begin with telling each other the truth.What lie can you tell anyway that will hide the fact that you've lost your virginity?It would be good to be honest and frank about what happened in his absence...You may be surprised that he too may have had a relationship while he was away.Whatever the case, good, healthy relationships... work and thrive in an atmosphere of mutual trust founded on truth never lies!!!Good luck!

ear Celestine, DMy name is MJ, I am 16 years old and I live

in Lusaka. Aunty, I have a problem; I discovered that my dad has started cheating on my mom. I first got suspicious when I noticed that he was keeping two sim cards in his wallet which he would use to call people secretly. Recently a friend of mine saw him parked in front of a gate with a younger woman in the car. And when I went to that place to investigate I found out that the young woman is not in any way related to my family. Aunty what should I do? My dad is not the type of person who can sit down, listen and be corrected I have never approached him to tell him what he is doing is wrong. Should I sit with my dad or should I keep it a secret until one day somebody else discovers. Help me aunty. From MJ

Dear MJ, If you can talk to your dad, I'd advise you to do just that! ...if you feel intimidated talking to him face to face...write him a letter... You have jumped to a conclusion that he's having an affair...what if that is not the case? Tell him what you've observed...he keeps two sim cards...ask him who that woman was he was in the car with...and see his reactions...hear his explanations...before you jump to any conclusions!!!!

How Old is A Footballer?

The other day my friend, Billy and I sat down at Lamimosa at Arcades and we had just ordered two cups of tea and our favourite chicken mayo with cheese when we noticed a slightly familiar face at the table opposite, but half buried in The Daily Nation. He was very engrossed in what he was reading, and didn't seem to notice us staring at him. 'I thought I recognised him', said

Billy, 'Its Simaata Simaata with a shaved head!'

'Now why would he want to

do that?' I wondered.

'Now the weather has warmed

up,' suggested Billy, 'he wants to feel

the cool air passing his bald head, after

all those years of cooking inside his

once fashionable Afro.'

'More likely,' I said, 'that he's

just trying to hide his age by shaving

off his grey hairs. Maybe he's on the

prowl, trying to look like a younger

man.''If there's any prowling

Simaata Simaata would be doing,' laughed Billy, 'it would be prowling after a football. 'That's it! I think I've got it! He's trying to make himself look younger so that he can be selected for the national team!'

'He'll never do it!' I hooted.

'He's far too old. And also too, er,

large!'

'Don't be too sure,' said Billy

seriously. 'Do you know that Roger

Milla from Cameroon was 43 and not

38 during the 1994 World Cup when

they reached the quarter finals? And he

was arguably the best player in the

tournament! And what about

Nkwanko Kanu, Taribo West, Finidi

George and Babayaro? Nobody knows

how old they really are, and maybe

they're not even sure themselves!

'So does it matter if we let the

ancient puffing Simaata Simaata join

our Chipolopolo Boys, as long as the

poor old fellow kicks the ball into the

goal? It's a GOOOOAALL!' I

suddenly shouted, as the ancient bald

head of Simaata Simaata rose up from

the Daily Nation, looked at us with

some puzzlement, and then returned to

his engrossing text.

'The poor old fellow looks as if

he's in another world,' laughed Billy.

'Perhaps he's reading Kalaki's

Korner,' I suggested.

'He's more likely to find himself

in Kalaki's Korner than in Chipolopolo,'

Billy cackled.

'Ha ha,' I laughed, 'now you've

hit the point. Lying about your age can't

help you, 'it's just a matter of whether

you can play the game better than the

others.'

'So you might think,' said Billy

seriously. 'But players lying about their

age is a big problem in youth football.

Do you know that an investigation

into the Under-17 World Cups

between 2003 and 2007 found that

about 35% of the players were

overage. Now that's plain cheating!

'Huh,' I said, 'Here in Africa

we mostly don't have birth

certificates, so if a youth says he's

sixteen, who apart from his mother

can know that he's actually

eighteen? Nobody can do anything

about it!'

'That's where you're wrong,'

said Billy. 'FIFA has now got a way

of testing age using MRI, or

magnetic resonance imaging. It's

like a huge x-ray machine. FIFA can

examine the bones in your wrist and

assess your age correctly to the

nearest year. It's no longer possible

to lie about your age!'

'So if we did the MRI test on

the bones of Simaata Simaata, what

do you think would be the answer?

Fifty years?'

'Much older than that,' he

laughed. 'He'd probably be classified

as a dinosaur!'

We laughed so loud that he

looked up and smiled.

'Yes,' I said, 'but quite a nice

one.'

A Fl p look at...Politicians’ Excuses...to their God!

Alas who are we to judge? As a famous now late rapper once sang,

“Onyl God can judge”...
