About

I’m Edward Mutepu Shamwana, born 16th October 1961 (Libra) in Hampstead, London, UK. Dad was from Zambia, mum English and at the moment I profess to be Zambian, but that’s until it suits to be British ;-)

  1. Ed, you must have searched long & hard for the geekiest pic you could find of yourself. Well done. You do know it was a mistake to send us the link to your blog, don’t you?

  2. Ed, great picture – it proves your true worth, you have the fancy kit but nothing to plug it in to. Perhaps that answers your question about a lack of questions about ‘Mid Life Crisis II (The unexpected years)’. See you for the eclipse, enjoy Zambia and your trip straight back to London and BA.

  3. do you think any of us are interested in your star sign being libra, those who are interested can work it out for themselves. Softball season starts in twelve weeks see you for the first pitch

  4. Well played – the perfect theme for your blog page – it is almost as if they were expecting you!

  5. I like the map. Much like a “Where’s Waldo” book. I still can’t find the 4th arrow.

  6. Hi Jim, Having a bit of a problem getting the map to work properly and don’t have easy internet access here in Cape Town. Should be back in Zambia in early May and hope to sort things out then. Cheers, Ed

  7. Ed, Dolly is not very happy with you for not getting intouch enroute to Peru as agreed. I love your pics at Chris’s party, what a party! and 40, noway!!!!. Chhris if you get to read this, please drop me a line on my email.
    Have a great time Ed and always remember there is someone who cares for you here in Reading – me
    Take care,

  8. Hey Ed, Howzit!! Sounds like your having a great adventure there in South America!
    ‘S been ages, the celta course, etc, feels like a lifetime ago….things
    have changed here so much since we were last in touch.
    I am now working full time at EF in Kloof St Cape Town for R56 per hour -
    which is near impossible to survive on! Naeema works there too. Have bought
    a car and moved out of Brandos after we had a massive falling out – we
    havebn’t spoken since and he still owes me R2000!!
    Moved to Mowbray/Obz area sharing with a Dutch girl, Genie who is very nice
    and normal unlike Brando but not half as much fun.
    Me and Lebo are not together anymore sadly and so I’m having to effectively
    start over making friends all over again since I think Naeema is the only
    person who I still know since the start.
    The high and excitment of being in a new place has most definately worn off
    and this middle period has been a lot tougher. The drama just doesn’t stop!
    I got bitten by a HIV postivie child at the hospital at the weekend so that
    was a big scare – but went to hospt proper and they said it would be ok.
    I had a fantastic time in Mozambique soon of the piccies are on facebook if
    you search for Roz Miles.
    Well hope youre well and enjoying your travels – how’s the Spanish?
    Keep well,
    Lots of love Roz xxx

  9. Hi, I never met your Dad, he died when I was doing nineth grade. I am studying law and I have come accross most of his legal arguements. He is the greatest legal mind we ever had! I hope you also sutdied law! Ciao and I hope you remain Zambian and it never suits to be British! rgds Chewe

  10. Hi Chewe, Sorry it’s been a while replying. Been busy working out what to do next with my life. Thanks for the kind words about our dad. Much appreciated.
    All the best. Ed

  11. Hi Ed,
    We’re Norm and Audrey Henderson, and we knew the Kazungas when they were in Belgium, they also attended my brother’s funeral in Lusaka in 1989.
