Government says it will not tolerate abuse of workers by some companies in Solwezi districts.
Foreign Affairs Minister Harry Kalaba issued the warning yesterday when he addressed hundreds of workers who turned out for the Labour Day celebrations.
Mr Kalaba said government is concerned with the behaviour of some company owners in Solwezi who are abusing workers and involved in human trafficking and forced labour.
The minister warned that government will not tolerate this kind of behaviour and will ensure that the culprits are brought to book in accordance with the law.
He said any unfair labour practices are detrimental to the promotion of decent work.
He has since directed all employers to adhere to labour laws before government visits them.
And Education Deputy Minister David Mabumba condemned political leaders who were calling on workers to boycott this year’s labour day celebrations.
Mr Mabumba also urged nurses who were dismissed from work to take advantage of the amnesty by government and re-apply for their jobs so that they can be re-engaged.
“Jesus Not Coming Back By The Looks Of It” Admits Vatican”
A SPOKESPERSON for the Vatican has officially announced that the second coming of Jesus, the only son of the God, may not happen now after all, but urged followers to still continue with their faith, regardless of the news.
Cardinal Giorgio Salvadore told WWN that this years 1,981st anniversary is to be the Vatican’s last in regards to waiting for the Lord to return to Earth.
“We just feel Jesus is not coming back by the looks of it.” he said. “It’s been ages like. He’s probably flat out doing other really good things for people somewhere else.”
Nearly two thousand years ago, Jesus promised his disciples that he would come again in chapter John 14:1-3 of the bible: “There are many homes up where my Father lives, and I am…
…….going to prepare them for your coming. When everything is ready, then I will come and get you, so that you can always be with Me where I am. If this weren’t so, I would tell you plainly”
The Vatican defended Jesus’ broken promise, claiming “he was probably drinking wine” at the time when he made the comments.
“Having the ability to turn water into wine had its ups and its downs.” added Cardinal Salvadore. “We all make promises we can’t keep when we’re drunk. Jesus was no different.”
The church said it will now focus attentions on rebuilding its reputation around the world, but will keep an optimistic mind for the savior’s second coming.

HON. Minister, you are now ruling, you are no longer in opposition. Don’t warn – ACT. Workers voted PF en-mass because of the promises to protect them that you made before September 2011.
