Zambians would in the next two months be issued with new passports, which would have features that are difficult to forge, Minister of Home Affairs, Ronnie Shikapwasha has disclosed.
Lieutenant General Shikapwasha said his Permanent Secretary, Susan Sikaneta has since traveled to Germany with a high powered delegation to check on the machines that would be used to issue new passports.
He said the delegation would also consolidate the issue of having new passports.
General Shikapwasha said the machines would be brought into the country in the next few weeks and be installed in readiness for the issuance of new passports by the end of March, 2008.
He said in an interview that it was necessary for Zambians to have news passports that would not be easy to forge.
Meanwhile, General Shikapwasha has said investigations on the alleged corrupt passport officers were ongoing.
When asked if passport officers that would be found wanting would not be allowed to move to the new office as earlier stated, the minister said such would be announced after investigations have been concluded.
Hope they will be of high standards like the ones Malawi have. We dont want to see a similar situation like the “fading bank notes” of BOZ.
“features difficult to forge”…”travelled to german with a highpowered delegation to check on the machines…”is that a joke!Improve infrustruture at borders first. Just another way of squeezing money out of our pockets.GOSH THIS COUNTRY IS A BIG JOKE!!
Trust me Germany products are like steel think of your printing machine you have been you for the last decades with minimum repair. The Benz you drive which has a livespanne of your life. This is no mistake its in the right direction.
A High powered-delegate, Just to look at the new passport features? Why didn’t they just mail a copy of the proposed passport to Lusaka and save the tax-payers a lot of money – probably a couple of millions. How Ingenious.
Why waist time forging when it is so easy to get a passport by bribing. No checks are done on application. You find indians who cannot speak a word of local languges even struggling with english getting passports. These chaps don’t even know were the copperbelt is and his passport says he was born in zambia.
Wake up sikapwasha
I like pats comment of bribing instead of forging .lol
I got new passport last month which will expire in 2017. Am I supossed to surrender it and apply for another one after March 2008??
Pat #5 excellent point. Why go through the trouble of forging when 100 pin can get you a new passport, NRC, birth certificate? We need an full end to end process review and not just sending “high powered” delegations on vacation to Germany. Big nose Shikapwasha would have us believe their trip is necessary! Total crap!!! All we need is a stringent feasibility study and once you identify the competent suppliers in Germany, you ask them to send their technicians here to teach our chaps on the ground how to operate and maintain the new equipment.
Just go improve your border offices embarassingly dirty, small, etc.
Imwe guys, these buggers balitemwa tuma travel allowance. And this Shikapwasha chap even wants to stand for MMD presidency? I think this family tree bullshit is starting to get to their heads. How many times are is Ronnie going to change passports, drivers/road licence’s etc. Alot of unnecessary red tape just to milk us of more kwachas. Nechi mona chine, finishing all the oxygen in parliament!!!

This is Africa. Just got a drivers license?? well too bad you need a new one!! just got a passport? well i need money so you need a new one!!! truthfully how many people would go through the effort of forging passports…..especially a third world zambian one… Get serious!!! We need to better allocate our tax payers money so as not to complicate the average Zambians life
I guess this is a good move the government is taking but again we have to look at the other side of the tax payers money being implemented to carry out this task. please lets try to be realistic at the long term plans we make, this country needs to be developed on whatever little resources it has for the betterment of our children we have. I guess we just keep on making the same mistakes over and over and we never learn from our errors.
Is this one of those usall scums that we always get treadted to in Zambia. I am sure I shall be able to buy a passport ftom passport officer! Povaty is the root of all slaes of passport not stupid new types of passports!!!
If you want a fast forward passport ask SATA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got my passport last year and Im in Europe then it means I have to pay again for another passport? I support Kingcobra #2 that these guys just want to sqeez our pockets. Its true #5, New machine is not the solution but dealing with corruption at the passport office. Another 25 dollors to go? Mwebantu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sikapwasha is so dull and far from reality on the ground or he must smoke some thing strange, who will bother forging a 3rd world passport when i can get a ligit one cheap ? Come on ronnie, you are only sending your girlfriend and brunches of the family tree on vacation to germany with $5000 allawance.
This is the same chap who wasted millions trying to deport that white man from the post. He just got up in the morning when he was at home affires and without consultation decided to issue deportation oders. Last week the case was overturned after many millions of kwacha.
WHY ON EARTH WOULD A MINISTER WANT TO SEE THE MACHINE THAT MAKES A PASSPORT? I JUST GOT MY PASSPORT AND AINT GETTING ANOTHER ONE IN TWO MONTHS TIME.
#4Pat, You have it all correct. Nothing more can be said. Foreigners will be the first people to issued with these ‘forge proof passports’…doesn’t solve the problem, does it?
Do we have to come home to get new ones or we apply through the high commissioner.
Does the minister realise that some of the Zambians living abroad have endorsements in their passports? It is almost impossible to get those endorsement into the new passports especially if they havent expired.The minister needs to give us a grace period.It does not make sense for one to incur costs just to change a passport.
The punk went to Germany just to look at the machines. Doesnt the guy have anything better to do?
Zambian politics is just weird. A WHOLE Minsiter going to just check on machines? why didnt the ministry send one of these junior officers?
This is business as usual,travel allowance is in play.Why send a high powered delegation just to go and look at machines.This is a big joke. Are you telling me the University of Zambia can’t produce technicians who are capable of certifying if the so called machines are good or not? More over how,and when was the selection of the company making the machines ? Somebody got payed. The delegation is just a front to sway people. The journey by the PS is to go and collect the 10 percent cut to be shared among peers. ACC should be alert.
Anyway, how will Shikapwasha tell if the machine is the ones for the passports he needs done? Probably he thinks it will look like an AK47 for heavens sake and so he is the only one that know how one looks like. lol
im using my 2006 passport till 2016, im not gonna waste a penny for crap, malabishi
What you need to debate about is the type of passports you will be getting. The last time this was announced, they said, we will be getting biometric passports. What this means is that every citizen with a biometric passport will be able to be tracked by the gov’t. Critics of biometric passports say that we give up our privacy by adopting this technology. If fact not only will the z gov’t track you down but any other person with a biometric scanner will be able to obtain your private information which can lead to identity fraud and other issues. Watch out!!
Misplaced priorities bwana, there are no medicines in hospitals, no books in schools; teachers, nurses & policemen never paid enough and on time…Yet that big nose can justify high powered vacations to Europe? This is the reason we remain poor as a nation. Why should donor countries continue giving us their hardworking tax payers money just to be spent on frivolous activities? chilya ichi mona needs to go for some plastic surgery!
Investigator #26, big nose Shikapwasha is not sophisticated enough to know anything about biometrics! Trust me, this will just be another fiasco. The only reason he remains in cabinet is because he’s Maureen’s cousin.
Pat#5 and The Pirate#19 are dead right. The problem is not the type of passport rather it is the corrupt and unpatriot officers in the passport office. These people are ready to sell their mothers and country for a few pieces of silver. Annoying thing is it is very easy for a foreigner to get a Zambian passport. On the other hand Zambians are subjected to all sorts of hassles. Where the hell is the Anti-Corruption Commission and the other investigative agencies? True, Zambia is really the real Africa.
QT, You are right Shika doesn’t know anything about biometrics that is why they will let the germans do the tracking on behalf of the gov’t. This is the first step in outsourcing our gov’t. In short this is a pretext to setting up a global government. It might not be clear now but watch this space, there is more to come!!
I would like to hear what kind of plan they will use to issue new pasports to those of us who are living far from home. I hope they will not demand that we have to travel to Zed just for a new passport. Hope their crapy emabssies will be empowered to issue these passports.
Cont’d Global government in this context means: anti christ aka the mark of the beast. Do some research on RFID (Radio Frequency Identification). This technology is used in the shipping industry to track goods but this tracking is now moving to humans. In other parts of the world this tracking of humans has already started using RFID tags using microchips embbeded in the skin mainly on hands. Apparrently in the near future everyone will be forced to have a RFID chip embbeded in the skin. If you refuse, you won’t be able to buy or trade in anything which goes back to the anti christ story!
According to reliable sources at immigration and police, with the figures avaliable there have had no mome then 100 cases of forged passports. Did this warant new forge proff passports with a high powered delegation of 12 spenting a good 2 weeks looking at these marchines in Germany ?
You decide.
Shushushu #33, I don’t think your sources is reliable. I strongly feel your sources were just saving their faces. There must be more than 100 cases. Add to this those that have not been discovered. On the whole, I totally agree with you on your sentiments regarding the travel to Germany. The cancer is in the passport offices and the remedy should be to cleanse those offices first. Otherwise the new measures are both ludicrous and an exercise in futility. The first new passports are likely to be issued to foreigners. Mark my word.

THERE ARE BETTER THINGS TO SPEND MONEY ON. AND ZAMBIA ISNT NIGERIA. HE SHOULD FOCUS MORE ON TRYING TO REDUCE THE PASSPORT WAITING TIME FOR POOR PEOPLE WHO CANT AFFORD TO BRIBE. IT TOOK 2 YEARS TO GET MY PASSPORT AND IM NOT READY TO WAIT TILL 2010 TO TRAVEL
It is not that these passports will be free, We shall need to pay for replacements, Next thing will be paying for new drivers Licence replacements, after that NRCs,after that every zambian will be obliged to hold a Birth Certificate which we shall need to pay for, the next thing we shall need to pay for Blue book replacements and back again to replacement of passports. This is just a scheme for Government revenue collection, Dont be cheated that it is for security reasons, We just changed passports a few years ago.
#32. Investigator, have you check on your shadow ? It could have been abducted by alians.
this is outrageous!!! are those fools trying to tell us that we all need to spend a small fortune to change our travel documents which have irreplaceable indorsements in them? I rang up a zambian mission today to register my one week old son and ask about getting him a passport, and was told he cant be endorsed on my wife’s or my passport, and that it would take atleast two months for a passport to be issued.Meanwhile, we are required to have valid passports at all times here or our work-permits may be terminated.In my case, i;d need four new passports for the family, plus visas and there is no embassy in thailand! This is outrite robbery!!!! what nonsense to set a two-month deadline!!!!
Instead of speeeding up the process of acquiring passports, which they should be doing, the government is busy setting unrealistic deadlines.Thats the reason why people are forced to resort to currupt practises. There is too much redtape, and meanwhile for us that live and work abroad, the hosting governments dont give a damn that our government takes a while to issue a new passport. So what are we to do, go back home and wait for three months for passorts to be issued the straight way?????????? WHAT BULL!!!!
Evidence at hand is that Lusaka Times is one of the these blogs “made for adsense” sites.There are no contact details. Articles have no author links or contact details. Checking the domain name yields an administrator based in South Africa. Surely, if you wish to report news it is imperative to know the people publishing it and the source. Copy right laws have been ignored ever since.
sadly a good name is in wrong hands…
From the writings of Ambroggio Lorenzetti “Allegories of the Good and Bad Government” (1338) – “Because he looks for his own good in the world, he places justice beneath tyranny.So nobody walks this road without Fear:Robbery thrives inside and outside city gates”.Most of the comments are about fear of govt – the govt changes rules of the game at a whim and you can’t do anything about it.Why?Because we have allowed ourselves to be ruled like sheep.This is another example of tax payers’money being wasted and one being held accountable.We the people have the power to change the way the system works..we take power away from people who have persistenly ruined our country and enslaved us.
Contd(43) – we are told knowledge is power but more people are becoming aware that this is not so – knowledge is not going to save you from the corrupt passport official – Knowledge and ACTION is power. You know and you act thus you get rid of a corrupt system.Our govt has consistently flaunted the people’s mandate – a govt that protects the people and their inalienable rights.Does a new shiny passport protect anyone of us from exploitation by our fellow countryfolk or zambianised furenaz?Anyone got a copy of our constitution?Perhaps we can find how the govt protects us-“evil times are afoot- protect your identity”How else can the minister write off the expenses?Give the man a break!<sarcasm
Mad (44),
Truly you are mad and the patronage here should take you so.Your confusion is vivid in all your incoherence.Best of luck as you dream online without an alienable right to vote or capacity to influence policies decisions on the ground. I wish your garbage in and garbage out had substance and place in the ruling room.
Analyst(#45) – if you can kindly point out how misguided and confused I am. Perhaps you are not even aware of what your supposed elected govt is supposed to be doing for you.Corrupt practices by politicians? Inability to govern? I must be mad to imagine that such things can happen in our country. Of course this is just a medium we can all use to inform each other if we so choose to. Now Mr. Analyst choose to just sit and just take it without protest..it is your so-called “democratic right” man but be aware that “democracy” does not mean what thinks it means,especially in Zambia. Be informed my countryfolk.
ala machine isuma sana, twaimona!

#38 Pat
My shadow is intact, is your privacy intact though? Did you do any research on RFID or biometric passports? Don’t be lazy knowledge is power! Zambia is the 2nd country in Africa to rush into the biometric passports after that fake Somalian transitional gov’t operating from Kenya. What’s the rush in Zambia? Is it really about security or there is more to this?
Very useful comments. For those of you who live abroad, I suggest that you get in touch with your High Commissioners and Ambassadors to clarify travelling to Zed for new passports. BA, SA, Kenya Airways etc will make a lot of money to take you to Zed. Your remmittances to Zed are also sizeable and surely your views are important???
Ha ha Ha!
Forthmost, improvements to the current passports are very welcome, seeing as you say Mr. Minister, the current passports are prone to forgery and other vices. This is a very welcome idea! Why Not!
But Honourable Minister, I really doubt our government capacity to undertake an exercise of this magnitude! How will the government coordinate this activity, when they are still catering for the nflood victims, NCC and the obvious 27 by-elections? Ha ha ha!
Super Powers!
I find the grieviances put accross in the earlier coments legitimate and I seriously feel that govt needs to start looking at alternate views and options!
cont’d…
How about doing this gradually over the years as we come for renewal? i am sure that this will be realistic to our financial and able means!
Or you could do it in phases in line with the passport numbers!
By the way: HOW MUCH?
Unlike you I plan my spending!
Sorry, our leaders are simple believers of the seller. The company contracted to do passports was just selling and who in his right mind and wanting money would say oh no my product has side effects or is forgeable?
Ala Lesa ewaishiba fyonse. Even the corruption fighting govt’s heart is known by He who created the heart of a man and areas they hide in. The same walls you hide in will testify. Conscience gentlemen!
In 2000 we surrendered our old passports for new ones that we were told were difficult to forge. We paid dearly for them and govt made a fortune. Seven years later we are being told the same. Let us wait and see if these ones will not be forged as soon as they come out. By the way, do we have to surrender the Kwacha too for something that cannot be easily forged?
What is going on here? How many times are we going to change our passports? You think no one can forge these passports? Are you kidding me? If the passports of the most powerful nation in the world,with complicated security systems, can be forged, what more a passport in the third world country like ours. Spend the money on flood victims,buy police cars etc..Moreover, the problem is not forgery,but corrupt practices in the passport office. I have seen people not of zambian origin having genuine ZED passports here in france.How did they get them? K150,000. This will be same o,same o story.
Am trying to get my mum to visit me here in the us and she just got her passport last week.Is she gonna need to get a new one?please advise.First get rid of bribing then all will be well.It took 6 months for us to get a passport because we did not bribe nobody.
Mushota-france#54. You and many others have made good points. Forgery is not the biggest problem in Zambia. Corruption is the biggest problem. Grz should spend the money to make sure that phone lines to the passport office are working. Money should also be spent to fifht corruption in the passport office. Spend money on the poor.
#47,BaShikashiwa, we have hired ‘AIR MUKWAI’..JOKE.
Oh believe me I def need to change my passport!!! I got my passport changed not too long ago and not only did the passport office in Z put my names the wrong way round, they also had difficulties cutting the passport picture, it seems to have 6 edges, when I sent it to them intact, p.s it also looks like there’s black lines going through it. I’ve been in the Uk for 11years and its embarassing to always tell the bank, work etc that the Zambian passport office is not the most efficient of all and that my passport was in fact made by ‘professionals’ n not by my 7year old cousin.
So inconclusion, corruption needs to end, we need compotent passport officials n the machine beta be 100%.
What is the use of implementing new “forge-proof” passports when just about anyone with cash (including foreigners) can get a Zambian passport? An effective approach is to secure the country first, and fire the corrupt passport officers, then issue the passports to Zambians only.
Well spoken Skeptic#55. The two senior top passport officers from the East should go and all their officers.
Just seen it on TV, two Nigerian women were arrested in Aussie on drug trafficking charges. They were travelling as Zambians with Zambian passports. Apparently, this happened about two to three weeks ago.
Another way of these *****s swindling the over taxed public, lets not pay any cent for the damn ass port. We are not interested and whose interest are these ass port serving. If Shikapwasha is so earger let him stick it where the sun never shines (ass)
Good point # 61.
Generally, we Zambians are peace loving people. so that makes our passports hot. It’s not our economy. Criminals are posing as Zambians and commiting crimes in other countries. As for why the Nigerian women couldn’t use fake Nigerian passports, same reason I refused to date a Nigerian guy who claimed to be British but could barely speak English and couldn’t quite remember where exactly he had lived in Britain.
… who can not speak up against corrupt goverment officials, EU passports are very hot, but its impossible to find a nigerian with a passport like that obtained through corruption, Immigration officers in EU can not be bought with a few euros.. Thats just how dedicated they are to their duties and respect for their law. It is ridiculous that the goverment is asking ex- zambians US250,000 (TWO HUNDRED & FIFTY THOUSAND US Dollars!!) to reclaim their citizenship while a nigerian can walk in the immigration office and come out with a zambian passport costing not more than a 50kg bag of kapenta for the kantemba outside his yard.
Can any Immigration officers prove that any of those Nigerians etc.. with small business selling plastic hair and bleaching creams have invested US$250.000 each in Zambia, am quite certain that if any of those guys had as much as 5,000 US dollars on them they would have stayed in nigeria and invested in their own country or struggle to board a small boat in Morrocco to take them to Spain and suffer there, than invest in another poor african country like Zambia stricken with poverty corruption and disease.
Zambia is in an appalling state. If ministers continue to show their ignorance and lack of conscience, the whole country will soon be history-scum. Corruption, lack of governance, and leadership qualities all have contributed to the down fall of the country. How can the minister think everyone is daft but him? Stamp out corruption but giving workers wages equal to the work they do. Poor people are being squizzled to the last drop of their sweat just to feed the greedy politicians. This is absurd. What nonsense is this that passports can only be obtained in Zambia? What is the purpose of having High Commissioners and Consulates outside Zambia when they can’t even deal with issues of passports
Its high time our leaders got clean and organised. Remember, being a leader is just a post and one day you will be answerable.You are not unattainable of infallible. Some Minister behave as though they have not even been to school. Why not leave engineering work to those who are understand it? Is the PS qualified in Mechanics or engineering to understand? Instead of investing money in improving the country’s infrastructures, ministers are busy squandering the money. Why biometric passports when even some developed countries have not even implement the scheme. Why are we so much in a hurry to jump the stages of development? Schools, teachers, nurses, hospitals are in need of developing
I am really fed-up. When shall we develop as Zambia, the country to be proud of? Why do foreigners have priorities over natives? Unless something is done and quick, passport issues will remain problematic. Stamp out corruption and things will run smoothly, I suppose. But if the anti-corruption commission are corrupt how on earth will they investigate issues of corruption without being implicated in it themselves?
Six months on and I’m still waiting for my Zambian passport-that’s me then stack in England.I am told there is a backlog and they need to install new printers? Ok fair enough, hope they will put a system in place too which will make things run smoothly and priotise work loads. Yer right whom I kidding with our Zambian attitude towards work. You see, it’s not just the government at fault-we are all to blame as Zambians because we are too accepting of situations and do nothing about it but talk and talk and write and write on sites like this with no action at all. We all know whats going on so why not come up with a solution? My solution is to get base ball bats and beat that man Ronnie and his cronnies out of office. All those in favour say ‘I.
If i paint all you Zambians as drunks how would you feel. talking about a couple of pppl like you know a whole nation. Shame on those picking on peopleon forum you know nigerianswon’t read.
The introduction of biometric passport to Zambia means nothing in terms of security and development. As long as corrupt people remain in government even non zambian will still acquire the passport. Its too early for Zambia to introduce the biometric passport, we need to prioritise issues that are of country’s economical development such as good education,healthy and employment. Hope the chaps in government knows the pros and cons of biometric technology. Currently i am doing my research on Biometric Technology looking at the application, impact on society and many more.Do not print passports with new technology just to please the whites.
Frankly I don’t give a damn about all the arguements being put
forward. All I say is……. ZAMBIA PASSPORT OFFICE GET YOUR ACT
TOGETHER….. You are getting embarassing.
we all in abrod love this new passport but how can we cat it in spain
we want to plause for this new passport how can we ct it in spain we are in need of it
Its now nearly end of June, and nothing has been said about dishing out new passports. What has happened to the machines? Aint they working? Where shall we get the news that the passports have started to be issued? I sent my passport nearly four months ago and here I am stuck and can not get it back yet. Was it just another scum where ministers squandered all the money and ended buying typewrites instead of printers? Can anyone tell?
Whats the point of The ZED Gvt hanging the passports?
I mean my passport has very important indorsements in it and am not ready to change it, not until after five years.
Think about it.
Well, i just received my passport recently after waiting for over 6 months due to the change and the backlog. And now some1 informs me that the new passports are supposed to be green in colour. Has anyone actually receieved anything recently, becasue now am really confused!!! The “supposed-to-be-new” passport that i received is still black and no salient features have actually changed!
its now almost december mwe bantu and i am beein told that we need to get passports by end of feb coz by 1 of march our old passports will be invalid…and the problem is i wnt to go to zed 4 ma holide till may..pliz if any1 knws somthin hala
you guys whats happenin ,u just can’t workup one day and say that we are changing passports. u sould also think of people like us who are outside zambia.corruption is the biggest thing in zambia.u work on it thats when this joke of yos is goin to work.
Ladies and gentlemen. Interesting opinions and honest contributions on this thread. Priority doesn’t make sense within and out of the zambian government. That is why it will take a long time to develop our mother zambia. Ask me what generation will attempt to…frankly speaking i dont know? Current politicians are recycled so how can you have new ideas or even implement?it all well and truly promising but nothing is ever delivered.
Look at the nations that are developed and what do you see in common? they’ve had wars, they take risks, democracy full blown and every citizen has a say and not just a statistic,a number of leaders and a tren of greedness providing an evironment…cont
cont… of the strongest shall survive.
Oh no sinifuna na kulanga i have every hope that the younger generation have an optimistic and positive future. This is where the revival shall begin. Diversity, good management,improve infrastructure bring back our educated and qualified professions who have left for greener pastures resulting in a so called brain drain of our health care and education welfare.
It is possible with just a lot of hard work. Bring a new leader, technical, a bit ruthless with all the qualities shouldn’t cause harm but good for mother zambia, so that quality will be beneficial.
God bless zambia
my passport is in use until 2011. So, how can our gvnt, in these days of crisis,ask people to change passports in use, and have to pay such amount for another passport? its the second time for me to change un expaired passport, the first was hand written, the second, machine and now? I know its for the better use of our borders, but give us chance to save money for this.Oh God
please read the book of revelation..what you are witnessing is the beginning of the New World Order.The person that is at the very helm is Satan himself.You will not be able to buy or sell soon without a mark that will be assigned to yourselves in due course.This is only the beginning for those who are not saved now is the time to turn to Jesus ,confess your sin,turn away from it and believe in Jesus.Be warned..this is no joke my sister told me about this twenty years ago and now I see that everything the bible says is the truth and is coming to pass.Get a bible and go to a bible believing church..if you are not in the body of Christ these things will not make sense .
Until the day we hear someone campaign by talking about GDP(Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply) we are nowhere near to change, so we might as well suck it up.
Pat, you seem to have a chip on the shoulder about whites and indians. why the hell are you showing a british flag. if u are zambian then go back to where u come from and stop critizizng other races.
those that mentioned nigeria here are very very stupid, the smallest revenue from those little nigerians can take care of the cost for biometric, rfid or any type of passport the country needs. I love zambians and had fed many zambian, traded with many… I want to supply the machines to you embassies abroad if the government can contract the work to my firm… Most of you guys are racist, no.. I mean poor and ingrates.
My friends from zambia are different and you should not corrupt them or make them hate the boldest african people.
:-w:-w:-w:-w very starge things are bieng said
