Katumbi Officiates at the Opening of Finance Bank Branch

Share

Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Katanga Province Governor Moses Katumbi has hailed the cordial relationship currently existing between Zambia and the DRC.

Mr. Katumbi said there was need for cooperation between the two neighboring countries to enhance economic and social development for the mutual benefit of both countries.

He was speaking during the opening of Finance Bank Kasumbalesa Branch in Chililabombwe yesterday.

Mr. Katumbi urged Finance Bank to extend its operations beyond Zambia and open a branch in that country to boost economic development.

He said the DRC’s economy was experiencing tremendous growth hence the need for strong banks such as Finance Bank to extend their operations into that country.

Mr. Katumbi said Katanga Province had recorded increased exports which could further increase if communities access competitive banking services from reputable organizations like Finance Bank.

And Finance Bank Board Chairman Raja Mahtani said the opening of Finance Bank Kasumbalesa Branch was pivotal in facilitating and formalizing trade between Zambia and the DRC.

He said his bank had a strong reputation of strategic bank positioning especially in border towns hence the opening of a branch at Kasumbalesa border post.

Finance Bank has branches in border areas that include Chirundu, Katete, Mwinilunga, Mpulungu, Chipata, Livingstone and now Kasumbalesa.

  1. Please leave Katumbi alone.we dont want to hear about this thief. It seems you are glorifying his actions

  2. this is how politics are run,if you don’t agree with the rules of the game don’t play.

    and hey don’t expect everyone to share your view.politicians are masters at shading skin,snakes get one or two new tricks now and then.

  3. The copper mines in Katanga are being revived it is therefore important that Zambian businesses position themselves and dominate this market in areas such as financial and mine support services.

  6. I regret to say zambians normally just get used by graft technicians like Katumbi.It is all good talking about economic links with Katanga but that is in an ideal situation which doesnt exist.Remember how Katumbi dribled the whole former head of state.I cant understand why you think this time he will act in the gvernment’s favour.Lets do without him and i know we can.We have always done without such graft leaders

  7. Katumbi and Katebe Katoto ,is he not the same man? From chani fisheries to being a governor in DRC? What a con man is Zambians playing with. Realy you guys you don’ learn. Ask Chiluba who knows the guy well. I think Chiluba is one of the leading Congolese investors in the name of Moses Katumbi.

  19. #14 (off-topic) I called coppernet once they did not give me a satisfactory explanation, in short they are incompetent to carry streaming radio.

  20. I am a Ugandian living in Lusaka and it is sad to see that these indians have not learent a lesson from Uganda i think there is a lot more to this we should call INTERPOL to look in to this case US$ 80.000.00 is a lot of money come on DEC do yout job i am sending all this to state house for Levy to see

  21. SO BHURA was useing the state for family problam this is wrong why bring in the police i think DEC should look in to this this is a case of money lundring BHURA should be put in cells ASAP i kno the case and it was BHURA’s sister who was on the weong

  22. Mike thanks for all the information. we need it in order to start cleansing our nation.I dont know how but i know we need to do so

  23. This is the only country thats gets f&*ked in the a$$ and then turns around and smiles at the person that just did it. We ought to be ashamed

  24. i kno the person i worked with him and was the best man to work for but it was FTJ who got him out and u kno what we were 300 workers who were fired by his so called wife and we were never paid she and his girlfrien were working as informer and told a lot of lies to the police &FTJ agreed but this man fought for his case and got it all right now he is no longer with her and she has done a lot of frud and got all his properties his girlfriend also is suffring the boy who was on MOBI tv is on drugs the man gave him a truck ,i bike ,a car he sold all got drugs and lived like a king his son also wante the house so he could selland get drugs Musa was killing a lot of ensont people in lusaka and

  25. 29 Mtonga use to sheld him but it was this man who put a stop to all this . Musa is born in India and he is untouchable so when you go to his bakery on fridays you see some big big big top goverment officels getting brown pts high court JUDGES like G Phir who work hand in hand with MUSA to fix people but with my boss it did not work as he knos a lot about these indians . this is for STATE HOUSE do some thing ZAMBIA will be ok

  26. #23 Mwiinga thank you very much I thought it was just me. God things only get worse i Africa.

    I called them up a couple of hours ago. It was amazing that the chap I spoke to in tech did not evenknow the website for the station he works for. He put me on hold for about 3 minutes to only come back and tell me he wasn`t sure whether it was r ph e o n i x . c o . z m or r a d i o p h o e n i x . c o . z m

  27. Ba Mike your English makes it hard to comprehend what you are trying to say. Write in Tonga maybe we will understand you better.

  28. lets not generalise all indians to be bad….. l;ike in every society you get some people who tend to be on the rong side of the law and these people need to be brought to book. there are alot of indians in zambia who have done very well throught hard work. one needs to look at Trade Kings and there succeses its quite remarkable in that only 15 yrs ago its was not in existance. one good thing about the indians generally in zambia is that alot of the money they make in zambia is spent and re-invested in zambia with little being externalised. alot of them have no ties back in india and regard themsleves as zambia. unlike the chinense in my very who are just in zambia to exploit

  29. #31 sorry my english is not very good as i have beem staying in congo DRC for last 3 years . Any way thanks for your mark i will try better next time

  30. so indian bashing xenophobia is not going to get you anywhere this are just entreprenual zambians of different colour.they have been in this country for 100 years they have survived as a people in trying circumstances.they chose to remain and contribute to the country .those that left zambia when kaunda admin was bashing them now contribute to english and american society in meaningful ways entrepreneurs,medical doctors engineers accountants ceo taxpayers.drug dealing is just market forces it is supply and demand somebody will fill the supply gap if this so called indians are deportable.work on elimnating demand.

  31. 24 u still think that idi amin did was right? your writting seems to suggest that. let me tell u this…. the indians who left uganda kem to united kingdom and are tens times more successful than they were back in uganda. alot of these indians who were chased from alot of countries like uganda, malawi and kenya have set up big big million pound businesses. it was actully a blessing in disguiz. they now wish the deportation should have come earlier…..they would have been even richer. meanwhile Uganda slumped and hasnt recovered since much like how Zimbabwe will be 20 yrs down the line.

  32. #31 No offence but I think you do need to improve on your grammar.You seem to have very vital information which I think would benefit all of us.

  33. A company owned by Mahtani flirting with Katumbi. Goes to show you the kind of people pulling the strings these days.

    Aweh sure.

  34. Katumbi is a free man ,till proven guilty by the courts of law. All we need in zambia is a good constitution which will be the supreme law of the land. And by being a supreme law of the land, every zambian or foreigner living in zambia will pay allegience to the constitution and not the president,as is the case now. A system must check another system not the kind of chicken cramp going on. This is why developmental growth is slow. What do others think?

  35. In a way, are you implying South Africa’s constitution – hailed as one of the best – has produced a well-balanced society? Or is it another enlightened comment by somebody that has seen things we never will?

    I think you have a good point but please validate it, bululu.

  36. Not surprised to see thugs intertaining each other. Since when did the vast majority of us accept this GRZ as being a truly, clean government? It is clear that the anti-corruption charade is now plain for all to see. This government is as dirty as the one it replaced under Chiluba.

    LPM and his corrupt followers are shining in glory of thieving and defrauding Zambians!

  37. Katumbi ni kabolala but uwaba bwino and i think he is the next presido of Congo. Mahtani ni Satana!
