Deputy Labour Minister rebukes a foreign investor for housing workers and goats in the same place

DEPUTY Minister of Labour and Social Security Simon Kachimba yesterday rebuked a Chingola-based foreign investor for allowing his workers to share sleeping space with goats.

The workers sleep in a garage which the investor also uses to keep goats.

Mr Kachimba said when he inspected Wang-Kong Company Limited that it is inhuman for the firm to allow its workers to sleep in a garage that also houses goats.

“I am giving you up to Monday to move these people out of the garage. Give them money so that they can go and rent good houses in the townships,” Mr Kachimba said.

He said Government appreciates the contribution investors are making to economic growth, but it is important for them to respect human rights.

He also said it is unbelievable that the investor is paying his workers a monthly salary of less than K350,000.

The visibly annoyed Mr Kachimba urged management to move the workers from the garage and give them better salaries to secure alternative accommodation.

“Let us have respect for workers, without workers there can be no production. Government recognises the role workers play in national development. It is important for our partners, investors, to do the same by giving them good conditions of service,” Mr Kachimba said.

He said Government supports progressive investors who are adding value to the economy.

Mr Kachimba also toured the National Pensions Scheme Authority (NAPSA) housing complex in Kalulushi.

He called on Zambians to ignore disgruntled politicians who are criticising the developmental projects Government and its partners are undertaking.

Mr Kachimba said it is unfortunate that some people have politicised the developmental projects NAPSA is undertaking countrywide.

He said President Banda and his administration will not be derailed from implementing viable projects which are positively impacting on the lives of Zambians.

He is happy that the Kalulushi NAPSA housing project is progressing well, but advised the contractor, Yangts Jiang Enterprises, to provide workers with protective clothing.

He also advised the workers against stealing protective clothing from the company.

  1. This is very sad for the goats to be traeted like this, sure sharing a garage with the workers? The goats desever better

    • am back! u thought i would never return? u seem to be top dawg now eh? can u please inform everyone about me. after you and your friends reported me numerous time i got banned for life. now am back to deal with you. not on a personal level but based on solid argument. how is your old white fella? hasnt kicked the bucket yet? we want to eat is money too. my white woman is ok. i have been busy with my construction company in london as you already know. and i have made progress. my white woman has been so surportive and now we have incorporated her business into mine, we are still dealing with the paper work and legal issues. even with marriage i still make sure i have legal backing. my white woman seems rto be growing beautiful by te day. i love her

  2. Dont blame any one but your so called Rb and the MMD govt for bring the Chinese in this country to come and mistreat our brothers and sisters honestly why cant something be done to these animals, what investments are they bring when all the do is to misuse Zambians? . its true that Rb has sold this nation to the Chinese .your days are numbered

  3. That is how Chinese are developing their country. Work first everything else later. They dont care where their workers sleep or what they eat. The govt has to be very vigilant

  4. No1Mushota
    ulimbwa sana how do you say goats deserve better than human beings . you make me sick i wish i knew where to find you . you are very stupid am sure you are not normal and you need prayers

    • Dude, i skim u take life waaaayyyy too seriously. Cultivate a sense of humor. Its totally obvious that Mushota’s just joking.

    • You equally need prayers to remove the demons of insulting in you. Bakolwe basekene ifipato i doubt if you too is sane. Your thinking is very strange

  5. The first time I read the headline I knew that it had to be Chinese investors. I am glad that someone has come out and said something. These Mongolians are known to have the worst human rights record in the world and should be monitored very very closely. I have seen the way they treat their own people in places like England and my advise is that government should backup their findings with affirmative action. How pathetic. . 

    • dont u think he needs to be charged instead of just warning. They wont stop till legal action is taken for such nonsense

  6. Can some one please tell me what these particular Chinese company is doing in Zambia and what is thier portfolio investment in monitary terms?

  7. @Mushota

    I thought you had changed for the better. Take time to think before you start hammering on the keyboard. I think I need to have a 1-on-1 with you to teach you a bit about Internet etiquette. Do not type faster than you think.   

  8. THE CHINESE HAVE BEEN BROUGHT IN ZAMBIA BY THE ZAMBAN GOVT NOT ONLY TO INVEST BUT TO MISTREAT ZAMBIAN WORKERS AT THE SAME TIME ,THESE CHINAMAN ARE NOT HUMAN BEINGS BUT THEY ARE VICIOUS ANIMALS.CHINA HAS THE WORST HUMAN RIGHTS THE WORLD AND THEY WILL NEVER CHANGE IN A THOUSAND YEARS TO COME SO WHY SHOULD WE WASTE TIME WITH THEM AND THEY MUST BE CHASED OUT IMMIDIATLY OTHERWSE THEY WILL SLAUTER OUR POOR ZAMBIAN WORKERS.

    • Agree.It is so inhuman to treat people like that I was almost in tears……..until I read Mushota’s comment,of course typical of Mushota

  9. When i was in govt we stated it very clearly that the duty of the govt is to creat enabling environment for investors in order to encourage more capital investment in the country. Ask our learned economist Magande will tell you that you dont restrict investors you will scare them away. govt have got nothing to do with workers, workers should negotiate conditions of service with their employers

  10. Last time Mushota said she was pregnant she didn’t tell us who is responsible. I hope it is not a Chinaman

  11. People we are Zambians. Truly anyone who knows or has ideas about this Mushota. Let us inflict pain or possibly kill or on the lesser side rape her. Imbwa ya tombwa kuli wishi iyi. Mu sa ta nina. Aba I ichi Nyo uku nunka

    • Mushota is a damn prostitute and an economic refugee staying usa. Part time she ****s every guy she sees, full time do blow jobs, weekends spends time her time at the brothel dancing Kalindula, on holidays she goes opening her legs to dogs and pozing nake pictures with cats! Pipo like this Whole call MUTOOKO dont know what pipo in zambia are going through here. Atleast in usa she can make 100 usd$ for sucking a Dick. Stupid mushota. GOD PUNISH U 4 YOUR STUPID COMMENTS. Fool!

    • You are a very sick ***** probably with an IQ of a rock. Regardless of how silly Mushota’s statements are, it doesn’t take a genius to realize she makes these statements to get a rise out of dull people like you. Next time you decide to suggest a woman be raped or killed, envision your mother you sick son of a bitch.

  12. Mushota i want to know your background and next time you want to post something on this blog ask God to guide you because you rubbish

  13. THESE CHINESE INVESTORS ARE DUBIOUS ONES.THEY WILL BE MISTREATING ZAMBIAN WORKERS BADLY JUST LIKE THE BOERS TREATED OUR BROTHERS IN SOUTH AFRICA FOR MORE THAN 200 YEARS. THESE BOGUS INVESTERS WILL FINISH OUR RICH MINERALS AND MAKE HEAVEN FOR THEM SELVES IN BEIJING AND SHANGHAI. PLEASE LET US GET RID OF THESE RUTHLESS ANIMALS FROM ZAMBIA SOON BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. OTHERWISE WE ARE DOOMED.

  14. No 13
    Am also wondering who this Mushota dog is she is so annoying this a very important issue and all she does is add chilly to injury for sure we should find her and deal with her . this bitch has gone to far

  15. #1 Mushota: satire I guess, and I think its good we have people that can comment and make you laugh. I actually like the comment; because to be honest, where was government in teh first place? If your own government treat you like a dog, you expect an investor to behave differently? Grow up, no need to even think of inflicting pain on Mushota. There are too many examples of these African politicians treating their own people better than animals. Gadaffi, Mugabe, Mubarak, Banda, Museveni, and the list can go on. where was government before the guy put the workforce in a goat shed?

  16. I think people where is your sense of humour today. I think #1 Mushota is spot on, to just put a sense of humour on the situation and don’t take her seriously. I think instead of being upset with Moshata turn your anger to RB and his Chinese. This is not china where they live, dine, and sleep with animals. This is Zambia.

    What is the Dog population now in Zambia?

  17. People please, you are missing the “irony” in Mushota’s message. I think her message is meant to invoke contemplation as to why we Zambians, especially the Zambian govt, sometimes seem to care more about how these so called “investors” treat their pets and livestock better than they treat Zambians who work for them. Just think about it, this so called “Chinese Investor” actually felt that the conditions under which he was housing his goats where good enough for humans too! This is the irony Mushota, although I do not agree with her antics most of the time, is pointing out here.

    And what’s up with the exaggerated anger! Kill or Rape her? Wow! I think you have all missed Mushata’s point here. Mushata, I am not your biggest fan, but I see the Irony in what you have said!!!

  18. Both the workers and the goats deserve some decent ‘accommodation’ Mushota and all of you are right. Even animals have rights.This is animal farm!

  19. And you all wonder why the cobra has beef with the chinaman! and is so damn popular because of it by chinamen employees.

  20. Mushota, you are a Goat. 
    This is encouraging to see a government official telling off these so called investors, i’m sure others will learn a lesson and respect the employees 

  21. The new GRZ government should pass a law that all foreign investors must come with investment in Cash worth US$2m and equipment is to be imported worth US$2m minimum. So if 600 Chinese come into Zambia each one with US$2, Zambia will have US$1.2Bn in cash!! This money will then be used to rebuild our water and sanitation facilities in all our major population centres. Any foreign owned firm that ill-treats Zambians like the one above, the firm will be nationalized without compensation.

  22. This is what is obtaining in the country. No need to rape Mushota or whatever nyele you may have. She is just expressing her views. Infact she/he is right. Why did these workers chose to join goats? Goats have the right to be where they were/are and no human being should choose to join them. I end here!

  23. This is what is obtaining in the country. No need to rape Mushota or whatever ny.ele you may have. She is just expressing her views. Infact she/he is right. Why did these workers chose to join goats? Goats have the right to be where they were/are and no human being should choose to join them. I end here!

  24. Mushota is right on the ball……let me tell you why. The punishment for this investor should be first jail term and then deportation. We all know the govt will do niether of the two coz they dont give a sh#t. So lets care for the animals since clearly they are more important to RB then humans are.

  25. I am glad there is a respectable number of people on this blog who are able to appreciate mushota’s comments for what they are; satirical. when you indulge in concrete thinking you fail to appreciate what message is being brought to the fore by comments such mushota’s and really it just shows what type of human beings you are. Why threatening to kill and worse rape someone? that is sick and frankly between you and mushota, i think she is the saner of the two. as for blaming RB for the Chinese…. I wonder why the same people who insist that RB is only implementing late LPM’s policies and should not claim credit for the the developement projects are so eager to credit RB with the chinese invasion. Be consistent please!!!

  26. Let us be realistic. The Minister’s government pays its workers between K 280,000 -K 800,000(graduates), while a descent house is rented for K 1,500,000 and above. Isn’t this amount equavalent to what one should pay for occupying a garage with goats and pigs. The Minister’ govt. should first be seen to treat its workers with descency before they can expect investors to treat theirs better. The govt set a standard for K 280,000 housing allownce which is enough for sharing accommodation with goats. His Hon. is annoyed not because he feels for poor workers but because this has been exposed in an election year.

  27. #28 Do you think those goats are older that 4 yrs, who could eat them then, they will be as hard as Mushota’s matako? Mwanawasa never left goats in garages or chicken and pigs at Mulungushi Textiles in Kabwe. This culture of allowing Chinese to come with goats, is latest. I think the Chinese think Ruphia Banda also bleeds monkeys at state house, those which urinates at him.

  28. Mushota says:Sat May 21 at 10:59 amThis is very sad for the goats to be traeted like this, sure sharing a garage with the workers? The goats deserve better.

    MUSHOTA – Comedian of the year…..silly Zambians can’t see comedy…Look at how easily they want to kill over humour and good humour at that yet they can’t remove dictators and fix real issues

  29. I seriously don’t see this Kachimba staying long as a Minister, he’s committed an abominable sin of telling off RB’s business partners. The Economics RB did mwa welensky never recognised workers as an important factor in any establishment so its unfair trying to teach this old dog new tricks.
    As for Mushota, only fo.ols react to her comments

  30. The Chinese investors are just like that everywhere. They are silly. We know Zambia is a free market ghetto but foreign investors should be monitored closely because their objective is not to develop Zambia but to reap as much as they can. So its about time government woke up and started supervising these investors and make sure that the investment benefits the Zambians. Its not our business if they sleep with goats and eat dogs where they come from, let them treat our people with respect. 

  31. #29 The most logical thing is to rent a house which the workers would be able to use. I am sure that renting a house for K1,500,000 would save a lot of money and treat the workers as human beings. You need to understand the Chinese and where they come from to understand that for them this is nothing. RB is not omnipotent and I blame the workers for not reporting this and the local labour office for not having discovered this earlier. It is about time we started clamping down on such inhuman treatment of indigenous Zambian’s. It is the role of the news media to highlight such issues.      

  32. These MMD goat-ministers, how can he allow humans to spend another weekend with goats? Why did he command the Chinese to slaughter those goats and feed the workers? 3 more nights with that smell?

  33. BRING IN ESPECIAL SHARIA LAW FOR THE CHINESE INVESTERS. IF THE CHINAMAN IS CAUGHT MISTREATING ZAMBIAN WORKER INHUMANELY THAN THEIR BALLS SHOULD BE CHOPPED OFF AND BE DEPORTED TO CHINA INSTANTLY AND ONLY THAN THEY WOULD UNDERSTAND ZAMBIANS BETTER. MOST OF THESE CHINESE ARE HARD CORE CRIMINALS BACK IN CHINA AND TO EMPTY THEIR PRISONS THEY ARE BEING SENT TO AFRICAN COUNTRIES AS INVESTORS.IF THE AFRICAN COUNTRIES DO NOT OPEN THEIR EYES NOW THEY WILL BE LEFT TO DEAL WITH A HUGE PROBLEMS IN THE VERY SHORT FUTURE. MAY GOD SAVE ZAMBIA AND THE REST OF AFRICAN COUNTRIES FRIM THESE MAD MAD DOG EATERS.

  34. I know a white prominent farmer of PF who houses his workers in a piggery. This same guy once cheated the govt to kill his pigs on the pretext that a deadly fever was looming and that all pig farmers be compensated. In the end only him was compensated!! So, its not only choncholis who are mistreating their workers. Investigate this guy!!

  35. IF SUPPOSE SATA GAVE ME A JOB IN HIS CABINET AFTER 2011 ELECTIONS I WOULD OPT TO BECOME MINISTER OF HOME AFFAIRS AND ONCE IN OFFICE I WOULD SWIPE CLEAN ZAMBIA FROM THESE CHINESE THAT HAS INVADED OUR MOTHERLAND.WITH IN 48 HOURS.MAY GOD SAVE MY MOTHERLAND FROM THESE EVIL PEOPLE

  36. mushota, u ignorant chimp u are still alive. haha? iye its been forever my friends. how are things on this page? Everybody remembers me. I was the most famous man on this page. mushota only joined way after me and she swagger jacked me, in other words se stole my style after numerous reports to lusaka times that i should be banned. well she achieved that and now apparently she thinks she rules the page. she is a typical black woman who is mad at the world. myself and her never got along due to the fact that we are really divergent on our views. i for one praise the white woman and am against having any realtionship with black women due to personal reasons while on other hand mushota despises black men.she seems to have something agaisnt sexual satisfaction. am back!!!deuces bane:)>-

  37. #33.Shaka.Labour office?You serious?Have you been to them lately?They never ever dispense justice for the workers.Their main line of business is to authenticate documents!

    And true,RB is not omni present/omnipotent, but if he used the op to find out about investor behaviour rather than trail his perceived political enemies,he would know that these chinamen are keeping the workers like crap.Eveb the China flag carrier investment in Zambia,the chambeshi outfit is a crap payer.employees conditions are the worst in the mining industry by a long mile.300pin as housing allowance-thats wat a guy I used know said he was gettin at NFCA!!

  38. TALK! TALK! No action! You are the minister, the custodian of the people, you should take action make sure that Chinese is prosecuted or make recommendations to the right ministry so that civil action can be taken. Human abuse should not be taken lightly and any case should be dealt with firmly without any bias.The Chinese are walking away with murder, and the stupid minister is castigating Zambians about protective clothing. How do you steal something you don’t have in the first place? if that is that is the reason the Chinese gave you, the you are more gullible, you don’t deserve the ministerial post. Learn to listen to your fellow Zambians, if they complain about low wages and poor working conditions. Don’t politicise, these are basic human rights

  39. Mushota, I have to sue you now. My ribs are all cracked up. At least you should have waited for other people to make their comments. Now I cannot even read any other comment. You are amazing.

  40. Mushota is just too smart for most of the bloggers on LT. I have never and will not insult Mushota. Read between the lines in her blogs, there is a lot of message about how African countries treat their people and how Europeans treat their people. Her so called fiance is a portrayal of how a man should treat her spouse and love their spouses. Scotland, in her story is not only a country, but an example of how most European nations are kept clean and how a nation should be run by their politicians.

    Mushota. you have my thumbs up. Keep the humor flowing.

    • ask mushota who made her famous! ask her about walai. she knows it thats why she is not responding to me. i was the most famous man and hated man on this page 2 years ago. most of you are new! the likes of miss daisy , matworld. i miss those guys. mushota got fame after getting in arguments with me the top dawg. she lost very badly and after decided to start blocking me and reportn me. this saw me get a life ban. i am back and you are all in for it. mushota is the making of LT thats why she cant be deleted. i made comments less explicit than what she says here but LT deleted me and kepty her. be wise LT is mushota and they using her to get you fools coming back to this page.

  41. @ Mushota, I like it when you end your comments with “thanks”. I look forward to the next one ;)

  42. just off to take a walk and walk the dogs with my white woman. some of us with white mannerisms. nice weather in london bane. ba madamu vali mu mini skirt, its summer bane. elo chalikwata bokosi chi madamu. sometimes i wonder how i am so lucky to have this big bottom white woman. lesa mukali!! after walking dogs, it will be straight for my dance classes, some of us with white manners

  43. The conman here is the GOVT. Adept at hoodwinking the mentally challenged! “The visibly annoyed Mr Kachimba urged management to move the workers from the garage and give them better salaries to secure alternative accommodation.” And this is the assistant labour minister who should know labour law and how to enforce it. 

  44. #1 Mushota you have just made laugh so much. That was a well put joke. As for the govt, they are aware of the treatment the chinese give to Zambians. I personally witnessed a chinese slapping a zambian in full view by ZAF officers in longacres. It was only when I confronted the chinese guy that these officers came over to complain. The current situation is that RB has been bought by these tine fellas and he is more answerable to them than to Zambians. Rumours has it chinese criminals are being bailed directly by state house. I commend the deputy minister for being brave and publicly complain on behalf of his people. Do not be surprised if he gets fired by RB though – he has upset RB’s masters.

  45. Whenever Mr Sata ask this Chinese investors to respect our country’s labour laws and rights of workers govt and some people call him all crazy names. Now imagine Zambian investor in China treating Chinese workers like this in their country what would happen to poor Zambian? find answers.

  46. Zambians should learn to hold on to their dignity. They were sleeping with goats because they wanted to! Poverty has nothing to do with it. Zambians expect to be stepped on and thats the problem.

  47. # 45 – you seem to be trying hard to be noticed. My advice is that you must try and write with substance and stick to the topic. I guarantee you followers. By the way what’s your view on the chinese allowing your country men to sleep with goats?

    • u are misinformed u igonrant inbred. u are too new here. makaka iwe. ask any aone about me! ask mushota, thats why she hasnt responded. she is shitting her pants as we speak. she knows what she did. she is possessed with the need of attention and it led her to reporting me numerious times as i am and was the most famous man on this site. i was blocked for over a year. when my name featured on any news article people froze and reported me coz i speak the truth. mind your own business. am sure u are a nobody. u dont know me. u seem to suffer from ” white woman denying me all the time” syndrome. its common for you poor zambians in UK. come to london i cwill offer u a job and feed that monkey clan u call a family. stick to your business

  48. I am not the the biggest fan of PF leadership, particularly its President. But this is the one area I concide with their aspirations and fundamentally disagree with MMD. This story makes me sick to the core. Clearly neocolonialism is fully at play in Zambia. Parliament must quickly go back to the drawing board and commence repealing or reformation of employment laws. After 47 years of independence we cannot allow a visitor or indeed anyone else treat their employees that way. Austin Liato must either be sacked or volutantrily resign. This guy is a trade unionist who should know better. MMD for once must Knowledge that a technocrate with an indepth understanding of labour economics and emplyment laws should takeover the labour ministry.

  49. This ministry is no longer a simple government department as I think Liato sees it. It has become complicated and will continue getting even more complex with the influx of the so called investors. The minister of labour should be a radicle thinker and not just a simple party cadre that Liato is. I am huge follwer of Senior citizen’s postings, he makes me twitch with his breath taking analysis and colourful language full of painful facts for his critics. I want to kow what he has got to say on this one. I am sorry but this is a make or break for MMD and it could not have come from a staunch supporter and I know alot of swing voters feel the same. You cannot have such rectifiable things persist even an election, It shows how removed the ruling elite are from reality on the ground.

  50. Second bottom line correction: You cannot have such rectifiable things overtly persist even in an election year. It shows how removed the ruling elite are from reality on the ghround.

  51. This is unacceptable! How can Rupiah allow this? would he let his family members share accommodation with beasts? This so called investor should be fine heavily. These chinese are being let off too lightly.  This is just the tip of the iceberg. How long will this carry on? change is what is needed someone needs to be more assertive.  Come on RB polish up your act or else the masses will have their say and you may not like the outcome.

  52. The unbelievable thing is the minister is powerless. All he can do is complain instead of taking action because these Chinese are protected. Shame on this govt of words and no deeds

  53. There is a breach of gvernment minimum wage for a start, which I believe stands at K450,000. If that is indeed the case, these investors must be visited by the law. But I am not so hopeful there is any law to protect the Zambian labour force, otherwise we would not have had shootings, persistent accidents, beatings at work and now mixing animals with humans. This minimum wage isssue was a hollow political rhetoric with no constitutional backing. Providing enabling environment doesnt merely imply luring investors into the country and let them do as they please. It goes beyond to include setting employment quarters on percentage of locals to top, middle and lower positions in these companies. In addition employer have a responsibility to protect workers and their interests. Govt enforces

  54. Being shot at by your employer for demanding better conditions of service and lacking support from your government to see to it that prevails is far much worse than sharing sleeping space in a garage with goats! So, bwana minister, why the hypocricy here? We know the chinese come first to you so stop provoking us who genuinely care about the suffering Zambians!

  55. Wow…no reaction to the action. It is like the head of police finds a thief stealing with a gun in his police station. He is vibily angry and just tells him not to steal again. maybe get a job instead of stealing. Do you really think that will deter other thieves from stealing from the police station. NO. As a leader of the Ministry of labour one would expect him to revoke the companies licence and close the company IMMEDIATELY. How do you expect people to respect Zambian workers if the deputy head of labour’s reaction is aloof?

  56. Goats need to be respected we cant have michopo without them, also i remember a story of a man defiling a goat in Kapiri mposhi, the man is in prison now,whenever one buys a live goat say from kitwe to lusaka he needs livestock clearance certificate…VIP stype, this justifies how important goats are as compared to what chinese investors think of our labour force. This D minister shud not pretend to be angry when he has the labour contract the same chinese signed in his office, he pretends to give them 48hrs why such along time, between now and monday what will happen to his pockect? PF would deregister him right their and then,then deported. What has happened to zambian contractors?? even building houses u are giving chinese companies?? koma zavuta pa zed

  57. Again Zambian workers should not tolerate such nonsense. No level of poverty should allow a human being to stoop this low. No employer foreign or Zambian should be allowed to do this. Every Zambian is important you have rights given to you by your creator.

  58. # 1 Mushota in which planet are you?you made me laugh or you didnt get the story did u?at least you made me read all the comments hoping that i will find your second comment hahahah wansekesha mwe.goats deserve better

  59. @#1 Mushota for the first time you have made some sense lol nice one.When Sata talks about these investors, the MMD is the first one to demonize him or his sentiments.The MMD is starting to contradict itself on many issues as is evident on PVT.Isn’t this the same investors that MMD is praising for creating over 15.000 jobs? Now, like Mushota put it,pls move the goats out ASAP because they deserve better according to this stupid gvmt which very much knows the conditions that our people are being subjected to.MMD vuvuzelas where you @?

  60. mushota, this one really cracked a few of my ribs too. fortunately for me, there was a mobile hospital in the neighbourhood, thanks to rb.

  61. pf cadres, please put aside our leader mr sata. as a central committee of the government in waiting, we know that he would not be any better at all, he just plays to the gallery for the politics. as one blogger has correctly observed, if he was serious about workers he would start with gay scotland.

  62. the observation and order by hon kachimba shows that government is caring. when these workers’ conditions of service improve they will put their cross on the clock. agony for pf everyday.

  63. Bloggers please stop demeaning yourselves by commenting on this maggot Mushota’s postings. She’s ever annoyingly off- the-mark. She needs shunning into irrelevance. Issues such as this need serious minded contributers or worthy comments. Our interests on this one cut cross party affilliations and believe it or this debate will penetrate into plot one. It is so sensitive that even the wise man of this forum, Senior Citizen will not bring himself to courageously drop a sentence or two. It is simply indefensible.

  64. This is serious animal rights violations this investor is practicing. I just hope the next news headline shall not be goat illegally violated and made pregnant by mwine CB, nyele Zambians muleke alah!

  65. Did this Choncho man force these people? What do their contracts say?

    As for paying them less, wake up you Africans, it’s up to Kachimba to sort out.

    Chances are Choncho man is doing them a favour

    Price you pay for being corrupt

  66. Tupuli twa Mulimu meee, onafa kakamu ka italeha mba ya baipanguli ba. MaZambians, linyawe ni lifolofolo za mung’a bupilo mutuhela mwa swabisa libatana tuni. 

  67. Mushota is a damn prostitute and an economic refugee staying usa. Part time she ****s every guy she sees, full time do blow jobs, weekends spends time her time at the brothel dancing Kalindula, on holidays she goes opening her legs to dogs and pozing nake pictures with cats! Pipo like this Whole called MUTOOKO dont know what pipo in zambia are going through here. Atleast in usa she can make 100 usd$ for sucking a Dick. Stupid mushota. GOD PUNISH U 4 YOUR STUPID COMMENTS. Fool!

  68. Guys this Chimp called makes me laugh. Each time she opens her legs and mouth at the same time she shocks the all world. She says things out of this world. Why? Is it bkoz she was born at the market when are mother was selling tomato or its bkoz of utuswende she contracted when she just went to usa?

  69. @40 You are right. I have been away from ZED for quite a while and the only sources of information on what is happening back home is from forums such as these. The only thing we can do whilst in the diaspora is use the available media to air our views. I do not like a lot of things that are going on but I also ask myself what I would do to change things if I was in power. It is very easy to be an armchair critic. 

  70. #58 and #60, fake Analysis, do not mislead people. You can find your own identity. People will read between the lines and know that mine and your level of intellingence are mile apart. Continue s.tupi.dly mimicing and pretend to be me, copy st.pid-cat.

    The
    fake Mushota (without the characteristic picture) your short analysis of the article is brilliant, it has so much content. I hope the people have got your message.

  71. I’m just wondering…would this story have been brought to light if Mr Kachimba had not done the inspection. So much c.r.a.p is going on in the country and if media people stopped parroting politicians all the time, a lot of things would be exposed. Maybe, just maybe leaders in position would be moved to act responsibly but nooo, all journalists follow are speeches and so called honourables, pathetic! Mushota I like your sense of humor

  72. The insults I have read today, especially from JK at # 73 & 74, if Mushota was reading this time she will plug her kasoswe out.

  73. Zambia does not need to permit every investor that pops his nose at investment centre. Its too much of these Chinese Guys and time to ask those who do not respect the Zambian worker to flyoff with their capital is long over due. Its saddening every time to read of the bad treatment of workers among Chinese investors from shooting to treating our people like animals.

  74. This is Zambia, an extension of China. Our National Housing Authority can’t even build houses now, it’s the Chinese to do it.

    This really makes me angry with this MMD Govt. They pay civil servants slavery wages, K150-280000 as housing a allowance, what do you expect the Chinese to do, who boast they only know RB in Zambia, and don’t give a damn thing to anyone? They are brought and protected by state house. We c can talk all we want, nothing will happen. Our country’s economy is in real danger as the Chinese are the ones running it, & all proceeds are being used to build China.

    Lets protect our country using the voting booth. I’m scared for my beloved country. At least Chinese fear Sata.

  75. Very funny Mushota. Its sad some people didn’t get the joke. They as usual started issuing threats. # 13, surely in this day and age, hw do you incite people to rape someone. This blogg is meant for civilized people.Im sure u hv females in ur family, hw would u feel if some lunatic raped one of them?If you cant handle the heat, get out of the kitchen.

  76. #76 I got no time to imitate you for a word analysis. Sorry to disappoint you but my post was not about you. It was about the aloof reaction to the workers sleeping where goats are kept. Did it ever cross your mind that I did not know there was someone using the name analysis too? If you do not ask me politely to change the name because of conflict of interest I will keep using it. If you want respect from a fellow blogger you need to respect them too.

  77. Please lets find this Malepe and and stretch her for insulting Zambians. Please people any info on where abouts????

  78. Am still anoid with mushota’s comment that goats deserve a better place. We understand mushota is in usa where annimals are built hospitals and given first class treatment but thats not enough reason this monkey should give such a comment. Mushota grow up. Whoever came up with lsk times wanted to give Zedians a platform where they can express their views objectively not Jokes. Zambia has serious problems which need solutions. Not mushota’s jokes.

  79. 87 and 88.
    the two of you must have a total brain cell count of 2….are you so d.umb?

  80. #91 Thanks for the clarification. Reading the contributions on LT from people in the diaspora just goes to show how much each of us misses home. Keep blogging.  

  81. Analysis #91, let’s not create a storm in a tea. Can I politely and humbly ask you to spare my name and find an alternative name on this blog. A lot of people know me by this name on LT and I just want to keep my identity. Let me know if you will find my proposed amicable identity settlement difficult so that I can find a gradual and smooth way of changing mine without losing my followers who I treasure and cherished very much each I come on this blog.  

    • #93 No problem. I will stop using the name analysis. I am not a regular blogger and not very familiar with the house hold names. My apologies…I will use the name strategy from now on. Stay blessed.

  82. #93 I will stop using the name Analysis as shown above I will use the name Protocol. I am not a regular blogger and didn’t mean to step on your toes. Sorry…
    #92 thankyou for being understanding. Stay blessed.

  83. Its normal even here in China unskilled personnel sleep anywhere. What do you expect the chinese investor to do when those people were happy as long as the following day they were on payroll. Its easy the chinese man can fire them and within ten minutes they will be replaced. If our leaders do not clarify on labour laws , this nonsense will be the order of the day.

  84. Protocol thanks for this amicable resolution to our dispute over a name. I always knew that we would settle the matter without bloodshed, a Zambian spirit which am sure will extend back home after this year’s elections. I extend one hand to you while the other is on my heart. Am sure our gesture is a living example to other bloggers especially those that have been threatening to kill, rape or ruin the lives of those that step in their way. Our good example shows how matters,
     however difficult, can be resolved by following Protocol

  85. #96 wise words from a very analytical person. I concur, peace is important and it starts with the little things we do in life. I am pleased we resolved the issue amicably too. The beauty of it is that it shows how we negotiated respectfully and got a result. Have a great week and keep up the good work blogging.

  86. How sad, I have just had people do 3 days work and I have paid them the equivalent of what the Chinaman is paying in a month, yet I feel I could pay better and have given these people the chance to work without interference and so far I hear they are doing a good job. The best investment will come from Zambians, but then we are at a disadvantange because we might not be willing to pay the bribes the Chinaman is willing to pay. These politician are decampaigning themselves, because who will vote? Zambians, yes it will be Zambians lest you forget
