  1. Even if the risk is too high, atleast learn to appreciate. 10M is no little money.Your friends in other companies with even a higher risk than you are getting far less than that.Go back for work!!!

  2. There are alot of *****s who can drive tankers just fire them so that they can be eating blow-job at home.
    I am a Graduate and drive key business but only get K0.5 m. I have even applied for a driver job.

  3. 10million and these guys have the guts to strike, please fire them, maybe my uncle can get a job now. stupid *****s.

  4. LT please confirm are the asking risk allowance on top of a consideration of between 10m to 12m zmk? Or are they earning between 10 m to 12 m zmk and now want risk allowance. If they are already earning between 10 m and 12 m zmk then they are the most ungrateful employees in Zambia and must be fired. How many people in Zambia get that kind of money?

  5. Already there were queues yesterday at some filling stations in Kitwe. I think the drivers are being unrealistic if they get about K10/K12m unless the figues have been misqouted by the reporter as usual.

  6. What these muppets need is less money in their pockets! If it is true they earn 10 + million kwacha per month merely for driving trucks then they are truly ungrateful! Just fire them!

  7. I think the english hasn’t been written well. Iam assuming they want salaries of bewteen 10 -12 million plus risk allowance. Shouldnt we all become truck drivers now?

  8. I here they currently paid K 900,000.00 to K 2,500,000.00, No risk allowance. Thats why they are demanding for an increment (of up to 10m ). 

    • There are actually a whole lot of puiarcaltrs like that to take into consideration. That is a nice point to bring up. I supply the ideas above as normal inspiration however clearly there are questions just like the one you carry up the place a very powerful factor will likely be working in sincere good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged round things like that, but I’m certain that your job is clearly recognized as a fair game.

  9. This explains the queues at filling stations in kitwe, some filling stations have run out of the commodity and the only option is to jump on a bus after work. I guess its time for action, we deserve more money in our pockets. Who’s next to go on strike? Taxi and bus drivers i guess.

  10. Am quiting my job with a very nice title en am a graduate, i nid to go get my psv drivers licience en apply for a job as a truck driver if these punks really get between 10 to 12m salary

  11. LT is on autopilot they just blindly copy and paste…do some work for once imwe ba £$%^!! instaed of messing about with a PC’s mouse!!

  12. Whatever these guys are currently getting, an increament to 10m-12m is unrealistic for a truck driver. There are degree holders getting half what they are demanding. These guys must be charged with economic sabortage, the PF goverment must do something abt these strikes bfo they bring the country down. 12m for a driver?

  13. The more money in your pockets mantra has really gotten to people. How can some uneducated driver demand for between 10 and 12 million kwacha? What kind of money is that company making to afford such kind of monies. Clearly the Labour Minister, Fackson, is not making a mark on all these demands. The president needs to speak or issue some statement but his minister has been ignored. Let them ask for risk allowance but not these astronomical figures pull out of ones empty brain. How many people take risks? The guards at the Indeni refinery will then have to earn 20 or 30 million kwacha since they are at even greater risk with more gallons of gas. People need to be more serious. If i owned those companies I would tell them to quit to let them find someone to pay them 10 m

  14. AGONY IS……..believing the ‘MORE MONEY IN YOUR POCKET’ rubbish within 90 days,then when the Cobra gets to State House he tells you off that that was actually what ‘DONT KUBEBA’ meant.
