President Michael Sata has called on Zambians living in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to work hard and contribute to their country’s economic development.
Speaking in Kinshasa last night when he met Zambians living in DRC at the official residence of the Zambia’s Ambassador to that country, Fidelis Kapoka, President Sata said there were a lot of Congolese nationals living in Zambia whom he said were doing very fine with regards to business and contributing to national development.
He said that it was important that Zambians living in the DRC emulate their colleagues by working hard.
ZANIS reports that President Sata said Zambians should use their presence in the DRC to market their country back home.
He emphasized that there was no time for Zambians living in DRC to be lazing around but time to work hard and make money.
President Sata further charged that Zambians and Congolese should partners in trade and work together to improve their countries’ economies.
President Sata, who is accompanied by First Lady Dr. Christine Kaseba, his Special Assistant for Press and Public Relations George Chellah, arrived in Kinshasa yesterday for the 17th Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) summit for heads of state and government.
The summit, which opens today at the African Union Villa, is being held under the theme ‘consolidating intra COMESA trade through micro, small and medium entrepreneur development’.
There are 19 COMESA members countries among them Zambia, Congo, Uganda and Burundi.
Come back home and witness the boat sinking…
…at least this suit fits him although he wears it 80% of the time.
I hear the whole Zambian DRC embassy is a bunch of related villagers?
Going to work in Congo? Awe sure!
Working hard facebooking your mean……….
Hahaha! Ba reporter ati ” …where the President MATE Zambians LEAVING in DRC…”. Is this why the govt is introducing mother tongue languages as the medium of instruction at our schools?
@Wanu Ngwee – I was also wondering about that; it is almost bordering insinuation of what the president was doing!! @Nubian Princess – it is in the most unlikely of places that gold is struck.
Ati where the President mate Zambians – hahahahaha eish LT…its met not mate.
The Congolese chap you wanted to impose on the people of Katuba has been rejected. 2016 kuya bebele! Halaisa Halaisa!
Katuba has never been for the boat before! which sinking are you talking about? Mwati cina Zambia ici!
Why does he always hold the tube when walking?
Henrique – Check his facebook postings on the urine tube. Urine normally smells, that boy ought to be chocking with the urine smell.

Knowing Sata Ka lassa lassa, he MATE Zambians. Bane mulepitamo mufisungu shuwa!
For the first time he has not insulted Zambians in diaspora and encouraged them instead.
@No. 4: You have abominable imagination.
6: in DRC they behaved well, unlike the upnd in Botswana.
Good to see mr Kapoka. From Taxi man to Ambassador.
This chap should just buy a walking stick, why using the little boy as his walking support??
Indeed he should use his walking sticks even in public ,this denial of Sata..na that all is well is dangerous ,you endangering the lives of those small boys with your witchcraft please or better still lean on your dialysis machine operator Kaseba,she’s busy chewing GRZ money for nothing.
Timely advice from our beloved HEAD of State
From a taxi triver to an ambassodor. no wonder we have yusilesi ministers and ambassadors. enjoy your money before PF is kicked out in 2016.
I SENCE DANGER HERE WHY HAS FROM NOWHERE SATA INTRODUCED THIS TRICK OF HOLDING CHILDREN WHILE WALKING?THE CHURCH SHOULD STOP THIS VERY DANGEROUS LIFE RISKING TREND BY SATA
ZAmbaians living in Congo? Bufi,they are Congolese.
Where he mate? Just use Bemba. It will be much easier.
I think the best picture would have been of him interacting with fellow Presidents and Prime Ministers. His position is synonymous with that of an economic and network ambassador, hence, it would have been nice to see a picture of him with Kabila, Joyce Banda or Museveni. He always gravitates towards people that are most likely to worship him.
The problem is that tribalism is like accusations around witchcraft. It has no objective criteria.The accuser is the referee and the judge. Zambians are however becoming wiser by the day- a tribe can not feed you, but good governance and prudent management can.
UPND will want to bring war to Zambia when they lose in 2016 – but we will defeat them there too. Because we are Zambia, we are One Zambia one Nation.
UPND, its leaders and followers have rebelled against there own and only country but we will never allow them to destroy our Zambia.
They only preach hate! Zambia and Zambians do not know hate.
Did he have to go to Congo to say this? Why doesn’t he just say it on his Facebook page?
Here is a President who cannot face his people in his country, but spends millions of taxpayer’s money to travel out of the country to address people who may not even legally be Zambians, face to face!
I have no more words to describe Zambia’s fifth President. I can only pray that God may rest him soon and spare us the agony we have endured as a nation from this most arrogant of all people.
Human beings will never appreciate, if he didn’t go they would still continue crying foil. He could have gone there to meet with his counter part, the presidents of that country, to discuss and find everlasting solutions for violence at the boarder post…lets be appreciative and support our Head of State..Way to go HE
It is crying foul NOT foil and border NOT boarder. For ur mistakes in simple English I give u a minus
Where he’ MATE’……….consequences of exam leakages. Failing to grasp such simple grammar. Even more shameful someone suggests that the writer should use bemba to report. Why sink so low as to suggest bemba as an alternative?
The official language in all Zambian embassies is Bemba. What do you expect from people who eat their kinsmates(monkeys)
I assure you there are no Zambians living in congo, only Congolese living in Zambia.
VILLEGERS ARE THE ONES WHO TOLKS TOO MUCH. LEKA NOBO BALYEKO BANTU NGAIWE. NABO BALA VOTER.
