  1. The Ower of that mine must be arrested police do your job properly there this a serious matter people who are shagging girls are locked up for 18 years but these known criminals are let free on the streets it is unfair.

  2. Here we go again with the PF, why investigate the equipment which was found? Now it be parked FOREVER at Mufumbwe Police Station, better off it continue being used at the mine.
    MP Masumba must get involved to clean-up his constituency and Kalulushi DC must man up to go and get the equipment on behalf of the Chinese. Its a POLITICAL case.

    • Man are you for real ? Cant you make a meaningful contribution that will have a positive bearing on the readers of Lt ? I strongly suggest you go back to school and improve your understanding of issues .

  3. if I were him. I would ve exchanged the front end loader with copper ore in congo. sale the copper to chinese smelters without mines & buy a new machine. As for the police theirs nothing to investigate. just compare the engine chasis number & interpol vol #. Then you ask the guy to explain. found with stolen goods is an offense. plse cage that Labonise.

  4. Hahaha, I wonder if it flew to there! This is daft thinking by those who stole the equipment. Very myopic, selfish, greedy minds. This is a bluntant way of depriving one town of development to go develop private mine and wrongly so. Punish the culprit. Let them pay for lost business.

  5. Another cadre at work. The prediction that it will be found in the hands of a cadre has come to pass.

  6. Levy wanted this man caged forever, but others found him useful and let him loose, yes useful to steal development from the poor in Kalulushi? If indeed the equipment is the one stolen from Kalulushi, what is there to investigate? We all know that even receiving stolen property is a criminal offence.

    • How is that possible when Levy was his lawyer? Don’t tell us lies. The Police need to get to the bottom of this! There are still a lot of questions to be answered…

  7. Some old habits die hard. Those of you who may not know him, check out the case of Shawi Fawazi and Prosper Chelelwa vs. The People, (1995) S.J.1 (S.C.) then you will understand how it is possible that such a huge machine could go missing on the Copperbelt and resurface in North Western.

  8. Shawi Fawaz again, this guy is a born criminal, he has been a problem from the time of ba Chiluba’s era and he is still a thorn in the flesh, since the law has failed to sort him out, think the only option is a bullet in his head.

  9. PLEASE deport all these Arab terrorists. Shawi Fawaz has no interest in seeing the survival and success of Zambia. He can even plot a terrorist act against innocent Zambians. I don’t know why we keep playing Russian roulette with Arabs….these people are by nature heartless. Look at how they are busy destroying themselves with bombs and guns and ridiculous death-sentences every day. I personally don’t to see one within 1 mile of my neighbourhood. Call me a racist, I don’t care.

  10. THE THING ABOUT THIS GUY IS NOT THAT HE IS PF. THIS GUY HAS BEEN A PROBLEM LONG BEFORE PF WAS BORN.
    FOR THOSE WITH MEMORY, REMEMBER THIS GUY IN THE DAYS OF CASHBAR IN LUSAKA.
    THIS GUY IS TOP DIRTY AND DOES’T LIKE ANYTHING STRAIGHT.

  11. Shawi Fawaz in the news…. again? Why does this criminal appear untouchable, kanshi? Is he not the same guy who ‘donated’ that Toyota Corolla to the former Copperbelt Police Chief Mary Tembo?

    • @Uwauma na fyala
      No, sir, that donation was made by Grizzly Mining, a company owned by one Gounasse, an African Senegalese.

  12. Just watch, that machine has finished its work. It was only reported found after the JOB was finished. The will be no arrests, but Kasosa be careful that is how Mary Tembo got fixed by the same Cartel.
