Home Affairs Minister Davis Mwila has dismissed as malicious online media reports suggesting that he has taken over the issuance of work permits to expatriates from the government committee that sits to approve the applications.
Mr. Mwila told QFM News that he understands very well his job and what he is supposed to do and not do.Mr. Mwila said the people fabricating such lies are bitter because government is now strict with the issuance of work permits.
He stated that government will only give expatriates work permits for jobs that Zambians do not have the skills for.Mr. Mwila said there will be no compromise in the issuance of expatriate work permits.
Mr Mwila has since challenged those claiming he has taken over the issuance of work permits to produce evidence of how many permits he has issued.He noted that the people of Zambians have been crying for jobs and that if jobs are taken by foreigners, Zambians will continue being unemployed.Mr. Mwila stated that the PF government is committed to delivering on its campaign promises by creating more jobs for the people of Zambia.
Looking at that Chines fella roasting ‘milisi’ on the street, one would be inclined to believe the rumors Mr. Mwila. How did people like him find their way into Zambia to come and compete with ‘bamake’ Charity on the street? Or have they simply over-stayed their Tourist Visas? If so, what are you doing about it?
It seems the one selling maize is that lady standing behind and the Chinese guy is just roasting his cob after buying.
CHAMA SELLING WORK PERMITS TO HIGHEST BIDDER.
Iwe Mwila I know that you are just pandering to the gullible Zambians more especially the PF thugs who can’t tell that you deceiving them.
This rhetoric is just a pretext to sound tough and yet you are busy, having secret meetings with foreigners who want permits. I know you are telling them to deposit money in some bank account before you can sign off the permits.
Very soon we shall have those bank details and some foreigners who actually paid you for their work permit.
So far there are 10 people we sent to pretend to be foreigners asking for permits with dollars in cash to test if you won’t accept the money.
We are watching your every move Bwana. All your middle men are on our watch list at the REDBRICK.
So watch out…
Bt that is not here in zambia sir
This picture is not from Zambia it’s from another country look at the registration number of the car to the left of chino man
@ Tonga Bull fimofimo
Even when it is clear that this in Zambia you still deny it just to justify your corrupt government. Are those orange ribbons not for taxis & mini buses in one of the provinces around.
It doesn’t hurt to keep quiet instead of nauseating people with your foul line of thought!
baba dont u see vehicles with foreign number plates in zambia? thats not an adequate argument. ok als look at the public minibus with a yellow lining.
That bus with yellow ribon is not from Zambia including that mosi beer belly standing behind in blue jesey????
Is the guy in the picture ”Chinese” or he is a ”Zambian Albino”?
Hon Minister,
Please visit First Quantum’s operations….YOU WILL NET AT LEAST 80 PEOPLE THERE WHO DO NOT LEGALLY QUALIFY.
The Ndola office bribed people at Lusaka’s Immigration Office to issue them with work permits. Raid the Ndola office and you can intercept the files. Sonia is the kingpin. Her job is solely to obtain work permits. She is the one who flies to Lusaka every week carrying a briefcase with US$. This has been going on since 2006.
GOOD MR. MWILA. AND PLEASE INSTRUCT IMMIGRATION OFFICE TO CLEAN OUR TOWNS AND COMPOUNDS OF ILLEGAL FOREIGNERS WHO ARE IN OUR COUNTRY WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION, AND THOSE ONES WHO ARE DOING BUSINESSES MEANT FOR THE LOCALS. PLEASE THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR OUR COUNTRY.
Abena Rwanda. Didnt the war there end years ago? Most reports about africa mention how Rwanda is an example for Africa – then why are they here setting up tuntemba everywhere.
Supported bwana minister
Number 3 Thief Justice:
Wanisekesa kekeke!!!!

You should see the documentary of how those Chinese chaps are
rasicst towards black Africans working in China, you will assault the next one you see.
I could really like to see the documentary. Really itching to assault one of them !!
Minister pls hold on to that & check existing permits also. Come to Solwezi mines Titan Drilling employees a lot of Zimbabweans for every kind of Jobs, Zambians are on the streets.
I like your approach Hon D Mwila. I now feel even more Zambian and very soon we shall start giving you information that will help the country get rid of some bogus expertriates. Continue wth the same spirit
Hon D Mwila, the majority of Zambians are unskilled, so look also where unskilled jobs are being taken from them, like in Indian and Lebanese shops and factories.
Edgar Lungu has come by force. As things are going it will be very hard for anyone to dethrone him in 2016.
Nice move Internet service providers watch out with your so called Indians experts
Dear Minister,
You are doing a good job. keep it up. Here in SOLWEZI we have ‘expatriates’ operating forklifts. Our own yoing men are roaming the streets while indians, europeans, chinese are the ones operating tractors,lorries etc. pleaese minister move in and scrutinise the current work permits.
ba minister please get to SOLWEZI. JUST MOUNT ROAD BLOCKS IN SOLWEZI AND YOU WILL SEE HOW MANY FAKE EXPARTS DOING JOBS WHICH ZAMBIANS ARE CAPABLE OF DOING.
Get these so called xpartriates are fake. Give us jobs. These people have taken our jobs.
This is the Platform sata won the elections. Zambians for zambian jobs first. Very clever move by current PF
TO ENSURE THEY STAY IN AND SPEND LOCALLY GIVE WORK PERMENT TO PEOPLE WHO MOVE IN WITH FAMILIES TO SETTLE AND CREATE VALUE NOT KAMWEENDO MUCHILA TYPE OF INVESTORS AND IN ONLY THOSE AREAS THAT SKILLINGS IS NOT AVAILABLE
ONE WAY TO DO IT IS THROUGH accreditation in institutions and qualifications authorities like EIZ,Qualifications authorities accreditations and marrying those to immigration before permits issued and ensure only skilled are employed as opposed to and permits given only in those technical areas Same in all fields No evaluation of qualifications no work permit and no worker with foreign to create externalities here
Someone ahould look at the Polpulation of Somalians in Ndola. They are almost outnumbering the citizens.
How do they come in.
Please please save us from Somali-land invasion.
great move minister. This is very common in neighbouring countries.botswana, south africa, a permit is is very difficult to get. forget the critic. i thank you for many. zambia has jobs
It’s easy to say “crack down”, meanwhile all the “facilitators” are still waiting to take “inducements” at Kent House since that is how they make money to feed their families… Action is believing
Ho.Mwila, please check on pharmaceutical companies. Indians have taken up jobs that can done by pharm Techs from Evelyn hone college.start with Lusaka
Abena Zambia muka bwalala sana. You can’t leave the cash box and he will still everything from you.
…on a second thot, let us the ordinary citizens support ZWD, its really making some of the (if not all) high profile guys always looking over their shoulders and sitting on pins…..hardly a day passes without some-one reacting to what ‘a certain online publication’….said/published….
