    • Teacher don’t teach me nonsense; Whites ‘DON’T’ steal – you’ve always portrayed crime and corruption as a Black man’s curse. Mwaona manje?

    • @word is bond these are zambian citizens ask every livingstonian we know these thieves why did they flee livingstone.
      they are likely to be out soon as they are pf cadres.

    • @shaa:
      Just answer the question! Are you mistaking Residency to Nationality? The Answer is YES you are! Like all other Kaponyas, you simply dont know the difference between the two!! So it is best to keep your ignorance than try to correct things you dont understand!
      It does matter if millions of dunderheads think they are Zambians simply because they have lived in Livingstone for a long time. The FACT in law remans that they are British nationals who are resident in Zambia.

    • I have they build any new prisons for white people in Zambia? there is no way a Zambian judge can face a British nation in face and say “… I sentence you to 10 years”.

    • @Chilyata you make me laugh man! I have always known that trying to get anything like a meaningful answer to a question from Zambians is like try to draw blood from a rock! This is a make belief society where nothing is anything and anything is nothing!

    • It appears the fact that LT has reported that a British couple were arrested has made some people make assumptions, please get some facts. Both Mr & Mrs Wright are of mixed race and NOT white (unless in Zambia being mixed race or ”colored” makes you white) Glens father was British but was resident in Zambia from as far back as the 60’s. Glens wife’s mother is a black zambian and her father was Caucasian not sure if British. Glen dropped out of school in the 80’s after being arrested over Rhino horns before he wrote grade 7. They both grew up in Livingstone. Glen went on to do very well for himself and at one time owned Eat Rite ”masaka” night club, Rite Inn, Ayoba night club, the Zambia brewery & coca cola agency and several properties. Unfortunately he over borrowed and…

    • He also once owned Armadillo restaurant which he also lost to debt. The reason some people are bringing politics into this is because during the the campaign of Livingstone MP Lawrence Evans, Mr. Wright put all his resources behind campaigning for MP Evans. The campaign strategy meetings and supporters drink ups were held at Armadillo Restaurant. For those with the usual gold fish memory capacity of most Zambians, you forget that it was on a Wright Trading Company truck that the PF cadre in Livingstone was murdered. I am not referring to the other one (who was Mwaliteta’s cook) but the one who was said to be murdered on a moving truck. He rellocated to Lusaka for new start but looks like its frying pan into the fire. Maybe the blood of the murdered cadre’s calling. Still such a sad…

  1. Those are just criminals and are not tolerated in the UK either.

    There are no politics involved in this.

  2. Close their pseudo business, confiscate their property and deport them. Period! The British authorities would do the same if it was a Zambian couple in the UK.

  3. Don’t let them waha you police and judges…
    Straight to jail and deport them next week, just exactly what they British authorities will do!

  4. Policy Where Client Data on Accounts is Being Kept and Managed

    Observe that there is violation in case of Barclays Stan chart and Stanbic including Eco Bank

    Its not right Its risk and any subduing mwemba issue of Barclays long acres replicated across in those countries is disastrous especially for Barclays ATM

    Imagine and Indian Keeping the entire data base of clients money in Zambia together with some …….and very heavily indebted

    Its write that is why there are selling client details to criminals these days

    Then with small girl friends given cards to access for use at Barclays bank and neco usually Small Pink lipstick Lusaka girls always on the ATMS

    The characters are always easy to identity and relate

  5. Develop trend analysis methodology to identify client behaviour trends within the money laundering framework.
    Develop and maintain transaction monitoring rules for suspicious transactions.
    Obtaining, cleaning, massaging, validating and generating of client data.
    Identifying and suggesting improvements to the data management and handling processes and implementing them where applicable.
    Driving the development of new tools to take advantage of rich data sets.
    Researching new methods to create predictive models.
    Building monitoring reports to ensure Regulatory requirements are met.
    Understanding and awareness of international best practice in respect of suspicious transaction monitoring.

    That should be for DEC or is it FIU to implement

    • @Domicile of Client Data:

      I didn’t think you are such an absolute Ar.se!! How could you write this nonsense

  6. Zambia n’s politics in everything very soon you will start asking for the political party someone belong to before you greet them . Thanks this rubbish is only on online by people who thinks they know it all when poor Zambia are trying to make ends meet GOD help Africans they don’t even know what it means to be educated you find educated people behaving like f00ls

  7. See, this is for all the inferiority complex individuals of the PF and UPND. Have I not taught you this before. Now you know bazungu steal too lol. Anyway this is a plus for Zambia’s ACC that their officers actually busted a ring of psychopaths in money laundering and racketeering. We applaud you galant patriots. Now if the weak Zambians still supporting this ilk like the three above; grow a pair.

    Viva Zambia. Only Jesus is our Lord.

    • These are not bazungu, Glen wright is a mu kalad habitual criminal from Livingstone. he was looked up while at secondary school for possession of rhino horns

  8. Brutish or ZAMBIAN this is a crime. Why politicise the issue. We had Winston wh cheated KK on chiawa oil and Levy s winter maize

  9. I dont think they stole from Zambian. White don’t steal from blacks. They just take their own as masters.

  10. Fry the duo.

    Fry the duo.

    Fry the duo.

    (what can I say? I’m a man of few words)

    ERROR: Your comment was too short. Please go back and try your comment again.

  11. Glen is Zambian. I know that chap from the early 70s when his father used to run Wright taxis and Livingstone Butchery at what is former Masaka. Glen just changed nationality and according to UK citizenry law, if Glen is in Zambia, he is considered Zambian but unless he was away from Zambia, in the event of an emergency, the British govt can help him out, not when he is in Zambia. By the way, Glen is a mixed race not white as you are assuming on this website.

  12. How dare you judge Glenn & Dheirdre Wright. These are upstanding Zambian BORN and Zambian RESIDENTS, and have lived all their lives in Zambia. Worked extremely hard, and never caused harm to anyone. Do not judge before you have your facts in order. To all those that left disgusting, and uninformed comments – you should be deeply ashamed of yourselves. Easy to speak ill of those that you truly have no knowledge of. Innocent until proven guilty.
