Go for it people. i applaud you. Think of it. is anyone doing an account of how much copper is left in the ground? OK, china was going through heavy industrilisation and development, so its thirst for copper was ripe right. it stands to reasons, that we too will reach a day when we will need the same amount of copper to develop and industrialise as they have. But, we would have dug out all the copper. wont we look foolish when we start importing the same copper from their reserves which they bought from us at a cheap price, at a high price? think zambian think!!!!
Everybody, please go to YouTube and watch this video, and see what’s happening to our copper in Zambia. It’s absolutely shameful, and will make your blood boil. Here is the Title: Stealing Africa–Why Poverty?
THE WOMAN IN PICTURES 5, 8, 9 HAS HER PLACARD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN. I HOPE IT IS NOT A MATTER OF ILLITERACY BUT,….. WELL…DID NOT CHECK WHAT SHE WAS CARRYING. ANYWAY THE MESSAGE IS WELCOME.
Ok, for once Zambians have waken up from slumber…kudos…What you people need on 11 August is to take away that country from the hands of PF’s drunk Girafffe..
But which law stops zambians from owning mines
The law of local access to loans
We don’t even set the prices of our own minerals… the price of copper, gold, diamond…. is set by some white executive persons in down town London, Paris, New York City and Washington.
We (Africans) are f..u..c..ked up as a people. WHY can’t we have a united voice for the good of future generation.. Too much MUZUNGU ANIKONDE mentality in the very people we elect to serve our interests. Have you ever been in the presence of a Zambian (black African) minister talking to a white guy/lady… the way they lower themselves, awe mayo. How, I wish we (Africa) had 52+ UNCLE Bobs as presidents of African countries…
80 years+ of a white man telling stories, he is going save Africa, and what can we show for now? A very deepened inferior complexity… WHAT EVER THE WORD IS, FD- UP
Too well organised, orderly and properly written messages to be local….
What about placards appealing for environmentally friendly Mining ventures??????
