Ms. Katongo said the three Nationals namely Jiang Chunwa aged 79, Liu Guifen aged 68 and Liu Heling aged 39 infringed on copy right contrary to section 28 (1) of the copy right and performance rights of the Amended Act number 25 of 2010 chapter 406 the laws of Zambia.
The Police Spokesperson explained that facts are that the three Chinese nationals illegally used the industrial design 20 liter water bottles of Fairy Bottling Zambia Limited.
Ms. Katongo said that the accused have been released on police bond awaiting to appear in court.
The Police Spokesperson stated that investigations in the AquaSavana Trademark infringement are ongoing.
This is according to a statement issued to ZANIS in Lusaka today by Zambia Police Service Spokesperson Esther Katongo.
They will come out clean
There’s counterfeit for all the goods in Zambia now. Letting Chinese in is like voluntarily opening the door for thieves to come and rob your home
What’s FAKE water, is it parrafin or chibuku?
I know what fake woman looks like. Ok fake their pubic hair.
I don’t understand Zambian leadership. These guys are criminals. What Charges?? DEPORT THEM so that we send a strong message to other Chinese. These are NOT ZAMBIANS. If a Zambian did a similar thing in China he or she would be on the Next Plane.

These Chinese needs to be given heavy jail sentence and then departed. As an black African try to commit any crime in China and see what will happen to you. But we have a drunkard as a president so everything goes
*deported
Not only infringing the copy right but also fraud and theft. They should be locked up for years with hard labour and then deportation.
“Ms. Katongo said that the accused have been released on police bond awaiting to appear in court.”
They will just change names and buy another ID..
Iam a musician. I will be following this case with a lot of interest. The results will influence my decision to start a production company in Zed or Stay where iam
As for you “Chilli Bean” if you are Zambian and NOT PF the Police will not give you Police Bond to start with; then the Magistrate will follow it up by NOT giving you Bail. If you and your relatives manage to hire a Lawyer, s/he will be forced to apply for constitutional Bail at the High Court, whilst you continue to languish in Jail. When Bail is finally granted, the trial magistrate will be nowhere to be seen only to appear with a colossal K30,000 [UNREBASED Kwacha Thirty Million] Cash Bail terms to paid there and then or back in Jail.
Now once you found guilty the option of fine [reserved only for the supreior Chinese infestors] will elude you and a custodial sentence meted on you – out of circulation ONE VOTE AWAY FROM OPPOSITION
This word “fake” has really made journalists lazy….this is why we need to elect smart leaders I blame Trump for this one.
By the way has anybody asked the Chines their status in Zambia? Are they investors?
A SECOND CHARGE MUST BE SLAMMED ON THESE CHINESE: AND THAT IS “ENDANGERMENT”.
Endangerment is a type of crime involving conduct that is wrongful and reckless or wanton, and likely to produce death or grievous bodily harm to another person. There are several kinds of endangerment, each of which is a criminal act that can be prosecuted in a court.
PROSECUTORS MUST BE GUIDED BY COMPETENT LAWYERS WHEN DEALING WITH SUCH MATTERS. THIS WAS NOT TREATED AND WE COULD HAVE LOST A LOT OF LIVES TO CHOLERA – MAY BE SOME OF THE CHOLERA CASES CAME FROM THIS SAME WATER – PEOPLE WERE DRINKING BLINDLY THINKING THAT IT WAS TREATED MINERAL WATER.
When we tell you that certain businesses are better left to Zambians, in your corrupt minds you see investors in con men and fraudsters. Please stop issuing permits to those who are coming from China to just draw water and resell. Bushe ubu bupuba bukapwa lisa?Stupid *****s.
HH and HaGay must have been charged together with them.
In other countries, cases of this nature carry a mandatory Prison sentence, deportation after release and forfeiture of assets to government.
Zambians are denied police bond, ninshi beve aba they have more rights than ise bene baziko?
Dokowe: Ask the humble one.
We need to make an example of these 2 so their friends can stop with the counterfeit goods
The Chinese have already bribed the entire police and judiciary. The aquasavanna guy got to be careful, because they will turn on him and charge him for not registering his company name as a trademark. He will lose his businesses and the Chinese will be smiling all the way to state house for a banquet. ‘Anyone for dog tail soup or dog liver patte ?’ It is on the menu!
Chinese was asked if he knew who Jesus was: His give sample of cheesus, I make you another one eksactly. Chinese are experts at counterfeit.
What is FAKE bottled water?
Counterfeit is the right word .
