Mrs. Wina said foreign direct Investment is essential to any nation’s empowerment.

    • There’s a certain UPND bum cadre by the name of Gay Jay who calls our Chinese friends ‘Chinks’.

      How would this grasshopper feel if we called his clansmen all sorts of names? Gay Jay grow up. You are Clayson Hamasaka hiding behind a keyboard

    • HH? No he isn’t the one behind this. HH loves Chinese people. He will work with them once elected into office.
      Who may be behind this then? I wonder

    • A Chinese man shot a Zambian girl in Kitwe, there was some rioting and looting, the Chinese man was defended by THEM to the point of releasing a CCTV footage within the shortest possible time. What has happened to that girl and was Chinese man entitled to carry that gun legally. Its little things like that we sweep under the carpet that later on boil up. The most important thing is for Chinese to respect the the owners of the country.

    • Come on PF stop this nonsense of blaming HH for everything. It’s your poor policies that have aggravated people.

    • Stop hallucinating names of men you think is your father Mr Bonehead you will tire yourself down …I have had it with small brains like you!!

    • STOP using word xenophobia. You don’t know it’s meaning.
      Sata, yes the late Sata won elections over the Chinese. Sata was friend of Taiwan.
      Today I feel like insulting Bo Inonge.

    • HH is a waste and his TRIBAL H-ORGANISATION. We have been saying here that it is politically motivated because we have known this all along but INCOMPOS keep on saying it is not. TRIBALISM is a cousin to RACISM and UPND has them both.

    • This old lady doesn’t really know what she’s talking about. The Chinese selling maize and Chickens on the side of the road, and the ones setting up small shops in the compounds are not really “investors.” Zambians don’t mind the Chinese coming into the country. But they have to be BIG INVESTORS, and not broke people coming into the country to try and illegally scrape a living. So go to China and try and start selling roasted maize and chickens on the street. When you’re confronted by Chinese authorities claim that you’re an investor. Let’s see where that gets you to.

    • This lady doesn’t really know what she’s talking about. The Chinese nationals coming into the country to sell roasted maize and chickens on the side of the road, and the ones setting up small shops in the compounds, are not serious investors. Zambians don’t mind Chinese investors coming into the country. But they have to be BIG INVESTORS, and not small time people just coming into the country to scrape a living. Go to China and start selling maize and chickens on the side of road. When the Chinese authorities confront you, tell them that you’re a Zambian investor. Let’s see where that gets you.

  1. Xenophobia should not be tolerated under any circumstances especially given that Zambia has a reputation of peace and hospitality. That said, the Chinese are exacerbating this situation themselves with their RACIST and superior attitudes towards Zambian citizens which in itself is intolerable. Both sides are culpable and leaders on both teams should come up with an amicable solution to enhance Chinese business while respecting/protecting the human rights of indigenous Zambians.

    It’s nothing political but everything to do with RESPECTING one another whether Chinese or Zambian!

    • You are right Solye. Our Chinese friends should stop wiping their pistols in public otherwise they will continue to accidentally discharge fire arms.

    • Obviously corrupt Lungu and his PF have been bought and paid for by the Chinese. So we’re not surprised by this statement from this lady. The Zambians are now made to be the villains—and Lungu and his buddies have vowed to look out for the Chinese interests, and not that of the Zambians’. We need to vote Lungu and PF out in 2021, and let patriotic Zambians take over, who will care about the interests of Zambians and not foreigners. Otherwise, we’re doomed as a nation.

  2. I am not affiliated to any political party because all politicians are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Out looking for their own interests. When you bring in foreign nationals to occupy even the most menial jobs, it does not matter what nationality they are. They could be martians for all Zambians care. They are taking food from our children’s mouths. All a Zambian wants is to be able to work, earn a decent living, pay his taxes and look after his family.

  3. blind folded by the UPND leader to his gullible minions in believing Chinese have been buying Zambian owned assets, at the very time HH is writing letters to the Chinese embassy assuring them that once UPND forms government, he shall tighten the relationships more. upnd damb damber dambest

    I’m breaker I’m transcendent and I approve this message

  4. Don’t just sell ZAFFICO through Lusaka stock exchange .

    The shares are not for foreigners but Zambians.You can sell Zambia thtrough lusaka stock exchange .Let us just allow zambians to buy shares.

  5. HH is playing with fire and soon he will be in big trouble!!
    The kind of politics being practiced by HH is very evil.First he introduced TRIBALISM into our politics now Kainde has gone further by promoting politics against FOREIGNERS especially the Chinese!!!These Chinese investors have pumped into Zambia millions of dollars and employ several Zambians.Yes some few Chinese maybe bad just like we have few bad Zambians.However,majority Chinese are very good people!!!HH’S MIND IS CORRUPTED WITH PRIVATIZATION AS HE THINKS WHAT HE DID WITH FTJ CHILUBA BY SELLING GOVNT ASSETS IS WHAT PF GOVNT IS DOING NOW-SHOCKING!!!
    Govnt should cage HH now before he destroys Zambia because his desperation for state house is now getting out of hand!!!

  6. Chinese are becoming an invasive species.
    Bo ma inonge which side are you.You think acts of a Chinese bosses shooting a worker,ill treatment of workers, selling salaula,live chickens, tomato and other things that the unemployed zambian can easily do and earn a leaving can make zambians happy.
    Check your facts, what we need is Chinese investment not investation.

  7. Mama Wina, not amused with your sentiments, you and your like have turned a blind eye to surf Zambians but protect the Chinese with everything you have

    • The Chinese are protected like they are an endangered species, not even elephants and the poor rhino is protected in this manner.

  8. What do you expect Zambians? When the Chinese assault or kill you, don’t even report that to police because those yellow fellows are immune to prosecution under PF!
    On the other hand, you as a Zambian don’t even dare to say any negative against Chinese wrongs. The state will cage you. This is what it means to live in Chanbia!
    Your PF leaders have abrogated their oath to uphold the constitution and to protect citizens against unfair foreign mistreatment! The PF group is on China payroll and they will do anything to protect the finger that feeds them! Don’t we have the right as citizens to ask questions? Is this the end of the road for Zambia?

  9. HH knows the tricks of the trading he did during privatisation, this is why he failed to answer the question asked by Hope! His scared it will disclose all his corrupt practices he made, Bemba’s say imilandu taibola and the other says uwamilandu tabula kuibala. Epo mpelele ifyashala lundenipo…!

    • @11 the quicker u adjust your thinking, the better saved your relatives will be.. we know HH advised the people in charge of privatisation.. he did not sunction the sale so stop this stupid tirade of nonsense.. we are dealing with serious issues affecting us all..

  10. The Chinese have colonised the PF administration that they must be given land to bury their dead with consultation with the Soli Chieftaincy in Chongwe on whose land you want to bury foreigners. The spirits of the Soli ancestry will turn in their graves!! Nkomeshya should not give in to this abomination. Now they must use their language in our newspapers, where is our sovereignty that you should give away our heritage wily – nily? These thieves are not patriotic at all!

  11. The Chinese are the most racist people you can ever meet on this face of the earth, have been to China on a number of occasions and the way they treat black people is unbelievable.

  12. Ms Wina surely thinks the Chinese are saints. Look at her in that photo she thinks those Chinese like and respect black people when in fact they think very low and negatively of Africans.

  13. WINA YOU A VERY HIGHLY COMPROMISED LADY……… YOU CHEATED THE LOZI TOGETHER WITH YOUR HUSBAND, BROTHER IN LAW AND SISTER IN MARRIAGE…….. LOZIS HATE YOU AND JUST TREAT YOU AS A PRINCESS…. SORRY TO SAY THIS BUT IT IS THE TRUTH………..TODAY YOU STAND FOR THE CHINESE AND YET YOU HAVE STATED YOUR POSITION ON BAROTSELAND AGREEMENT……..LOZIS WANT THE AGREEMENT RESPECTED .. WHAT DO YOU WANT YOURSELF? SPEAK FOR THEM AND DONT SPEAK FOR CHINA. LOZI SPEAK LOZI AND ENGLISH . DO YOU SPEAK CHINESE(MANDARIN)……….. YOU ARE OLD AND YOU HAD ENOUGH OF LOOT FROM HUSBAND’S MISDEED, BETTER KEEP QUIET

  14. In a matter of 8 years the Chinks are now a tribe or seperate community in our nation …just image in 10 years time if this carries on not even the Pakistanis or Indians who have been with us since independence have got to the Political elite…Africans wake up you will be slaves in your own country!!

  15. PF IS WORSE THAN UPND… BECAUSE THEY STEAL OUR TAXPAYERS MONEY……. I HATE A THIEF BECAUSE WHEN HE DOES NOT PAY TAXES AND STEAL HE IS WORSE THAN A D.EVIL……..HE WHO STEAL IS AN AGENT OF THE D.EVIL AND NEED TO BE BOOTED OUT OF PUBLIC OFFICE……… THE BIBLE CONDEMNED THIEVES AND ROBBERS….. A LEADER WHO STEAL IS NOT WORTH RESPECTING……………… even an accomplice….if chinese are accomplice in theft then we dont need them in zambia

  16. Mama Wina with all due respect, you live in a very nice house with all the trapping that come with being the Veep. Zambians do not hate Chinese human beings, in fact, history will show we are a very tolerant people, but when Chinese nationals can come to this country and take jobs that Zambians can do like driving, security and other low level jobs then Zambians will start hating them. It is politicians like you that are creating a very hostile environment where chinese national can walk out of a meeting with a labour commissioner at will. How long will it before Chinese human beings start slapping Zambians.
    Mama Wina please create a fair playing field where only Chinese with expertise needed are given work permits, Tanzania has done it and so can we.

    • Agreed.. you raise some good points..
      On the other hand, how can the Vice President come up with a simplistic response to serious situations happening on the ground? Could she not start by apologising to our people for governments failure to create a level playing field?? We the Zambian people will build Zambia not anyone else.. let’s love one another and work together as opposed to self loathing!!

  17. These theives were even about to bring Chinese policemen to be harassing and arresting Zambians , the other bone head lusambo comes back from China and proposes a Chinese city in Zambia…

    Don’t be cheated, PF are desperate for money and will sell anything

  18. Who campaigned against Chinese in the first place? When RB was president, PF campaigned that they will get rid of the Chinese once in power. Have they? So did they started xenophobia as a political game? Who is telling who here? History has a tendency of repeating itself unless one learns from it. So people.. the person that threw the first seed of Chinese xenophobia was the late King Cobra (MHSRIP). Let’s be truthful

    • Let us get it right the Chinese have theri own agenda, but they are still a better partner than the west who have done nothing but take so much from uth with out investin infrustructure.

  20. what is certainly politically motivated is Mrs Wina stupidity and senility. This useless soon to be ancestor has no shame.

  21. bo inonge, where are your comments when a zambian is shot at by the Chinese? How can you be a leader and worse off a mother that you will side with strangers that are harming your own children all for the sake of money. Mama Wina we are not pleased at the priority treatment given to the Chinese at the expense of foreigners for 30 pieces of silver. Your party wants to lock up HH for the errors they are making. We see the Chinese in Zesco vehicles, we see them in ZAF vehicles surely mama Wina can you people turn around and accuse HH of lying in the going on of the country/ iS OUR SECURITY NOT COMPROMISED WITH THE cHINESE GETTING INTO OUR SECURITY WINGS ZNBC ZESCO ETC? NO SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH YOUR ADMINISTRATION MADAME.
