National Democratic Congress Consultant Chishimba Kambwili says there is nothing wrong with government listing ZAFFICO or any other company on the Lusaka Securities Exchange.

And Mr. Kambwili who said he is not aware that ZAFFICO has been sold says listing a company on the stock market is the only sure way of raising capital.

He says it will be wrong for anyone to reverse the listing of the company on the stock market describing such threats as retrogressive.

“That is absolutely retrogressive. there is nothing wrong with government listing any company on the stock market”, Mr. Kambwili said when he featured on the breakfast show on Hot FM.

Mr. Kambwili however said that government must ensure that the intererest of the local people is protected and not foreigners whether Chinese or South Africans when the Company is listed on the stock market.

And Mr. Kambwili said he is not clinging on to the PF but wants to prevent the creation of a by election which will be created once the seat is nullified.

“As long as the people of Roan Constituency do not ask me to leave, i will remain Member of Parliament and continue protecting the seat. No one can push me out of the PF as long as i dont want to leave, actually i have already left”, He said.

Meanwhile, Mr. Kambwili said he has no reason to work with President Edgar Lungu due to the rampant corruption going on in his government.

“Even when am offered the position of Vice President i can’t go back to PF unless PF comes to the NDC, i cant work with them”, He said.

  1. Everything else has rules in life but in politics there are no rules. If 5 corrupt leaders stood for election be assured that one of them will in office. CK is an example of a vision-less man and very dangerous who if given power even the devil would applaud him.

    • This is a man that got fired for corruption, from a pool of corrupt cabinet ministers.

      He is a true merchant of confusion.

      He is a true “muselela ukwakaba”.

      He is wrong about government intentions on ZAFFICO.

    • BUFFOON CK is as confused as his current status in the party … “No one can push me out of the PF as long as i dont want to leave, actually i have already left”

    • Chimbwili is such a disappointment. I had so much hope when he started speaking against PF corruption. Who in their rightful mind can support this rampage sale of government assets to the Chinese? Lord have mercy!

    • In 5 years time a Chink Logging billionaire will be laughing like this guy

    • In the first place they can’t tell us how much they need to raise from the listing, guess why it is because it is less than what has been raised from the sell of Mukula trees to the Chinese. Don’t kubeba indeed!

    • Turncoats TRIBALISTS support people who support them and turn around as soon as they see they Ha not supporting them! UPND is a TRIBAL H-ORGANISATION! No “Thief” can be a real member of this TONGA TRIBAL PARTY. That is why it is IMPOSSIBLE for CHILDISH to win an election in Zambia! “UPND IS FOR TONGAs, IF YOU ARE NOT A TONGA, YOU CAN”T BE A PRESIDENT of UPND,” Larry Mweetwa,

    • ASK CK, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ?
      He will be like ” I don’t know”.
      How could he possibly know what he is yapping about? That mouth is so illiterate, so disorganized. I hate time wasters who don’t seem to know whether they are going or coming. Coming or going, maybe both. I wanna see of you are popular in RC as you claim. There has to be elections.

    • These foools dont see the bigger picture…its this type of mindset that KCM Indian fooool Anil Agarwal took advantage of selling him a mine for $25million then make profits of $500million every year ..oh let’s sell the mine as we can create employment to the locals…selling the whole wheat farm to your neighbour as long as he gives your family employment on the farm and free bread every month for life.

    • Hahahah… you’ve cracked me up with laughter.. how about all our learned brothers and sisters out there stand up and get counted? How did we allow ourselves to get to this level? If we say we don’t want to get dirty, then we are handing control of state assets to the ill qualified! And there in lies a gigantic problem..

    • They are selling ZAFFICO so that the Chinese can have unfettered access to Mukula trees.

      Instead of selling the Chinese Mukula trees, we are selling them the whole forest.

      God help Zambia.

    • ZAFFICO has alot plans that need alot of money. you can access money thru many ways getting loans is one of the ways but its expensive. listing on the LUSE is a cheaper way. the question would be WONT CHINESE participate in the buying of listed shares. if they will, then we are in problems because they have the money and they would want to buy alot of them to have a big say in decision making. thi sis where the issue should be. but if they say only zambians and zambian institutions( such as napsa, madsion, banks etc) must buy, then it will be ok. in this scenario, i would support listing of ZAFFICO on the LUSE. It will work in favour of ZAFFICO to access cheaper capital and for zambians as a way of ownership and investment. EFYOYAKA KUNO KU BULAZI, NAYAAA PA CHANSA KU KWACHA, LATER.

  2. Kambwili is simply a clown.

    He insults Nsanda, then apologises.

    He insults Mumbi, then apologises.

    He insults Tonga people, then apologises blaming evil spirits.

    He insults Lungu, then apologises.

    This man is a pure flip-flopper.

    He has no integriity, no backbone, a fake, a wannabe.

    Everything he says, or does, does not hold any substance.

    On ZAFFICO, he is wrong!!!

  3. Mmd degazetted zaffico and polical cadres shared the land.

    Levy Mwanawasa stadium is on zaffico land including new airport to come is on zaffico forest.

    When pf came into power characters like Kambwili grabbed part of that zaffico land and built flats

    Politicians are wolves.

    Google Nicholo Machiavelli

    Am a non partisan political consultant.

  4. Chishimba Kambwili is behaving like a rat that has been captured in a tin and has no outlet , let him make noise ,its aloud , am sure he was not a noise maker when he was at school, now he misses that in his old age…go on my man no one will write you down as a noise maker , at least no captain or prefect will punish for that……..am going to rest ine mweee!!

  5. Chishimba Kambwili is behaving like a rat that has been captured in a tin and has no outlet , let him make noise ,its allowed , am sure he was not a noise maker when he was at school, now he misses that in his old age…go on my man no one will write you down as a noise maker , at least no captain or prefect will punish for that……..am going to rest ine mweee!!

  6. For a very long time the various opposition parties and individuals have been calling for the listing of parastatal companies including Zesco and even ZNBC. I am surprised that they have changed their stance when they wishes have been granted.

  7. Khakis this time around I’m irritated by innuendos and evil rhetoric that UPND is making. Wait in2021. They will be thrown in the dusty box for good.

    • You I get upset when people twist facts. I hired a taxi from Kitwe Shoprite to KMB and the taxi driver who from his accent I presumed was a Upnd member started tell me that the road repairs going on between KMB and town is for the 2021 elections. Since I didn’t see any logic in his argument I just let him waste his oxygen.

  8. Kambwili just wants any opportunity to campaign on PF ticket. Very silly indeed. Perfect example of desperate politicians.

  9. Kambwili is the same, yesterday, today and tomorrow. He helped Mwila to obtain a G12 certificate. But today he goes out and expose him to the public.

  10. Kambwili is right there is nothing wrong to list the compay provided that the Zambians buy shares.There only problem is to allow chinese or foreigners to buy shares period.
    I also mentioned that let us sell shares to Zambians

  11. Unless ZAFFICO’s listing valuation share price reflects mineral deposits and revenue from current mining activities on its land, the share price will be grossly undervalued. Anyone with knowledge of value of these assets existing that are not included in the valuation will mop up the shares on the Lusaka Stock Exchange and move to own these assets at a bargain at the expense of Zambian people. This will effectively be robbing the people. The listing of ZAFFICO should not go forward unless the mineral deposits value on the land and revenue from current mining activities on it are included in the listing valuation.

    • Where’s is that mine located ? If it’s where I think, the license to that mine was issued long before PF came into power and I’m sure that government had good intentions to award that license. Besides undoing what a previous government started is why we are where we are today because FTJ didn’t want anything to do with Unip and KK.

  12. If mineral deposits and current mining activity revenue is not included in the listing valuation of ZAFFICOs share price concerns about Chinese interests currently mining this land and that has knowledge of its mineral value wealth will buy up all the shares held from whom ever owns them on the exchange even if its Zambians at any price knowing that the price will still be grossly undervalued. This listing must not proceed unless this is rectified.

  13. Up to 7 ministers in the UK government resigned in opposition to Brexit. The Prime Minister is appointing new MPs to these vacated portfolios. There might be a vote of no confidence in her. So far, no MP, or Minister, has been expelled from the Conservative Party; and neither is there any injunction against a pending expulsion. My friend told me to take note of this. I thought I should share… meantime what is happening pa Zed is just a waste of space.

    • Like wise if an opposition party loses an election the leader of that party takes full responsibility and resigns, but what happens here is a waste of space.

  14. like it or not ck is not like hh who just speak out of hate and bitterness for power Noand on this point were is hh put on the issue of zaffico i forsee the law will work well on him ndainka

  15. By now it should have raining. But do you know why it is not raining? just like zaffico will be listed on Luse, that’s how the rains have been listed on Luse

  16. Mr. Kambwili who said listing a company on the stock market is the only sure way of raising capital. Why should PF raise this capital, for what? . As far as we are concerned ZAFFICO is a sound company .

  17. Comment: When a company on the security exchange, it is open to all regardless of ones origin. People are free to buy the shares. The only problem we face is ” saving/ investment “. We need to do more in the area of saving and investment…. Listing of a company is the surest way to raise cheap capital for recapitalization of a company.

  18. Imwe ba PF, leave ZAFFICO the way it is. Why is it hard that we cannot have a company wholly owned by Zambians? Get ZAMBIAN companies to buy the shares and raise the capital you are screaming about!!!
    Even developed countries protect their national interests and sovereignty. That is what people are talking about. You cannot be selling everything in the name of FDI. People are talking about companies that are wholly owned by Zambians.
    Maybe tell us of some companies that our local people have also bought shares in foreign countries. Why should it be just one way? Wake up guys. You will cry when your time comes!!!

  19. Is Akainde a qualified Economist or just used leakage to get the degree? What comes out of his mouth is really baffling to say the least.
