    • These Asians do not have nationality, in kenya when they arrested some asians sex workers they categorically stated their nationality, here they are so protected like ,such that some jerabos even protest on their behalf, even the oldest trade is not spared, ba zobuligo have competition from Asia, naizanda pa zed.

    • No Chinese illegal arrested. After those 30 were arrested & relesed, Chinese illegals now above the law.
      They come on investors permits, next day you find him selling salaula on the street.

      Our porous immigration is the biggest threat to our country.

    • Pa Z foreigners are free. Immigration are a joke, foreigners from neighbouring countries are full in Lusaka & all people complain about is the illegal Chinese. Congolese & Zim’s are freely getting Reg

    • Nostradamus even Chinese are Asians.. Are Egyptians Arabs or Africans ? They are African as they are on the African continent Are Chinese not in Asia

    • 1.2 What race are Chinese. The report simply says Asian and they could be Chinese, Koreans, Indians. ..we don’t know.

  1. Please release those commercial workers because their customers you will find are in high government positions, do not step on the wrong toes.

  2. Silly comments from silly people.What benefit do you get from an Asian prositute whether Chinese or Indian?It shows how lowly and inferior some people can grade themselves. Nothing of value to talk about.

  3. Zambia to some foreigners is more like that land which God promised the Israelites. the land of plenty, the land flowing with honey and milk. You cant suffer in the land of plenty .You just have to open your eyes and you will see opportunities everywhere

  4. Is this a sign that Immigration has waken up and started doing their work? Where, how and when still remains a secret as to entry into the country. Are the immigration drawing any lessons from these send offs because the number is big.

    • Unlike the immigration officers in the Western countries, African officers are corrupt to the core. We want to live what we believe like whites by any means.
