Police in Lusaka have summoned National Democratic Congress Consultant Chishimba Kambwili to appear for inquiries at Lusaka Central Police Station this afternoon.

According to a callout issued to Mr. Kambwili dated February 21st 2019 and signed by Deputy DCIO P. Sapaulu, Mr. Kambwili is to appear at the police station today at 14:00 hours.

Mr. Kambwili has come under attack from all sections of society for issuing racial and xenophobic remarks towards an Indian man whom he found operating a compactor.

Chief Government Spokesperson Dora Siliya recently said Roan Member of Parliament Chishimba Kambwili risks being arrested for uttering derogatory and racial remarks aimed at an Indian national seen in a video that has gone viral on social media.

Ms. Siliya says the Roan Law Maker went against the Law and that the Law should take its course on his actions.

She has told Journalists at a media briefing that the development should not only be condemned by all well-meaning Zambia but by the international community.

    • I now fully understand why China is having a field day colonising Africa inspite of the bitter history of being enslaved by Arabs and Europeans for a few bottles of rum, colonised and black Africa carrying the hallmark of being the most dehumised race in the world. A few months ago a video went viral on killing of a Zambian student in China for dating a Chinese girl but the response from govt was mute. Not even an investigation to determine the veracity of the video! CK’s berating of an Indian national out of frustration have ministers and govt agencies falling over each other to defend foreign interests over unemployed youth who the would rather use in political violence during by elections! Just last night on znbc news local mining and suppliers where crying foul on being…

    • I feel for Kambwili. He should have selected his words carefully. He should instead have asked questions like; which Zambian has ever been given a work permit to work as driver in any country? If non then how come Indians are given driving work permits .

      Foreigners in Zambia are paying Kapyongo huge sums money to buy Zambian work permits against the Zambian immigration rules. Imagine clerical officers and house assistants are buying Zambian work permits off Kapyongo.

      The issue is about Kapyongo making too much money out of selling Zambian passports regs and work permits.

      So Kambwili is trying to tell us what Chitotela hinted that Kapyongo is equally corrupt. He touched a Kapyongo s sensitive nerve.

      Kapyongo azachiona naye.

    • We are not talking about hh wife.

      Leave her alone.

      The reason we attack hh politically is because he is our politician and he put himself in a boxing ring.

      We dont hate hh we just criticize him

    • CONTINUED: completely left out of the minerals value chain. There has been no reaction from any minister (commerce, labour, mines, finance ) and yet this critical to the retention of forex, job creation, skills transfer on home soil. Alas the minister of finance unashamedly announced plans to send our youth in Arabian slavery as maids, drivers and nunnies! My foot! Did you see the video of a Ghanaian nunny beheaded by sword by het employer as state police looked on for not being there when an Arabian baby fall from stairs. What a country of *****s we are!

    • Its so sad how a country which was a bright light has gone to the DOGs. In which third world country can immigration give a work permit to a foreigner to be a driver?

      Lets a Zambian go to India and apply for a work permit has a driver….

      The question the country should be asking is how did immigration give an indian a work permit to be a driver?

    • Never seen such foolishness in Zambia. Mr. Kambwili’s utterances may have been offensive, but they were not racial. Telling someone to go back to their country is not being racist. What if he said that to a Malawian or a Zimbabwean, would it be racial? What he was pointing out is that Zambia is allowing people from other countries to come into the country to do simple jobs that Zambians can do. Go to India and tell them that you want to go there and operate a road compactor. Most likely they’ll not allow you. This is the problem with Africa. We’re always appeasing foreigners in Africa, over our fellow Africans. This is even the reason why African workers are mistreated by foreign employers, with no one to defend them. Because apparently African leaders value foreigners over their…

    • The Nubian Princess, you’re an id1ot. Are you an Indian? Are you even black? Go to India if you’re black and see how they welcome you. You’re the people more concerned about foreigners than your fellow Zambians. Zambia has a high unemployment rate. So why should you be allowing foreigners to take the simple jobs that native Zambians can do? Hello?

  1. The buffoon even told his bulldogs to film him and post on social media not knowing he is putting himself in problems. Freedom of speech should be done within tbe law.

  2. Kambwili should be reprimanded but not hauled to the police station. We have people in Zambia uttering hate speach and no action or comment from Siliya or the cops. Ok what Kambwili done was wrong but it does not deserve a call out. Let the police do some proper police work instead of being used like fish hooks to pull in useless cases. Has the Indian shouted at by Kambwili reported the matter to the police? if not then who has ?

    • Dictatorship, go to India, black are abused everyday, black women are raped every day yet no one is ever arrested because they think less of black people, you arrest some for telling a chap who was doing manual labour meant for Zambians….. PFoools are just morons

  3. When he verbally attacked a certain Zambian ethnic grouping his tribal segregation mission on the northern circuit of Zambia become one of the most heavily funded missions. That act was the same as racial segregation. He was not arrested despite Zambians complaining. He boasted of getting approval and funding from the president. What has changed?

  4. So without instructions from Government Kambwili would not have been summoned??……..Police wait for instructions? I thought the police are supposed to know which is an offence and which is not an offence?

  5. Kambwili used hate speech against Tongas and Tongas have not forgotten

    The only reason resident bloga $paka will support ck is because he believes ck mouth will bring down PF and hh will take over Zambia

    Ck was at labour. What he do about foreigners doing manual work

    Ck was at Youth and child development. What did he do about youth unemployment

    Ck was Informed and broadcastin. What did he do about Press freedom
    And access to information bill.

    He just clipped membes wings instead

    Can you believe what brother spaka posts.

  6. But ba zp please why do you want to wast time on things that don’t matter when we have so many corrupt elements in the name of minister yet you can’t take action. Leave kambwili alone. Iwe siliti make sure muzifake super glue where you are not mukachokepo otherwise muzakaona your time is coming

  7. Its a pity Kamwili does not know how to choose his words, I also condemn his language it was wrong and very sad coming from some who seeks to ascend to the highest office in the land, but his message was simple, Zambians have no jobs, so why use foreigners (If that Indian was truly a foreigner, because we have Zambian Indians). We can not allow a situation where we keep giving jobs to foreigners because we are sitting on a time bomb if we allow that. Even countries like the UK you have to find a British citizen first for any job vacancy and if you can not find one only then can you employ a foreigner.

  8. Comment:Please leave Kambwili alone. This issue has no significance at all. The state has too much on its hand already. Lets deal with issues of corruption first.

  9. Kambwili is right and deserves support by well meaning Zambians. South Africa has experienced Xenophobia because of too many foreigners who are not qualified entering the country and taking jobs of ordinary locals. Move in Europe is the same because every Jim and Jack went to Europe during the Syrian crises. These are reality and keeping quiet with what is happening in Zambia is simply burying your head in the sand. Dora is talking like that because she has to keep her job and keep eating. What of ordinary Zambians who cannot get jobs.

  10. Waste of time and space. Deal with the people that murdered a UNZA student. CK’s issue is very trivial and puerile. Police log book has a lot of issues which they need to sort out than wasting time on petty issues. Unless, you want to tell the nation that UNIP era of silencing critics has come. People are not supposed to be scared of talking because of being afraid of police summons. This is a democratic state not a police state. You have failed to trace Vesper’s killers and you go for issues that hold no water. It is an abuse of state resources. Even if CK is taken to court chances of prosecuting the case are very slim. The charges are very flimsy and lucks substance. Let us bring people who are brutalizing innocent citizens to book. Waste of energy.Can someone bring popcorns…

  11. Majority of Zambians have no jobs because most of these people who are aspiring for the high office are all crooks.Can someone educate me on this .HH proclaims himself very wealthy,how many companies has he got in Zambia and how many people has he employed compared to Dangote.They say charity begins at home.its time we started holding these cheap politicians to there word .The reason they hate Lungu is because he is from chawama and they think they are too big to be governed by him .Let them tell us how they turn around the economy other than having there cash stashed in Panama

  12. It’s normal for any tom,dick or harry to say such remarks.But from an MP to say
    Such comments it is not acceptable. If
    He has a problem he should complain
    To those employing that Indian.

  13. You guys just want to at least be heard as having said something. Yes the man was driving the compactor and beyond that we do not have any data to confirm he is officially the driver employed. Possibility could also be that he was seating in for the Zambian who was absent but the works needed to be done. I personally have driven pool cars when we have had a situation of not enough drivers employed as such. That did not reduce me to a mare driver. For a mentor I wouldn’t pick on Chishimba because I have never seen/ heard anything inspiring from him.

  14. Too much Politics in this issue. We need CK in Politics Please. Even Cadres are now coming in as Police. Don’t finish him, he is a Zambian Material Just Like the late President Sata was.
    My opinion is he was expressing something on behalf of the suffering youths though he did it out of frustration. So surprised even ba Musenge

    Some guy might have said, ‘Ba CK iseni mumone uyu musungu aleyensha chi Compactor kwati tatulimo ifwe’ kkkk

  15. This is just trying to silence CK because they have no answers for the millions of unemployed youth……

    If we had nationalistic and patriotic leaders who want a Zambia for zambians first, we would have very little unemployment …..but PF don’t care.

    They need the forigne workers because that is how they borrow money to steal…they turn a blind eye to lenders flooding Zambia with their unemployed..

    • Our laws 206 is specific. .using insulting or threatening language attracts a minimum 6 months imprisonment. Racial abuse falls into that category.

  16. And now I see. It’s not the leaders we should blame….it’s the dullness of most Zambians like Oval head. Even the name can tell. Am sure these same dunderheads blaming CK are even watching ZEE world because they can’t afford to pay Premium

    • How do you know what people are watching in their homes? If you can’t pay for dstv don’t think everyone else is failing. Dunder head.

  17. foolish hh too,how can you chi hh come all the way from somewhere and sell mining companies in zambia together with ka short former president ka chiluba and then you go and buy a lot of cattles in southern province if you are normal then you claim that you are so rich after stealing zambian money when you was the agent of fredric jacob titus kawalala chiluba ,what more if you chi hh become president of zambia today ?you can steal more money than you stole when you were just an agent to chiluba and this is how you became rich because of stealing too much.i am also going to investigate you when i become president foolish hh ukamona and i am just tricking you with fake friendship with you because we are all opposition leaders.

  18. foolish people how can you hh come to zambia all the way from america and sell the mining companies on the copperbelt together with former president chiluba when you were his agent if you care for zambian, you used the same money to buy a lot of cattle in southern province and now you claim that you are so rich after stealing and selling of mining companies,what more if you become president of zambia today you can steal more than that so i am going to change my mind and investigate you also when i become president of zambia and take back what belongs to zambia from you, remember the bible says give siza what belong to siza.

  19. it is true after selling some mining companies he went to buy cattle in southern province and now he claim that he is so rich, hh does not care for zambians, that is why reasonable zambians do not vote for hh until he says sorry for what he did to us zambia.

  20. hh and chiluba made zambia poor and they both became rich after stealing and selling of mining companies on the copperbelt, birds of the same feather flock together so if the former late president was a crook even his agent hh must be a crook also.
