Lusaka Province Minister Bowman Lusambo has advised foreign businesses that closed today in Lusaka to open tomorrow.
Mr. Lusambo said government has put in place adequate measures to protect all South African businesses from being looted by Zambians who are aggrieved with xenophobic attacks in South Africa.
He assured that foreign investments are safe as adequate security personnel have been deployed to police the situation.
Mr Lusambo said government will not allow the destruction of property or disruption of businesses as it continues to monitor the situation in South Africa.
And Mr Lusambo says he had to intervene during this morning’s protests by the University of Zambia Students in order to avoid further protests.
He has assured Lusaka residents and the business community that calm has returned to the Capital City.
Mr Lusambo said in as much as the students needed to express their grievances, government does not support destruction of public or private property.
And Minister Lusambo has denounced the acts of xenophobia targeted at foreign nationals in South Africa.
Send the South African back to SA, Nigerians have asked south Africans to leave Nigerian within 7 days, why are you Lusambo keeping evil people in our country? It’s high time we started running our economy. Send them back to SA
The Southa African president is the one encouraging the attacks in that country. And here we are..
Zambia should ask HH to leave Zambia and go to South Africa. Why are they still letting him stay after bankrupting the country?
If Zambia Under 23 loose game today, then it’s because of UNZA students.
Zambians were supposed to be at National Heroes Stadium, not at fuuucking South African embassy.
South Africans wants to chase away foreigners who don’t contribute to their fiscus and Zambians wants to chase away their biggest contributors to their fiscus. Who’s smart between the two? My vote is with the uneducated SAns
Zambian government is so scared of chasing SAn business people as if they are the only ones who can do business with zambia
you are 100% correct. Money talks. China doesn’t do business in China but the take money out of Zambia
This is foolishness. South Africans are acting with ignorance and foolishness and you are saying Zambians should follow suit. This vindictive behavior is reserved for animals and not sound think logically complex people.
Be the solution and don’t stoop to South African evil behaviors we have seen for many decades.
Look at how our Zambian brother was stubbed in the head and this chap is saying let them. We don’t want South African Companies here in Zambia full stop. We are feeding South African through these companies and they are busy stubbing our people.
The problem with Zambia is that we are so scared of foreigners. When foreigners tell Lusambo and his colleagues that they are corrupt, the tell them to pack their bags. When want to chase foreigners who are stabbing our brothers ati leave. Very dull minister. It is in fact not your jo. That is the job of the home affairs minister. Anyway after all you call yourself Lusaka president.
Lusambo is being meek because he is among the privileged leadership that runs to SA for personal health attention and would not like to jeopardize the window of opportunity for the better medical facilities which if the cries of the common Zambian are acted upon would be closed to access!
This is the same silly rat who wanted the Chinese to build a town in Zambia for Chinese ……
You what I think of Lusambo, so better I keep quiet. But at least let me ask, what was the appointing authority thinking when he was appointing Lusambo and all those cadre ruffians who form two thirds of the cabinet? Same thinking as HH when he appointed GBM as running mate?
Having vented my disgust, now we can get back to the topic of xenophobia in South Africa.
Advise from the Minister Hon. Mr. Lusambo is fertile with political maturity of Zambian leaders. Long-term plans is for Zambia to develop its agricultural base to sustain food security nation-wide and thus offset BLACKMAIL by western economic interests; also develop viable industrial base in terms of agro-industries and manufacturing; and develop hydro-and solar-power generation projects, the excess of which can be sold to neighbouring states.
Hon. Lusambo’s intervention is wise and timely because Zambia is a civilized nation.
HH has business in South Africa should it be looted too?
Bane let’s face it.No country on this planet can survive on its own. The UK, for example despite being the no.5 economy in the world imports half of its food
And what can this Kaponya of a minister do about the situation? He doesnt even have the guts to issue a statement to condemn the Xenphobic attacks for fear of being fired by his scatter teeth boss!!!
This Kaponya of a Minister is proving far better than the educated in Lungus cabinet.
Zambia is a Christian national we will not let them go we keep them to change.
Bowman is proving to be a very good Minister, if Lungu is wise he will make him his running mate in 2021. I HATE PF with a passion, but people like Bowman are really likable, i think Bowman is maturing in politics.
