When unemployment is on the rise is what we should expect in the country.
Easy money is the game to catchup corrupt ministers and PF government officials.
How I wish investors would be spared and target these Mwankoles.
PF must go!
Any centre of economic activity in an isolated rural settlement is an easy and obvious target of criminals.
We have faith that our men and women in uniform will apprehend these savages. I wouldn’t be surprised if these are upnd cadres. As past behaviours have shown that they are inclined towards crime. Once caught please cage them and just whip
“…….Mechanical Engineer, Ru Yingguo aged 46 years…….”
Have we no mechanical engineers in Zambia. ?????
This is what is driving unemployment and desperation on part of Zambians, foreigners being allowed to take jobs Zambians can do
ASK BALLMAN LUSAMBO WILL TELL YOU.
KZ WHY DONT YOU TALK ABOUT ECL THE MONEY HE STOLE FROM A POOR WIDOW IN 2009 WHEN TALKING ABOUT PRIVATISATION?
So who is this Katanga? Is it a relative of Charity in the Copperbelt. As for PF Chinks they carry cash because they are paying labourers peanuts…they never learn.
WE KNOW THESE ARE HUNGRY UN EMPLOYED GUYS. THEY ARE LOOKING FOR FOOD.

Where is Sunday Chanday?
I have lost trust in our police officers and other investigators until they prove a point to the Zambian people that are above bribery, stand up for the poor and the rich. become fearless to any political interference and criminals and robbers. Failed to bring the people who killed Paul Tembo, Ronald Penza, Kaunda, Nkumbula, lawyer Ngenda etc to justice. 50 people have just been gased to death. Then. the young Ntewewes are excited about privatization which will not yield fruits.
