Kasaka- that coloured immigration man is not a chinaman but part black and white (check the eyes not slanted), time to realize that there are black and coloured people working in gov’t worldwide , ie UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Europe and many other countries, stop being so 1950ish.
    If your born in Zambia and one of your parents is Zambian then you are a Zambian citizen. thus you can work for the govt. so get a life.
