  1. If they are not playing pirates of the Caribbeans, they are being their old age selves of being middle-men in SLAVE TRADING.

  2. NUBIAN PRINCESS above and any other enlightened Zambian please educate me on this one. Were the bringing these people to be hule-s in Zambia or Zambia and other stable southern African nations are now hubs to send our east African sisters to brothels around the world by their disgruntled men? This is very amusing to me and sad at the same time.

  3. These are some pirates who are using the proceeds of their gotten money to come to Zambia .Bwana home affairs minister screen these chaps thoroughly do not rush they are capable of been a very serious security threat to our country.Let them try to come to Australia a rich and stable country they will be scrutinized heavily indeed.Remember they come from a failed state,some might as well be terrorists themselves.

  4. Why Zambian pirates on the Zambezi? Leave those Somalians alone, they were not travelling to Zambia anyway, they going to better countries Namibia and Botswana.
