Engineer,

It is naive to even think that foreign investors are here to put the interests of Zambians before theirs. Similarly, Zambeef is in Nigeria and externalises it profits to Zambia! I don’t hear you complaining.

Investment is investment, whether foreign or local.

I can only liken Zambia to a family having mealie-meal, chacoal or stove, water,relish and cooking stick, but fail to prepare Nshima. What a shame!

Engineer,
Put up the $93 million dollar recapitalisation and I believe everyone will support you. What we need is investment, whether local or foreign.

I look forward to the time when the Zambian Government will trust and empower its own people. Zambia has continued to produce graduates in various desciplines every year, surely they can manage operations of some of these companies. Its time we realized that we can manage our own resources and utilize them to develop our own Country. We are one of the few Nations in the world with abundant natural resources yet we can not use them for our benefits. We just rely on outsiders to come and use us for their manpower requirements to assist the sole called investors to rape our our resources and then externalize the profits. The minerals like Gold, Selenium. Nickel…in the copper concentrates that the Investors export are not declared. Zambia has kept loosing billions of dollars and remains very poor. When there’s a slump in mineral prices on the world market, the sole called investors pull out. Whose interest do they serve?

Wake Up Zambia!!!!!

What a country! So much coal which we cant convert to money. We hope Maamba mine will be revived to what it was in the 70s and 80s. And where will the power station be- Maamba or Masuku Terminal?

Please zambians, see the type of leader you want to have in the name of sata see how he behaved on that international program, so thugerly for a leader,The PF leader, who stormed out of the programme twice and openly attacked co –guest Sharon Freeman, president and founder of All American Small Business Exporters Association for supporting Chinese investment, charged that China was engaged in modern slavery as it was out to **** Africa of its resources.
Please yes change is good, but change should make alot more sense, I would rather we stick to mmd at least they listern when pushed to the corner, I am PF but i was left with no good words for my leader in the manner he behaved on that international forum
thats what we need to review jobs
