President Lungu Calls For Calm Over SA Xenophobia
President Lungu has urged Zambians to tone down on demonstrations against xenophobic attacks in South Africa because he is handling the issue at the highest level.
The President told Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC) shortly before departure for Mpika yesterday that he is handling the matter.
“We are all concerned as Africans. Zambians are upset because they did a lot for the liberation of South Africa, particularly through the ANC. And I think we should sit down and reflect seriously,” President Lungu said.
Some Zambians have been planning to march in protest and to boycott South African products and services.
He said there should be something wrong somewhere in South Africa.
“When you talk about ‘One Zambia, One Nation, it is oneness. I think something has seriously gone wrong with the psyche of the South Africans who are behind all this,” President Lungu said.
He said Zambians must not get involved because there is sufficient leadership in South Africa to deal with the issue.
And President Lungu said he will not be distracted by his critics during the short period he has been in power.
“For me it is ‘sela tubombeko’ [give us way so that we work]” President Lungu said.

Lungu please address the root cause. Why can’t you for once man up and lead? Why can’t u accept that poor economic management by your party is reason thousands of zambians are in country where they are not wanted? Why can’t u come up with economic plans as solutions to such issues? Oh i forgot you are visionless and need south Africa for your medical tourism

Iwe do not be a fool for once in your life. You are the few with parents born in South Africa which frankly doesn’t make u any better than other zambians. The fact is majority of zambians are there as economic migrants due to pf and previous zambia government mediocre. Even when one makes it in Zambia the pf victimise him for having different views hence gbm tryin to move his business to south Africa. Pf hates it’soown people

Where you born in 2011 when pf came in power or you are just telling us how childish you are? Are you saying people started migrating to SA in 2011. Sometimes when you have nothing sensible to post just read other people’s comments and stay away.

now you know the truth about what’s happening to foreign blacks in SA. Spread the NEWS so that people are aware of the gruesome murders commited by black Africans on their ‘cousins’ from the rest of Africa.
S Africans savages are worse than animals because animals only kill to eat.

There is too much political immaturity in Zambia going by what kind of people we have around this makes its easier for some to invest across the border. My family investments in SA doesn’t make us stupid it’s a free market out there just like one can invest in Kaputa or Choma. I still repeat even if we bring in UPND in Govt people will still travel and live outside Zambia acting all panacea like one person has all answers is being silly and naive. Let’s just address the Xenophobia at hand.

Kiki stay strong. Your later president sat in cabinet meetings that decided on wide scale privatisation of companies zambia was failing to manage. Hakainde was employed privately and worked under the direction of zambian government policy. Stupid fool
