CHINESE INVESTMENT : NFCA Workers Strike Again After ‘Dummy’ Pay Rise
Zambian miners at Chinese- owned NFC Africa Mining wen on strike again on Tuesday after the company refused to raise their wages by nearly 100 percent as agreed last week, the National Union of Mine and Allied Workers said.
“The workers have again gone on strike. They were promised a pay rise of 2 million Zambian kwacha ($400) per month, which they have not been given,” the union president Mundia Sikufele told Reuters.
About 2,000 workers at NFC Africa Mining, majority-owned by China Nonferrous Metals Mining Corporation, first went on a strike earlier this month demanding higher wages.
Sikufele said the workers called off the strike earlier this month after the government asked the management to give them a 2 million kwacha pay rise on Oct. 10.
“But the government, which proposed the 2 million kwacha is now saying the right procedure is for the workers to allow the union to negotiate with the management,” Sikufele said.
Long-time opposition leader Michael Sata won election in the southern African country on Sept. 20 on a populist platform that included criticism of foreign investors and promises to improve the lives of workers.
In his first official meeting as president, Sata saw Chinese ambassador Zhou Yuxiao in an effort to dispel fears his sometimes fierce anti-Chinese rhetoric while in opposition would translate into a shift in investment policy.
He also made clear that Chinese companies, which have ploughed more than $2 billion into developing the mining sector, would not get preferential treatment. ($1 = 5005.000 Zambian Kwachas)

If you think having an ipad is an achievement then it shows how shallow minded you are. Dont think we are impressed by your 150,000 Pounds a year. There are many who make much more but dont see the need to brag about it. try to be more mature and to put your points across in a more civilised manner. living abroad is not an achievement in itself. You have just exposed your lack of character and ignorance with your small minded comments.

What does this term mbolo mean kansi?
I we rubbish were you pushed into this world by a man or a dog?
I ask so because if you were born of a woman, then you insult your mother more than anyone else. You were not worth the gestation. You were onoly worth an abortion in the first trimester. Infact you shud not have implanted on a woman’s woumb. Sham on the woumb that carried you all those months

I yeee …! Please don’t mind this character whose name I can’t even pronounce. Ask me, I know him, the man is a casual earning something close to just 1,500 pounds a month. The rest is just a figment of his imagination … muziba cabe kuti inferiority complex imaleta keeping up appearances. Believe me you don’t want to meet him, kuti mwa mulilila nako. For now I will hold on to the info about where he lives. Cheers guys!

Mbolo,or what ever you call yourself, please you must have respect for the zambians that have done nothing wrong to you, insulting a black zambian women, u re just insulting ur mother, unless u re chiness or some other race.One day you remember your home soil my friend.Bragging about a blonde,french wine or pay etc, is nothing special about it.If you re educated then where is ur education? Living abroad or UK what ever is not living in heaven.Grow up and be a real man!!

This is inferiority complex at its waste. I guess the guy mbolo wishes he was white. He obviously curses himself everytime he realises that he is black and was born of a black woman. What an excuse of a life. bloggers, this man needs our sympathy, not our wrath.

Lets act like civilised people & stop insults. It makes all Zambians look bad.
b4 we crucify the Chinese we should ourselves improve the living standards for our own civil servants. The Chinese are paying more than the legally set minimum wage. We should instead appeal to the yellow men for the sake of morality to improve conditions.
