Dear Editor,
Plight of Casual workers
Should Zambian Casual workers take law into their hands? Has the Law and Zambia Police sided with the Foreigners? Are our law officers been given tondolo (bribe) not to let the law visit the wrong and protect the law abiding people or the weak of the society?
There are more questions than answers and I beg the Minister of Labour to see to it that some of these thugs we get in the name of investors be double checked. I remember one evening been at KK International and see what we call specialist arriving, with IDs of Primary Teachers, Bricklayers, etc. Don’t we have enough manpower in Zambia of teachers alike?
The PF Govt need to see that we are protected from these brutes who are ending their jail sentences in Africa. We are tired of them killing and assaulting our people.
By the way, what is it that we are gaining as Zambians by allowing these brutes in our Country! I call them brutes because a normal person with rationality cannot hurt a poor casual work in the manner we are seeing.
We shall not allow this mentality of letting these brutes go free handed. We shall if the GOvt is failing to protect us take law in our own hands. We shall not allow such mentality to continue happening. We shall not. We shall follow the law of self-defense and self-preservation.

You wonder, 50 years after independence, foreigners are still allowed to come and “enslave us” in our own country, all in the name of “attracting investors”. These so caaleed foreigners are beggers for our resources; that is why they “eascape from their homelands” because they are economic refugees. But here, we worship them like thy are gods, no wonder they take advantage, all because our system down here is focussed on protecting it’s own pipo. Go to another country and “do nonsense” and see how faster than quickly you will be made to pack yo bags!

We Zambians are very dwanzy,we are all talk and no action.No wonder these so called investors take advantage of us.We are just timid and cover that by saying we are humble and friendly.Atase,its pathetic behaviour and cowardness to say the least.

Let a tooth for a tooth work for investors especially these Chinese, just rise up and kill those who abuse you @ work. Being employed by then does not warrant their beatings. Kill one by one to teach them lesson.

I remember Denis Liwewe during his peak as a futball commentator once said, amidst futball commentary;
”This is Zambia Bwana. I mean I never designed it. It was designed by God Almight; u see the way it is shaped like the symbol 4love.
”In the morning u’ll read in the Post Newspaper that Comrade Ngondo and Hon. Sata are on each others neck, but in the evening u’ll be supprised to find them drinking Chibuku 2gether. Anyway, This Is Zambia Bwana!”
And he would continue with his futball commentary.

I said it once but I shall repeat it again for the last time.
Sata and PF are busy wining and dining. China is the biggest corruptor of African leaders. See How UKwa has started protecting them.
Let us be organised and Kill these Chinese. PF will Not save us. The Mailoni Brothers should NOT harm innocent Zambians, here is a JOB for them. These Chinese must be treated like the Sinazongwe miners did. We have been shot at, our young girls Raped by these Chinese. let us Kill them, God gave us Zambia and Chinese China. They were oppressed & conqured by japan so let us NOT make them a Superior beign.

THERE IS A PROVISION IN THE LAW WHERE THE POLICE CAN RE ARREST A SUSPECT EVEN IF THERE IS A SETTLEMENT OUT OF COURT PARTICULARLY IN A MATTER LIKE THIS ONE WHERE AN INSTRUMENT LIKE AN IRON BAR IS USED AND ACTUAL BODILY HARM IS OCASSIONED WHICH RESULTS IN PERMANENT DISFIGUREMENT.
I CHALLENGE THE POLICE TO DO THE RIGHT THING On THiS ONE.
I ALSO CHALLENGE ZAMBIANS WHO ARE BRUTALISED BY THEIR BOSES TO RESIST MONEY AND INSIST ON JUSTICE.
THIS INJURED YOUNG MAN WILL FINISH ALL THE MONEY HE WILL BE GIVEN BUT HE WILL BE RIDICULED AND CALLED ‘KAKUTWI’ FOR MANY YEARS TO COME!

I think our government has been bought with a few kwacha to turn a blind eye to what is happening to its people. The government should not think they shall be in power for ever, THEY SHALL BE BROUGHT TO BOOK FOR THEIR OPEN CORRUTION AND ABUSE OF OFFICE WHEN THEIR TERM IS OVER. In the meantime I think the Zambian people should rise up against the foreigners who come into our country to treat us like pigs for slaughter.ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

Who have watched SHAKA will remember his words.Late Peter Kalumba Chishala sung the song Church Elder.Where in one of the words he said TAMWISHIBE TATA ATI MULEPYA.Because the gentleman was smoking cigarette in an hastily manner and put into his pocket without knowing that the batt stick is still burning.
Close your eyes but not your mind of reflection.Always remember the profile of sins.We sold Christ by how much?Three pieces of silver and we denied Him three times.

I said it before and i will say it again. Sata and PF promised to sort out the Chinese and he was very consistent during his campaigns on the Chinese. Now what does he do when you vote for him, he forgets you and befriends the Chinese. Good for you who thought you were voting far a saint. Kill the Chinese and the same man and party you voted for will have you arrested for taking the law in your hands. Mind you, he now sees nothing wrong with the public order act. Change indeed!! You are yet to see more of king Cobra. Malibu yakuilombela…

The only solution is to form a NEW and EFFECTIVE VOLUNTEERS GROUP.
IT MUST EXIST IN ALL MAJOR TOWNS.
IT SHOULD HAVE THE MEANS TO BEAT ANY SILLY FORIEGHER ANYWHERE AND INSTANTLY.
IT SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY POLITICAL TIES.
WE HAVE TO BEAT THESE GUYS AND THEN THEY WILL KNOW THE IMMEDIATE CONSQUENCE OF THEIR SILLY ACTIONS.
THE GOVT MUST KNOW THE POWER OF THIS ORGANISATION IN VERY CLEAR TERMS.
