Two Chinese Collum Coal Mine Managers in Sinazongwe District, Southern Province – Zambia, were arrested on Tuesday for jumping bail.

This is a matter in which they are facing attempted murder, contrary to Section 215 CAP 87 of the Laws of Zambia.

The duo Xiao Li Shan 48 and Wu Jiu Hua 46 and their sureties Kennedy Simbayi 30, and Lewis Chiyumbe 45, was arrested following a bench warrant issued by Choma Magistrate Jacob Mbolela.

The Managers and their sureties were arrested at Choma Magistrate Court and immediately taken to Choma Central Police.

They were accompanied by their lawyers George Chisanga and Remmy Mainza and will appear in court on Wednesday.

The Choma Magistrate Court recently issued a bench warrant for the arrest of the accused Chinese Collum Coal Mine Managers and their sureties for failing to appear before the court for mention.

The matter is being prosecuted by State Prosecutor Evans Mbonge.

According to the particulars of the offence, Xiao Li Shan and Wu Jiu Hua on the 15th day of October 2010 in Sinazongwe, jointly and whilst acting together, unlawfully attempted to murder Bowas Siapwaya.

The duo is alleged to have unlawfully attempted to murder Boston Munakazela, Villason Mwanamusiya, Ward Sianaini, Wisbone Simutombo, Reuben Syakalumbwe, Alfred Senuka, Warren Muntanga, Abin Siameba, Brighton Siamfuno, Simon Siamine, Madinda Siamubotu, and Vincent Chenjela.

  1. You really have to struggle and push your brains to the limit to make sense of what LT are trying to report.Paragraph 2 doesnt make any sense.Olo nivamahala ba LT mwachilamo mweh

  2. They must be Jailed, no mercy. Whether the Choncholis are building stadias or not. These caught are criminal elements.

    NO parole. UPND the case happened in your stronghold. make sure there is no outside court arrangements.

  3. Atase……FTJ given all his ill gotten properties. Series of blocks of flats, the House Housing the South Africcan Embassy etc… Chiluba formed a company and registered it in Panama. Now countrymen Panama has one of the laxed rules to host companies and offshore accounts. They dont ask questions. ka FTJ registered a company in Panama to syphone cash.

    RB’s down fall will be heavily be caused by Chiluba…..RB Out 2011.

  4. I thought the case was over because these guys compensated the victims. The mistake the victims made was to accept the money from these Chinese fools. To tell you the truth, these chaps will never be arrested, Zambian laws only applies to the poor. If you have money you walk away free.

  5. if the police did a dna for the culprit then i can believe that the re arrested are the same.
    because i hear that chines are using thier chines prisoners to build our stadium in ndola .
    from this point i can suspect that the arrested chines may be the already prisoners exchanged

  6. @#12 hahaha wasenkesha, they just switched them hahaha!!!!!!

    Whats with RB having the little thief Chiluba’s back kanshi?? whats the deal here. The old man has gone all out to make sure Chiluba is out clean regardless, whats with RB kanshi, he is even playing around with the whole judicial system just to protect and award the little thief, awe sure mwe. I am one of those that believe Levy was the best thing to happen to state house but this is one humongous blunder he made, elevating RB to the throne.

    I thought these chinese were more clever than this, they still stuck around!!! They are *****s

  7. I recommed further training for LT journalists some article lack detail to make the reader have enough information over the subject matter before making a meaningful contribution

  8. This is a smoke screen for the stu.pid MMD guys. Dont forget that China recently pardoned a Zambian from nowhere. Wait and see.

  9. I agree with Kumawa they are just playing games dont forget that MMD suported these murderers when it happened watch and see the drama.

  10. Some bloggers were claiming that these Chinese managers had fled the country. What do you have to say now, ha????

    Lets try to argue with facts.

  11. Bafikala, lets be objective here. Now that they have been arrested you are criticising the givt. What pleases you animals kanshi? Discuss with facts. You claimed GK and RB sneaked them out and now you switch camps. You must be stupid in your heads. Bwamba

  12. Am so happy that these bloggers will tast the rooot of true Zambian laws. lets hope theyhave Stoggas as well.
    ehahahaha.

  13. “They were arressted at Choma magistrate court.” SO they had not run away at all or they gave themselves up. I wonder where the police were hunting for them all this time if they could be found at Choma magistrate court.

  14. Ba.ma.mba.la you must be stu.pid in your useless heads now for condemning people who were innocent (GK,RB) in the first place.

  15. It was shocking to hear that they were no protests from any NGOs, locals in the area and even from the miners at the Collum mine when these managers pulled a disappearing act. I would urge our people to be more patriotic and give credence particularly where our fellow citizens are endangered or least being mistreated. The fact that Zambians were shot at, for a pay dispute, should entail that maximum justice for our people so that it serves as a lesson to all future offenders particularly the (so called) investors.

    Imagine what would happen if a Zambian shot a Chinese person in China. I hope these people will truly get the justice they deserve as all foreigners will only respect us if we respect ourselves.

  16. Just to clear the air on four chinese vice premiers. Confusion arose between the vice premier who came to Zambia and the one who was in the UK. The hierrachy below will help. Cheers.

    President
    Hu Jintao

    Vice president
    Xi Jinping

    Premier
    Wen Jiabao

    Vice-Premiers:
    Li Keqiang
    Hui Liangyu
    Zhang Dejiang
    Wang Qishan

  17. Hehe the MMD thieves we know their plan on these chinese gun men. The china gun men the killers will go free …nothing will happen to them just coz a Zambian who was forced to trafick drugs has been released.

    Mark my words, the China gun killers are very free.

    NONSENSE.

  18. Proper laws know no color and the guys who broke the law of the land should dealt with accordingly.
    Lets not make political capital out of it.

  19. Ama chinamen aba released from chinese ‘prison’ to come and work in sleepy African states for nothing in the interest of fast-tracking chinese development to a world super power, and the chaps will be back in prison, again! Africa careful with these released ‘jailbirds’.

  20. The actual perpetrators have probably fled the country already. The arrested ones are probably choncholi look-alikes on death roll.
    And if this had happened to any of you here, nga kale mwakakwa ba mambala na ka sentence pa mulu.
    In the first place hos do you even grant bail for attempted murder???????

  21. # 24 True MMD Cadre today is a very very bad day for you to call RB and GK innocent people as we have just been informed of these two facilitating the greatest thief in Zambia KaChiluba to take possesion of the properties he bought from commissions corruptly made during privatisation and our symphoned tax money. RB and GK must think the Zambians are the most docile people to pull the stint they have with Kafupi. How much will he donate to RBs’ campaign? This is were we will restart from when we repossess our wealth from Chilubas’ children and grand children. Umulandu taubola!!!The Chinese arrested should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and it is not a favour to the shot miners, but they are entitled to justice.

  22. People, especially the MMD foolish supporters, must learn to be analytical and deductive. Look at the timing of their resurfacing, presence of the vice premier, obviously, they were hiding at a place which the Govt knew. They had to exhaust all diplomatic deals, and present us with a window dressing gesture of justice. Look at how they treated us on Chiluba’s cases? And now we are being insulted by returning back laundered money to Kafupi, making our efforts to recover stolen money a futile costly exercise. We have really been insulted as Zambians by the MMD Govt, now thieves have joined forces to discredit honest men and women. We are headed for doom………….

  23. Her Ladyship says:

    Its interesting that you want to deny the person who was cleared by our judicial system his things. Who is the judge in Zambia kanshi? I am left wondering now. Is it the court of public opinion of court of laws? Lets be clear on this one once and for all.

  24. These Chinamen are stupid. I would have thought they had jetted out of Zed by now.
    I do not envy them the remand conditions they are gonna have to endure. They should be deported, I believe Chinese jails are no better than Zedian ones, Ha ha he he.

  25. Imagine, attempted murder you get bail, suspicion of auto theft no bail… one law for investors another for the rest of us

  26. What kind of Laws does Zambia has. In America a foreigner committing such a heinous crime could have been put in jail and throw the keys away. Jumping bail! What the Fxxk is this? Cage this *****s foreeeever…!
