Minister of Foreign Affairs and Tourism Given Lubinda has said more Israel investors will now consider Zambia as a favorable investment destination in Africa with support that country’s government.

This has come as a result of the Israel government through the Israel foreign trade risk insurance corporation’s zeal to support investors with investments in different sectors in the Zambian economy.

The Israel foreign trade risk insurance corporation is a government owned insurance company that provides insurance to Israel investors and exporters working in the international market.

Mr. Lubinda noted that the ministry of foreign affairs and tourism,through the honorary consul of the republic of Zambia to the state of Israel, Ronit Hershkovitz will continue to promote Zambia as a preferred destination for Israel foreign investment and tourism.

Mr. Lubinda said that Zambia as one of the destinations for insurance coverage will allow greater confidence and participation of Israel investors in the growing economy of Zambia.

He said that currently, Israel investors in Zambia are involved in the development of various sectors of the economy including infrastructure development, information communication technology, education and agriculture.

He said that Zambia and Israel have enjoyed a warm and lasting relationship dating back to the 1960s and added that Israel investors have always been a part of the development of the Zambian economy.

Mr Lubinda said that Zambia has the potential for investment due to the favorable investment climate and incentives with natural resources.

He has since urged Israel investors to come and invest in Zambia.

  1. ISRAEL MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO INVEST IN ZAMBIA BECAUSE THEIR MONEY HAS PALESTANIAN BLOOD ON IT.THEY ARE ZIONIST WHO HAS INVADED ARAB LAND,THEY MUST BE KEPT OUT FROM ALL PARTS OF AFRICA AS AFRICA DOES NOT NEED ZIONIST INVADERS

    • to reject the chosen peaple of God by promises to abraham,isaac and jecob is a serious mistake and luck of knowledge of the Word of God, please accept the truth the ways and the life so that you know the truth, God bless you as you dicover the truth

  2. Please Given:
    Expedite the needful, we need the Israelis back quickly because when they ended up at logger heads with KK, they up-ed and left with all their architectural designs for UNZA Great East Road Campus. Since then, no one had been able to re-engineer those drawings to complete the campus completely as it was initially designed. More over, they will really help the people in Western Province since they were the first nation to develop best agricultural practices in semi-arid areas. We need development in that area quickly starting with agriculture, we can then move into electronics, diamond mining and other later not forgetting oil and gas. The Israelis are also the best cutters of precious metals in the work, they can set up shop among the smart people of the Zambian Enterprise

    • Are those people reading and hell bent on secession reading what you are saying. You need to continue educating everyone, especially the lozis. MIG 21 since they fly at supersonic speed  flew over, and some *****s who do even understand the plane’s speed, complained because they thought they were invaded.

      Israel (Jacob) has withstood the test of time around his grand siblings “Joseph and his 12 brothers.”.

    • Kosher as per usual, I say let them in … for your information during the Independence struggles, we had a considerable number of Jews in Zambia that fought along side ANC to help us attain independence. Great examples are people like the Zaloumis who actually were part of the First Administration and contributed a lot to our national development.

    • THE HOPE THAT FOREIGNERS WILL BUILD YOUR COUNTRY FOR YOU, WHILST YOU ARE LAIN ON YOUR BACKSIDE – IS A PIE IN THE SKY!!!!! THAT they left tells you one thing – if you can’t learn from that, might as well re-introduce Tujililjili!!!

    • Please tell me one nation that was not built by foreigners, wherever you are you are a foreigner in that country busy building that country, America was built by foreigners, foreign capital built it, South Africa was built by foreigners, England was built by foreigners, Singapore was built by foreigners, Hong Kong was built by foreigners with foreign capital … a lot of countries were built foreigners, it is not time to be myopic. Zambia’s biggest export is not copper as you may be made to believe. Zambia’s biggest export is the human capital, highly trained individuals reside outside the nation building other nations including yourself.

    • Ba Brainwave, You ain’t gonna win when it comes to people that have already made up their minds and agreed to differ with you however your status quo.

      Brainwave, ubu ubwinanama would, will  try and push you even when you have no reason to argue with them. Ukufwayafye utuke ubuteko na Sata bcoz that’s what they want.
      .

    • Ukulondolola mwana wesu, you aint gonna win ne fi ifitotoli ifyapata ichishinka, for the truth hurts.

  4. Hahahaha look at what they have done to Railway Systems former Zambia Railways…

  5. The Engineer (Australia)

    The Israelis are very hard people to work with (emotional they are) but once they feel at home, they will go to bat for you like crazy and they are a treasure trove and could be very loyal compatriots, an average Israeli is a very educated and smart individual as well … they can easily figure out things out of nothing. I have one of my offices in the Middle East and I know what I am talking about. If they did a bad job, go back and check how they were treated and then make your own deductions from there … later every one.

  6. Nubian Princess:

    Shu shu shu or Knesset? You cranked me up, I work for myself. I have my own businesses … have a blessed good day

  7. Does any one know what happened to the Israeli bank governor who was born in Zambia who was or is supposed to be the new bank of Zambia governor? What happened to that plan?

    And Abdul #1, keep your crap up your arse where it belongs.

  8. Are u related to Pastor Doctor Nevers mumba or u are mumba from chipata??? Israelists cannot come to zambia, check this space Lubinda just has to say something , he has taken long. What about the picture with maureen any relationship with the israel story??

  9. an african nation investing in another african nation? shame, when will zambia invest in another country?

  10. I think our relationship and interaction precedes the post WW2 creation of Israel but I’ll run with the less complicated version… The more the merrier.

  11. As long as politics not mixed with religion and all investments for the benefit of citizens of Zambia only, I don’t have any problem with any foreign investors.

    • You are being cheeky!  Look at Given’s hands also.  It is the position of the flashlight that washed out their faces.  The lighting is not natural and is targeting the faces.

  12. at israel diamonds dot com you can see where all our emeralds are going for sale, time for some reciprocation

  13. This is NO good, what bad did Palestine do Zambia?
    Isn’t enough to send kids to play football to Israel, and not inviting those Jews? You know they are addicted to emeralds, Gold etc, Hitler found it easier to extract from them than opening up mines.

  14. @ 4.1 Please tell me one nation that was not built by foreigners, wherever you are you are a foreigner in that country busy building that country, America was built by foreigners, foreign capital built it, South Africa was built by foreigners, England was built by foreigners, Singapore was built by foreigners, Hong Kong was built by foreigners with foreign capital … a lot of countries were built foreigners, it is not time to be myopic. Zambia’s biggest export is not copper as you may be made to believe.

  15. Genesis 12:3
    New International Version (NIV)
    3 I will bless those who bless you,
        and whoever curses you I will curse; 
    and all peoples on earth
        will be blessed through you. ”[a]

    • You are a blessed nation.I vickson mukwetunga need some help from you a sum of $50,000 to boost my small company .We make coffins to help our community in Zambia a poor country.

      Waiting for good response.

  16. Psalm 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

  17. Let them come the Israelis. As one said, the Simon Zukas and the Gaulin have committed to this country. We need investors from all over the lands to converge on Zambia. Why would we welcome everybody else and not an Israeli?

  18. Bring back the Israelis to come and finish UNZA! We want them in agriculture. We need them in Luapula to come and build us a Bangweulu University for Energy, Water and Aerospace Studies! Hey Israelis, Samfya has oil. Please come fast fast.

  19. Our people in Muchinga will have Lubwa and Mulakupikwa Universities. In Luapula we need to honour the only major inland lake that is not shared with another country. We need Bangweulu University. Faculties of Science and Engineering: Energy (Water, wind, fossil), Architecture, Earthscience and Earth Observation(Geography, Navigation, Remote Sensing). Flying. Marine Studies(Biologies…) and Sociology, law, political science. Welcome Israel.

  20. @Iye mayo… I didn’t know that Railway Systems has been in the hands of Israelis. Ooh, since when? The last time I checked it was concessioned to South Africa’s Spoolnet… Anyway not all Jews are useless naimwe.

  21. You guys talking about nations built by foreigners are forgetting one thing. Those foreigners building America are given incentive to comfortably become AMERICAN… Those in South Africa are made to find it easy to move around and share their skills within that country. It is not just bringing foreigners that matters, it is also how you treat them and make them feel a part. Don’t just sing about foreigners building up a country – a lot goes into harnessing those foreign skills! It is small wonder we bring them in and then start abusing them while demanding their sweet!!! Atase!

  22. #1Rushid, who has shed more innocent blood? Your Palestinians or Israel? Too hell with your Palestinians. In Zambia, we will support Israel. We will also support Palestinians who love to sit side by side with Israel. time when KK was motivated by Arab oil is gone. We can get our oil from Angola and from our own land.

  23. Bring it on Judah! We have been waiting for you to come back.We continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem too.

  24. U invite Israel, we invite God’s Blessing. So does the Bible say and so we see even today what impact they made in feeder roads, giving rural communities empowering education and projects.

  25. Mr. Lubinda, please ask your GRZ to establish full diplomatic relations with the nation of Israel. God said- in reference to the nation of Israel- ” I will bless those who bless you and will curse those who curse you”. Zambia will be blessed when it opens its doors to Israel. forget about the Arabs, they are so confused they cannot even be at peace with each other.

  26. number 27 you are talking shit,DONT YOU KNOW THAT THESE ZIONIST WANTED TO INVADE UGANDA AND DECLARE IT AS ISRAEL BUT IT WAS ONLY AVERTED AT LAST MINUTE BY BRITISH INTERVENTION. DONT BE SURPRISED IF THE JEWS WILL TAKE OVER OUR BELOVED ZAMBIA ONCE THEY KNOW HOW MUCH NATURAL RESOURCES ZAMBIA HAS.IS BETTER TO HAVE CHINESE THAN THESE ZIONIST WHO COULD NOT BE TRUSTED. YOU ARE A FOOL.

    • Israelis are better than the Chinese and the Russians that are busy supporting Assad slaughtering his own people. When we bring in the Israelis we should stand woth them even when they are attacked by other nations instead of join ing the AU that will turn against Israel. We should pull out of the AU which does not support Israel.

    • Once they know? It was Jewish financiers from London, New York and Johannesburg that made mining possible at the scale required back at the top of the 1900’s. The Jews were interacting long before the Europeans ‘discovered’ us. Arabs and Asians including the Chinese were here centuries before so perhaps there is no need to panic about the return of people who know who you are, where you are and what you have. It’s a new day so just be a better negotiator now you’re at the table. Know what I mean :)

    • And one last one for you. Prior to the holocaust there was a plan to send the Jews somewhere far away from Europe. A plan never really carried out. The selected country was Northern Rhodesia…

  27. @13 yes you said it, Israel is more African than even Christians here know. I am Christian and know this:
    Jethro Moses’ father in law made and advised Moses on how to govern Israel and make the twelve tribes as provinces. The Israelis are just coming to re-invest Cuba pongoshi.

  28. Moses’ Father in Law was African Jethro, so Ba wela Kuba pongozi. They are just paying bridal price to their inlaws let them come; so as it says in the Bible preach first to the Jew so he too can be save :).

  29. @13 yes you said it, Israel is more African than even Christians here know. I am Christian and know this:
    Jethro Moses’ father in law made and advised Moses on how to govern Israel and make the twelve tribes as provinces. The Israelis are just coming to re-invest Cuba pongoshi.

  30. Let them come. The Jews are everywhere most of them are running their own business. B R Mumba Sr, is right, we still have Jews in Zambia
