Livingstone Member of Parliament, Lawrence Evans has warned tour operators and Lodge owners against intimidating and mistreating local tourists.
Speaking to Radio Musiotunya ahead of the 49th Independence Day for Zambia which falls on Thursday 24th October 2013 this year, Mr. Evans said it has come to his attention that most local tourists who wish to visit the tourist Capital have been victims of racial assault by some lodge managers. He has cautioned those found wanting to desist from such kind of inhuman behavior or else face the wrath of the law.
Mr. Evans said government is in a hurry to promote domestic tourism and all investors who wish to invest in Zambia and the tourism sector should know that the people of Zambia have been liberated , know their rights and that any form of Racial attack on any Zambian Citizen is an insult to all peace loving Zambian. He said the government will soon set an example by deporting all Lodge or Hotel mangers in Livingstone who will find themselves on the wrong side of the law.
The Livingstone Parliamentarian has appealed to the residents of Livingstone to be peaceful and united as the country celebrates its 49th Independence.
Meanwhile Mr. Lawrence Evans has urged the people of Livingstone to brace themselves for massive development in the tourist capital.Mr. Evans said government is more than committed to transform Livingstone into a modern preferred tourist capital. He said that government has given Southern Water and Sewerage company SWSCO 65 Million kwacha to help in the quality delivery of the water system in the tourist capital.
Mr. Evans said SWSCO has since engaged a Chinese company to carry out the works in a more professional and transparent manner. He says SWSCO will construct a reservoir which will be supplying water to Maramba, Libuyu and Highland townships and will be in operational next year in March.
The Livingstone Member of parliament has assured the residents of Livingstone that once this is done the water blues in Livingstone will be a thing of the past.
Well why do we get annoyed being called N***
Accept that is just the way who you are , it is not racism
Grow up and accept this treatment from these great investors
Thanks
YOUNG girls in Kawambwa’s Mushota area are reportedly chasing after Chinese men working on Kawambwa-Luwingu road to have a feel of ‘Chinese sex’, the
district AIDS task force has revealed.
Sexual activities in Mushota area of Senior Chief Mushota’s area have reportedly gone up following the commencement of road works by Unik Engineering
Zambia Limited, a Chinese firm contracted to upgrade the Kawambwa via Mushota-Luwingu road to bituminous standard.
During the district development coordinating committee meeting at Kawambwa civic centre chamber, district AIDS coordination adviser Emmanuel Chileya
revealed that casual sex between Chinese contractors and young girls had become common because the girls were keen to have unprotected sex with the
Chinese.
Mushota please grow up!!Your comments lack merit most of the time.You claim to be studying PHD,Masters etc etc but your thinking i vey childish!And what time do have to coment on everything and every issue?I think u dont do anything.You coud be just be a beggar and nothung else.
The word Niggar has been banned in the USA becaus it is an insult but you still very proud to be called “Niggar”. Tthink before you yap!!And whotold you that running a lodge is a great investiment?Be serious and get a life!!
you obviously have no slightest idea about the connotaction of being called a nigger or kaffir by a white man. i suggest you read the norton’s anthology of african american literature. you try to call a pakistani in the UK a ‘paki’ or a whiteman a ‘pig skin’ you will get your self in so much trouble then it will sink in your skull.this has nothing to do with being ashamed or one being a great investor..you actully are the one who needs to do alot of growing up and alot of reading.it a shame your ignorant comment is first on this suject next tie dont say anything if you are this ignorant on a subject.

Weldone Mr. Evans. Don’t allow these foreigners to come here, make their monies and then mistreat the locals. Its high time Zambians woke up from slimner
We know Evans is racist too, that’s why he understand what racism is. Let the investors work, and not be mistreated by racist politicians.
Racists are shallow minded humans who base their existence and self-worth on bringing other people down. But worst still are people like @Nostradamus and @Mushota who are willing to look away and condone such evil from unrepentant racists from foreign lands. What kind of world or era were you two born in??????
Welcome lets warn these maggorts that like misstreating Zambians in their own country. These minients should be deported. seleni tubombeko ifwe ba PF
Zero tolerance for racist investors….shut them down and send them back where they came from.
Yes let’s deport them. Even you we will deport u as well if u mistreat ur workers. After all is Evans really a Zambian surname?
What a BL00DY RACIST that you are yourself! With you it is even worse, you are basing your racism on NAME only???
just deport those chaps..why entertain them..?
Zambia will not be taken seriously by these arrogant and mistreating so called investors if all we do is warn when found wanting.Chase them immediately,this will lead as an example to others.
NO TO RACISM! NO TO TRIBALISM! NO TO DISCRIMINATION!
MP. You forget to warn the locals who go and disturb the peace of others in Lodges and Hotels after drinking Kachasu from Libuyu compound. When they are told to tone down, you call that racial. Its time that other people behaved themselves in Lodges forgetting that the Licence given to operate bars etc are for “Residents only”. Let us not bring politics and accuse others after ‘misbehaving usually with people’s wives’ to show off. I can see you want to promote lawlessness
@Intercity:
Did the clergyman (Pastor), his friend, and their wives who were refused stay at a certain lodge in Livingstone drunk kachasu in Libuyu before showing up at this lodge for a vacation?
They may have been several other cases before, but I am assuming this is the case on which the MP is basing his deportation warnings. And it is about time!
Let us NOT excuse evil—and racism is evil and retrogressive in all its shades, shape, or form. No matter how many excuses we want to come up with, Period!!!
PF at work. No Jokes
The opposition will soon have nothing sensible to talk about. They will just resort to inciting Zambians to boycott independence celebrations.
Celebrate what?
Don’t just issue threats. Act now!! After all, action speaks louder than words.
Well done Mr. Evans.
Mr. Evans, instead of cheap racism related yap-yap, why instead not use statutory provisions? Or, name and shame.
Alternately, can you explain why Livingstone after 49 years is still absolute non-entity on the world tourist circuit?
Well said.
He is mature he will deal with the named resort administratively,the non entity on world tourist circuit is a thing of the past update your file, Livingstone was listed even before the Unwto,congratulations PF continue the good work opposition is running out of strategy lately….
uh uh i almost forgot lstone has an MP were the hell have you been man we never heard from you not even during the UNWTO and you show up today and want to deport everyone…lol you cant be serious talk is cheap mate
NO, he only wants to deport racists!!!!
And if you are one of them, be afraid, be very afraid, partner!
Hon. Evans, I think we have been warning these erring persons for too far long. I suggest you just deport them right away. Warnings have been given but no adherence, get rid of them. They are a cancer worse than AIDS.
ridiculous comment deleted
You are a fööl!
Oh my, my, my! I bet you are probably a White dude masquerading as Mushota’s (a half-brained black loony) supporter all because she has said something so racist which a Willing-racist like you agree with. Doesn’t supporting a “well-articulated” black racist (which Mushota seems to be) negates your argument in your world? Aren’t all “n!ggas” in the racist world supposed to be inarticulate and st*p!d? So why support a “n!gga”? Oh, I forgot, Mushota is a useful racist “n!gga” to you, right? I see…….!
While smart parents avoid producing douchebags like you by using contraceptives, your father was not smart enough to use “withdrawal method” instead he released in your mum … what a waste of sperm!
Honestly speaking some of the institutions in Livingstone have very poor customer service especially towards the domestic tourists.
You should appreciate anyone who comes to spend money at your establishment don’t make them feel stupid for it. But there is too much kuzi onsa pa chinto too dull to realise you have just killed an opportunity to make money.
Change your attitude please.
Too much black on black hate as well in Livingstone.
Mushota is just kept at home. I know him chipuba.Not even educated.

Don’t warn these Racist Supremacists. These are rejects that we’re Not Tolerated in Zimbabwe & South -Africa, by President Bob, & Chairman J. Malema.
KICK THEM OUT!!!
The Racist behaviour they are exhibiting on “Owners of the Continent” – Black Africans is illegal even in their Homeland Europe
People should learn to accept divergent views. 1. Tiger Woods is not black, please google if you think i am lying. 2. if we teamed up as Zambians, we would have successfully built and run lodges much better than The Royal Livingstone. Instead, each of us lies that we are doing something and we never ever succeed. we need to team up guys. 3. Zambeef, Proflight, Protea, Action Auto, Melissa, Times Cafe, 101, Alpha Bar, Finance Bank, etc are succesfully run by Whites. I agree that we have Madison, Spectra, The Lounge, Bulawayo, kwa Mukupa, Killy Bees, Mayela, vunguma, etc run by blacks as well. but fact is we shall achieve more if we team up guys. Its not all about “ive done tu ma flats” or ” house in Nkana East'” let it be bigger
Ka evans is just an mp he doesn’t have powers to deport anyone.
Zambian workers are also to blame for the pathetic treatment of local tourists. They are more than willing to give Muzungus who come here first class service and treatment whilst they look down or treat their local Zambian customers with condescending attitudes. Same attitude you will find in Shoprite too. A shoprite worker would rather pack groceries and take them to the car of the white customer but cannot do the same for a fellow Zambian . In multinational companies operating in Zambia it is common to find human resource managers and the few top Zambian managers siding with foreigners in suppressing local Zambian workers rather than standing up for them. Now if foreigners come and see this behavior amongst ourselves how do you expect them to respect us and treat us with dignity?
Very true.
It’s poverty bwana these so called bazungus give tips but locals just want to order workers around and complain loadly while reporting to bosses lies just because the poor girl refused to give him her phone number.Local tourists should also adjust to fit in after all they only visit on Christmas….
