Mr Hichilema said this when he addressed thousands of people at the rally during the weekend held at Kaunda square ground in Chiwempala Township in Chingola.
Mr Hichilema who was accompanied by his newly vice president Geoffrey Mwamba commonly known as GBM was received by thousands of supporters at a fully parked rally singing at a high notch slogan “FORWARD, FORWARD”
He said the mining giant run by KCM has not been doing well to alleviate poverty, adding that contractors are paying its employees amounting to K250 and K300 as a monthly salary which is an insult to Zambian people.
“I’m an economist both local and international hence to bring back viable international mining company which will give opportunities to local contractors to do business with mines that can create more jobs to Zambian people”, Mr. Hichilema said.
He also promised Jerabos those who does illegal mining activist that his Government will give them licenses to regarlise mining activities so that Zambians can run own mining industries which will employee many Zambians.
Mr Hichilema said his Government will also offer free education starting grade one to universities to the orphans and to the children whose parents are unable to pay for school fees.
He said since he is a good Sheppard who has been looking after a large number of vulnerable and he shall not fail to care for every Zambian.
“Statements raised by Patriotic Front (PF) members are unbearable, saying Hichilema want to sale the country, where do you find the market where they sale countries”, Mr Hichilema asked?
Mr Hichilema said the failure of PF Government to run the country has intensively trickled down the economy and made the country to be on deficit in electricity shortages, fuel shortages and high prices of malie meal.
However, Mr Hichilema said PF Government is planning to demolish houses in Chingola which are not well built, now UPND will not demolish any house for a poor Zambian, but will help them to build good houses and negotiate with land owners to give them plots.
Mr Hichilema assured women in markets that will have access to loans to do businesses while tax drivers will have RTSA fees reduced and PSV drivers who renewed licenses after a year will be extended to five years.
And UPND vice president Geoffrey Mwamba said PF has lost grip on the copperbelt province adding that miners have been neglected and youths have no jobs.
Mr Mwamba said President Edgar Lungu has no vision which late President Michael Chilufya Sata has to take the country forward and to stabilize the economy.
“I’m a founder member of PF party and worked together with late president Sata with vision to develop the country but Lungu neglected us and brought in new people to work with”, Mr Mwamba said.
“I’m urging you Chingola residents to vote Hichilema for president come 2016 general elections to create more jobs for the youths”, Mr Mwamba said.
Earlier Major Kachingwe said he was optimistic that Hichilema will governor well the country because he is a good Sheppard who has a lot of cattle.
Mr Kachingwe said a good Sheppard don’t lost any cattle, if he lost one he goes out look for it till he find it, so he will look for the Zambian people well.
“Don’t be cheated by Lungu who don’t have a vision to rule the country, my slogan when I say Lungu you all say “Lungu alungusha chalo” meaning Lungu has burnt the country.
Liars, where is the video where all these things happened! U are the reporter, dont tell me you wrote what you heard. He never said this!
Kaili ba Anglo left after Mazoka who was a ma son lost to Mwanawasa……only a freema son can bring them back.
and please HH ,,,, ing`ombe business/kachema business no tax dont forget ,,, me and my @Nostradamus are coming back as investors
@Ndobo l can’t believe you said that- that you wouldn’t want to pay tax like FM @ the newspaper! It staggers me greatly that you would indulge in the very indiscritions that have brought this country to its knees!
Ba HH naimwe! Anglo American left Zambia on their own in 2002 when copper prices fell. They said copper mining was no longer their “core” business. Why would AA come back now? LPM tried to bring back through the Oppenheimers (who visited State House with their Zambian friend Nkanza) but they insisted copper mining was not in their interests.
“Lungu alungusha chalo” …really laughable
Good nite!!
@MB, agriculture is tax free in Zambia since the late 1990s!!!! That is why companies like Zambia Sugar and ZAMbeef can flourish!! You cant go wrong in cattle ranching!!!
if this is what HH said, its a bit unorthodox a style for him. but i guess he has now learnt the zambian politics. Just promise and people will vote for you. Pantu if you are realistic, they wont. then once voted into power, do that which you think is right. I just hope my man HH’s judgement of what is right for the country really is good and right. Vote HH 2016. i see hope again, that is what a good leader does. inspires!!!!
Very retrogressive man chi HH. No plans for the future, he wants to bring back the past! ha ha ha. Ifimishishi!
What a load of rehearsed drivel excerpted from a playbook of nonconformist crusaders of inimical corporatocracy. It is all but a doomed song of desperadoes to the vigilant Zambians defenders of moral conscious and virtues.
Since when did Anglo-America become the savior of the poor when they abandoned Zambians at the hour of our national need? Who doesn’t know that it is the reason why distraught late President Levy Mwanawasa (MHSRIP) sold off our multi billion dollar worth Nchanga mines for US$25 million.
This is why we say running a Government is not like running a corporation. POtherwise, hard currency multi billionaires in the league of Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Larry Ellison, Charles Koch, David Koch, Christy Walton & family or indeed Michael Bloomberg, John Kerry or Mitt…
It is no surprise that in the USA, people settled for a simple young Political Science Graduate and law school Professor in Obama against US Dollar billionaire Mitt Romney and Michael Bloomberg all politically active and generous.
In Zambia, HH has a long way to be a patriot and true defender of Zambian virtues and the common man. He is too obsessed and compromised to the borne with interests of predatory corporatocracy than Zambians. He sees Zambians as his usable species beings he can offload to the highest bidders with impunity. The country deserves self preservation than such subnormal crusades. If his Anglo option is the magic wonder of overnight economic miracle HH has, then he is irredeemably doomed in Zambian politics.
ALABEJA MANINGI MUSANKWO YU BASA. EVEN IF YOU WERE TO BRING THEM THE QUESTION IS DOES AFRICA NEED THOSE WHO ABANDON THE MINES OR OTHER BUSINESSES WHEN THE WIND IS NOT BLOWING THEIR WAY? ZAMBIA NEEDS THE DANGOTES OF AFRICA. YOU ARE NOT TALKING OF EMPOWERING ZAMBIANS TO RUN THE MINE? YOU STILL BELIEVE IN BAZUNGUS FROM EUROPE OR AMERICA?
Unless HH is the investment manager of Anglo-American, this will never happen. KCM is not an interesting mining project as its assets are tired and loss making. If the Vedanta mwenyes who cut corners and pollute surrounding rivers cannot make money out of KCM, what about Anglo who follow high standards?
Like Kachingwe put it HH is a good sherpard.
Whether the term “Kachema” is used to call u as a derogatory remark, pliz HH or any other Tonga use it to your advantage. Embrace it! After all, in its natural meaning a “Kachema or Shepard” is a caring person & relatively rich if he owns the animals. Even Kachemas that work for others eventually own animals of their own. During droughts Kachemas have meet & milk to eat & drink, leather for shoes, bones for glue & fertilizer & of course manual for gardening. You may wonder how their cattle can survive during drought – wells can be dug. Its the tubulus who suffer when rivers dry! No catching fish! After all Botswana, RSA, Kenya, Nigerian hausa-Fulanis & USA are pastoral countries. Why does USA have many Cowboys?
Remember in the past the…
@ But what hope does HH inspire. He is just as hopeless as all the other politicians. To be realistic, the only politician in Zambia who inspires hope is Elias Chipimo Jr. And number 2 is Brig General Godfrey Miyanda. These are the only politicians I have come to know who are consistent. But like you already know, Zambians like to be lied to

Remember in the past the chaps used to laugh at Lundas & Luvales as fibudu for being circumcised. Today they are shamelessly flocking to hospital for circumcision. Why feel ashamed for being circumcised when they pray to the Lord Jesus Christ who himself was circumcised on day 8?
The free masonry propaganda is cheap,primitive and scare tactics for those who do not know who they are in Christ. How big is the God of those who dwell on the defeated devil, the devil is a non factor Jesus spoiled all principalities and powers and Jesus has paid the price for every type of sin whether adulterer, freemasony, thief, liar, murder etc,the blood of Jesus cleanses every sin. Please do not try to loose sight of what Jesus has accomplished on the cross of calvary by listening to vain talks of people who try to magnify the devil instead of magnifying God. To the pure all things are pure but to the corrupt all things are corrupt.
Lusaka Times, be impartial and publish all comments.

hahahaha….. old fashioned politics from hh and fat albert.
Even GRZ has gone back to running Parastatals by nationalization (LAP Green’s Zamtel). Why is it impossible for Anglo American to come back if conditions favor them now?
People of Kasama are equally feeling the pinch of pf’s poor economy. This team will change zambia for better. Let us give upnd massive support.

Is this the same Anglo group of conmen who raped the country and left at night without warning. ZAMBIANS should now try and exploit their mineral wealthy themselves. This multinational corporation jargon is not working. We have enough human resources to do it fifty years on. It’s a shame that we are still letting politicians of HH calibre preach about foreigners coming to rip us off. Where are all our experts. The framework might have been set already for mining why can we not move things on ourselves . Are we that stu.pid. HH tell us another tale, this one is off target.

Having some corporate orientation I would expect HH to have some inside story to the way these MNCs operate and should be looking to ways of protecting the country’s mineral wealth by working out ways of us doing…
Comment: Hummer the nail HH. Come 2016 you have my vote.
The correct heading should be “HH Promises to bring back Anglo American to replace Vedanta Resources.” KCM was known as such even before Anglo pulled out.
Elo lwanya. HH is in PF bedroom about to mount the lady of the house kikikikikikiki
Kikiki,bonking the pf lady on top,from behind and on the side,HH having a hell of a time in pf bedroom.lolComment:
@pasyo
You must be a day dreamer ! Which team will change Zambia for better ? Talking is one thing and performing is another.Up and down has no capacity to do more than PF has done in a short period of time.Only a short sighted person like pasyo can think that the two unholy friends can do anything.They just want money for their pockets.
…and everybody else is a saint?
Hehehehehehehehehehe
Zambians should be optimistic, there are progressive parties in the world that have changed their countries.
Can’t we, AFTER 50 years do what Anglo group can do using our ouw experts. HH you should kno better as a corporate person. These MNCs are not there for anyone but themselves. Anglo looted ZAMBIA and fled now you want them back. HAVE we not got men and women who are able to run our mines after all these years. I am disappointed in you mate.
Excellent point. The one thing Zed is not short of is expertise even if some have been lost to foreign lands while others locally forced to play subservient to Zambia’s beloved ‘forenaz’…
Ye old civics book that described Zed as 51% Zambia and 49% Anglo American used to piss me off but there’s no denying their blue print of the seven mining towns was a good plan (especially if you wound up in the right neighbourhood). Until I was ten I was so closeted I thought the whole of Zambia was as pretty as old Chingola and Luanshya with dirty Lusaka thrown in…
What school did this reporter did drop out of? Chisungu chamu sango shani ichi
How can you surely bring back Anglo American when they left us when we needed them most, left workers unpaid and pulled the plug….how is this moving forward, why can you not just selected someone with the best packet to over on merit..what’s your connection to Anglo America?
*…you not just select someone with the best package on merit…
Please can you also replace this Zesco with something, they notified us that our load shedding in Kabangwe today is 14 to 22 but it’s now after 22 30 and no power restored yet. You can tell that the incompetence has nothing to do with Kariba water
Kwena tata wandi nangu imbutuma meaning riffraffs shalanda ati uli kachema wilasakamana.One ndi mubemba nkonko frm kasama we support u 1000%.Bembaz are not tribal at all we love u HH .Lungu tumikonso ngakalukuluku.He ‘ll be standing alone like a giraffe early next year with the MMD mps he has embraced.We ministers for Sata will be joining Forward gears on motorways .Zambians have spoken continuation ni Forward no reverse gear
Uko ayabafuti uyu muntu. He lost the last elections because of his 300 promises, again he is at it. Mwana now you are telling us why AA funded your last elections simply put in exchange for the mines. You have all along denied this. I for one can’t trust you now or in the near future. Ba kachingwe bowman hasn’t finished with you yet. Akakuteka infine mu kona again Charm Shuffle “he gave me
pimples in the corner”
GBM founder member why are you in court? Zambian courts are cheap surely now this judge who granted this injunction must be dile
HH played a major role in the sale of mines on the copperbelt out of which he received a huge bribe that earned him a fortune.People of copperbelt re well aware of the misery HH caused for selling the mines and cant trust him on this one.HH should look for other things to talk about not mines.
I am now becoming afraid of the opposition if indeed that was said. KCM would never easily be chased whether the opposition won or not, its not as easy as jut saying go!!!sad that such words can actually be said if indeed they were, what we are seeing now then is the sata politics at play, it has brought us where we are now… A mans success and great skills can be seeing in his/her abilities to manage the little they have, was there any great thing that happened when GBM was minister?
Politics of deceit. No foreign company will have Zambian interests at the centre of their investment policies. This what makes HH lose elections. Address Zambia’s failures including poor work ethic and the lack of vision by Zambian politicians and rich people like himself and GBM. Try investing in empowering Zambian professionals and concentrate on ensuring that the local worker understands his role in developing their country. Anglo American will come and just continue with more exploitation of the Zambians. Our lack of vision and political clout to push for better terms from investors is a major weakness. HH be innovative and stop playing to the gallery.
Has hh changed his tune, again? Last time I heard him campaigning he promised free education from nursery to university for ALL without exception. And last week he promised cheap electricity for all while building new power stations.
Has she just learnt some new lessons in economics or does he think that we are not tracking what he says and promises? a good economist does not boast about it, especially hh who has failed the exam. HH is not an economist but a “promise a bull and deliver a mouse” kind of politician, like his tutor Sata whose “vision” has left us huge holes in the ground in the form of foundations for new district offices forcing us into a huge foreign debt to complete the “projects”..
But you never have to worry about hh, he always shoots himself in the foot at…
Consistency is important, UPND needs to know this. Zambians indeed need to seriously question UPND.
HH has just confirmed the pre-by election deals he made with the Anglo guys and the Oppenheimers etc….Anglo has never had Zambia’s interests at heart. They are a typical neocolonial multinational company that ran away when the going got tough for Zambia. They are part of the messy privatization of the mines and this just confirms further HH’s nefarious role in it. Those of us who were alive and educated adults when the family silver was sold by these thieves will never forget the complicity of Anglo-American Corporation in the theft. So excuse me if I do not get any orgasm from this piece of heart-rending news.
We are all going back once HH , wins election, Zambia will be wealth living in. People lets all vote UPND chabe, ni forward fye.
If your coming back is linked to HH winning, then you may never come back because this man may never win. If what is written above in broken English is true, then the three speakers are dull and lack tangible solutions to the country’s problems. Even HH looks dull here. It would make a difference if he talked about ourselves taking charge of our mines. AA and KCM are just the same, they are there to milk poor countries of their resources.
Since when did owning cattle become a sign of a good president, especially where the people looking after the same cattle are not being paid? Since when did GBM become a founder member of PF? Soon he will claim he is a founder member of UPND. And where in the world do u find a country that does not borrow? Even America borrows. It would have been worrying if the borrowed money was for consumption. But the way it is being invested, it will contribute to improving this country,s economy. Can the three tell us countries where prices are going down in this world. IN SHORT, THESE ARE DAY DREAMERS.
IF HH said and promised this, then he got it wrong on the investment strategy. AND, LT why taking long to report a “hot” story. Move with the times.
HH A SPENT FORCE AND VERY COSTLY TO UPND
Read above how people have realized HH is a spent force. Others are even thinking of GBM to make us be ruled by PF forever! We have enough UPND breed to whitewash PF at the earliest possible opportunity, but alas, too much bickering and HH syndrome all over. The man should be quickly thrown in the backyard and will position dynamic and vibrant person for 2016. I will ALWAYS REPEAT, do not think of me when PF takes the day in 2016 because I have spoken and printed my lungs out on the need for an HH IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT! GBM is so unpopular in PF HH will be admitted should we lose, and please let us take sue this man for misrepresentation after 2016 because he has lied to us many times during which he loses costly elections.
Lusaka times hired a grade seven chap from Chingola to do this report for them? My grade seven daughter can do better, sure, mwebantu, twapapata!!
Frankly, KCM would be better run by Anglo American who have vast experience in the industry. It is no secret that HH does have the right resources, financial and social to pull such a deal off.
Look, you can be in absolute denial that the PF has not failed, but it is shear incompetence when the currency depreciates by over 100%. The PF has defaulted on pensions by increasing the retirement age to 60.
I am not sure about the value of UPND MPs but I know for sure that I would like to see what HH could do with the economy.
CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME
HOW MUCH DOES HH PAY HIS FARM WORKERS? SOME RECEIVE AS LITTLE AS K200.00 PER MONTH.
IF THE TWO RICH CROOKS MEAN WHAT THEY ARE SAYING, WHY DID THEY POCKET MONEY FROM SALES OF LUANSHYA MINES?
WHY HAVE THEY NOT INVESTED IN SOCIAL ACTIVITIES OF COMMUNITIES LIKE DANGOTE OF NIGERIA OR PATRICE MOTSEPE OF SOUTH AFRICA?
CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME
HOW MUCH DOES HH PAY HIS FARM WOEKERS IN SOUTHERN PROVINCE? SOME OF OF THEM ARE PAID K500.00 PER MONTH.

WHY HAVE THEY NOT INVESTED IN SOCIAL ACTIVITIES OF COMMUNITIES LIKE DANGOTE OF NIGERIA OR PATRICE MOTSEPE OF SOUTH AFRICA?
Most people here are Pf cadres who by all means want to discredit what UPND is saying, but you can clearly see that your beloved PF government has lamentably failed but still you hang on, that’s foolishness,if someone promises you something and that person has never disappointed before why should you distrust such a person? This is stupidity that most of you Pf cadres are carrying everywhere, you’re the same reason why zambia is not progressing.. Brace yourselves UPND is winning next general elections, you will continue hating until you 80yrs old.. I support people with a better manifesto.
Comment: stupid Pf cadres,u re the same reason why zambia is deemed as useless on all fronts..
ITS HH HU HAS NO VISION KOZ ANGLO LEFT ON THER OWN AFETR COPPER PRICES WENT DOWN.THE INDIANS ALTHOUGH THEY MIT BE BAD,HAVE STAYED EVEN DURING POOR COPPER PRICING.HOW DO U TRUST AN INVESTOR HU CAN ONLY STAY WEN THE COPPER PRICES ARE FAVOURABLE?AM A CHINGOLA RESIDENT AND I CHALLENGE HH TO TELL US WAT ANGLO DID FOR THE COMMUNITY OF CHINGOLA BEFRORE THEY LEFT.MR HH SHUD NOT BE CHEATED BY DOZ CROWDS.BUSES WERE GOIN AROUND PICKING PIPO TO THE RALLY AND EVEN FOOD WAS BEIN PROMISED.SERIOUS PIPO OF CHINGOLA WERE ATTENDING CHURCH AND BIBLE STUDIES OR PREPARING FOR MONDAY WEN DEY HAD THERE RALLY.MOST PIPO IN TOWN CENTER DINT EVEN KNO HH WAS IN TOWN.
There goes two confused and desperate failed businessmen who want to kill off the miners. Which miner in his rightful thinking mind can ever entertain the Anglo Americans? Have miners on the copperbelt forgotten what this HH did to them, sending them early to the grave by privatizing the mines to Anglo America which further abandoned the mines and left them to die?
Are these the miners we all know or are these people who don’t seem to know anything about HH involvement in the privatization and his personal interest in Anglo America? Well I strongly doubt it indeed.
HH and GBM further goes on to lie again that he will provide free education from grade one to University, ha! Just ask him a simple question how many are they those school going children and how much does this translate to?…
ZAMBIA DAILY MAIL, 26 AUGUST 2015 CAROLINE KALOMBE, Lusaka
UNITED Party for National Development (UPND) vice-president for administration Geoffrey Mwamba has maintained that he is still a member of the Patriotic Front (PF) and has asked the High Court to stop Speaker of the National Assembly Patrick Matibini from declaring his seat vacant.
Mr Mwamba said he notified Dr Matibini of cases before the courts regarding his membership to the PF and that the Speaker was legitimately expected to refer any questions relating to the vacancy of the Kasama Central parliamentary seat to the High Court.
“At no particular time did I ever cease to be a member of the PF. I was and still am a member of the Patriotic Front (PF) party,” Mr Mwamba said. Those of you who still need HH, not me,…
The only interest HH and GBM have for being politics is to revive their fallen fortunes and enrich themselves again by stealing heavily from the poor people and nothing else.
Any intelligent person who know that if indeed these two “rich” people in Zambia really cared for the poor, what have they done with their “wealthy to alleviate poverty levels in Zambia? And why should should they only care for the people when they are in power?
Remember Mr. Sata chased GBM and Kabimba from Government after he came to realize that these people where seriously misleading him and involved in heavy corruption. REMEMBER, ITS JUST SOME TWO YEARS AGO! So be careful with HH, GBM, Kabimba, Mutati and Nawakwi. All these people have misused Zambians big time and only f00l can ever want them near the…
The good thing is Mr. EDGAR CHAGWA LUNGU is a savior for Zambia and will beat the opposition massively this time around in 2016 and beyond! His leadership in just seven months has proved beyond any doubt that he is the President God has given Zambia to develop and bring prosperity to the sufferings Zambians are experiencing now because of the past selfishness of HH, Nawakwi, GBM, Mutati, Kabimba and the rest…..
Can Kachingwa tell Zambians where he got the money to build a very very big house in Silverest in 2010? Is this not the Zambian money he looted when he was Secretary General in MMD prio to 2011 elections? Zambians, read and wake up and don’t be cheated by thieves. Thieves will always be thieves and that what HH, GBM, Nawakwi, Mutati, Maureen are. They never change and you can…
GBM (THE G REAT B WANA M AMBALA) has now realized that he could only retain the Kasama seat on PF ticket. IN HIS SUBMISSION TO THE COURTS AS REPORTED IN TODAY’S NEWS MEDIA, GBM maintains that he is still a member of the Patriotic Front (PF)and not UPND……. CAN GBM REPEAT THAT ON a upnd rally?
NO, CALL HIM “THE GREEDY BWANA MAMBALA OR (GBM)”
Now wants to take our positions in UPND, give them to his tribesmen and we are all alert. Very soon there will be a storm and a new leader will come through to redeem us in order to get a sweet victory over PF in 2016. This moron is being used by PF to make us lose in 2016. I hear they frustrated him deliberately so that he joins our party…being negatively positioned to weaken us. Beware of PF and their character which does not change ….They are doing a Dontchi Kubeba and us Ndwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii…GBM wabola sunu etc you will get a rude shock of this pompous guy.
Both H and GBM are very bad employers. They insult their worker, pay them very little…………ver late.
HH and GBM those are old stories and w haerd them before.It the same thing in JAnuary 2015 but you were walloped in Nchanga and right there in Chiwempala.The crowed was the same and dont get decieved by inquisitive Kids coming to your rallies.It is because you promised them money a night before in Riverside where you held a meeting.You should have heard what was said and what is being said about you, GBM and your Party after your rally.You headed for another flop in 2016
HH has no plan. how do you bring back Anglo America. I thought he would have been talking of diversifying. moving away from mining and talking of agriculture. This man has no plan. Ati i will negotiate with land owners…… surely is that a plan? suppose they refuse then what
PF you have failed to provide leadership just accept. No electricity total black out in the cities, Garbage not collected for months, poor education standards in schools, poor services in hospitals, contaminated oil and looming credit crunch. Awe just accept you have failed we try HH. Lungu will never be a savior but a burdain.PF you just a bunch of thieves.Kabwe was all HH yesterday.This time HH will win with more 2milion votes.
sido mark ,HH won by landslide on MUVI TV opinion poll so probably your 2 million votes is right. The only saviour for this country is ourselves citizens not politicians. HH has his interests and will further those if he was to be president.
When you hear that HH is being financed by large mining corporation this is exactly what what is meant. Selling the country does no mean putting the country in a market to sale it but bringing investors who will exoloite the masses and when things go wrong they leave you in limbo by night like anglo did. As an economist HH should know better the consequences of such ideas. Isn’t time we started creating more african billionaires by empowering locals to run these institutions than bring exploiters .
We are between a hard place and a rock, AA bolted at the first signs of adversity in 2001/02 but now the Indians are busy ripping us off in any which way imaginable. HH has seen the suffering of the people in those parts of Zambia and he is just copying straight out Michael Sata’s book of “how to campaign and win votes in Zambia”. Where we have reached, any investor will be better than those thieving Indians and this will resonate with many people.
Firstly those advocating for our own why did we sale the mines in the first place. We lamentably failed to run them thats why are in the undercapitalised state now. Fifty (50) years of independence and we have lamentably failed to divesify the economy. Then you are very sure that Dangote is here to help you, WAKE UP! Bena Zambia tuli fipuba chabe. Akulyeni fye ubwali.
HH promises to give KCM to anglo. It will be interesting to see how he does this. Will it be the Sata-Zamtel way? By the way ZCCM-IH shares are up for grabs, it will be interesting to know how many indigenous Zambians will show interest. So much for having our own running a mining company.
Iyoo this HH and GBM they are drealers! Anglo American is not coming back this is just talkshop! Nonsense greedy men!
But there is nowhere in that supposedly HH direct quote were Anglo American is mentioned. This is gutter journalism.
Anglo American is to Zambia what a woman that leaves her husband when the chips are down is to the poor fellow, a gold digger! They can’t and should never be trusted, let alone allowed to set afoot in Zambia. They offered no solutions to problems that people are still experiencing 20+ years down the line. They can keep their money where they feel it’s safe. We must learn to fend for ourselves. What Zambia needs are practical solutions to the job market impasse where we see only children of the connected enter the job market. Even entrepreneurs need some level of experience, education and exposure in the real world (yes the bloody job market) before venturing out on their own. The country needs cheaper finance for the budding entrepreneur who have already created a culture of self…
Anglo-American Corporation is a Rothschild baron owned company. It was started by the Rothschild family associated Oppenheimer family, and JP Morgan. Anglo-American Corporation is 85% owner of De Beers, the other 15% belongs to the Botswana government. De Beers was funded by the 1st Lord Rothschild, baron Nathaniel Mayer, in 1887, the year before their co-investor Cecil Rhodes became Founding Chairman of the board of directors.
Why doesn’t the Zambian government own 15% of KCM? Or Anglo-American? Instead, we have this shell company called ZCCM-IH, instead of ZCCM itself.
Also, how can the party that has GBM as Vice President, accuse any other part of ‘having no vision’?
The problem is that the mines are still in the same hands as they were under colonialism, and all the politicians running are just lackeys to them.
The UPND was started by Anderson ‘Anglo Andy’ Mazoka, remember? I am sure the UPND will do anything the IMF tells them to do if they get into power.
