A 28-year-old Indian national has appeared in the Lusaka Magistrates Court for using derogatory language against a Zambian.
Patel Shahnawazy was alleged to have verbally showed ridicule and hatred to Ian Chilenga because of his race.
Shahnawazy was arrested on Thursday last week and remanded in custody after a video of him insulting a Zambian went viral on social media.
A concerned member of the public reported Shahnawazy of SD investment to the police.
The suspect could however not take plea because the prosecution is waiting for consent from the Director of Public Prosecutions -DPP.
Meanwhile, Lusaka Magistrate Lameck Mwale has granted a K15,000 cash bail to the accused person.
Magistrate Mwale further ordered the accused to provide two working sureties to be bound in the sum of thirty thousand kwacha but in their own recognizance.
The matter will come on May 3rd, 2019 for mention.
Bamwenye aba nishi kanshi? Arrest him so that it should send a strong message to the others
Leave him.
Who cares about the Zambian.
Thanks

It’s sad how every ethnic group in the world hates and despises black people. And what’s more saddening is how black people have also been trained to hate their fellow black people and fear other races. Just look at the fools in South Africa. They are afraid of white people, Indians and Chinese. But they hate their fellow black people from other countries.
I do care about Zambians.
Sadly every other ethnic group despises and hates black people. What’s more disturbing is that black people have also been trained to hate and despise themselves. Just look at the f00ls in South Africa. They hate and murder their fellow black people who go to their country from countries that harboured them during apartheid but are scared of the whites who oppressed them and they don’t attack Indians or Chinese in their country.
Black people need to stick together and support each other more. We need to show our potential instead of silly things like tribalism
You parents are from heaven! My freind home is home. Why are you reading news from Zambia if you don’t care about Zambian. Whether educated or not our roots are in Zambia. Who knows when you die your body will be flown back to Zambia.
Ba zeeworld nabo balicha nomba.
He must be sent back to zeeworld.stupid makaka
He needs to be dealt with severely. Indians are the most racist people on the planet. They are racist towards themselves to make it worse.
So are Zambians, haven’t you heard what people say about Tonga’s?
I visited Siavonga for the first time in 2016. When anyone was told I was a visitor, the question they asked me was what tribe are you? Not where are you from? Add to that my niece tried to sell at the market, nobody bought from her. She didn’t speak Tonga.
Deport him.
These people are aborent racists. Some of the very worst towards blacks.
Even in the corrupt PF cader community , the meenyees are full hoping for lungu to give the jobs…..
Yes deport all of them.
One even wonders what expertise such a chap has brought to this country.This is what corruption has done to this country! Certainly this young chap was pumped up by his fellow Indians who brought him here corruptly that “Zambians are useless he could do anything to them and buy his way out of trouble the way his bought his way in”!!
Please ba LT share the video so that it can spread further to help mobilise people realise how lowly these chaps think of us.Where they come from they have a racist “caste system” which has put black Indians at the very bottom in their society’s hierarchy, we should never allow them that evil here and they have of late been treating badly African students after luring them to go and study there! We need to send a strong message to them that ” politicians may be corrupt and cheap but ordinary people want their dignity protected”
He will bribe himself out of trouble, don’t even expect justice here. This country is rotten with corruption.
kambwili waumfwa Tata .
Yes LT can you share this video to highlight racism,
After all you showed CKs video telling off an Indian worker….why not this one ???
It started with mahatma Gandhi, he was one of the most abhorrent racist. Now his progeny are following his views. Rip off his genitals and feed them to lions at Munda wanga.
But Kambwili it’s ok to racially abuse foreigners
It doesn’t matter who insults who. The law is straight forward the one who insults if proven guilty can face up to 3 years imprisonment.
Redo
As far as I saw CK died not racially abuse that Indian , but asked him why he was doing jobs meant for zambians , is that racial abuse ???
If what CK did is racial abuse then all governments , including the Indian government is guilty of racial abuse for asking foringners for IDs
That is xenophobia ba Spaka It can also be racist in that CK assumed since this man was not black he isn’t one of us
The thing called Spaka is actually squatting in a foreign country.
Let’s be fair, how far has kambwiri’s case gone when he fumed against that indian. Justice should be applied equally.
Is CK demanding some jobs be left for zambians racial abuse ???
Do you know why the respect Idi Amin? He put them in their place and kicked their asses out of Uganda.
The problem is with us Zambians especially the ones charged with the responsibility for screening who comes into the country. Those essential Indians will not abuse a worker who is not a threat to his presence but the chibombebombe Indians who feel outperformed by the blk and hence want to frustrate them for his own security at the work place. Keep fishing them out and eventually the message will sink into their skulls. One Zambia, one Nation.
LEAVE HIM ALONE IT CANCELS WITH CK SENTIMENTS ON INDIANS, INDIANS ARE GOOD PEOPLE THEY LOVE BLACK PEOPLE EVEN MEN MARY BLACK WOMEN NOT CHINESE , THEY NEVER MARY BLACK WOMEN
Arrest Kashimba Chimbwiilli too for abuse uMwenye the other week in CB.
That time is gone
It’s a great move that he was arrested. Otherwise most people do get away with such racial crimes and they continue been racist. I’m not against any race, I love and enjoy studying about the cultures and traditions of all of humanity. One day, we are going to be united, regardless of the skin colour.
As I was going through the comments on this topic, I realized one thing;
The comments here mean nothing. Racism, tribalism, nepotism and hate, these will never end as long as each one of us want to be superior than the other.
From the comments here, it seems some people have inner hate not just for Indians but also fellow black people. And I quote “Rip off his **** and feed it to lions and ****” seriously! An adult Zambian, thinking in those angles, where are we going as a Nation? We are a Christian Nation, let’s show it not just claiming it.
Just passing
Mwenye now thinks he is superior to us??? He needs Zambia more than Zambia needs him! First is was a Somalian girl insulting us now a meanie. The two have one thing in common. They are all from the dirtiest races on earth. We need to start deporting them!??
Jail this man !
Sincerely an Indian
I completely condone the behavior of the Indian national, completely disgusted by him. I am of Indian origin but born and bread in Zambia, a country I dearly love. A very peaceful nation with very humble welcoming people. I don’t live in Zambia anymore as my career has taken me to other places but would love to come back home one day to Zambia.
This Indian national being the subject of discussion is a single person that should not represent the view of the majority of Indians living in Zambia. Clearly this guy’s up bringing and manners are not up to scratch and is completely deluded. I saw the video and my boiled and to be honest I would have slapped him and confronted him. Forget about him being an Indian, he is not fit to be called a human being.
He should face the consequences…
Guys!! Think before you gibber! How foolish is it to apply one man’s actions to the whole community? Just because one person did it.. Who is the real racist here? I think we Zambians who are gibbering here are racists!!
Indians a generally racist but the worst are Muslim Indians. They even make islam look bad. If you mingle with muslim indians, you’ll eventually hate Islam just from seeing their behavior and language.
We need laws to send them back to india when they disrespect our people. After all they marry amongst themselves and look down on those who marry outside.
So I’m sure they’ll have no problem living in poverty amongst fellow indians in india.
Sadly, even the Indian PM (Modi) wants indian muslims out. If he could, he would exterminate them like flies.
