Students from various institutions of Higher Learning will this morning conduct a peaceful protest at the South African High Commission in Lusaka against the continued xenophobic attacks on foreign nationals in that country.
The Protests are in view of the casual manner in which the South African government is handling the matter which has seen five foreigners killed so far.
Zambia National Students Union President Misheck Kakonde says it is disappointing that the South African Government does not want stop the madness exhibited by its people.
Mr Kakonde said all student leaders will convene this morning as they take the petition to the South African embassy.
He has asked all Zambian students to wear black attire to show displeasure over the killings happening in South Africa.
That’s my people. I am in solidarity with you guys!
Excellent.
In addition we ust follow the example of Rwanda, Malawai and DRC in boycotting the WEF that is scheduled in Cape Town. We need to send a strong message to SA.
South Africans target foreigners at least. In Zambia it is brother against brother as happened during campaigning in the Roan constituency by-election. Someone was killed and there’s a grieving Zambian family.
Please answer me, is xenophobic violence not morally equivalent to election violence which our government has refused to stop? When will protests against election-related violence start?
Chambia is simply the best!!
PF shouldn’t teargas the students, they are not after PF government, but maybe them too.
Great job to Kamanga too for cancellation of soccer game.
HH just quickly jump in front of the students, if PF adopt those protests then it is a leverage towards 2021 victory. There is power in students.
Nigerians have also tried to target Shoprite, DSTV and MTN all South African interests in Nigeria but thanks to the law enforcement officers in that country who have stopped rioters there.
So the real question that demands real answers is why are poor South African mostly black and colored citizens targeting foreigners in that country?
Some say it’s due to open borders that allows uncontrolled inflows of immigrants the same immigrants are accused of stealing S.A.can jobs. But some foriegners who are being targeted have taken business to South Africa. Ramaphosa has a huge mountain to climb to curb xenophobia.
Xenophobia has serious implications to peoples akin to the tribalism perpetrated against certain tribes in Zambia today. There is a lesson to learn from all concerned. Stop it
Great job! After this, put on black at Parliament building against a no-show MPs xenophobic H-organisation. A party that has Malema for a friend and their thieving leader CHILDISH.
This obsession with H-??? is freaking excessively monotonous!
Trying hard to coin a name or word that is unfortunately not catchy.
Older women marrying youngermen and women proposing to men are now trendy!
If you have a crush on him approach him – the world has transistioned.
We now christen you Mrs Sharon Hagain!
Typo on
“transitioned”.
SA under apartheid was good. At least there were no these rabid dogs that are killing fellow Africans. Botha, knew how to deal with such. It was pointless dispensing with apartheid regime. Under apartheid they were being killed like rabid dog without any remorse. The white regime knew that the only way to exterminate such morons was to kill them ruthless. It was right in one way or another. How I wished such a regime was back just to cartel the savagery that is happening there. Apartheid was a good ideology which would not have been discarded.
Your foolishness is quite commendable. It is of an extremely high order.
Rabid dogs? Really
Cyril Ramaphosa as Vice President of South Africa under Jacob Zuma was very quick to order the police to shoot protesting miners at Marikana because he wanted to protect his business interests. Julius Malema always talks about it in detail. Cyril is not in a hurry to stop this crime because it doesn’t affect him directly. South Africa is isolating itself and the consequences will be harsh. Woe to those politicians to rush there for treatment whenever they are sick. Zimbabwe has an opportunity to create a dry port where goods going to RSA can be offload and those coming North can be picked. Zambia can do the same for DRC. It’s an opportunity for business
Wise man from the east , uli chipuba and very myopic. You are a devil and sadist.You are just jelous because you are very broke and you have no initiative on how you will feed your family. Maybe your relatives are all dead. People that have gone to work in south Africa and else were have gone there to earn a living decently, not to steal or engage in corruption like you do in your country Zambia.Every month they send money to their families in Zambia to support them .Do you think that if all zambians in diaspora came back would they get employed in Zambia ?The answer is no.You cannot condemn them for having used their brains to migrate abroad and able to lead adescent life and support families in Zambia.It is only that our barbaric brothers and sisters in South Africans think Africans…
Please do some research. Ask yourself why Zambia uses the busiest and a the most sophisticated port in Africa even though it’s thousands of kilometres away
Guys show displeasure even over the happenings in Zambia also. Electricity, akabunga, corruption, water and many more
What response is that? You are insulting the intelligence of the many here.
When is the protest for the 48 houses, fire tenders ,topstar deal, toll gates, high cost of living etc coming?
@kalu
Iwe galu, there will be no such protests on where you force people to protest against government. It cant happen.
I think he is UNELECTABLE and Hazaluza Hagain.
Protest against what is happening in you country, Leave South africa alone.Let those Economical refugees leave South Africa. Go back to your countries and sort out your country’s economical problems. You cowards, you are alike a father who runs away from home when there are problems, expecting the wife to sort out. If you are a businessman go and do business in your country, the same with maids, drivers, prostitutes, and the alike. The ones complaining are the ones in inform operations, no executive or management personnel. Go back, at least we should receive you alive.
South Africans baya saana. They are behaving as foooools.
I think you are a fool here. SA business are biggest tax payers in Zambia and all other countries they are operating. To attack them is like removing your nose to spite the face. The future of Zambia look bleak UNZA (glorified high school) think at that level.
You are foolish inded
The problems with South Africans is that they don’t see beyond their noses. They think they are the best and that all African countries can only survive on them. They don’t understand that even them depend on others. That is what they suffer from. Zambians please come home it is sweeter to be at home with all the freedom than to be a country where you are living under fear.
They forget there are so many of them making a living in foreign countries. Let all Africans living leave that country and we all boycott their goods. Let see if they will survive.
We survived before when you were still using stones to wipe your behinds. Now you can use SA produced toilet paper and you are talking too much.
I am high school dropout better than a postgraduate UNZA (glorified high school) students
Why peace demo as though they are peaceful as they demosnstrate against xenophobia. Hammer them where its painful!!!!!!!!!!!!! after meeting their stupid commisioner on your way back to your campuses you will be thirsty and hungry, so help yourselves with free food and drinks in any South African shop based in Zambia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lets see how they will feel………………backwards people!!!!!!!!!!!! Ba Changwa support us on this like what other preisdents have done so far nigeria, uganda, malawi, etc. cancel the WEF. Thank chipolopolo game is canceled with rats called bafanabafana………….

South African is a worst nationality ever,that’s all i can say,its good am not the president otherwise,i can deport them all.
Shoprite only is the biggest tax payer in Zambia, but students studying useless degrees don’t know that.
@ mbangi you can go wipe your a,s.s with shoprite I don’t care. In fact I wish that shop would just pack up and go.
Consider holding mock funerals at the embassy for any person they kill regardless of nationality
LETS START HAMMERING THEM ALSO. TIT-FOR-TAT. Let them feel the pain that we feel when they kill our brothers and sisters. Lets close their shops and let them go back also. They feel we cannot do anything to harm them – we can. And those SA black moro.ns are the worst savages lets teach them a lesson also.
Their chi president is the worst ever and he should be removed by force.
Malema do something we dont need that corrupt to the core president in SA. Just like you managed to remove Zuma.
Disaster bane!!!!
Go on and reduce your tax base. !diots with useless degrees.
Let south Africans leave other countries before acting so stupidly. Let them close multchoicr,supermarkets and all other south African shops like Edgar’s, woolworth etc. Actually let’s all boycott buying from their shops and let’s see how they will treat their perishables.
SAY NO TO SOUTH AFRICA AND SAY NO TO XENOPHOBIA!!!!
Go on and reduce your tax base. !diots with useless degrees.
“Wise man from the east”
You shudn’t be reminded of South Africans living not only in Zambia but all over the World. This world is now a global village. Let me also take this opportunity to thank students from Higher institutions of learning in Lsk for protesting peacefully and let’s all demand for change in the manner the SA gov’t has been handling this matter.

It is only that our barbaric brothers and sisters in South Africans think Africans are the one taking their wealthy forgetting that their wealthy is in the hands of South African whites who cannot give them jobs because they have never been to school. Are you aware that zambians in diaspora globally contribute to the zambian economy by sending money every month to their relatives living in Zambia and roughly about $5 million or more is sent to Zambia every month to support their relatives…
This xenophobia is nothing new in SA; in the late 1940s it started with Zulu attacks on the businesses of Indians in Natal which were later revealed to be inspired by Whites. It amounts to scapegoating a minority to turn the attention away from serious economic deficiencies. It may not be a deliberate policy but it is easy to orchestrate. South Africa is an economic disaster but the politicians who are now mega-rich continue to point at White Minority Capital. Note the following report:
Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams, our Minister of Communications, released a statement on the tragic murder of Uyinene: “I am deeply disturbed by the fact Ms Mrwetyana has met her untimely and gruesome death at the hands of one of our own.”
One doesn’t require a D.Litt to interpret Stella’s euphemism, nor to…
Continued: One doesn’t require a D.Litt to interpret Stella’s euphemism, nor to detect that it is a politicized statement rather than an expression of condolence and that Stella is a racist. It’s the sort of statement that Verwoerd might have made had a similar fate befallen ‘one of his own’, before his demise.
Poor Stella has spent her whole life, dedicated to and employed by the ANC or government. She has remained faithful from the early embittered days of ANCYL. According to the Sunday Times, as a Minister in 2016 her package would have been R12.8 million and on ‘Information Cradle’ her total worth is listed as $12 mil (R180 mil), not bad for a government and political party worker!
I love the multi-culturalism of our new South Africa. Slowly but surely, South Africans at…
Continued: I love the multi-culturalism of our new South Africa. Slowly but surely, South Africans at grass level have realised the horrific burden of Apartheid. I see the majority of Afrikaners have happily embraced equality for all. On the issue of capital, Ramaphosa is worth R6.4 billion (US$ 550 million, his brother-in-law Patrice Motsepe R30 billion (US 2.1 billion), their other brother Jeff Radebe (R6.4 billion) Radebe’s wife (R1 billion). Without even adding in the other two wives we’re looking at over R50 billion in one tiny family grouping. Is this not BMC (Black Minority Capital). The estimation of total ANC fraud through State Capture is R1.6 trillion. WMC is an excuse to grab whatever they can and dish out the worst state education in Africa and continue to supply water and…
Continuing: The estimation of total ANC fraud through State Capture is R1.6 trillion. WMC is an excuse to grab whatever they can and dish out the worst state education in Africa and continue to supply water and other services to the majority of South Africans by annual tender rather than install plumbing, which accountants estimate could be done nationally with one year of the annual total spent on tenders.
SA has continued to back up Mugabe and ZANU PFs last election victory was in 2004. But Mbeki turned a blind eye. ZANU PF and the ANC have much in common and show nothing in common with the people of their countries. Ramaphosa’s pre-election speech addressed the issue of ‘too many Zimbabweans’, not knowledging that is SA support of ZANU PF that has created the situation.
Your points are really good and educational. You can articulate them by submitting an article on this forum. I feel you have a lot more to say.
Ramaposa is just as hopeless and useless as ECL.
SA as a country and it’s infrastructure was left behind by the White rulers, there were never ever any xenophobic attacks during that time, now under ANC it is there.
The SA government is happy to let it ride just to stay in power, not that different to PF.
Shame on Africa
The next protest won’t be against Xenophobia but against PF!
Erratic Power Supply will depress our economy further and ultimately touch the staple food! Only a political novice won’t know what political dynamite mealie meal is! Ask KK and RB!
