Meanwhile in Zambia you have drunks ruling, that just dance, consume & misappropriate donor funds & G©©ns who receive crumbs from the “Corruption high table” who will defend the mismanagement tooth & nail despite them being aware the current P.F leadership is clueless & damaging the Nation by the hour.
let us avoid this way of correcting leaders. Offer suggestions and insist on how best we could do things. Tell me what action or advice a leader would get out of such contributions. absolutely zero. waste of space.
Lusaka City Council owns Lusaka City Clothing, let them be given resources to start producing all that.
Opportunity to reopen Mulungushi textiles.
Unfortunately Zambia is waiting for used face masks from Wuhan, they are saying PF masks can’t prevent coronavirus.
Just from that announcement Ghana stock market performance.
The current GSE market capitalization is GHS 55.44 billion. … Regarding the performance of GSE market indices, the benchmark GSE Composite Index (GSE-CI) moved up 18.04 (0.86%) points to close at 2,124.62, representing a 1-week loss of 0.5%, a 4-week loss of 2.58%, and an overall year-to-date loss of 5.87%.
Lusaka’s stock exchange no information.
PF and UPND time-out
With Lungu’s dysfunctional government don’t expect anything from this lazy man. Corona virus will take time to wipe in Lusaka and it will wipe many in your homes and this not a prophesy but reality on the ground is seen. The PF government they are clueless and many of us in danger.
Where is Mulungushi Textiles which someone falsely reopened whilst looking for votes from docile kabwe voters?
Bravo!
But we too in Zambia have some things we can be proud of
1. we produce 48 houses owned by a ghost
2. We produce 1 million dollars for a scania
3. We produce a 316km road for 1.2 billion usd
4. We send 25 man delegations with a personal chef to the US to get ancient fire engines from the 70s.
5. We buy ambulances for mpre than 300K USD which donors buy at one third the price and donate to us
6. We produce ministers who where poppers yesterday and then suddenly they can have 17million ZMW and 6 million USD in their bank accounts
7. We produce a kaponya from ndola who offer to give chinese crooks access to the president for a bribe. even pointing at the flag on his car to assurw them of getting access
8. We have a teacher whose only skill is corruption and violence.
Well I…
Meanwhile in Zambia they are waiting for donations from Chinese Billionaire Jack Ma and Chilufya is sitting on coffers…if you were a clothing company in Zambia I doubt this govt can even part pay you in advance for this service. There is a serious lack of leadership …Mulungushi Textile is just sitting there as they have given it to the Chinks who wouldnt want to compete with their racist brothers and sisters back home for the black man why should they? Kenya is already doing this…our health workers are getting infected because of lack of PPE
Bandit President Lungu and criminal Chilufya busy getting millions from the chinese billionaire Jack ma…..do you think they really care about Zambia….just their pockets and no wonder Bandit Lungu is now one of the richest Presidents in Africa….and this is the man who’s Bank balance was less than US$2000 when he was declaring his assets to run for President….and he stole money from a widow
Countries like Turkey have quickly up-scaled production of PPE to capitualize on demand in Europe to the point where UK has sent a military aircraft to get that cargo…the US is also waiting on orders. All these garments have set specifications to follow any clothing manufacturer can do it especially in Africa where unemployment is high.
These leaders in Zambia dont have the mindset…they are just good at signing loans just look at how Lungu got rid of NW Province Police Commissioner reason being Zambians are helping themselves to gold which is in their river…meanwhile he let off FQM with a billion dollar court case.
I have no words to say here kikikiki. Okay let me try. Chiluba in all his dulness with his friends sold all our mines and parastatals. That dude was the worst leader Zambia ever had. These companies would have been producing items for all Zambians at record times and efficiency.
Nzelu – We had Serials (Not sure if its correct spelling) in Ndola that manufactured shirts, suits, officers uniforms …the Chiluba govt just cut them all out without any thought now we have these empty tins who are importing 42000 prison uniforms, thousands of boots from India and China imagine how much employment such an order brings into the economy?
Tarino Orange, the name of the clothing company is Serios. One interesting piece of information is, this clothing company used to export to the UK market.
***** of Nagasaki – Thanks for that I used to wear their shirts in secondary school but then they were closing down after 1991. I watched a clip of the tour of the company site which is just rubble now on Facebook by one passionate Zambian Engineer Kasonde Mwenda, its still there on his page.
