British army trains Zambian security wings in anti-poaching skills

1. The biggest problem we have is a Minister who writes letters to authorize the capture and transfer of wild animals to private ranches, please train us on how to deal with him before elections. When Richwell Siamunene deployed army officers in the game parks it was very senior Government officials that began to fight him. Sylvia Masebo almost went to prison because of the same cartel

2. what game park does the british have to come and train people that have grown up with the said animals, the african mindset beats me ???

   • Tobey Chanda it’s like someone teaching you how to raise or provide for your own kids. Who bewitched us kansi.

   • Tobey Chanda my thought exactly! Do they also consider umfwiti?

     2

   • Emmanuel Chikopela ????

   • Mwanza Brian imagine?! who ever has bewitched us should have mercy

   • Tobey Chanda imagine ayini

   • Tobey Chanda tobey its new technic

   • Stephen Mulamata bakalamba had the new technic come from Kenya or South Africa I would accept ??

     2

   • Tobey Chanda even South Africa accepts training from other countries. None of us have the funds to research it ourselves, so if Britain wants to help, why not?

   • Karen Ramsay if you had read my initial post I think you’d understand, I asked what game parks do the british have to use as their training ground for them to aquire the much needed knowledge to impart on the Zambian game rangers?

   • Tobey Chanda They travel all over the world doing research and working in the field. Although they do have National parks and poaching has been going on there since the year dot.

     1

   • Tobey Chanda Also, they are able to raise funds in sterling which goes a long way in rands or kwacha ?

     1

   • Tobey Chanda, imagine the nonsense ?

   • Tobey Chanda me too

   • Emmanuel Chikopela Though they may not have national parks for their training, they have military tactics that can be adapted to fight poaching. Surveillance etc might be important in that training

     2

   • Obed Chanda and tracking. It’s all that tactical stuff. If they could find Osama bin Laden, I’m sure they can find poachers!

     1

   • Karen Ramsay befriend a game ranger n find out how sophisticated poachers are with juju

     1

   • Karen Ramsay indeed. People look at these things in a narrow way.

   • Tobey Chanda do research before u comment. Do u know the patron of wildlife in common wealth countries? How many elephants were restocked in Zambia in the last two years with funding from where?

3. They came in the name of teaching them and for three weeks their were teaching they have taken alot or animal and treasures with us knowing in the name of practicals.

   • Moses Simuchimba i do not believe that at all

   • Wayne Duckett but what’s their interest

   • Moses Simuchimba you think everyone who helps 3rd world countries are bad, then look at yourself first…internally

   • Moses Simuchimba maybe say no the the worlds aid and see how you prosper

4. In addition, the British embrace animals. They don’t poach them!

10. Benjamin Simbeye????? come here

11. The British still has a firm grip on whatever is precious, pretend to help while cleverly steeling ivory and many other trophy from you, this how they became rich here you are busy fighting each other, when the white Man first landed on the African soil he found many precious minerals while owners where in deep deep slumber!!!. We are still in deep slumber.

12. All the way from England where there are no animals, to come and teach us anti poaching technics, us who grew up and live with animals. Who are supposed to know the behaviour of these animals, we even know the poachers personally, but they must still teach us and we accept. Who bewitched us?

    • Kennedy Mkanda Sikombe my thoughts

    • Kennedy Mkanda Sikombe sir how are you?

13. The ignorance displayed in the comment section is appalling. What’s wrong with British forces, who by the way are more technically and tactfully advanced to train our men and women in uniform. Training programs are done everywhere around the globe so what’s the fuss. To those saying Britain does not have National Parks, do your your research before speaking/typing. Some pride is uneccessary.

    • Kayula Katebe we should be able to teach the British in things found in here. You seem more knowledgeable how many game parks are in Britain? Are you talking of the zoo they make with animals from Africa. You even get appalled with people expressing themselves. No research needed my dear there are no national parks in Britain , it makes sense even to have Kenya train us on this .

      3

    • Michael M Muyakwa like i said, do your research. Kenya is equally a beneficiary of such training programs so i dont know what you are talking about.

    • Kayula Katebe I’m saying no research needed we all know Britain have NO national parks.

    • Some pride actually is necessary

    • Michael M Muyakwa your ignorance is alarming

    • Mubiana Musole they are made those parks with animals from Africa. They have nothing to compare with our national parks. I know your problem, everything from Europe is the best. They learned more than they taught our men but again I can’t change your mind set.

    • Michael M Muyakwa ahhhh ???Dead, the animals in those parks don’t even exist in Africa because of difference in climate they are indigenous to the European climate ??it’s not everything that you can argue about without facts sir as if it’s soccer lol sometimes utilize a book or the internet before you comment least you embarrass yourself sir please

    • Mubiana Musole this is a park with beautiful landscapes, cycling and walking locations. I have been there , I’m talking about animals , the big five Mr Mubiana. Tourism and hospitality is my career I’m not talking from without don’t call me names.

    • Now who told you poaching is only a problem for the big five?

    • Mubiana Musole why are you coming out like we are fighting . I have lived in Britain trained there in international tourism and hospitality. I have been to those parks I don’t need to go on internet . This is not politics and it’s not about winning try to get sense in what I’m saying.

    • Mubiana Musole where is this coming from ? I have people we reason with about this , I think this is not worth my time , your language too is not worth the conversation.

14. In Africa we are very dull , the only way to stop poaching is by zawa to open up shops for game meat so people can easily buy from them , like that poaching will reduce very much in Zambia

16. Good morning from England my father was an RSM in Zambia in the 60t’s he was awarded the Meritorious Medal from Zambia 45 years later!! He taught Officer cadets who he sent to Sandhurst here in the UK. He saved many many lives in Zambia by driving a loaded Landrover to a quarry where he blew it up away from everyone 250lbs of sweating dynamite. He was on contract from the UK we lived and loved Zambia and its people we didn’t steal or take anything from Zambia as a few have thought? The Brits don’t want ivory like some around the world do?? We aid countries and help we educate and indeed try to keep world peace.We work hard to maintain civil peace keeping whilst training other people and educating people too. We also put our hands in our pockets to charities even though people here cannot…

17. This is very strange to see…how can the British who don’t have parks and Poachers like us come and teach Zambians how to fight a local poacher..this means either the Zambian security personnel are too shallow and can’t think on their own..or the are just here to follow a pattern they have followed in the failed Afghanistan of teaching locals how to raise goats in their own country

25. Rather late, coming out to help at dusk when you should have been here at dawn. And presumably, these guys will have licence to kill any would be poachers?? This is wrong. You will get better outcomes by:- 1. Tackling the market for poached stuff (ivory etc.) 2. Involving Chiefs and local people in conservation. 3. Allowing locals seasonal hunting of select animals for own consumption. And finally, not imposing on locals – but working with them.
