$15m is peanuts. We should be ashamed to accept such beggary gestures as they show that we are a very poor country. We are not. We can easily generate $15m from our own resources, like mining and tourism. Let us operate at the level of the resources God has given us. We are worth billions of dollars. That’s how much we have within the Zambian soil.

Poverty is a mind thing.

Too much small print in this grant, i can guarantee you that any construction projects will contracted to the Chinese firms…this is the Dead Aid…Ms. Dambiso Moyo was talking about, completely unnecessary.

And this thing about the Confucious institute of the University of Zambia! Do we really need Confucious in Zed????????? We do not need to import demons into our country. We already have too many from our own ancestors.

And am sure the Chinese have already chosen which Chinese company will do the projects and pocket the money.
Yet UKWA was all over RB about single sourcing

the official emphasized the need for the two countries not to do anything that may undermine the relations, adding that there is need to continue building up on the relation. This sentence needs further explanations, so it means whatever chinese dictate UKWA’S GOVT. Should follow hahhaha….Anyway Congrats to PF and the team
