China is in Zambia and Africa for business not for charity or donations. Get this into your head. There are no free things in this world including loans from China. We will have to pay all our loans otherwise they will grab parts of the country one way or the other. They have already done so in Sri Lanka

Yes I can tell you those bricks are from South Africa. But why? When Zambia has such a lot of experience in brickmaking and different types of soil that one can be creative with? I only see red bricks and cement bricks in Zambia.

Would nor be surprised if those bricks are imported from SA. We have cleaning companies, security guards firms, money lenders, siphoning our forex. Only a foolish nation would allow for such in the midst of forex scarcity.

The point is that we should push our Zambian companies towards producing quality products and services in order to be more competitive in this world.

The chickens have come home to roost.

When building flats I wanted to buy bricks and pavers from Zambian producers, but I was disappointed with the poor quality of bricks and pavers they sold me… Self inflicted wounds indeed.. no repeat business when the quality is poor!!
