NOW, IF YOU CAN WORRY ABOUT THE SELLING BUSINESS BEING TAKEN OVER BY CHINESE, YOU GOT ANOTHER THING COMING WHEN ZAMBIA BECOMES A DUAL STATE. BECAUSE, ITS REAL JOBS WHICH WILL BE SCRAMBLED BY OTHER ZAMBIANS OF DIFFERENT NATIONALITY ORIGINS. SINCE MOST ZAMBIANS ARE POOR- RICH ZAMBIANS OF SAY, NIGERIAN ORIGIN WILL EASILY BE BRIBING EMPLOYMENT AGENTS AND NO ZAMBIAN WILL EVER GET A JOB WHEN THE NEW CONSTITUTION IS ENACTED WITH A DUAL NATIONALITY LAW ENFORCED. DID YOU REALLY SERIOUSLY THINK ABOUT THE DUAL NATIONALITY CLAUSE- IF YOU CAN EASILY WORRY ABOUT A CHINESE SELLING TOMATOES WHICH HE PROBABLY GREW IN HIS BACKYARD?
WHATS WRONG WITH A CHINESE SELLING TOMATOES? CHINESE DO A LOT OF GARDENING. SO, YOU EXPECT THEM TO SELL THE SURPLUS. OR DO YOU WANT THEM TO THROW AWAY THE SURPLUS?
WHEN the Chinese were living peacefully as communists everyone despised them. They have perfected the art of capitalism and everyone is frightened of them.
China is clever, that’s a an intelligence offer under cover.
What is wrong with a Chinese growing tomatoes and selling them at the market? Many of you Zambians are too smart to grow tomatoes. You would rather work in an office. If a Chinese sees a business opportunity in farming, you criticize him. Mind you, the world is becoming a global village. I have been to countries like Malawi and Tanzania where Zambians are in all sorts of businesses and the locals are not victimizing them. I advise you to stop thinking like Mugabe. He thought by chasing those whites, he was going to improve the economy. The country which was once the food basket of southern Africa is now depending on handouts. We need all investors, whether small or big. Their collective contribution is what will take the country forward. We just need to ensure that they pay tax, take care of the environment they are operating in and have respect for labour laws.
what is wrong is about the work permit. it does not allow such. A work permit can allow a Chinese to grow tomatoes on a large scale so that he creates jobs, generates foreigners currency through exports, provides business to local suppliers such nitrogen chemicals (fertilizer), etc. The people who are supposed to sell at the market are the Zambian traders who buy from him. if he cultivates tomatoes at a low scale or sells at the market, then he is depriving the locals of such opportunities-that is the international practice, it is there everywhere.
Have u read his work permit there is nothing wrong with this
Iwe chi Den Freezes uli chikopo. All work permits do not allow foreigners to do such retail business. so you should not expect e legitimate permit to allow that. If you see nothing wrong with this then you just one of the many Zambians described as useful idiots. this why the country does not develop, too many people who think like you!!!Is our country cursed or what?
Are you sure he came on a work permit? or a business permit?
Below are Zambia’s various permits:
Residence Permit for a person aged sixteen years and above
Temporary Residence
Diplomatic permit
Spouse Permit
visiting VISA
Study Permit
employment permit
Investor’s permit
Cross border permit

Cum’on critics,he come in as an investor in the farming sector.You can see where he is standing that he is selling tomatoes in crates meaning at order price.What do you expect him to do. To stay home after producing so me hectares of tomatoes? The photo journalists was just excited for zuji.
stay in a civilized world soon this world will be come a global village if he is not commiting any crime leave him to sale his tomatoes
He is an investor i believe?
THIS IS NONSENSE
No, this is not a result of free trade and privatisation: those two things have absolutely nothing to do with a foreigner who is in the country on a work permit for a specific job who decides to flaunt our immigration laws. The cameraman should have taken his pictures to immigration and this China man would be on his way back to China. Let’s not accept such nonsense.
But whats wrong with a foreigner doing business like selling tomatoes? What rule is he flaunting? Had he been employed you would probably have an argument
