Banda defends Chinese over shooting
2010-10-21
Lusaka - President Rupiah Banda on Thursday urged Zambians not to condemn Chinese managers for shooting 12 workers at Maamba Collum coal mine, saying other people also shoot their employees.
“Let’s be careful that we do not single out people. Every day people are shot at by Zambians, whites, Americans. This business of ‘Chinese, Chinese’, we should not create a phobia against people,” Banda said.
The two Chinese nationals have been charged with attempted murder for allegedly shooting randomly at Zambian miners who protested poor working conditions at their Chinese-run mine last Friday.
