It is difficult to really understand our governments policies. The government wants to create employment for Zambian Citizens. It is therefore surprising how and why foreigners are being allowed into the country as expertriates taking up JOBS that Zambians can do.
For example I work for Total Zambia Limited, the Oil Marketing company, for fear of descrimination I will with hold my name. In Total Zambia, all the high positions have been taken by foreigners (whites), position of Finance Director is an Indian from Mauritius who is not qualified to be a finance Director and ZICA has refused to recognise him as such and has therefore been given a funny title of GENERAL SECRETARY on paper but he performs all duties of the Finance Director and is known as the FD in the office and by all Bankers. There are very qualified Zambian who can do this JOB.
The Sales and Marketing Manager is a Briton. Operations manager is a Foreigner am not sure where he is from. Let me also add that the Job of operations manager was held by a Zambian. He resigned and Total decided to bring a foreigner since they find it so easy to bring all these rerafs here as no one opposes them.
I challenge the Minister of Labour and the Minister of Home affairs to look into how all these foreigners are being allowed in Zambia and getting Job permits. This is too much and it really hurts to see these people taking our jobs and getting paid so much money yet we get paid peanuts.
