Three events that prove Zambia – or Chambia – is China’s first African colony

Chinese men caught offering military training to Zambians.

Two Chinese nationals were caught last week in Livingstone for taking nine Zambians wearing military fatigue through an illegal military training.

The 11 suspects were in possession of one pistol, seven shotguns and one big air gun with a box containing shotgun ammunition, reports local media Lusaka Times.

The nine Zambians were reported to be members of a private security firm and were wearing uniforms that looked similar to those of the National Parks and Wildlife Authority.

The Southern Province Police Commissioner, Bonnie Kapeso said in a statement that the Chinese trainers had imported the military fatigue from China.

The police said they didn’t have any authorization to conduct training without clearance from the police and the matter will be investigated.
