DO not give away jobs for Zambians to foreigners, South African High Commissioner to Zambia Moses Chikane has advised.
In an interview, High Commissioner Chikane said that it was possible to achieve a higher employment rate in view of the current economic growth and increased investments Zambia was experiencing.
He observed that the benefits from Zambia’s economic growth recorded due to increased foreign investments was not trickling down to the majority because it was not creating jobs for them.
“Foreign investments must translate into job creation. Zambians should not give away jobs to foreigners. We should create jobs for Zambians, that’s the only way you (government) can distribute wealth amongst your people,” High Commissioner Chikane said.
He said that the government should take advantage of the steady growth of the country’s economy by creating more employment for Zambians.
