  1. I have found it a bit difficult to trust some Indian investors there records of investments are quite poor, eg Vendata and Binnan of lwanshya really what was their aim, was it just coming to steal or what better they are scrutinised before they come.

    • These are the only two you know… coz Indians do more Corporate social responsibility than any other nation… and fyi indians are peace loving too… not like chinese who are making a debt trap and really buying the whole country… you should really see some facts before you speak…

  2. Why would Indian Investors want to invest in Zambia when Vedanta an existing Indian Investor is being expropriated by the Zambian Govt? It doesn’t make sense. ECL will have to assure the Indian Govt that Vedanta will be paid adequate compensation for the loss of 80% of their Shareholding in KCM. Zambia cannot just takeover KCM without paying Damages and Compensation.
