So has the good times finally come to an end? Has Africa been sufficiently shaken out of its monied lull to see the threat in front of it? Or will it take several more countries becoming de-facto Chinese colonies before African Heads of State become, at the very least, outraged enough to speak loudly about it?
I'm sure there are a few who are saying "I told you so" and
Govt Deports Prof PLO Lumumba
The lawyer was scheduled to deliver a public lecturer on China-Africa relations on Saturday night at Eden University.
PLO's lecture was to be centered on the theme 'Africa in the age of China influence and global geo-dynamics.”
After several attempts to get into the country, Zambian government officials stopped negotiation with PLO from the moment he landed at the Kenneth Kaunda International Airport, sending him back to the immigration department.

He was expected to deliver a speech on Chinese investment in Africa at Golden Peacock Hotel in Lusaka this evening.
Note that Zambia is now a China colony after failing to repay debts owed on time, the Kenneth Kaunda International Airport is now owned by China as well as other strategic installations.

The lawyer is a popular public speaker who is known for his pan-African views. The news of his deportation was covered by Kenya's press.
His deportation is being seen as an attempt by Zambia's authorities to stifle any negative discussion around its friendship with China amidst allegations that the government has accumulated a lot of debt by borrowing from the Asian economic giant.
Recently, the government rejected reports that it used some key public assets - such as the national broadcaster, the state-owned power company, Zesco, and the Kenneth Kaunda International Airport - as collateral for the loans.
China denied these allegations as well.
The deportation of Lumumba follows similar actions in recent months against South African opposition leader Mmusi Maimane and South African entertainer Rebecca Libram, popularly known as Zodwa Wabantu.
In August, Zimbabwean opposition figure Tendai Biti was arrested and handed back to authorities in that country after a failed attempt to seek asylum in Zambia.

Or will it take several more countries becoming de-facto Chinese colonies before African Heads of State become, at the very least, outraged enough to speak loudly about it?
