Zambia's Foreign Minister Stanley Kakubo Resigns Amidst Public Backlash Over Alleged

Foreign Minister Resignation: Zambia's Foreign Minister, Stanley Kakubo, has resigned from his position after a two-year tenure.

Public Outcry and Social Media Controversy: Kakubo's decision to step down follows a public outcry and social media frenzy over alleged business dealings with a Chinese businessman. A video circulating on Zambian social media showed individuals counting large sums of cash on a table.

Malicious Claims and Handwritten Note: In a resignation letter, Kakubo cited malicious claims related to a business transaction. An image of a signed handwritten note surfaced online, mentioning a $100,000 exchange between a Chinese mining firm and a Zambian mining firm, with Kakubo and another person named Zang also mentioned.

Unverified Details: The authenticity of the details in the handwritten note, including the alleged transaction involving Kakubo and the Chinese businessman, could not be immediately verified.

Chinese Presence in Zambia: The presence of Chinese firms in Zambia, particularly in the mining industry, is not new. China has significant investments in Zambia, and Chinese enterprises play a crucial role in the country's mining sector, a key component of Zambia's economy.
