Zambian FM Kakubo Resigns After Getting Caught with Chinese Cash? | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Zambia's foreign Minister Stanley Kakubo has resigned from his post. This was after a video allegedly showed him taking thousands of dollars worth of cash from Chinese businessmen.
The Zambia-based Chinese businessmen apparently bought a mine from Kakubo for $200,000 and a Mercedes-Benz.
The minister was forced to resign after public outrage, but denies any wrongdoing.
Did the Chinese buyers leak the video in an act of revenge?
Palki Sharma tells you more.

There are two types of politicians in these countries. The ones that got caught and the ones that haven't.
"No one should be allowed to exploit a country for one Mercedes Benz" Absolutely brilliant!

Shame. Being a Zambian, I am not proud of this. These guys could be more corrupt than the previous guys. The previous guys showed off their character but the current ones are pretending to be angels. The pretenders are usually the most dangerous. I cry for my country

No. Nothing to be ashamed of. In South Africa my country they don't resign. They get rewarded by getting second terms. That your guy resigned, he should get more kudos for doing the honorable thing. 🇿🇦
As a Zambian proud of his Heritage, I have to say it Boggs my mind how we boast of these natural recourses that we don't own as the Zambian people and whose resources we have hardly benefited from. We are still the 4th most poorest country in the world with over 80%poverty rate. and all we here is discoveries of new mineral reserves and from there no one knows what happens. makes no sense to me at all. It's shameful

Zambia is an chinese colony.
The resignation of the foreign minister, despite denying corruption allegations, adds an intriguing layer to the story, suggesting a potential rift between the minister and his Chinese partners.
The chinese businessman Fuukyou Chan wants his Benz and money back 😂
I am in the United States, and every day, I watch this lady report the news from around the world.
The real question is that how much money Zambian president got?
Our beloved Africa, it's man for himself the rest die.
speaking of potential corruption.. your reporting is very rich in mind capturing. always glue people's attention to factual thursting.you are the definetion of the phrase " the world is the grobal village".
Palki being able to pronounce Kakubo same way Zambians do😮 as for the corrupt ex-minister, we hope the president will come out clean on this one & allow for justice to prevail

Hi Palki I like your balanced reporting on this copper mine scandal to the effect there is no concrete evidence to incriminate the Zambian Govt Minister. Keep up the good work
Brilliant report. Leaving no stone unturned

You have left out the other evidence found the acknowledgement of receipt 📝 note with his National Registration Number, his names and signature 😂😂😂 What a disgrace
Thanks Palki…..very sad situation. 😢😢😢😢😢
Watching from zambia
Powerful introductions, keep reporting on the case.
This channel of palk shama is able in all angles. I like how they can research and avoid propaganda like other media ❤
Corruption & politicians nothing uncommon....most countries have same combination 🤦
This minister even had the courtesy to step down. Over here in 9ja, the person will still hold on to the keys to the Benz and that of his/her ministerial office.

I think president HH will respond and I am pretty sure this man was asked to resign. Such an embarrassing situation not shocking at all.
Talk about Vedanta in Zambia too and their dealings😅
I've always followed you and you're just great. Am from Zambia
Well reported, thank you!!
To all my fellow Zambians I say this: one day tukaiponona nama politicians misula shabo
It's the fact that he is still a sitting MP despite all the evidence of corruption that boggles my mind.
There should be mob justice.cz resignation is nothing.
Good reporting palki
This man respect his country by taking responsibility of his action. It can't happen in Nigeria even on live video that politician will deny it and urge you to go to court.
Mr kamubo let's share that money,but very shame mwatusebanya and mwasebanya zambia.
What business gets stacks of cash? Why not a certified check??? Corruption!!!
Well the same things happening in Jamaica 🇯🇲
Zambia as resources to pay debt and still remain w with endless riches but why are they still owing?
This man made it to Palki Sharma's files. Its late for him😂
When the followership is ignorant and unconcerned about national affairs, leadership most likely becomes abusive and takes advantage
Not for a car but for you beautiful Palki we all should do everything.
tough!
He should be tried and if finned guilty, charged and put in prison
The same thing happened in Ghana and the question is did our leaders think of tomorrow or only their political issues and the pocket 🤔
Bakakubo na musebana 😂😂😂😢 yangu mayo
Nah, some will exploit it for 2 Mercedes’ Benz. Sad.
This is common practice all over the world.
Zambia has been giving away their resources for decades. Didn't they default on a loan and now China owns their ports and electricity?
Only one that got caught!!! Hundreds more unnoticed
That's so sad for my country
Another one bites the dusk!
😂😂😂😂 who didn’t know it
Finally....
I didn't heard this until now.
Oh well, all of us in Southern Africa are suffering from these Chinese and some greedy politicians. How can one man want to buy a 200k car 😂
This is happening in all parts of Africa making our continent poorer and its population as well. Thanks to the 21st century technology.
Mines should belong to the country/government where it's not any individual
Him selling the mine was not a problem I feel his doom came when he tried to sell it again to another person now that's fraud
That merc and money should be returned and the Chinese company expelled from the country
A freaking car for a country natural resources, this is beyond stupidity. He better face some serious jail time
200,000 for a mine? What's the value of the mine? Zambia's government is known for selling mines for a tiny fraction of what they're worth
this is embarrassing the President is trying hard to end corruption at all cost .

Why is it even called luxury? It was a 2018 used Mercedes Benz. It’s really sad
African will never change
These Chinese should also be arrested for trying to cheat in order to get mine.
The FM should be careful. He should return the Chinese money and Mercedes, otherwise the Chinese will bump him off. They don't take being deceived lightly.
It can't happen in Malawi but those raising that complaint will be arrest
How can one person own resources that belongs to nation corruption i condem that is why young Africa can't sleep such act should not be tolerate
What a sad shame
He should be CHARGED WITH A CRIME.
Oh the shortsightedness and greed of many African politicians!
In Malawi the vice president is on court bail and attending to court proceedings but is still working as vice president of Malawi attending to government functions together with the president. This is how rotten Africa is becoming.
