Ndambo refutes claims that his firm was operating at Kasumbales­a border post

- By NATION REPORTER

BUSINESS tycoon James Ndambo’s family have refuted media reports suggesting that the Zambian government had prevented his company from running the Kasumbales­a border post .

Media allegation­s have accused Mr. Ndambo of making illicit profits at the said border post .

But a family representa­tive Mr. Fortune Ndambo said that Mr. Ndambo had no connection with the said transactio­ns.

“Mr James Ndambo had no relationsh­ip or connection with Zambia IP Border Crossing Company (ZIpBCC) nor was there a contract or concession indirectly or directly with ZRA at Kasumbales­a border post,” he said.

He added that it has been a public knowledge over the past 12 years that a Jewish company operated the contract under discussion.

Mr James Ndambo is a Zambian born business tycoon based in South Africa.

In a statement from the family said Mr. James Ndambo never had a contract with Zambia Revenue Authority in Kasumbales­a.

The Ndambo family is flabbergas­ted by media reports published by some overzealou­s malicious online publicatio­n dated 2nd March 2023 purporting that the Zambian government had stopped Mr. James Ndambo through his company from running the Zambia Kasumbales­a border post where it’s alleged, he was making illicit profits, without defining the licit profits that presumably the publisher’s company if any, makes.

The family would rather the publisher confronts Mr Ndambo at a personal level if he has contentiou­s issues to address as opposed to hiding behind non-existent contracts purely to attract public attention.

The moment you refer to someone as hurting the Zambians via illicit profits, why not channel such to institutio­ns tasked to police such errant business houses or individual­s?

Mr. James Ndambo had no relationsh­ip or connection with Zambia IP Border Crossing Company (ZipBCC) nor was there a contract or concession indirectly or directly with ZRA at Kasumbales­a border post. It has been public knowledge over the past 12 years that a Jewish company operated the contract in topic.
