From Davy Lane:
[Two excerpts from a] BBC documentary on ‘Chinese in Africa,’ [titled "The Chinese are Coming" wink, wink] that contrasts old and new colonists in Zambia.Earlier in the documentary, Angolans are full of praise for the Chinese. Zambians ain’t feeling ‘em, however. Obviously, a snap shot. In the 7 min excerpt [below] interview with local miners (and of course has folks dancing). [But] worth a peek just to see old European settlers’ annoyance at replacement of ballroom with badminton court:
Ah, the ballroom set. I remember their self-aggrandised and blown up “Englishness” well.
Glad to see that the Zambian people are ware of thier rights and circumstances, lets see what this awareness will bring.
