Rwandan President Paul Kagame has deported a number of Chinese nationals who were exposing Rwandese nationals working on their illegal businesses across Rwanda to inhumane conditions.
Mr Kagame went on to remind the larger Chinese community in the country that they could not be out there harming Africans who are technically feeding them, through investment opportunities.
The Chinese in question were operating illegally on farms they had grabbed from unsuspecting Rwandans at cheap prices and exploiting the locals whom they employed on the farms. The locals were made to work longer hours than usual, paid meager wages and subjected to punitive punishments on the farms for what the Chinese in question describe as laziness and irresponsibility.
When the information on the criminal activities carried out by the Chinese got to Rwandase Authorities, the country’s president Kagame was horrified by the damaging actions and thus ordered for their immediate deportation to their country back in China.
To stamp his authority and confidence in the country, Mr Kagame also indicated that the Chinese should never again get back to Rwanda on whatever basis.
Rogue Chinese who illegally enter Africa have always proved dangerous to social and economic structures in Africa some have been running illegal gambling as has been the case in Kenya amongst other countries in Africa.
A fortnight ago, a Chinese businessman operating illegal mining activities in Gweru shot and badly injured a Zimbabwean man over a pay dispute.
Unlike the other African leaders, Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa developed a soft heart to the Chinese team and did not close the illegal mine nor deport the Chinese businessmen.
Others have been photographed abusing Africans as was the case of one Chinese in Kenya who went on ranting about Africans including Kenyan president, luckily he was deported back to China.
It’s is true that some people of Asian origins have proved sound and productive while operating in Africa, however, some have always proved stubborn and should be deported whenever necessary.
