Africa's richest man Aliko
Dangote's company in
Zambia, Dangote Industries
Zambia is suing the country's
Labour Minister, Fackson
Shamenda, for defamation.
According to AFP, the
company initiated the lawsuit
after the mr Shamenda
claimed that a senior
company official of Dangote
Industries tried to bribe him.
The company is now seeking
unspecified damages for
slander and libel as well as
special damages in the sum
of 112,042.84 kwacha ($
17,728), according to
documents filed in the High
Court.
On September 15th, a local
newspaper, Namibian Post,
carried a story with the
headline "Dangote offers
Shamenda a bribe" where the
labour minister claimed that a
Nigerian human resources
manager from the company
offered him a bribe which he
rejected.
"He told me that it was a
tradition in their culture to
give someone a token of
appreciation. May I take this
opportunity to warn Dangote
and all other investors in the
country to avoid enticing
government officials with
bribes -- it hinders
progress." Shamenda was
quoted as saying.
Dangote Industries is setting
up a multimillion dollar cement
plant in Ndola, about 360 km
north of the capital Lusaka.
