> South Africa is special -- they can keep blaming the whites for all their failings Unlike Zambia where they can blame Chinese. iol.co.za >>Rescuers have intensified a search for bodies a day after a blast at a Chinese-owned factory in a Zambian copper mine killed more than 50 people, fuelling charges that the owners flouted basic safety norms and treated employees like "pigs". The owners of Bilgrim, an explosives manufacturing company, have failed to provide details of the number of workers who were on duty when the explosion happened. "I am very upset with them. They can't treat human beings like pigs," the minister said. There has been wide condemnation of the accident by Zambians, who blame the Chinese owners for allegedly failing to follow basic safety regulations at the factory.<<
