University of Malawi’s Child Rights Legal Clinic to hold demonstrations against Chinese Man suspected of shooting racist videos

University of Malawi’s Child Rights Legal Clinic will next week Tuesday, march from Njewa Village to the Chinese Embassy in Lilongwe in protest of the video in which Malawian children were made to use demeaning and racist words by a Chinese national identified as Lu Ke.

In a statement signed by the child rights legal clinic’s incoming president Comfort Mankhwazi and outgoing president Bettie Mlauzi Child Rights Legal clinic condemns the racist slurs in the video.

The video has been exposed in a documentary broadcast on BBC Africa Eye Investigation programme in which the children were made to read Chinese phrases that read: “I am a black monster! My IQ is low”.

BBC journalist Runako Celina and Malawian journalist Henry Mhango found that Lu Ke was shooting 380 videos a day and earning about K77 million, but was paying the children in his videos below $1.

Meanwhile, the Chinese Embassy in Malawi has condemned Susu for the act.
