A Chinese restaurant operating in the capital of Zambia has been shut for allegedly discriminating against locals.

The restaurant was reported to have denied entry to a Zambian man, terming him as a foreigner, BBC reports.

The man described the incident as racist.

Lusaka Mayor Miles Sampa has also accused the restaurant of selling products labelled in Chinese and not English as prescribed by law.

"Apartheid finished [ended] a long time ago in Lusaka after Zambia gained independence in 1964," the mayor told the Lusaka Times website.

Local television station Muvi TV aired the story of the man who was denied entry to the restaurant.



Owner of the closed Chinese shop and restaurant has now apologized to the Zambian citizenry, the government of the republic of Zambia, and the entire black race for the unfortunate incident at his business firm.

According to Mr Tang Wei he has suspended the chinese lady who allegedly discriminated against the Zambian national.
