President Edgar Lungu’s ordered the military to restore order in Lusaka where at least 62 Rwandan-owned shops have been looted.

The two deaths in Zambia are put down to confusion in one of the  one of the nine Lusaka neighborhoods shaken by xenophobic violence.

It’s been sparked by the suspicion that Rwandans are behind seven recent ritual killings in the Zambian capital.

Home Affairs Minister Davies Mwila urges his compatriots not to heed these malicious rumours.

He says there have been at least 11 arrests following the ritual killings.

At least 6 000 Rwandans moved to Zambia following the 1994 genocide in their country.

They say they have no intention of returning.

Many have sought Zambian citizenship.
