Cost Accountant

JobwebZambia — operating from Ghana — has spent nearly a decade copying and mirroring content from GoZambia. Now that this practice has become difficult for you, you’ve shifted your attention to our platform instead. This predatory behavior is unacceptable.

Why should anyone visit your site when you provide no original value? Morning: copy from GoZambia. Afternoon: copy from JobSearchZM. If the foundation of your platform is built on copying others, then there is nothing to be proud of.
