Angola is throwing out all Chinese Nationals from the Country’s Mines

Angola is throwing out all Chinese Nationals who have been working in the country and especially in mining fields and mineral dealerships.

The Republic of Angola Government has reportedly issued a 24-hour eviction order to all Chinese Nationals. Officials have also confirmed.

It seems the countdown to that effect started on the 8^th of August 2025 and many of the foreigners already started to leave the Southern African country shortly after the notice.

The Chinese Nationals who have been living in Angola were being accused of plundering the country’s mineral resources and destroying the environment during their irresponsible mining activities.

The South China Morning Post publication recently estimated that there were more than 300,000 Chinese Nationals in Angola, with many of them assimilated in the construction and mining sectors.

Essentially it is being believed that over 500 Chinese companies have operated in Angola, as part of post-war reconstruction, with the height of the wave being in the year 2012.

During that period, the Angolan Office of Migration and Foreigners had stated that 258,920 Chinese people were residing in the country.

However, the vast majority of Chinese Nationals in Angola, around 258,391 of them possessed official work visas.

But apart from the legally staying Chinese in Angola, there were thousand other Sino nationals that are suspected to be also roaming across the country, among them construction workers, engineers and planners.

In addition, they were backed with their complimentary teams of support staff that included doctors, messengers, gardeners and cooks all residing in Angola, making the construction sector a large magnet for the Chinese who flock into the country.

The recent decision by Angola to chuck out the Chinese people from the country comes shortly after Tanzania also issued the same order against illegal aliens from the Far East, after local residents in Dar-es-salaam complained against the foreigners taking over even petty jobs in the city’s busy business district of Kariakoo.
