Abstract
The Zambian community in the UK is the biggest immigrant group among all Zambians living abroad and comprises mainly educated and affluent immigrants (UKZambians, 2013, p. 1). Generally there are more Zambians in the UK than all of the Zambians living abroad who are degree educated, hold a professional job or run their own business (UKZambians, 2013). The community maintains its connection with its roots through national and cultural celebrations and is often informed through UKZambians.
