"A delegation of global investors led by JP Morgan & Chase with representatives from London Geneva Boston Dubai and Luxembourg is meeting Zambian officials and local partners to explore investments in energy mining agriculture infrastructure and financial services. Their visit follows Zambias three year debt restructuring which has improved fiscal stability and opened the country to new international funding and joint ventures. This could lead to tangible projects capital inflows and partnerships that support our economic growth.💪💪 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2015826076421820772"

"Multiple credible sources are reporting that Russia has proposed that trade between Zambia and Russia could be settled using the Zambian kwacha (ZMW) and Russian ruble (RUB) instead of primarily relying on the US dollar. The proposal is still at the discussion stage and has not been implemented. Officials from both countries are exploring the idea to make bilateral trade smoother and reduce reliance on third party currencies. If adopted trading in kwacha and rubles would require new systems for banks currency conversion and agreements to manage risk. Zambias key exports like copper are priced"

"Listened to the President speak to the diplomats about Zambias place in a divided world and what stayed with me was not the politics but the human tone beneath it. It was a subtle pushback against a global order that increasingly expects smaller states to take sides. Over time weve all seen different versions of HH but for me this moment today felt different. It was softer more exposed and unexpectedly sincere as if he was speaking less as a head of state and more as a custodian of a fragile country. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2016955779635396900"

"This post reminded me of what I saw at the filling station by the Chongwe ZNS Milling plant. One pump was working and a long queue had formed. A ZNS officer finished fueling but chose not to move staying on his phone as people waited. The attendant kept telling him he was done but he only moved when he felt like it slowly and without any concern for the inconvenience he had caused.

"Watching the Zambia  Ghana fugu banter I realised it was never really about the cloth. What Ghana defended so strongly and with such unwavering confidence was not just fashion but heritage and a clear sense of who they are as a people. That reaction quietly exposes something about us too. Sometimes it feels like we either have not fully defined our own cultural identity or we do not carry it with the same pride and certainty. Not because we lack history but because we have not yet agreed on what binds us together beyond tribe politics geography etc. To our good people of Ghana please dont"

"Government is now talking about allowing workers to withdraw an additional 10% from their NAPSA savings under pension reforms. Sounds like relief but it is also a quiet admission that the economy is squeezing people so hard they must eat into their own retirement just to survive today. NAPSA was never meant to be a survival fund. Correct me but I think it was designed to protect us in old age and not as a quick fix to patch holes created by rising costs and shrinking incomes.

"Rule of thumb 👍 if you are constructing your tumidadada; when your builder gives you a list for materials double check the math and quietly add extra.

"The Kwacha is around K19/USD today. People are asking why. Short answer could be a mix of policy exports and confidence. Let me break it down just a preliminary look. First the governments de-dollarization push is forcing companies and banks to sell dollars. That sudden rush of USD hitting the market naturally pushes the Kwacha up. Second copper. Our copper is at record prices over $13387.50 a ton. Thats massive export cash flowing into the country. Miners sell dollars to pay wages taxes and suppliers and that boosts local currency demand. Third confidence. Better fiscal management credit"

Ba UPND electioneering has its generals and Garry Nkombo is one of them. Campaigns were once built around not away from him. His presence brings momentum discipline and a certain aura that cant be manufactured. Right now he does not seem as embedded in campaign strategy as he once was. If that reading is correct its a strategic oversight and one you will regret"
