My favourite Africans are Zambians BTW. I'm not sure why, but I've never met a Zambian I didn't like. Every single one I know is just a pleasure to be around, both male and female.
Hope I haven't jinxed it now sha🤐

When we say winning matches is for boys, but winning trophies is for men. This is what we mean.

@Natashamwinji In my opinion, I feel we have rushed into it considering issues like security that you've raised

Zambia’s Shift Toward a 24-Hour Economy
The idea of a 24-hour economy is gaining traction. But what does it actually mean for Zambia?
A 24-hour economy is a system where businesses, services, and production operate around the clock. It is common in cities like New York, London, and Dubai. Zambia is now exploring this model to drive growth.
What this means in practice
• Extended business hours across sectors 🌙
• Increased use of shift work 🔄
• Higher demand for transport, security, and utilities at night 🚔
• Growth in sectors like retail, hospitality, healthcare, and manufacturing 🏭
Why it matters
• Economic growth 📈
More hours of operation means higher output and productivity
• Job creation 👩🏽💼
Night shifts and extended hours create new employment opportunities
• Better asset utilization ⚙️
Infrastructure and equipment are used more efficiently
• Improved service delivery ⏱️
Consumers access services at any time
Key implications
• Energy demand will rise ⚡
Stable and reliable electricity becomes critical
• Security must improve 🔐
Nighttime activity requires stronger policing and surveillance
• Labor laws need adjustment 📜
Worker protection, shift allowances, and health considerations must be clear
• Urban planning will evolve 🏙️
Transport systems and city infrastructure must support 24-hour movement
• SMEs must adapt 🛍️
Small businesses need support to participate without excessive cost pressure
Bottom line
A 24-hour economy can unlock growth. But execution matters.
Policy alignment, infrastructure investment, and private sector readiness will determine success.
Your move
If you run a business, start thinking in shifts, not just hours.
If you are employed, think about skills that are valuable beyond the traditional 8 to 5.
The opportunity is real. So are the risks.
