@AdvoBarryRoux Yes. Zambians, Malawian and Mozambiquens used to flock to Zimbabwe in the 90s.

@DrCh0nya @Mike42726245 I will always repeat this phrase "you can't ran the country like a farm" . Unfortunately all state owned institutions are ran this way. Let the most qualified people do the job.

The word you are looking for is “incompetence”. It is called “incompetence”. It should read: “We regret turning Indeni into an OMC — that was pure incompetence.” — Nkulukusa. We have always said Mr. Hakainde and his subjects are incompetent. Now that they have confirmed what we meant when they rubbished the reason President Kaunda established INDENI, what will they discover next — the mines? @HHichilema

@TheBigChairman4 PF employed real technocrats at state house it was not a one man show full of content creators who lie on their CV. And the public service though not perfect but atleast there was meritocracy. Apa most of the appointments are just based on affiliation.

The hilarious thing about Mundubile saying he wants to rule like Lungu isn't bad, everyone wants to see it from a cadre point of view, but if you read our government's eighth national development plan, and the numbers associated with PF, they're actually good, I was shocked.

@MGCHANSA @LankyObserver Zambians and their lack of character judgement never fails to amaze me. You really expected something different from these guys?

There is a lot of things we encounter in the course of running political parties in Zambia. A lot of it is never spoken of publicly. Sometimes they are hidden in the messages we share. If Zambia does not remove UPND, it will be heading in the direction it may never recover from. 👈this is a loaded statement. We feared for Zambia under PF and celebrated their removal. Unfortunately, we may well have jumped from a frying pan into the actual fire.

@DavidKa07247477 Both CEO and CFO come from India and are rotated every 4 years and almost all of them refuse to go back and prefer to find jobs locally.

Indo-Zambia Bank has never had a Zambian CEO. Is this by design? 🤔

@EscobarChim Fuel takes 60 days to reach Zambia, the war is only 30 days old. Unless someone wants to be greedy I expect fuel prices to be relatively similar to March. The only problem is the industry is run by cartels.

@Mwebantu GDP has been past $60 billion for a long time since PF all that's needed is rebasing they believed in the informal sector your legacy is puting millions in poverty with your policies and wrong thinking. Where you thought mining output along moves the economy. Now look

Lol, simply put there is no money in economy for consumers to spend. This shows the growing trend in rising poverty and unemployment. Simply put we are going backwards
Dean N Onyambu@InfinitelyDean

Zambia grew 3.8 per cent in 2025. Every major institution overestimated it. The budget assumed 6.6 per cent. The IMF projected 5.8. The Bank of Zambia modelled 5.6. Even the March 2026 staff visit, the final estimate before the data, overshot by 0.7 percentage points. But the miss is not the story. The story is where growth went and where it did not. Agriculture grew 51.1 per cent. Mining added 5.6. Transport, manufacturing, and construction all contributed. The economy is not stagnant. But wholesale and retail trade contracted 11.2 per cent, the deepest in at least five years. The Stanbic Bank Zambia PMI, surveying approximately 400 firms, never broke convincingly above 50. Output contracted at firm level in eight of fourteen months. Firms hired for expansion that did not arrive, then cut prices at the fastest pace in four years to sustain volume they could not afford to lose. Growth happened. It did not spread. The new Canary Compass Zambia Macro Note traces the full sectoral picture: the Q4 deceleration, the wholesale and retail contraction, the ICT measurement question, the power story, and the three-phase Kwacha effect. The projections overestimated because the models assumed diffusion that the structure did not deliver. Link below. canarycompass.com/p/zambia-macro…

@Malik_ZMB I don't see production going higher unless it comes from ZCCM, the mines are already profitable at the current scale due to high copper prices, why should they expand or invest more money? It is better to set a target for value addition that is what people that think would do.

@Blcvxt It’s funny that they have opened new mines and brought back Mopani and KCM but the numbers aren’t growing. On top of that they gave tax breaks to mining companies. All of this hasn’t reflected in the numbers. We should really think of moving away from mining.

Unrelated. Zambia produced 800k MT of copper in 2021. The irony of this is that Method Man and his team are so convinced that they have revived mining. They have set a target of 3m tones by 2031 but have only managed to grow production by 12.5% in 5 years. Even the graphs don’t add up.
🅱️rian🇿🇲🇦🇷🏆⚽️📈@briansimasiku

The Mines Minister announced recently that Zambia produced close to 900,000 tonnes of copper in a single year; we are talking about a strategic mineral for electric cars, renewable energy and global industry. That is roughly $7 to 8 billion worth of copper from one mineral alone. Paradoxically, in the same period, the government still needs to borrow about K21 billion (roughly $800 to 900 million) to finance the national budget. I keep arguing that that cannot be the fullest arch of progress. What exactly is our participation in all this value, coz when you look carefully, we don’t make the cables, we don’t make the batteries, we don’t control the commodity trading, we don’t set the prices, we don’t even own the distribution networks. All we do is dig, export, borrow, and then celebrate production numbers. And I’m not saying employment and mineral royalties are not important; they are, but for a country that produces one of the world’s most important minerals, surely our role in the value chain cannot just end at digging and exporting the raw material. At some point, we have to move from being just producers to being participants in processing, in manufacturing, in trading, in ownership etc. Otherwise, increased production will just mean increased extraction without a corresponding increase in national wealth.
