MUTALE Bonaventure

The Zambia Equestrian 🐎 Children's team has minted 🥇 GOLD at the Nations Cup in Algeria. Silver has gone to Libya and Bronze to Algeria. Congratulations 🎉👏🎉 to them!

A Super Pit naturally needs a Super Fleet of equipment and getting into the cabin of the latest edition to Barrick’s Super Fleet at Lumwana, gives one a different perspective of the immensity of Barrick’s undertaking in this part of Zambia

@Trevornoah @LazGola @SavannaCider @BafunnyComedy @eugenekhoza Zambia is also waiting for you, sir. You need to come and see in person the additional number of escalators we have put up to add to our family weekend adventures.

We’re assembling a national team of comedy, Bafunny Bafunny! We’re going on tour around SA in September. Can’t wait to share more about the line ups for each city! Directed by @LazGola Tickets at: bafunnybafunny.com @SavannaCider @BafunnyComedy @eugenekhoza

Nigerian Afrobeats star Davido last night donned the traditional Lubemba outfit, the signature cultural attire of the Bemba-speaking people of Northern Province, during his performance at the Lusaka Showgrounds. The outfit is commonly worn during the Ukusefya pa Ng’wena ceremony.

South Africans just like any other, have a right to their country without being dominated by foreigners. They have a right to complain. The authorities need to listen to the cries of the citizens and act on them. It's overwhelming to be dominated by foreigners in your country.

@TembaMliswa It's fools that like Police Officer who dent the entire image of the Zambia Police Service. I hope he is fished out.

On my way from an exciting holiday in Zambia I had an unpleasant experience with a Zambian Police Assistant Inspector along the Chirundu Highway who wanted to robe us in broad daylight. He flagged us down 15 km from the border and without explaining any charge demanded that we turn the car back and drive to Lusaka. We asked what the issue was but he couldn't explain and yet demanded 1000 Kwacha if he would leave us. We refused, gave him my passport and will be making a formal charge against him to Zambia Police Service. It's shocking how corruption is eroding public services to this shocking point in our countries. @DailyNationZM @QfmZambia @zadama24 @Zambia_Reports @ZambianObserver @ZP_service @PoliceZamb61410

Touchdown Lusaka Zambia 🇿🇲 … so beautiful here

Great to have both of you in Zambia 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲

This is someone’s backyard in Zambia 🇿🇲

Zambia is the real garden of Eden 🇿🇲😍

Ku America nako.. Awe sure.

I lived in Kabwe for 7 years, so I learnt Bemba. Moved to Mazabuka and was there for 5 years, so Tonga. I don’t know why I understand and speak a bit of Chewa💀. I’m Lozi, so Lozi. Today, I found bible translations in these languages 😂😂

Fiika!

@proflightzambia A message of thanks and appreciation for the excellent flight and on-board service. Captain Mwila Musonda, First Officer Sichilima, and Cabin Crew led a very friendly Mr. P. Keep it up with the great work.

@IanECox This is humn croc...lol! He is too familiar with the hotel.

Imagine being the night shift receptionist at this hotel at Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe 🇿🇼🐊

We made a promise to the people of Kabwe, and today we have honoured it. The reopening of Mulungushi Textiles brings jobs, restores hope and signals a new chapter of economic renewal. We will not rest, as there is still more work to be done.

I spent two days chasing waterfalls in Northern Zambia, and I have to say—it’s incredibly rich in waterfalls🇿🇲

No, a Jewish Lithuanian family does not own most of Lusaka, Zambia. 🇿🇲✡️ This claim has been circulating widely on social media, often traced back to posts by Zambian commentator Joseph Kalimbwe below and similar accounts. It is a significant exaggeration that turns a real but limited family business story into something far larger than the facts support. The family in question is the Galaun (sometimes spelled Galaunia) family. Abe (Abraham) Galaun, a Lithuanian Jew born in 1914, arrived in Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) just before World War II. He built a successful agricultural and business empire focused on meat, dairy, ranching, and farming. His company, Galaunia Farms Limited (part of the broader Galaun Group), acquired eight farms totaling roughly 25,000 acres (about 101 square kilometres) on the outskirts of Lusaka starting in the 1940s. These were primarily agricultural lands used for food production. Some of these former farmlands later contributed to the development of suburbs and townships such as Meanwood, Ibex Hill, Salama Park, and parts of Kudu Village/Chamba Valley. The family also operated butcheries, retail businesses, and held some properties in the central business district. Zambia’s first president, Kenneth Kaunda, once publicly praised Abe Galaun as “the man who feeds the nation” for his role in the country’s food supply. However, this is very different from owning “most” of Lusaka. The city’s district area is approximately 360–418 square kilometres. The Galauns’ holdings were a notable portion of peripheral farmland at one time, not the developed urban core, and much of that land has since been sold, subdivided, or developed into residential plots over the decades. The family’s companies continue to operate today, selling serviced land in growing suburbs, but they do not control the majority of the capital. Land ownership in Lusaka is diverse and includes Zambian citizens, the government, private developers, companies, and other investors from various backgrounds. No single family, Jewish or otherwise, owns the bulk of the city. The viral version of the story (sometimes claiming “70%” or “almost 70%” of Lusaka, or adding an “Italian” connection without historical basis) does not appear in any credible history of Zambia’s small Jewish community. That community peaked at only a few hundred people in the mid-20th century and is now tiny. The Galauns’ success is real and part of the broader story of early 20th-century Jewish immigrants who contributed to Zambia’s cattle trade, mining, and agriculture. But turning their legitimate land holdings into a claim that one family “owns most of Lusaka” is simply not accurate. In reality, the Galaun family’s story is one of immigrant entrepreneurship that helped feed the nation and supported suburban growth. The exaggerated claim does not hold up when examined against the actual scale of Lusaka or the city’s diverse ownership patterns. Joseph, the facts matter. The Galauns had substantial farmland interests tied to their farming legacy, interests that have largely been developed or sold over time, but they have never owned “most” of Lusaka. Let’s stick to the record rather than the rumour.

Someone drops a real concern, and instead of tackling the matter, in a typical fashion of these streets, folks swing at the man. Clearly, dodging the point is so much easier than facing it.

@hallaboutafrica Zambia is strategically positioned without a doubt!

Landlocked Zambia may not have seaports but wants to use its strategic geographic position in the centre of Southern Africa to become a regional logistics hub, with other countries transhipping through Zambia via and rail. Rail links being upgraded to Angola, Mozambique, Tanzania
