Mr. Siyanga Malumo is such a fantastic mind. His presentation blew me away. He's such a genius energy expert that we we need to celebrate in this Country.
A true Patriot.
We can do better with his electric mind.

Being in certain rooms is a blessing and expands your reasoning and thinking horizons. Attending a beautifully curated event dubbed Zambia Annual Renewable Energy Conference. We have wonderful brains in this Country and wonder why we import ideas when we have great ones. Kudos

Divorce rates are high in this generation for one simple reason. People don't understand what marriage actually is. Social media made everyone believe there's always someone better out there, a richer man, a prettier woman, a more exciting life, but comparison kills loyalty.
People want weddings, not marriages. They'll spend months planning a ceremony and zero time learning how to communicate when things get hard. Nobody knows how to argue anymore.
They yell, they shut down, they run instead of learning how to fight for each other. Money pressure exposes weak foundations. Instead of building together, couples turn on each other, men stop leading, women stop respecting their men, temptation is everywhere. Now everyone uses therapy words to escape accountability. Everything is toxic, everything is trauma. Nothing is ever their fault.
There's no community pressure to stay married anymore. No elders saying work it out. Just friends saying leave. You deserve better. Kids became optional, sacrifice became outdated and vows became suggestions.
Marriage used to mean I'll suffer with you. Now it means I'll stay as long as I'm happy. And that's why divorce is high. Because people don't know how to suffer together.
They only know how to quit when excitement is no longer there.
We are in the trenches!!

All the time. Get the job done meticulously. Don't entertain mediocrity. Don't give people reasons not to recommend you to others. Learn the best practices in the sector you operate in.

Whatever your hands find, do it well. Give it your all and be so good at your work that they can’t ignore you. Let your work be impeccable that no one questions your ability to deliver and work ethics. Give things your all, don’t hold back! The Best you can be, you must Be!

Honourable, today I went to @ZescoL ku Head Quarters. At some moment I thought the head office shifted. Are they rebranding?

If you want to make serious money, understand that you’re competing with people who already have capital, networks, and leverage.
You’re not just competing on skill. You’re competing on resources.
That’s why trying to do everything alone is a disadvantage. You need strong relationships, solid partnerships, and people who can lock in, share knowledge, and move faster with you.
“I don’t have friends” is not a flex.
“I don’t like asking for help” is even worse.
Because the people you’re competing with are collaborating, pooling resources, and accelerating each other.
You don’t win big alone.

The Arcades turnaround and the new kid on the block boost the LuSE!
The Lusaka Securities Exchange (LuSE) has seen a dynamic 2025, characterized by significant operational turnarounds and a successful new listing. Recent earnings reports from Real Estate Investments Zambia Plc (REIZ) and Dot Com Zambia Plc highlight a theme of robust top-line growth.
Real Estate Investments Zambia Plc (REIZ) reported a year of two halves: stellar operational performance masked by significant non-cash accounting losses.
Revenue surged by 105%, reaching ZMW 326.7 million. This was primarily fueled by the 2024 acquisitions and the dramatic recovery of the Arcades Shopping Mall, which saw monthly rentals jump from $80,000 to $300,000.
Despite doubling its distributable income to ZMW 170 million, the company posted a net loss after tax of ZMW 404 million. This was almost entirely due to ZMW 672 million in fair value losses. Because property values are often pegged to the USD, the appreciation of the Kwacha led to a downward adjustment in their ZMW valuation on paper, despite the business being fundamentally stronger in dollar terms.
Shareholder Returns: In a show of confidence in its actual cash flow, the board doubled the dividend to $0.00449 per share.
The new kid on the block... Dot Com Zambia Plc: A Post-IPO Success Story
Following its December 2025 IPO on the LuSE Alternative Market, Dot Com Zambia has demonstrated why there is such high demand for digital infrastructure in the region.
Revenue grew 26% to ZMW 665.6 million, while Profit After Tax (PAT) nearly doubled, rising 94% to ZMW 6.75 million. The company ended the year in an enviable position completely debt-free with cash reserves skyrocketing from ZMW 2.7 million to ZMW 17.9 million.
With over 300 corporate clients and a focus on electronic tolling and payments, the company is effectively the "digital tollgate" for Zambia's burgeoning electronic economy.
The contrast between these two firms illustrates the current Zambian investment landscape. REIZ represents a value play where operational improvements are high but subject to FX-driven volatility in reporting. Dot Com Zambia represents a growth play, capitalising on the national shift toward a digital-first economy.
