MUSIC CROSSES BORDERS. SO DOES ZAMBIA.

I had a wonderful telephone conversation recently with Mr. JM Blue S**c, one of Zambia’s talented musical artists, who is currently on tour in Angola.

JM Blue S**c has already performed in Kazombo, the provincial capital of Moxico Leste. That is deep in eastern Angola, right along our shared border. Communities that have always known each other. People who share blood, language, and memory across a line drawn on a map.

I told him what I truly believe. Art and music do what diplomacy sometimes takes years to do. They walk straight into people’s hearts. No visa required. No protocol needed. Just rhythm, melody, and shared humanity.

A Zambian artist performing in Angola is not just entertainment. It is a statement. It says we are one people. It says our friendship is real and it lives in our culture, not only in our agreements and communiques.

I wished JM Blue S**c well on the remainder of his tour. And I extended a standing invitation: if his tour brings him to Luanda, the doors of the Zambian Embassy are open. Come. Let us celebrate together what our two countries are building.

To the Zambian and Angolan communities following this journey: support JM Blue S**c. Support our artists.

They are ambassadors too.

Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Zambia to the Republic of Angola.

This afternoon, we met Dr. Arlindo das Chagas Rangel, CEO of AIPEX and his team. AIPEX is Angola’s Agency for Private Investment and Export Promotion.

I was accompanied by Mr. Simon Banda First Secretary (Economic) and our embassy team as we continue our structured engagement with key economic institutions in Angola.

Our conversation was straightforward and practical: Zambia and Angola must trade more, and trade better.

Our Presidents have set the direction. Our Ministers have agreed. Now it is up to institutions like AIPEX and the Zambia Development Agency, and indeed our Embassy, to remove bottlenecks, align standards, and make business happen.

We discussed:

• Zambia’s current maize surplus available for export
• Formalising existing informal beef trade along our border provinces
• Encouraging participation in FILDA and other Angolan trade fairs
• Inviting Angolan companies to the Invest Zambia International Conference (14–16 July)
• Preparing our markets ahead of the infrastructure momentum linking Lobito to Zambia

Angola is not just a market for Zambia.
Zambia is not just a market for Angola. We are partners.

It makes little strategic sense for neighbours to look to distant markets for products that can move efficiently across shared borders. Integration is not a slogan, it is an economic necessity.

The roads are being built.
The rail is moving and being extended.
Now we must ensure trade is ready to flow.

100 DAYS IN ANGOLA

On 15 October 2025, Liseli and I arrived in Luanda to assume duty as Zambia’s Ambassador to the Republic of Angola. We have now marked 100 days of service.

These first months have been less about noise and more about work as envisioned by His Excellency President Hakainde Hichilema.

We have travelled west to Benguela and Lobito, walking the port, the railway, the refinery, meetings ordinary Benguelans, and seeing first-hand the infrastructure that will define the future of the Lobito Corridor.

We have travelled east — to Malanje, Saurimo, Luau, Kazombo, Luacano, Luena and the surrounding provinces, meeting Governors, traditional leaders, administrators, and communities along the corridor alignment. Zambia’s engagement must not stop in Luanda. It must reach the provinces where trade, rail, agriculture and people actually meet.

We have hosted Zambian Ministers and senior delegations here in Angola with dignity and purpose. We have strengthened ties within the diplomatic corps in Luanda, building partnerships that extend beyond bilateral confines.

We have positioned Zambia as:

• A serious corridor partner
• A predictable trade ally
• A regional connector state
• A country ready to convert production into market opportunity

We have also quietly stabilised Mission operations with an incredible team of diplomats and local staff. This is because diplomacy works best when systems are sound.

The Lobito Corridor is no longer an abstract discussion for us. It is ports, rail lines, border posts, refineries, farmers, traders and communities. And we are fully engaged.

Angola and Zambia share history. But our task now is to share prosperity.

The next phase of our work will be about continued delivery, trade flows, energy cooperation, investment linkages and people-to-people engagement.

The work continues.

His Excellence the ambassador to Angola with the in charge of the Zambian consulate in Luena, Mr Musumali. During the tour of Eastern provinces of Angola, the ambassador experienced first hand challenges faced when using the cazombo - Luau - Saurimo route to reach the innermost part of Angola including the capital. The ambassador has put in a lot of effort to make sure the Lobito corridor project is a success not only on paper but in practice.

POISON TO PF.

Miles Sampa , the man who confessed in court that he destroyed PF by holding an illegal convention has started condemning Zimba for the mess.

What surprises me is how they have fertilized his return in PF to cause more damage.........He has blackmailed the whole entire PF by shifting the blame on UPND. This chap finished Mbappe Miles is poison to PF.

These people are confused, SATA was correct. Right now CHABS international is making the last laugh 😂

President HH and the UPND government has achieved many successes in their five years in office. Here are the key areas in comparison to the PF regime's economic indicators and today's weather. Here are the economic indicators for Zambia from 2020 to 2026 (based on IMF and macroeconomic sources such as the IMF projections and FocusEconomics historical data):

Zambia: Key Economic Indicators (2020 vs 2026)

Indicator 2020 (Actual) 2026 (IMF Projected)

Real GDP Growth −2.8 % (contraction) ~5.8 % (strong growth)
Inflation (annual average) ~15.7 % ~9.3 % (easing)
Public Debt (% of GDP) ~140 % (very high) ~78 % (falling)

2020:
• Zambia’s economy was in recession, contracting by roughly −2.8 % as COVID-19 disrupted activity and export earnings fell.
• Inflation was very high, around 15–16 %, straining household purchasing power.
• Public debt reached extremely high levels (around 140 % of GDP), following years of fiscal deficits and careless borrowing.

2026 (Projected):
• Growth rebounds strongly, with GDP expanding near ~5.8 %, supported by mining, services, and economic recovery efforts.
• Inflation is projected to ease toward the single-digit zone (~9 %), reflecting tighter monetary policy and stabilization.
• Public debt as a share of GDP declines significantly to around ~78 %, as debt restructuring and fiscal consolidation take effect.

Overall: Between 2020 and 2026, Zambia’s economy moves from crisis (recession, high inflation, very high debt) to a more stable and growing outlook, with stronger expansion, lower inflation, and reduced debt burden. This shows why HH will win this year's general elections with a landslide victo
