Last update: 5 hours ago

Brazil-Africa Trade Push: Brazil has launched a business mission to South Africa, Zambia, Mozambique and Ethiopia to expand market access for Brazilian firms, with bilateral trade already put at US$23.7bn and thousands of export opportunities identified. China-Zambia People-to-People Tech Diplomacy: Lusaka hosted a drone light show celebrating China-Zambia friendship, spotlighting landmarks like TAZARA and using technology to boost tourism and cultural storytelling. Post-Election Treason Case Escalates: Opposition leader Brian Mundubile, running mate Makebi Zulu and 16 others have been formally charged with treason, with reports they were transferred to Mukobeko Maximum Prison as the crisis deepens. Court, Rights and Political Tensions: Police say lawyers were not blocked from visiting detainees, while legal commentary frames the presidential petition process as a constitutional test amid earlier court closures. Food Security and Maize Exports: The Food Reserve Agency says it will export only surplus maize after discussions with Kenya’s delegation on potential shipments of about 10.8m 90kg bags. Inflation and Second-Term Economic Agenda: Zambia’s inflation eased to 6.2% in August as preparations build for President Hichilema’s 1 September inauguration and delivery of 10-10-5-3-3-1-1 targets. Governance and Investor Confidence Signals: The World Economic Forum congratulated Hichilema and pledged public-private cooperation, while Mo Ibrahim warned against post-election backsliding.
