Last update: 8 hours ago

Energy & Power: President Hakainde Hichilema has commissioned Chisamba Solar Phase II, adding 100MW to take the plant to 200MW, with ZESCO citing about 1,480 local jobs during construction and government pushing a diversified power mix to support mining, manufacturing and growth. Elections & Governance: The ECZ says ballot paper printing in Dubai is progressing, with presidential ballots (9.1m) completed and major portions of ward, council and parliamentary papers already printed, while it also reports a rise in unopposed seats ahead of the 13 August polls. Business & Capital Markets: FMDQ has approved listing of Paras Energy Funding SPV’s N15bn, 5-year 18% Series 1 fixed-rate bond, signalling continued debt financing activity in the power sector. Mining & Investment: Prospect Resources reports new thick, high-grade copper intercepts at Nyungu Central, extending mineralisation beyond its current resource boundary, while Tertiary Minerals says drilling at Mushima North confirms a higher-grade copper zone continuation. Sports Sponsorship: Konkola Copper Mines pledges ZMW93m over five years to FAZ, becoming official partner and title sponsor of the KCM FAZ Cup, expanding support to men’s and women’s football. Policy & Skills: A new push highlights Zambia’s skills gap and the need to prepare young people for the labour market as the country’s youth bulge approaches working age. Media Freedom: The Committee to Protect Journalists urges Zambia to release ZNBC journalist MacPherson Mukuka after detention over an alleged cyber law offence linked to a secret audio recording.
