She writes :

A Promising Community Leader for Kapata Ward

Kapata Ward is growing and evolving, and with this progress comes the need for leaders who truly understand the community’s challenges, aspirations, and everyday life. Among those ready to serve with vision and dedication is a local business person with clear plans to stand for Ward Councillor. My background in both entrepreneurship and community involvement makes me a strong and relatable candidate for local leadership.

Business and Community Experience:

Restaurant Owner: Running a restaurant has provided hands-on experience in managing staff, ensuring quality service, and responding effectively to day-to-day challenges. These skills are directly applicable to public service and responsive governance.

Money Lending Services: Through responsible lending, I have supported many residents in times of financial need. This has built trust within the community, as I am seen as someone who offers practical help during difficult times.

Why I Am a Strong Candidate:

My blend of business expertise and community engagement gives me a well-rounded perspective—I understand both the economic and social fabric of Kapata Ward.
My vision is built on genuine connections, real-world experience, and a clear understanding of what the people of Kapata truly need.

Kapata, I am here to serve you!

Zikomo Kwambiri.

Govt cuts power connection fees from over K4,800 to K300!

Energy Minister Makozo Chikote has announced that electricity connection fees will be subsidized and reduced from K4,846 to K300, effective December 22, 2025.

Speaking during the Rural Electrification Authority -REA- launch of the Accelerated Sustainable and Clean Energy Access Transformation –ASCENT- initiative in Lusaka this morning, Mr. Chikote says the 2026 application window for the subsidy targets 100,000 new connection fees next year alone.

Mr. Chikote has however instructed REA and ZESCO to ensure the initiative is widely publicized, assuring government's commitment to ensuring universal access to electricity by 2030.

He notes that the $200 million World Bank funded Ascent-Zambia program aims to connect over 1.6 million Zambians to electricity and clean cooking technologies over the next 5 years.

At the same event, World Bank Country Manager Dr. Achim Fock said the initiative brings together the World Bank group, the African Development Bank and other partners to support sub-Saharan African countries in providing access to electricity to 300 million people.

Meanwhile, REA Acting Chief Executive Officer Alex Mumba commended government for championing policy and financing reforms that made the program possible.
