Our children in Nchanga Constituency carry the future of Chingola in their school bags. But for too many, that bag is empty, or the path to school is too difficult.

That ends with us.

Our children in Nchanga deserve a fair shot at a bright future, no matter their background. So let's invest in our greatest asset: our children. Because when they succeed, all of Nchanga succeeds.

As your aspiring Member of Parliament, I am committed to a future where every child, from Kapisha to Kamba.. nokwashala konse, has the tools to learn and thrive.

My plan is clear:
โœ…Sustainable School Supplies: Instituting a consistent 'Education Starter Pack' for learners in our poorest communities.
โœ…Supporting the Heroes: Working with our dedicated teachers to ensure they have what they need to shape young minds.
โœ…Safe Learning Spaces: Advocating for better classroom infrastructure and adequate attention.

Our children's potential is not the problem; ni lack of opportunity. Let's build that opportunity, together.

Lusaka Water Supply and Sanitation Company wishes to inform its customers that most parts of Lusaka are currently experiencing no water supply or low pressure.

This is due to emergency maintenance works at Iolanda 1 and power interruptions at Iolanda 2 experienced from around 04:00hrs today, which have significantly reduced water levels at Stuart Park and other booster stations.

IBA GRANTS RADIO BROADCASTING LICENCES

LUSAKA, 1st October, 2025 โ€“ The Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA) Board has awarded nine (9) radio broadcasting licences to successful applicants for the provision of radio services.
Further, the Board has authorised nine (9) existing stations to expand their coverage areas to different parts of the country.

This licensing process has resulted in the increase of radio stations from one hundred and eighty-eight (188) to two hundred and eight (208).

In April 2025, the Authority advertised thirty-two (32) radio frequencies, fourteen (14) designated for the establishment of new radio stations and eighteen (18) for the expansion of existing stations into new broadcasting areas. The advert run for ninety (90) days, from 15th April 2025 to 14th July 2025.

The call for applications aimed to extend broadcasting services to underserved and unserved areas targeting rural communities. To support prospective applicants, the Authority conducted sensitisation meetings in underserved and unserved districts to raise awareness about the licensing process and the requirements for obtaining a broadcasting licence.

At the close of the application period on 14th July, the Authority received a total of forty-seven (47) valid applications, twenty (20) for new stations and twenty-seven (27) for expansions. However, no applications were received for the advertised frequencies in Kawambwa, Mporokoso, Kaputa, Nakonde, Zambezi, and Mwinilunga.

During the evaluation process, the Board observed that several applicants faced challenges, including failure to provide proof of startup capital, lack of cash flow projections and sustainability plans for their stations.

In light of these shortcomings, the Authority urges future applicants to engage the Authority for guidance on licensing requirements. This will help ensure that applications are complete, compliant, and meet the necessary standards for consideration.

The following are the successful applicants for new stations:
