ZRA SEIZES TWO TRUCKS WITH SMUGGLED PREFORMS

The Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) has seized two trucks in for the offense of origin fraud with a revenue loss of over K1.2 million.

Speaking in Kapiri Mposhi today, ZRA Corporate Communications Manager Oliver Nzala said the seized consignment is made of preforms that were manufactured in India but were declared as coming from Tanzania. Tanzania is a member of COMESA, and as such, products coming from that country qualify for preferential treatment where customs duty is waived. A physical inspection of the goods revealed that the goods were originating from India.

“Preforms are small, test tube-shaped pieces of plastic, most commonly made from PET (polyethene terephthalate), that serve as a precursor to plastic bottles and containers. They are manufactured through injection moulding and are then transformed into their final shape via blow moulding either as bottles or containers”, Mr. Nzala added.

Further to the offense, the importer had been charged with undervaluation since the consignment was purported to have originated from Tanzania when not.

Each truck is carrying 800 boxes of preforms.

These incidences highlight the ongoing issue of smuggling and tax evasion in Zambia, with the ZRA actively working to combat these practices.

ZRA has been increasing its efforts to curb smuggling, particularly in areas bordering neighbouring countries where such activities are prevalent.

The Authority has deployed additional resources, including increased staff and surveillance technology, to monitor entry points and address vulnerabilities. ZRA also encourages public participation in reporting suspicious activities.

MISSED IT?

On Thursday, July 17, 2025, Reuters reported that Zambia’s kwacha is expected to continue strengthening in the coming week, while Nigeria’s naira and Ghana’s cedi are projected to remain relatively stable, based on market sentiment from traders.

In Uganda, the shilling is anticipated to gain slightly, supported by reduced demand for foreign currency from importers. Commercial banks quoted the shilling at 3,578/3,588 per US dollar unchanged from the previous week.

“Forex demand from importers is flat, and there are no signs of a rebound,” one trader noted, attributing the decline in FX demand to sluggish consumer spending.

In Zambia, the kwacha is seen extending its gains, buoyed by increased foreign currency inflows, particularly from the mining sector. As of Thursday, commercial banks quoted the currency at 23.20 per dollar, a significant improvement from 24.39 the previous week.

Meanwhile, Nigeria’s naira is expected to remain within a narrow trading band, thanks to continued US dollar sales by the central bank. The naira was quoted at about 1,533 per dollar in intraday trading on Thursday, compared to 1,524.50 a week earlier. In parallel street markets, the naira traded at approximately 1,535 to the dollar.

“I don’t expect the naira to weaken significantly from current levels,” one trader said.

Ghana’s cedi is also projected to remain largely stable. According to LSEG data, the cedi traded at 10.40 per dollar on Thursday, slightly up from 10.35 the previous week.

Traders expect the currency to hold its ground, citing regular central bank auctions and solid foreign reserves, which reportedly exceed IMF benchmarks.

While demand for US dollars is slowly increasing, central bank interventions have so far helped ease pressure on the currency.

ZESCO and PowerChina Sign Phase 2 Agreement for Chisamba Solar Plant

On 16 July 2025, ZESCO officially signed the Phase 2 agreement for the Chisamba Solar Plant with PowerChina, expanding the project’s total capacity to 200MW. This significant milestone comes just 16 days after the successful commissioning of Phase 1 (100MW) which is now Zambia’s largest operational solar facility.

The agreement was witnessed by Republican President, Mr. Hakainde Hichilema, during the ongoing Invest Zambia International Conference, hosted by the Zambia Development Agency (ZDA) from 16 to 18 July 2025 at the Mulungushi International Conference Centre in Lusaka.

The expansion demonstrates PowerChina’s continued confidence in Zambia’s energy sector and aligns with President Hichilema’s 1,000MW Solar Explosion Agenda.

Once operational, the 200MW facility is expected to significantly enhance electricity supply, support industrial growth, and strengthen Zambia’s position in the regional power market.
