ZESCO SIGNS MOU WITH ZAANGO ASPIN LIMITED FOR 600MW GAS-FIRED POWER PROJECT

ZESCO Limited has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Zaango Aspin Limited for the development of a 600-megawatt (MW) gas-fired power project.

Speaking at the signing ceremony held on September 4, 2026 at Protea Hotel in Lusaka, ZESCO Limited Acting Managing Director, Mr. Fitzpatrick Kapepe, said:

“This agreement is an important milestone in our efforts to increase generation capacity and ensure adequate and reliable electricity supply to support Zambia’s socio-economic development.”

Mr. Kapepe added that ZESCO will continue to work with Independent Power Producers (IPPs) to accelerate investment in new generation projects to meet the country’s growing electricity demand.

Meanwhile, Zaango Aspin Limited Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Emilio Palu Matumbi, commended the Government for creating a conducive investment environment in Zambia’s energy sector.

“We thank the Government for creating an environment that gives investors the confidence to come to Zambia and invest in the energy sector. We further commend ZESCO for facilitating private-sector participation in the energy sector,” he said.

The signing comes as President Hakainde Hichilema begins his second term with the “Grow Zambia Agenda”, which sets ambitious economic targets for the next five years.

These include: 10 million tonnes of maize, 10,000MW of electricity, 5 million tourists, 3 million tonnes of copper, 3 million tonnes of Soyabeans, 1 million tonnes of wheat, 1 million tonnes of sugar, and USD $1 billion in beef exports.

Achieving these targets will require significant investment in the electricity sub-sector, a key driver of economic growth.

ZESCO has already moved to accelerate private sector participation to enhance the stability and reliability of electricity supply.

Once implemented, the 600MW gas-fired power project is expected to strengthen electricity supply to households, businesses, and industries, and contribute to Zambia’s long-term energy security and economic development.

ZAMBIA CANCELS SIX PASSPORTS OVER NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERNS

The Zambian Government has cancelled the passports of six individuals on security grounds, citing reasons in the interest of national security.

According to Government Gazette Notice No. 1421 of 2026, published in the Government Gazette dated Friday, September 11, 2026, the affected passports have been cancelled by the Registrar General’s Office under the National Registration, Passport and Citizenship Department.

The six individuals are Emmanuel Mwamba, Emmanuel Jay Banda, Binwell Mpundu, Peter Kaiser Zulu, Sishuwa Sishuwa and Lillian Mutambo.

The Gazette states that the cancelled documents are no longer valid for identification, travel or any official purpose.

It further warns that any use of the cancelled passports may constitute an offence, while relevant public institutions, including government agencies, border control authorities and law enforcement agencies, have been advised not to recognise or rely upon the documents.

The notice also directs any person in possession of any of the cancelled passports to immediately surrender the document to the Department of National Registration, Passport and Citizenship, or the Zambia Police.

The cancellation was dated September 7, 2026, and was issued under the authority of the Registrar General’s Office.

Security swoop nets 2 armed individuals at Hichilema's inauguration

ON the day when thousands of Zambians gathered at Lusaka's Heroes Stadium to witness President Hakainde Hichilema’s inauguration, alert members of the Defence and Security wings intercepted two men outside the venue with a cocktail of items that security officers deemed suspicious.

The items included AK-47 ammunition, a smoke gr***de, a machete and military tactical vests.

The suspects, identified only as Chanda and Bruno were found in an unregistered vehicle with several fake number plates during heightened security around the stadium.

And so it was on September 1, as the country gathered for the inauguration of the President and Vice President, that members of the defence and security stopped the vehicle and decided to have a closer look inside.

A search of the vehicle uncovered a full magazine of 7.62mm AK-47 ammunition and 18 empty cartridges of the same calibre.

They also recovered one smoke gr***de, one machete and two military tactical vests.

The suspects and the recovered items were immediately handed over to the Zambia Police Service for further investigations.

The arrest came after security agencies had heightened security at and around Heroes Stadium following divisive statements issued by some bloggers, with some reportedly threatening to disrupt the inauguration and endanger the life of the President.

The Defence and Security Wings have in the past weeks said their role is to protect Zambia’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, peace and stability and to act whenever national security is under threat.

The security agencies have also warned Zambians against being misled or incited by individuals, particularly those outside the country, who use social media platforms to divide the nation for personal gain.

The Zambia Police Service is yet to comment on the apprehension of the armed individual.
