The Zambian Kwacha: A Year of Strength...
Over the last 12 months, the Kwacha has appreciated by 51.9% against the USD (from ~K27.96 to ~K18.47).
This essentially means the local cost of USD-priced imports should have dropped by 33.9% factoring asymmetric scaling and inflation.
It's time for an evaluation of this assumption. What's your take? Do you feel that prices of commodities are responding, and add (with a reasonable explanation) which goods' prices need to come down based on the Kwacha appreciation.
Let's compare their cost over the last 12 months so we can work on needed interventions...
Zambia 🇿🇲 has the highest number of waterfalls in Africa, with more than 200 found across the country.
Among them is the mighty Mosi-oa-Tunya (Victoria Falls), known as the world’s greatest sheet of falling water and one of the most breathtaking natural wonders on Earth.
The Lungu family has until next week Thursday to file their appeal in South Africa over the repatriation of former President ECL's body. If they don't, the government of Zambia would be at liberty to proceed with burial plans. GRZ says they have not received a notice of appeal.
OPINION: Why Ghana-Zambia agreement on visa-free travel is a profound, radical and deeply political act in erasing the humiliating legacies of colonialism in Africa

@25Erasmus Every person has limits. TBH…. Ghanains have insulted, YouTubed, and thrown every type of shade and Zambians have been quiet and respectful. Accepted the insults and ignored them. Now we invite you into our home and you insult us? No, endani amai!

@FinegirlMaame@FaithAlakas In Zambian context, it was far from mockery, rather a question.
If you’re familiar with them, friendly, lighthearted banter is what carries the day… yes picking on heritage wasn’t the best move that’s why correction was required
One thing i can't stand is calling Zambians ignorant. Zambians probably know more about Ghanaian culture than Ghanaians. We listen to Ghanaian music, movies, we have Kwame Nkrumah university here, we have some knowledge of the foods you eat.
I hope our Ghanaian brothers and sisters are not looking to have a twar with us Zambians. There is nothing wrong with correcting and educating us on your traditional attires without ridiculing us. There is beauty in diversity!!
