Nkwashi and other property development projects

Recently, I have been planning my future home and I remembered Nkwashi. From what I have seen, it looks like a quiet environment, which I prefer. For those who bought (and stay) in Nkwashi or other property development projects, is it a good investment?

Any guidance when it comes to choosing where to buy in these property development projects would be much appreciated.

What do you think about giving people a second chance after a public mistake?

I came across this Facebook post, where the author argues that these two women deserve a second chance instead of being demonized after publicly admitting they were wrong.

It's crazy how everyone reposted that man without context, without proof, and with no regard for reasonable doubt. I understand the need to stay alert about issues that genuinely happen, but notice how almost no one is reposting now to help clear his name. If you played a part in spreading the accusation, you have just as much of a moral responsibility to help correct the record.

It was a pleasure sharing these photos I posted in this group. This will be my last one!

If I find another photo about Zambia, I will definitely post it here :)

Does have Zambia with a puppet president

During the 1990s and 2000s, Grant Thornton Zambia (formerly Coopers & Lybrand) and its senior partner Hakainde Hichilema were heavily involved in the Zambian government's national privatisation programme.

The firm provided professional consulting, financial valuation, and receivership services for state-owned assets.

Overview:

The KCM Sale: For example, Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) was sold to Anglo American for $25 million. Critics pointed out that even in a depressed copper market, such assets were worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

When did we decide that "connections" and corruption are just "the way things work" in Zambia?

We’ve normalized a system where corruption isn’t just an event it’s a lifestyle. From the top, we see the systemic rot: tenders awarded through proxies, CDF funds drained, and public contracts given to party loyalists instead of those with merit. And at the bottom, we’ve adopted it too: paying to skip lines, paying for services, and calling bribery "ka something."

​We’ve reached a point where we don’t just accept these systems; we defend them. We defend politicians who exploit us, and we navigate the civil service by paying our way through. Why have we made peace with a reality where our national progress is sacrificed for personal "connections"? At what point do we stop saying "that's just how it is" and start demanding a system that actually serves the citizens?

What's your most unpopular opinion relating to Zambia?

For me, I think my most unpopular opinion would be Edgar Lungu(mhsrip) was the worst president Zambia has ever had.

He put Zambia in a lot of debt. I don't think I need to go any further.

I also remember when he was in power, the inflation was just wow. I vaguely remember it but there was a point when $1 was equal to K30. Holy inflation, that was so crazy!

Oh and not to be rude, but I never understood that guy unless there were subtitles 😭

Hbu?🙂

How to handle Zambian parents?

How do you deal with Zambian parents?I chose not to believe the norm of “Lusaka is for Business “ and decided to give myself a chance . I found myself in a talking stage with someone but things ended in a ripple effect. I’m honestly so embarrassed because it felt too good to be true. I was so excited about it, and now I feel silly for telling my parents about it in the first place. Not sure if I should have a pretend boyfriend to cover up my shame or just bear the repercussions?
Has this ever happened to anyone here? What was your conclusion?

Scope for a private clinic/ urgent care

I’m currently working as a doctor in Europe. I would love to relocate to Zambia and open up a GP clinic/ urgent care and provide a higher quality standard of care for my patients. I would be focusing on semi acute illnesses, chronic illnesses, lifestyle medicine, travel medicine, minor surgery, and basic diagnostic ultrasound. I want to know from those in the healthcare sector if this is feasible ? Both from the regulatory and financial aspects. Is there a market for such services in Zambia ? Would the population be able to afford such services ? Is there scope for growth ? Looking forward to hearing what you lovely people have to say. Thanks.
