Zambia: President Hakainde Hichilema has urged investors to capitalise on Zambia's favourable business environment, citing a recent upgrade of Chilanga Cement's plant in Ndola as proof of government support. Speaking via Minister of Mines Paul Kabuswe during the plant’s commissioning, the President highlighted that its daily cement capacity tripled from 500t/day to 1500t/day. The US$25m upgrade, its first since 1969, also included a new lime production line with an annual capacity of 100,000t/yr.
