It is Easter, and yes, some of us went to church. But let's be real, a good number of us are horizontal, phone in hand, scrolling through absolutely nothing useful. So, since you are already there, we might as well make the scrolling count. Here are five Zambian content creators who are actually worth your time this long weekend.

You don't have to fly out to experience world-class art. Right here in Lusaka, a handful of small, under-the-radar galleries are creating spaces that are raw, real, and genuinely worth your Saturday afternoon.

Imagine Lusaka at 02:00. Shops open, buses running, people working shifts as if it is midday. That is the idea behind Zambia’s new 24-hour economy policy. It sounds exciting, and for many, it could mean more money and more opportunities.

Kuomboka is not just a ceremony you attend and tick off your list. It is an experience. If you are heading to Mongu for Kuomboka 2026, this is your guide that shows you what really happens during the ceremony, what you should never do in front of the Litunga, and simple Lozi phrases that will help you get around.

Zambia’s health sector has long relied on international partners to keep hospitals stocked, clinics open and lifesaving programmes running. Can Zambia afford to walk away from that support, and what does it mean for ordinary citizens who rely on public healthcare?

For millions of Zambians, NHIMA was supposed to mean dignity at the clinic door. No more begging for treatment. No more watching relatives suffer because the money wasn't there.

Inflation is finally easing after years of squeezing our pockets, and real opportunities are opening up. Whether you're job hunting, running a small business or just trying to make your kwacha stretch further, you need to know what these numbers actually mean for your daily life.

Picture this: thousands gathering in traditional regalia, the air thick with anticipation, drums echoing across the sacred grounds. Ncwala 2025 was spectacular, and if you missed it, you definitely want to be there for 2026.

The end of the year isn't just about parties and resolutions—it's the perfect time to sort out your money situation. Whether you've been spending like there's no tomorrow or carefully counting every ngwee, December is your chance to reset.

Conversations on Zambian social media in December sparked debates nationwide. Yo Maps revealed family loyalties, Triple M defended boundaries in grief, and Naomi Pilbara challenged beauty standards. If you missed the buzz, here’s what made these podcast episodes unmissable.

Remember when we told you how to spend 72 hours in Lusaka? Well, the city's moved on, and so have we. New spots have opened, old favourites have got even better, and there's a cemetery you absolutely need to visit (yes, really). This is everything that's changed since our last guide, because Lusaka in 2025 is not the same city it was before.

Remember when your grandmother told you not to sweep at night? Or that time your auntie gave you a proper telling-off for stepping over someone's legs? Growing up, we all heard these warnings, and most of us dismissed them as old-fashioned nonsense.

The power cuts. The signal drops. And life hits pause. So what are networks doing to keep Zambia connected?

Ready to turn up? Zambia's music scene is absolutely buzzing right now, and if you haven't updated your playlist lately, you're seriously missing out. From heartfelt love songs to street anthems that'll have you on your feet, our artists are serving us pure fire.

Kasaba Bay wasn't just another beautiful spot on Lake Tanganyika. For Kenneth Kaunda, Zambia's first president, it was where politics met family, where national announcements were made, and where history was written.

If you've got toddlers bouncing off the walls or teens rolling their eyes at "family time," Lusaka's got you covered. We're talking proper outdoor adventures, hands-on learning that doesn't feel like school, and places where you can actually relax while the kids burn energy.
