  1. LT where is the story? Anyway, in Cameroon they are making charcoal out of maize rubbish. We need to ban the cutting of trees for charcoal

  2. SO, WHAT IS THE GOVERNMENT DOING IN ORDER TO PROMOTE THESE WOMEN TO A COMMERCIAL LEVEL OF THEIR INGENIOUS METHOD OF PRODUCING CHARCOAL? ONE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IT IS ACTUALLY THE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AT MOUNT MAKULU WHO SHOULD HAVE COME UP WITH THIS SOLUTION. BUT, HEY! OUR SCIENTISTS ARE ALWAYS IMMERSED IN UN PRACTICAL AND WORKABLE THEORIES. SO, WHO ARE INGENIOUS? OUR SCIENTISTS OR OUR WOMEN WITH OR WITHOUT EDUCATION. I WOULD SAY OUR WOMEN. CUTTING DOWN TREES FOR CHARCOAL IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. BUT ONE WONDERS WHY OUR SCIENTISTS HAVE NEVER COME UP WITH ANY SOLUTION(S). HATS OFF TO THESE WOMEN. THEY DESERVE A LOAN TO ACQUIRE PROPER MIXING AND MOLDING MACHINE AND SET UP IN ONE OF THE MFEZs. THIS HAS ALSO GIVEN AN INCENTIVE TO CASSAVA AND MAIZE FARMERS. THESE WOMEN ARE REAL THINKERS.

    • Chances are high that there is a scientist behind this innovation, but wants the women to be in the forefront.

      And by the way, some of these innovations are all over the internet.

    • THE OTHER THING I WOULD LIKE TO ADVISE THE INNOVATOR ABOUT IS SERIOUSLY TO OBTAIN PATENTS AND COPY RIGHTS FOR HER INNOVATION. I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THIS IS AN INTELLIGENT INNOVATION THAT IS COMMITTED TO ENERGY PRODUCTION PRACTICES THAT ARE BOTH ETHICAL AND ECO-FRIENDLY. BEFORE YOU KNOW IT PEOPLE WILL BE CLAIMING TO BE INNOVATORS. AND I HOPE THAT ZAMBIA DEVELOPMENT AGENT (ZDA) ARE PROACTIVE TO INVITE YOU WITH A VIEW TO DISCUSSING PATENTS AND COPY RIGHTS SO THAT YOU ARE NOT EXPLOITED BY SCAVENGERS OUT THERE ALLOVER THE GLOBE. TAKE MY ADVICE SERIOUSLY. IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT AM TALKING ABOUT- SIMPLY FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO START MAKING YOUR PRODUCT HE/SHE MUST GET PERMISSION FROM YOU OR ELSE FACE PROSECUTION IN INDUSTRIAL COURTS. NO ONE CAN REPRODUCE A BENZ CAR WITHOUT GETTING PERMISSION FROM…

  3. How can a black man be called Davies? Why don’t white people call themselves Chama or Lungu or Maimbo or Siliya? They cannot. Because whites are of the opinion anything African is primitive. Chama is one of those primitive pagan names so they cant adopt it but you must use their names because you aspire to be white. Dont you blacks have names that you are proud of? Why dont white people copy what blacks do but blacks are copying everything the white man does? If the white man starts shitting on his dinner table black people will start doing the same.

  4. Zambian women are natural scientists. look at what they have inverted. preparing chikanda, delele kachasu, and many more. now its charcoal…bravo Zambian woman. not abamu town…govt should support these women ukubalishani ati shani??…please

  5. Thank you LT for finally positing the video. So the guys in Kasempa are using same material like what the people in Cameroon are using. This is what GRZ should encourage in all provinces and them make it illegal to cut trees for charcoal.

  6. I pray that these women are supported and enabled. Knowing Zambia there will be a few trots to State House and before you know it some funny investor will be given huge incentive to open a factory to do exactly that. This is why we do not have home grown billionaires as we should. Remember what they did to the palm oil producers in Luapula…

  7. This is very good initiative, you can also use leaves to make the same charcoal. In the video that Save Environment and People Agency (SEPA) the video entitled Environmental Challenges in North Western, we talked about this initiative, Province If the government can empower these women with good machines. We also need to train more people so that we preserve our trees. North Western Province is the only Province which still have forest in Zambia, but at the rate we are going i am afraid we will soon finish the all the trees. Even big mining companies can come in and support this good initiative. Desertification is real. Man will suffer because of his activities towards the environment. God is also prepared to come and judge the people who are ruing the mother earth Revelation 11 vs 18…
