FOLLOWING ……………
We are so behind. This is not something to brag about; western countries have been doing this for decades. Our priorities are misplaced.
Another milestone by this Great Government of President Lungu.
These things were never there during Mwanawasa all the WORLD BREAKING events in Zambia and including the correct decision to procure the Fire-brigade Trucks are all events that are happening at his tenure.
When you vote in 2021, please remember who is responsible for these events that have all the naysayers’ chins dropped/
I live in Europe and have a White fiance and I can attest that as much as we WERE behind in the past we are catching up the most exciting and fast growing country in the UK and Europe in Scotland.
Only President Lungu will ensure this growth and world class turning of Zambia into a third world country without corruption.
Our gift from above – President Lungu so I know what I’m talking about…
I hold a PhD
Thanks

Woe to anyone who entrusts their bank information with these scammers! $42m for firetrucks
Is this the way we pay bills with debit card, check bank balance on phone or send money to Zambia with MoneyGram or Western Union online?
What is this you are discussing?
@Mushota you forgot to mention you’re also a mental patient apart from having a fake PhD and an old white cockroach for a fiance..!
@Ntaulu, #1.1, so what? WHy are you guys always so negative? Africans are the sole killers of themselves. Yes they have been doing and we have started too and are going somewhere. Wow! Congratulations Zamtel! Please keep on working hard and find solutions to half or overtake other cell phone providers’ number of clients in Zambia! They are raking in millions at the expense of Zambia and customers.
Progress PF. But Barclays Africa …….going or staying? Did they not announce closure of the Africa business?

When shown a billion dollars for a road stretching a few hundred kilometres… I suppose they’ve been given enough reason for wanting to stay in THIS country.
WeChat/Alipay online payment.
You have a bank account. Let’s say with standard chartered bank.
You download WeChat/Alipay .
Thereafter you make an account that has the same names as your bank account and put in your phone number
You scan your bank card. And put in your account number plus the phone number linked to your bank account
You can have two different accounts at the same time E.g one stanbic bank account and the other Barclays.
you can choose to have your money on WeChat Or directly in your bank account.
So if I want to send “Chanda” money. I go to her wechat. And select transfer.
I choose the amount. The bank card I want to use to send her money. Put in my code And send her money just like that. And she receives it instantly.
When she gets the…
When she gets the money. She can keep it on WeChat. Or withdraw it into her account.
If she withdraws it to her account
It will take two hours before it reflects in the account
You can buy airtime
Train or plane tickets onlines using this app
Plus buy anything from a shop using these apps as long as the store has a WeChat account. You simply scan their barcode and pay for your goods.
That’s were we should be going. Not this. Must we always be behind in everything.
