The Presidential solar milling plant empowerment in Mwinilunga District of North-Western Province has started bearing fruits.
Kapelupelu Women Multipurpose Cooperative working with Mwinilunga District Show Society has started producing breakfast Mealie Meal using the Presidential hammer mill empowerment at affordable prices.
Mwinilunga District Show Society Chairperson, George Mbimbi said the joint venture with the cooperative is a good move because it will help Mealie Meal prices to reduce in the district.
Witnessing the official launch of the milling project, District Administrative Officer, Kelvin Ndandanda expressed happiness that the solar milling plants which are an initiative of President Edgar Lungu are bearing desired results.
“The initiative by Kapelupelu Women Multipurpose Cooperative together with Mwinilunga district show society creates self-reliance, sustainability as well as job creation in the district.
“I appeal to other cooperatives in the district to emulate Kapelupelu Women Multipurpose Cooperative,” Mr. Ndandanda said.
Speaking at the same event, Mwinilunga District Cooperative Development Officer, Desmond Simfukwe said he is delighted with the initiative taken by the cooperative and the show society as one of government’s desire is to see value addition from the cooperatives to make money, more profit, and improve their lives.
Mr Simfukwe also appealed to other cooperatives in the district to add value to their products in order to further reduce Mealie Meal prices in the district.
Solar Milling Plants were MMD’s Rupiah Banda’s idea. Point of correction
it is very important to know the difference between State and Government….just saying
What fruits when the price of mealie meal is very high. Ask MMD where they left a 25kg of mealie meal and compare with the current scenario
Is cost accounting taking place in these milling plants?
This project has proven to be a boon for people of Mwinilunga District of North-Western Province. This is the women empowerment in true sense. Rest all are just tall talks. President Edgar C Lungu is letting his work speak, rather than false claims and talks in air. Today Zambia needs someone who has people and country his top priority. Unfortunately, we are seeing the heinous face of politics in the country. Those criticising the government unnecessarily, must read this and other similar stories happening across Zambia. People want to live peacefully and grow steadily. We are not interested in the violence and anarchy, some Opposition leaders are trying to fuel.
#Yaks, you have ears but you don’t listen, you have eyes but you don’t listen. Everything is warped in your head.
Positive development. I enjoy watching the demonic upnd diasporans get angry at positive developments in our country. Hahaha look at the anger in them. You will die of stress you f00ls
The milling project being run at affordable prices will greatly impact the Mealie Meal prices in the region. It will bring respite to the needy and prosperity to those who are producing it. This won’t have been possible without the power supply at affordable rates. It is not only affordable, but also eco-friendly! This is called visionary leadership!
This is an example to be emulated by other cooperatives in the country. This is the right time to take advantage of various government schemes. It will revive the economy must faster than estimated. People of Zambia should concentrate on their growth and not get carried away by the sweet talks of some wicked politicians.
There is a huge malibou of Chinese solar milling plants all over the country as a white elephant project. One is in my village and people tell me not even 1kg of mealie meal has come out of it. Again cheating common Zambians – budge of PF ‘Not Kubeba’
Facilities like this will prove highly helpful to the people. Not just the milling projects, but solar power can be used to illuminate houses and lives of millions of Zambians. This is nothing but the beginning of prosperity of people.
Well done Mwinilunga! The women members of the cooperative are the real brand ambassadors of growth and prosperity of Zambia. They have set an example of how to avail of the government projects meant for people’s welfare. The credit for this amazing development also goes to President Lungu. It is for his vision and urge for women empowerment, that the results have been achieved.
How is a mill “bearing fruit”? You put in maize and it produces mangos?
Indeed, this Presidential initiative sounds like powerful stuff!
