Mama G lands in Lusaka for film project

THERE was a buzz in Lusaka this afternoon as Nollywood legend Patience Ozokwo, fondly known as Mama G, quietly arrived in the country ahead of a major film production.

The celebrated actress is in Zambia for a new project titled The Family Affair, currently being shot locally in what is shaping up to be one of the most exciting collaborations between Nigerian and Zambian filmmakers.

The Family Affair producer and founder of Kazadi Films, David Kazadi did not hold back his excitement, announcing her arrival with a bold statement on his page: “THE TITAN HAS ARRIVED!”—a nod to her status as one of Nollywood’s most respected figures.

Filming has already started, with Ozokwo working alongside local actors, whose names are expected to be unveiled soon.

The production is being driven by Basali Media in partnership with Kazadi Films, a collaboration industry players say could help raise the bar for Zambian cinema.

Zambia Launches New HIV Prevention Option for Women

By Alice Lubasi

New HIV infections in Zambia have dropped from 63,000 in 2010 to 30,000 in 2025, while AIDS-related deaths have decreased from 25,000 to 15,000 during the same period.

Health Minister Dr. Alex Katakwe said this when he launched the Dapivirine Vaginal Ring (DVR), a new HIV prevention option for women and adolescent girls, in Lusaka today.

Dr. Katakwe noted that the launch marks an important step towards ending HIV by 2030.

Meanwhile, National AIDS Council Acting Director of Programs Violet Mongeza said the Council will work with the Ministry in coordinating and monitoring the use of DVR, which will be applied for pre-exposure prophylaxis only and not for HIV treatment.

Planned Parenthood Association of Zambia Representative Lester Phiri described DVR as a valuable addition to the country’s innovations in HIV prevention.

Ascend Futures Foundation Executive Director Chilufya Kasanda added that the launch of DVR gives women autonomy over their health while addressing social and structural barriers.
