Plans to construct the Hakainde Hichilema (HH) Mall at the Natural Resources Development College (NRDC) are underway, Acacia Trade and Development Consultancy Group Director Dr Kelvin Kamayoyo has disclosed.

Speaking at the Build Zambia Expo in Lusaka, Dr Kamayoyo said the development will include a fifteen-storey five-star hotel, premium retail and anchor stores, and corporate office towers.

He said the world-class facility will also house Southern African Development Community (SADC) and Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) Gold Trading centres and is expected to create jobs for local people.

Dr Kamayoyo said the proposed name symbolises national economic transformation and prosperity for all Zambians.

He further announced a plan to build 5,000 modern housing units in mining towns and other areas, aligned with the Grow Zambia Agenda's pillars of growth, inclusion and sustainability.

He noted that the agenda provides quick wins and a long-term economic transformation pathway, with a multiplier effect on Gross Domestic Product (GDP), employment and over 20 linked industries.

He added that partners from the USA, UK, Singapore and the Middle East are ready to commence the projects with 80 percent capital injection.

Dr Kamayoyo said Acacia has initiated discussions with the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) and looks forward to engagements with the National Pension Scheme Authority (NAPSA), National Council for Construction (NCC), National Housing Authority (NHA) and other stakeholders on deal finalisation, feasibility and implementation.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ROMA MP KASIKILI HANDS OVER BOREHOLE IN MAZYOPA, FULFILLS CAMPAIGN PLEDGE

Lusaka – 25th September, 2026

Roma Constituency Member of Parliament, Mr. Ross Josphat Kasikili, has handed over a newly constructed borehole to residents of Mazyopa Compound in Lusaka, fulfilling a key pledge he made during his campaign trails.

Speaking during the handover ceremony yesterday, Mr. Kasikili said the promise, which many dismissed as mere politicking, was made with full commitment to address water challenges in the area.

"This promise was made with full commitment to address water challenges in our area," Mr. Kasikili said.

He noted that what was once seen as politicking has now become a tangible community development project that directly improves residents' daily lives.

The borehole will provide clean and safe drinking water to the community free of charge and is expected to benefit households that have long faced challenges accessing a dependable water source.

"Water is life and access to it remains a priority of my leadership. My leadership is anchored on service to the people and development," Mr. Kasikili stated.

The lawmaker appealed to the community to take ownership of the facility and protect it from vandalism and misuse so that it can continue serving the community for many years.

"Anyone who attempts to damage this borehole should be treated as a criminal and an enemy of the community," he warned.

He further emphasized that the facility belongs to the community and its sustainability depends on residents working together to safeguard it for future generations.

Meanwhile, residents of Mazyopa Compound have thanked the Member of Parliament for his commitment to delivering clean water to the area.

The residents said they had faced challenges in accessing clean and safe drinking water, with some having to pay for water which will now be accessed at no cost.

They have encouraged the MP to continue with his developmental agenda across Roma Constituency.

The development underscores the UPND Government's commitment to ensuring access to safe and reliable water as fundamental to healthier communities, improved livelihoods and sustainable local development.
