Zambia's Progress Report: From Power Cuts to Farm Aid.

The man who speaks for Zambia's leaders shared good news on TV. Cornelius Mweetwa talked about plans to fix the nation's big problems.

More people want solar power, but the price stays high. The state has cleared taxes on solar goods, yet some shops ask for loads of cash. Trade chiefs plan to meet with shop owners to discuss fair prices.

Farmers got help right when they needed it. The state sent seeds and tools to a million small farms. The farmers hope the rain will come soon. The food bank paid its bills to those who grew corn.

Power cuts hit the capital city hard. Lusaka needs more power than towns like Kabwe or Chipata. The power firm ZESCO wants new ways to share what power they have.

Mines bring fresh hope for better days. Mopani digs up more copper than last year, and other mines do better work. The mines might pay much more tax next year.

Mr. Mweetwa spoke about old leader Edgar Lungu. The state won't grab him if he follows the law, he said. Leaders want to fix some old rules. They promise to ask what people think before they change things.

The TV talk showed how leaders try to improve life. They tackle hard jobs like power cuts and farm needs. Each fix helps build a stronger Zambia, piece by piece.

People watch these changes close. They want to see if seeds arrive on time. They hope for fair solar prices. They dream of days with steady power. Each small win counts toward a better life for all.
