  In Zambia, the challenge of frequent load shedding has become a daily reality for many households. The power outages, which occur with increasing regularity, disrupt daily routines and make simple tasks like cooking a significant challenge.

In a major breakthrough against smuggling and tax evasion, the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) has intercepted two trucks in Kapiri Mposhi carrying concealed alcoholic beverages disguised as rice, kapenta, and shoes. One of the trucks, with a horsepower of 380, had just 185 kilometers left to complete its 1,100 kilometer journey from Nakonde to Lusaka when alert ZRA officers at the Kapiri checkpoint uncovered the hidden cargo. What had been declared at the Nakonde border as a consignment of rice and kapenta turned out to be boxes of undeclared alcohol. In a separate but similar case, another truck claiming to be transporting shoes was also found to be carrying concealed alcohol. ZRA estimates the total revenue loss from the two smuggling attempts at approximately K750,000 . “These cases underscore the serious challenges we continue to face with smuggling and tax evasion,” said a ZRA official. “We are grateful to our officers for their vigilance and commitment to protecting the count...
