In an interview with BBC Africa, Zambia's new President, Hakainde Hichilema, said his government is discovering "horrifying" amounts of money being stolen. He added that his government would show "zero tolerance" towards corruption, and would get to the bottom of what he called the illicit movement of funds very soon.
President Hichilema also revealed that he planned to change the country’s constitution to allow more women into politics.
Hakainde Hichelema, who was sworn in a week ago, outlined his plans for devolution to communities, to ensure funds are decentralised to allow them to set their own priorities. Talks have also been taking place with Chinese entities as the full scale of the country's debt burden is revealed.

#China's presence is visible all over #Africa. But nowhere as much as in #Zambia, the African nation where it invested the most money last year. The ties between Beijing and Lusaka are strong and have existed for decades. Today, China possesses one third of Zambia's national debt. It has invested in the mining and industrial sectors, but also in agriculture. Some Zambians denounce this Chinese presence as a form of neo-colonialism.

Zambia has more than $12bn in external debt and an unknown amount of debt to China.
Last year, it became the first African state to default on its debt during the COVID pandemic.
Candidates in upcoming presidential elections are all trying to convince voters they have what it takes to turn the economy around.
But some economists warn against adding to Zambia’s debt load.

Some of the Zimbabwean farmers whose land the government seized for redistribution two decades ago moved to Zambia and have prospered. In the past year, those farmers started exporting food to Zimbabwe, which has been struggling with food insecurity, partly because of those land seizures. Columbus Mavhunga reports from Chisamba, Zambia.

Zambia's New Debt Restructuring Plan Vetoed by China-headed Committee | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Zambia has been dealt a blow in its efforts to restructure its debt. The country has been trying to find debt relief since its default in 2020.
China, France & South Africa are part of a committee of creditors overseeing Zambia's debt restructuring.
That committee has vetoed a plan to ease the pressure from $3 billion worth of Eurobonds.
The move has sent shockwaves through Zambia's already battered economy.
Palki Sharma explains.

Zambia has deployed soldiers to contain political violence which has broken out ahead of Thursday's general elections.
Several people have been killed in recent weeks.
There are 16 presidential candidates - but the main contenders are the incumbent - President Edgar Lungu and opposition leader Hakainde Hichilema – a businessman who has already made several unsuccessful presidential runs.
Five years ago Lungu narrowly defeated Hichilema.
The opposition alleged vote rigging and there was unrest.
Many here worry that history will repeat itself.
Al Jazeera's Haru Mutasa spoke to some of the victims' families, in Lusaka, Zambia.
