Kawambwa, Zambia – 13th July, 2026 – Kawambwa Town Council is pleased to announce the successful electrification of the new market, marking another significant milestone to the operationalization of the market.
The completion of the electricity connection means that market traders will now have access to reliable power, enabling them to operate more efficiently and expand the range of goods and services they offer. The development is expected to improve business operations, enhance security, and create a more attractive trading environment for both vendors and customers.
This achievement signifies the Council’s commitment to delivering quality public services and investing in infrastructure that supports sustainable local economic development. Access to electricity will benefit traders dealing in products that require refrigeration and proper lighting, while also creating opportunities for businesses that rely on electrical equipment to provide services.
Speaking on the development, Kawambwa Town Council Secretary, Mr George Biemba reaffirmed the Council’s commitment to improving market facilities and ensuring that public infrastructure meets the needs of the growing business community. Mr Biemba noted that the electrification of the new market is part of broader efforts to modernize trading spaces, promote entrepreneurship, and improve the livelihoods of residents within the district.
As preparations continue for the full operationalization of the new market, traders are encouraged to take advantage of the improved facilities and conduct their businesses responsibly while helping to maintain a clean, safe, and orderly trading environment.
