THE DIRECTOR
SWIFT FREIGHT INTERNATIONAL LTD
PLOT NO. 2397 LONGOLONGO ROAD
LUSAKA.
Zambia has a well developed road net work linking all districts and major towns. The country is carrying out an intensive rehabilitation of it’s truck and feeder roads under a program known as road sector investment program (ROAD SIP). The country also has a railway cutting across the country from the south (coming from Zimbabwe) to the north (getting in to Congo DR) from the central province a railway line branches off towards the east in to Tanzania (TAZARA). Transport is expensive to connect from one place to another. Most people prefer using road transport.
The transport industry has improved than it was 10 years ago. This time they have introduced a number of privately owned luxury passenger coaches that operate on most of the routes.
The cheapest means of transport is the railway but people prefer using the road route because the services are better and it doesn’t take long to reach the destination. The train ticket from the southern part of Zambia to Lusaka first class is about K 25,000 to 30,000 which is about US$ 5 to US$ 6.
The cost of fuel is high 1 litre premium petrol is K 3,330 (less than a Dollar). Diesel is K 2,745 average (less than a Dollar).
Since the prices of fuel are high, it’s expensive to travel by taxi with in the capital and from the capital to another city. On average an amount of US$ 0.016 per every kilometer is paid as bus fare from the capital to another city. For instance if you are traveling from the capital to Livingstone is about 600 km which is almost K 40,000. Booking a taxi if you want to commute with in the capital is about US$ 10.
Telephone, postal, and e-mail services are available. The cheapest means of communication is by post with in locally and out side the country.
Zambian communication facilities are mostly digital in nature. Landline growth has been fairly stagnant due to lack of infrastructure investment, vandalism and high mobile phone penetration. According to The CIA World Factbook, there are 84,000 telephone-lines plus 40,000 telephones in wireless local loop connections. 80,000 mobile phones are in use.
Less than 10 % of the house holds have telephones. There are three mobile phone service providers namely Zamtel, Telecel, and Celtel. The cheapest means of services comes from Zamtel. Celtel and Telecel have the same line of service in that they don't use the Zambian currency. Their services are offered in US $. A scratch card for air time starts from US$ 5 which you can use for a few minutes.
Mobile phones are very easy to acquire. It has been proved to be very efficient but it will always depend on an individuals' income in order to maintain a mobile phone and other means of communication.
The way through internet (computer) is not easy to acquire. Most of the schools in Zambia both primary level and upper level of education are not equipped with computers. According to the CIA World Factbook, there are 20,000 Internet-users in Zambia.
All the internet cafés are very expensive. Average usage of the internet is about US$ 7 per hour.
Information received from red cross (RC), Zambia is one of the highly indebted poor country. It has a very high cost of living. About 80 % of the Zambian population live below the poverty line.
The average cost of transport affects employees connecting from one place to another or rather going to their work place. Some cannot manage, but public transport is available. The average bus ticket within the local coverage area (within Lusaka) is about K 1,500 to reach town which is less than 1 US$.
The major Hotels in Zambia (Lusaka) are Holiday Inn, Pamodzi Hotel, Intercontinental, Sun City (in Livingstone) New fair Mount Hotel and New Savoy Hotel (in Ndola). There are also motels and lodges ranging from US$ 50 and above.
Food is expensive in that there is a high cost of living in Zambia such that Zambians can only manage to buy food from the low class market for instance in Lusaka city market (soweto). Most of the local products are sold there. The average adequate income that most Zambians are living on is less than 1 US$ a day.
Some of the basic needs are never met (shelter, food, clothing etc).
Car expenditure is expensive in that fuel is very expensive in the country because their is a levy that provides revenue for road sector investment program (ROAD SIP).
As for this rental cars are also available on average an amount of 40 US$ is charged per day with every kilometre travelled attracting a fee of 20 cents.
Fuel is quite expensive that most young entrepreneurs are getting fuel from neighbouring countries and smuggling it. The gap is very wide between the rich and the poor hence not everyone can afford to own a vehicle.
House expenditure have become so high in that the cost of living is high.
For instance a family of six in Lusaka, the basic cost of food items is as follows. (1 US$=K 4,650)
| Commodity | Kwacha | Quantity | Total |
| mealie meal | 34,500 | 3 * 25 kg | 103,500 |
| beans | 4,300 | 2 kg | 8,600 |
| kapenta | 37,000 | 1 kg | 37,000 |
| dry fish | 13,000 | 1 kg | 13,000 |
| meat | 7,500 | 4 kg | 30,000 |
| eggs | 3,100 | 2 units | 6,200 |
| Vegetable (greens) | 1,500 | 75 kg | 11,250 |
| tomato | 3,000 | 4 kg | 12,000 |
| onion | 2,100 | 4 kg | 8,400 |
| milk | 2,400 | 2 litres | 4,800 |
| cooking oil | 12,000 | 4 litres | 24,000 |
| bread | 1,500 | 1 loaf/ day | 45,000 |
| sugar | 3,300 | 8 * 1kg | 26,000 |
| salt | 1,200 | 1 kg | 1,200 |
| tea leaves | 5,000 | 500 g | 5,000 |
| sub total: ZMK 336,300 |
From the table above you will see that most Zambians are not able to afford their basic needs because most of them are getting a salary amount of about K 280,000, which is about 60 US$ that hardly meets the sub total in the table above.
The table above reflecting the monthly budget of daily requirement is restricted only to the mid-class of the Zambian society.
Most Zambian families range from 5 to 10 such that they can barely meet their basic needs. As for other necessities like taking their children to school through college, Most Zambians can not afford as a result there is an increase in the school drop-outs. So you find that education is expensive for an ordinary Zambian.
Rentals in the capital city (Lusaka) both residential and business premises are more expensive than in other towns. Prices range from 300 US$ to 1.000 US$ for business. As for renting a house in a residential area is about 500 US$ to 1.000 US$ per month and sometimes above that.
Average adequate income for an ordinary Zambian is about K 250,000, which is about 50 US$. The country has only one social security scheme which covers all employees in both public and private sectors.
In Zambia, we have had cases of malnutrition among children. This is actually the result of the poverty level. Mostly the cases are from rural areas and is the leading cause of deaths among children in Zambia. In the battle to reduce mortality from malnutrition, partnership is crucial since each player brings a different strength and talent to bear. The case partners of the initiative are the Zambian Red Cross, Women for Change, Peace Foundation (under first President of Zambia Kenneth Kaunda David Kaundas) and Zambia musicians. Above these the World Food Program is in control and considers the administration of all programs behind the children's welfare in Zambia.
And all these programs in Zambia have dropping in centres were they keep homeless children orphans and neglected children. They provide food, shelter clothing and education for this children in collaboration with the UNHCR, WHO and UNICEF. These organizations believe that every child has a right to get a good education and should have good health and shelter.
Information by Zambia Red Cross
Most of the people in Zambia are living below the poverty level and the living conditions are more than difficult, and access to health care is minimal. The country is in crisis and health conditions are extremly poor. This has lead to a high death rate.
Food is available, but the main problem is money. Most of the families cannot afford to have 3 meals a day. Most of them are living on one meal a day.
Zambia's staple food is maize meal. The past 3 years, we have not been producing alot because of the rains. Recently we have been importing maize. And as a result the mealie meal (maize meal) has become expensive, 25 kg is being sold at US$ 16.
The Amercian government came to help, they decided to donate Genetically Modified Foods (GMOs) but our President Mr. Levy Patrick Mwanawasa refused, in that this may have an effect on the Zambian people. But this issue is still being discussed, otherwise we still have a problem with our staple food. Some other African countries are eating the Genetically Modified Foods (GMOs). In Zimbabwe, President Robert Mugabe has accepted the GMOs as their economy is in crisis like Zambia.
Water ia not really a problem in Zambia, because the country is so rich in natural resources. Zambia has a number of rivers and lakes in most parts of the country, we have lakes in most parts of the country, namely: Lake Tanganyika being shared with Tanzania in the Northern Province; Lake Mweru and Lake Bangweulu are in Luapula province; Zambezi river branches from the Southern part of the country. Having all these lakes and rivers, water is available in Zambia.
As for this reason water and sanitation is well observed by only one company in Zambia called the Water and Sewerage Company Ltd and it has branches in all parts of the country. It's main duty is to make sure that people conserve water. In rural areas they educate people there to treat their water with chlorine. They also fix leaking taps and toilets, if they are any leakages people have to report.
Water and sanitation is not free in Zambia. Each branch has an area manager, meter readings are observed every month. The rental charge per meter is K 4,000 which is almost US$ 1. Most of the people in rural areas turn to have water well.
Power supply is efficient in Zambia and we also have one company in Zambia that supplies in most of the houses. The company is called Zambia Electricity Supply Company Ltd (ZESCO).
ZESCO is the most interesting company in Zambia. Every year it employs alot of people. Previously, some 10 to 15 years ago villages never had power. But it has now been an achievement that power is also supplied in rural areas.
The main problem for each and every individual with a house connected with power is the setting of electricity bills. Because at the end of the day we all need electricity but the rental charges are too high. There is a condition that if customers fail to pay three times they will be removed from the Direct Debit and Credit clearing (DDACC). The DDACC is ZESCO`S simple and efficient way of collecting money from their customers through the bank meaning that customers with bank accounts can pay their electricity bills directly from their bank account.
Malaria, diarrhea and tuberculosis (TB) are the leading cause of deaths among people in Zambia. Hepatitis is also a common disease in Zambia. Malaria is very much on the increase and most people decide to go to the clinics when they fail to treat themselves with other medication.
In places where health conditions are extremely poor like the rural areas, the living conditions are more than difficult and access to health care is minimal hence these diseases kill. People die directly from these diseases in that, we do not have appropriate medicine always and poor people can't pay for it. UNICEF, WHO and the Ministry of Health have contributed a great deal in providing medicine at the university teaching hospital (UTH) and medical facilities.
UNICEF believes that every child has the right to be immunized and protected from vaccine preventable diseases. In Zambia the national immunization day is held 2 to 3 times in a year and the campaign is so effective through the Zambia Red Cross. The campaign occurs 3 to 4 years after the initial mass campaign for children under five years of age who did not receive the vaccine during the first campaign. Through these campaign deaths are been prevented.
Many people are dying from HIV / AIDS. In Zambia about 60 % of the population is affected with HIV / AIDS. The campaign of HIV/AIDS is still on in Zambia. Mostly the Zambia Red Cross takes care of the victims and fight against farther spread of this disease. Hence they are promoting the use of condoms if people can't abstain.
In the last 2 years about 2,000 babies were born with HIV / AIDS.
In Zambia there are many groups supporting women, children in need, teenager, physically or mentally handicapped and senior citizens. The projects are made possible by the courage and commitment of the individuals who are prepared to share there suffering in open.
In Zambia the main programs that are concerned with the welfare of these individuals are Red Cross (RC), Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA), Women for change, Children in need (CHIN), the peace foundation with the first President of Zambia (Kenneth Kaunda)and the Society for family health (SFH).
About 60 % of the Zambian population is infected with the HIV/AIDS. From these programs there's been a positive response portraying personal stories of men, women and children living with or affected by HIV / AIDS. The project in these programs educates by showing what individuals and communities can do to deal with the problem often with little resources, by doing so they make a difference society.
Kenneth Kaunda Foundation is mostly concerned with orphans and mainly children who have lost their parents through HIV/AIDS. The children are educated and are provided with all the necessary requirements for there daily living.
Red Cross has a drop in center in the side of town with in Lusaka (Garden Compound). Their center has 30 kids that they got from the streets. The center was opened in 1991 and since then the have had great achievements. Though it has had problem in actually feeding them. And hence some turn to go back on the street. Since 1991 until today they have educated a lot of children. They educate them in carpentry and tailoring. By now 10 children became security officers at ARMCOR (security company), about 6 are bus drivers and one is a motor engineer.
The drop in center can do a lot than what it is doing, but it has a lot of problems, that makes some of the kids to go back on the streets and make money. The center can accommodate over 60 children, but it can't get more due to the fact that it does not have enough facilities to accommodate them, mainly the necessary requirements are; feeding them, clothing them, school requirements. They have children that are orphans; some are neglected because of the high cost of living in Zambia. And mostly, the children there have lost their parents through HIV/AIDS.
Miss Lilian Chikoti, the head of the center, knows each and every child like her own and she also said that her worst moments are the times when some of these children run away and decide to go back on the streets. And mainly the children that run away are from the age of 12 and above. They turn to have two meals a day and if they go to the worst it is a meal a day. This year in the center the youngest child is 6 years old. And some of the kids are very good in sport and music and there is a boy who is very good in artwork.

In Zambia women are contributing in the economic development, programs like YWCA and women for change are contributing fully in helping women in society. They tend to have workshop, discussing the economic situations in Zambia and mainly HIV / AIDS pandemic.
The YWCA and YFC are related in that they support women, teenagers and single mothers.
Lately, children as well have benefited from these programs. In rural areas the women for change have built schools hence educating the children in rural areas. There also educating women in rural areas on how to live in society, about HIV / AIDS, the use of condoms and family planning.
In Zambia, it is believed that the life of a refugee is highly considered in Zambia, hence without care there can be no help in accommodating refugees, orphans and elderly people. They are certain organizations that are concerned in the welfare of these people. The Zambian Red Cross (RC) has quite a number of refugees camps. They educate these refugees and provide them with necessary requirements.

There is a big problem in Zambia were the pensioners are concerned. People in the public pensions board building complain about accommodation. They have been waiting for two months but still their pensions have not been sorted out and the worst thing is that accommodation is not provided and so they sleep on the streets.
The educational system in Zambia has changed since 1991 due to the political status. During the time of the first president Kenneth Kaundas education was free. The government used to pay for everything and there was a minimal fee to pay.
The educational system in Zambia starts from kindergarten, followed by primary education for 7 years, secondary education for 5 years and the o’Level inclusive that’s (higher education).
Mostly, kindergarten is between the age of 3 to 6. Primary education starts with grade 1 at the age of 6 to 8. After 7 years an written examination will follow. This examination is necessary for being accepted into secondary level (higher education).
For 2 years in higher education pupils write examinationsto be accepted to study the senior level of higher education (o’levels)
| Age | Level of education | Duration |
| 3 to 6 | kindergarten | 2 years |
| 6 to 12/13 | primary education | 7 years |
| 13 to 14/15 | junior secondary | 2 years |
| 15 to 18 | senior secondary | 3 years |
| 18 and above | O’levels | 1 year |
| Vocational training / University | 4 / 7 years |
The Ministry of Education in Zambia is involved in financing all the schools in Zambia. It has to make sure that all the schools are equipped with the necessary school requirements (desks, chairs, chalk and some text books) but it can’t meet all the requirements due to the economic situation in Zambia. It’s not only the school requirements but the teachers/lecturers are not paid well. That’s why from time to time they go on strike.
Today in Zambia, the education system is so low because Zambia is one of the highly indebted poor countries. Most of the students in Zambia cannot finish their studies because they can’t afford to pay school fees and examination fees. The school requirements like textbooks and exercise books are very expensive.
Private institutions are very expensive institutions, for instance in Lusaka (ZIBC, ZAMIM, ZCAS). They are privileged to have good services. Most of the students are under sponsorship (workers from private companies) and possibly the government. For instance if someone is studying accounts (ACCA) at ZCAS, the cheapest fee starts from US$ 300 (foundation level) and to complete the whole course, one has to pay US$ 1.000, boarding inclusive. This is the average amount that applies to almost all the private institutions in Zambia.
Vocational training in Zambia is quite reasonable because it meets the needs of people an the government pays part of it, so most of the people are able to afford it. The main institutions for vocational training are Evelyn hone, Lusaka trades, Choma trades, Luanshya trades and others.
In Zambia there are nine provinces and in each province is a vocational training institution to educate the people living around the area. The vocational training has trained a lot of people in Zambia.
Before private institutions came in, vocational training have been there since 1964. Not only has it educated students in urban areas but also in rural areas.
The fees range from US$ 50 to US$ 300, boarding inclusive. Depending on the course studied, the examination fees vary.
Mainly, the duration for an certificate course is one year, for instance certificate in journalism, certificate in purchase and supply. For diploma courses the duration ranges from 2 to 3 years. Vocational training offers the best education that can be recognized in any company in Zambia.
The university is the higher learning institution; hence there are only two universities in Zambia. There is one in Lusaka, the university of Zambia (UNZA) and one on the Copperbelt, the Copperbelt university (CBU).
Only students who did well in the higher education have access to these two universities. They offer degree and masters and the duration ranges from 4 to 7 years. It is also 7 years when you are studying medicine. Students are entitled to bursaries every month of about US$ 30 to buy their necessities such as books.
Actually, having only two Universities in Zambia has brought in a lot of problems in enrolling students. It has so happened that nowadays you need to have money to get to the University. Most of the students that did very well in the higher education have failed to make it to the university due to the fact that the fees are just to high and hence they are finding themselves in vocational training. Most of the students are dropping out of school because of the economic situation in Zambia. For the past 10 years, the University of Zambia has experienced closures and has disturbed a lot of students. These closures occurred because of political instability.
Nowadays people are living below the poverty line and most of the families can’t manage to educate all their children. You may find that some of the children are neglected and are living on the streets. As for this education in Zambia has become less important. Most of the student have stayed their long enough due to the closures. The lecturers in the Universities were not paid well and up to now the problem hasn’t been sorted out completely.
The HIV/AIDS pandemic has affected both the teachers/ lecturers and students. October 5th 2002 Zambian television (ZNBC) said, that in 1998, 680 teachers died from HIV/AIDS and their has been some reports from the University that most of the students have died before completing their courses.
The disabled children in Zambia are ensured to get a good education to contribute fully in the society. For instance, some are taught home economics, carpentry and fashion and design.
