How are Zambians coping with the country’s drought?

19 min • 11 mars 2024

Zambia’s President Hakainde Hichilema has declared a national because of the prolonged drought.

He says 84 districts out of a total of 116 in the country have been affected.

The President said almost half of the land used for planting crops had been affected by severe dry conditions.

There are also fears that the country will struggle to meet its electricity demands, as most of its energy comes from water sources.

So how are Zambians coping with this situation? Alan Kasujja speaks to Zambian journalist Kennedy Gondwe.
