This is is according to a story published on The Mast Online.  The Copperbelt biggest supplier of mealie-meal is Antelope Milling, which is based in Luanshya. And Antelope Milling senior director Jimmy Kaldis explained that the biggest challenge was load-shedding which has affected their production. “Everywhere there are queues and I am the cheapest in the market. I am selling at K135 to K137 per 25kg bag of breakfast. I want to supplement government efforts. Other millers are getting maize from FRA but they are not selling at the government recommended prices. But I am faced with a challenge of load-shedding of 6 hours. I know the crisis in the country of deficit of power due to climate change and I sympathise with the government.

For close to three decades, Zambia’s currency would buy you more U.S. dollars than South Africa’s rand. The kwacha’s steep decline in the past five years has changed that: it’s been trading on par with the rand since the end of last year. That’s driving up costs in a country that buys almost a third of its imports from South Africa, which, in turn, pays dollars for most of the goods it purchases abroad. - Bloomberg
