April 30 (Bloomberg) — Inflation in Zambia, Africa’s biggest copper producer, accelerated to an annual 10.1 percent in April as food costs increased, the Central Statistical Office said.
The inflation rate climbed from 9.8 percent last month, Efreda Chulu, director of statistics at the agency, told reporters today in the capital, Lusaka.
Zambia’s central bank said April 28 that inflation will slow in the second quarter because of a decline in food prices, the kwacha’s strength against “major” foreign currencies in the first quarter and a reduction in taxes.

Brains,
I was unable to view the Zambian TV, I only heard sounds. Are you saying the local television has poor communication?

Belliah,
… it sure does but I also think that this link is for a major network on which ZNCB TV airs, it is not like it tunes you directly to them.
I will do more research on it to make sure we have the right link and once that is done we will only link to that … thanks a trillion
