Zambianisation was meant to empower local citizens by prioritising the employment of Zambians over foreign workers. But is this policy strengthening Zambia’s economy or quietly driving foreign investors away?

In this powerful podcast episode, we unpack the real business realities of Zambianisation in Zambia. We discuss the daily HR challenges, constant labour disputes, frequent court cases, and how the Zambian Labour Act heavily favours employees. Many investors find themselves dealing with productivity issues while employees know the Labour Law better than their job descriptions.

We also explore the growing culture where, after just one year of employment, gratuity discussions begin regardless of company performance. Instead of focusing on company growth, the mindset often shifts to personal gain, leaving businesses struggling to remain sustainable.This episode asks the hard questions:

Is Zambianisation protecting workers or discouraging investment?

Are Zambia’s labour laws balanced enough for business growth?

Why are investors facing HR crises almost daily?

Is foreign investment becoming too risky in Zambia?

If you’re an investor, entrepreneur, policy maker, HR professional, or business owner in Zambia or Africa, this conversation is one you cannot afford to ignore.
