African Union to create real-life Wakanda in Zambia and Zimbabwe

Zambia and Zimbabwe have jointly offered 2132 hectares of land to African Union for the first SADC multi-billion dollar Wakanda One Village project.

Zimbabwe offered 2000 hectares of land while Zambia brought forward 132 hectares.

Zambia made its offer and Zimbabwe’s offer was confirmed by African Union Ambassador to the United States of America Dr Arikana Chihombori-Quao at the Intra African Trade Fair which was held in Cairo, Egypt.

The Wakanda One Village project will be constructed in Victoria Falls area which borders the two countries.

According to media reports, the project will serve as a first of its kind in Southern Africa region.

It is set to include a 100-bed teaching hospital, a university and a technical college, primary and secondary schools, day-care centres, three five-star hotels, a game lodge, a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant, agricultural farms and parks, to mention the few.

The project takes its name from the technologically advanced, fictitious African country from Marvel’s Black Panther superhero franchise, which spawned a hugely successful film.

According to Zimbabwe’s The Herald, Zimbabwe has pledged 2,000 hectares to the project while Zambia has offered 132 hectares.

Meanwhile: the word Wakanda is derived from a Bemba Word "Umunkanda" which is a special Drum used for Communiticating to People in Long Distance, when there's a Celebration call from the Chief or Funeral.

Wakanda means you "have hit, Beaten or mixed"

Here is why Jae Cash withdraws from the Zambian Music Awards.

Its with deep regret that I wish to announce my withdrawal from this years Kwacha MUSIC Awards. Let me firstly thank the management and organisers of the award show and for once again according me the opportunity to be nominated. However, my heart isn't at peace looking at a list which i feel is not a true representation of actual facts on the ground especially in the category of Best Album of The year. Its my sencere hope that in future, The organisers will take a much more appropriate approach when selecting nominees in order to fully and wholly recorgnise the hard work the players are putting in (it’s too much unrecognized talent being left out that need a platform like yours out there). It is also my duty to sharpen up my field of work if i feel things aren’t being done right & clearly I believe in building the zambian music industry therefore i will not be involved in anything that i feel alters that . 👏🏾I know my boy will bring home the trophies🏆...
