Angola’s Ministry of Mineral Resources said in a statement that the issue came up for discussion during this week’s meeting between its energy minister Diamantino de Azevedo and Lusaka’s ambassador to Angola, Lawrence Chalungumana.
It said de Azevedo and his Zambian counterpart Mathew Nkhuwa are set to sign a memorandum of understanding on April 19 for the construction of the pipeline that would see Zambia getting diesel from Angola.

And Nkhuwa says the Kafue Gorge Lower would be operational towards the end of March.
When asked by Bweengwa UPND member of parliament Kasautu Michelo why the people of Zambia believe that load shedding would end, Nkuwa said he could not make promises which were not true.
“This is not a political statement, this is a real state of the issues. If the honorable member was really interested, I had offered on the floor of this House that whoever was interested to go to Kariba and see the water levels, I am prepared to go with them. If I stand here and promise the people of Zambia that they are going to have electricity and there is no water in the reservoirs, then where is the electricity going to come from? I am saying things the way they are,” Nkhuwa said.
