For businesses, industries and communities, reliable energy is more than electricity; it is the foundation upon which production, investment and economic growth are built.
Speaking at the Energy Forum for Africa 2026 at the Mulungushi International Conference Centre, Stanbic Bank Zambia Chief Executive, Mr. Mwindwa Siakalima, highlighted the critical role of reliable, affordable and sustainable energy in driving Zambiaโs economic transformation.
As one of the major sponsors of EFFA for the third consecutive year, Stanbic Bank reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the development of a more borderless energy future for Africa. Mr. Siakalima noted that Zambiaโs energy sector reforms are creating new opportunities for private-sector investment, innovation and participation in regional power markets.
He further highlighted Stanbicโs role in bridging the gap between ambition and ex*****on through financing for transformative energy and infrastructure projects, including renewable energy developments, emergency power solutions and initiatives connecting power generation to commercial and industrial off-takers.
With energy positioned as a key enabler for sectors such as mining, agriculture and tourism, Mr. Siakalima said Stanbic Bank will continue leveraging its financial capacity, sector expertise and regional presence to support investments that strengthen Zambiaโs energy security and drive sustainable economic growth.

Monie Captan, Deputy CEO of Petrodex, discussed the need to manage currency devaluation risks during a panel at the Energy Forum for Africa. He noted that currency mismatches can quickly turn power operations into financial losses if pricing structures fail to absorb exchange-rate fluctuations.
Speaking on regional cooperation, he highlighted that without transparent transmission tariffs and unified regional rules, long-term supply agreements remain vulnerable to sudden price hikes and shifting local policies.

MTN MoMo Awards Customer Brand-New House in Grand Finale of Wina Nyumba na MoMo Promotion
MTN Mobile Money Limited (MTN MoMo) has officially handed over a brand-new three-bedroom house to Mr. Meak Siame, the grand prize winner of its Wina Nyumba na MoMo promotion.
Mr. Siame, 32, is a primary school teacher who has been in the profession for 10 years. He grew up in Mbala and moved to Chipili, Luapula Province, in 2016, where he currently lives and works. He is married with two children and, outside teaching, is also involved in farming and poultry keeping.
An MTN customer since 2010, Mr. Siame regularly uses MoMo to manage his everyday finances, including depositing his salary into his MoMo wallet and paying bills. Interestingly, he was not aware of the Wina Nyumba na MoMo promotion when he made the transactions that ultimately led to his win.
Following his win, Mr. Siame encouraged other customers to embrace the MoMo App for their everyday transactions. He also plans to establish a business to create an additional source of income for himself and his family.
The house handover marks the conclusion of a nationwide campaign that rewarded customers with more than K5 million in cash prizes for participating in the promotion through qualifying MTN MoMo transactions.
In addition to the grand prize winner, four customers each received K100,000:
โข Charity Siandala from Choma;
โข Morice Makumba from Mumbwa;
โข Elijah Mwape from Katete; and
โข Sarah Munakapongo from Luanshya
Speaking during the handover ceremony, MTN Mobile Money Limited Chief Executive Officer, Komba Malukutila, said the campaign was designed to recognise and reward the trust customers place in MTN MoMo while creating meaningful value for customers across the country.
โWina Nyumba na MoMo was an opportunity for us to celebrate and reward our customers for their continued trust and loyalty. We are delighted to hand over this house to Mr. Siame and his family and congratulate all the winners who participated in the campaign. At MTN MoMo, our commitment is to continue delivering innovative and accessible financial services that support the everyday needs of our customers.โ
That commitment to showing up for customers continues beyond the conclusion of Wina Nyumba na MoMo. In Lusaka, MTN is currently bringing this to life through Lusaka is Laka with MTN, an initiative designed to bring the brand closer to customers across the city through experiences, offers and rewards that add value to their everyday lives.
The company also expressed appreciation to the various partners who came together to make the grand prize house a reality. Chilanga Cement contributed 200 bags of cement and its Newta Tile Fix product, while Micmar awarded K100,000 to the grand prize winner and partnered with Plascon to provide paint for the house. Sandyโs Creation supported the project through landscaping of the property, while Trade Brands provided a water pump for the borehole and a backup power system. The collective contributions of these partners played an important role in bringing the house to completion and making the grand prize handover possible.
The Wina Nyumba na MoMo promotion financially empowered customers across Zambia, rewarding 1,001 winners every month and reaching over 4,000 winners throughout the campaign. From cash prizes that supported customersโ financial needs and aspirations to the brand-new home awarded to Mr. Siame, the promotion created opportunities that made a tangible difference in the lives of customers and their families.
