ZCCM houses sale to take 3 years

THE sale of 16,000 houses to former Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines (ZCCM) workers will be completed in the course of three years, the ZCCM-Investment Holdings has said.

ZCCM-IH Chief Executive Officer Pius Kasolo said ZCCM-IH sold the houses to its former employees and so far 64 per cent of the units had been sold off with all the transactions concluded.

Speaking during the re-opening of the firm’s Kitwe office, which had closed, Mr Kasolo said the initial houses were 45,817 and 29,292 transactions had been completed with title deeds issued.

He said the delays had been due to legal disputes regarding certain houses, the death of former employees, and family disputes, following deceased purchasers.

“With the re-opening of this office, it is anticipated that the processing of tittles will be concluded expeditiously. ZCCM-IH is doing everything possible to resolve the transactions, as such we have come up with a programme that will see the remaining transactions concluded within three years,” he said.

Copperbelt Minister Bowman Lusambo was happy that ZCCM-IH had come up with a three-year programme to complete the transactions.

In a speech read for him by Kitwe District Commissioner Binwell Mpundu, Mr Lusambo said owning a house was an empowerment, hence the need for ZCCM-IH to expedite the process on the remaining transactions.

He said the Government was available to assist ZCCM-IH complete the process and called on former purchasers to work with the firm to complete the process.

“My ministry is anxious to see that all former employees receive their title deeds. The Government’s agenda, among others, is the economic empowerment of citizens. Certainly house ownership forms part of such empowerment,” he said.

Mineworkers Union of Zambia president Chishimba Nkole urged all former employees to visit the office and complete their transactions.

He said former employees had not made efforts to complete their transactions looking at the number of documents that were still in the hands of ZCCM-IH.

INVESTRUST BANK invests over K150m in digital platforms

INVESTRUST Bank PLC has invested over K150 million in the last four years in upgrading its digital platforms to service its customers better.

Bank managing director Simangolwa Shakalima said the bank moving into using digital platforms to try and serve its customers better and had in the last four years invested over K150 million in upgrading its platforms.
Mr Shakalima said the bank was now able to offer mobile banking services, internet banking and was the bank behind the Zamtel Kwacha programme.

He was speaking in an interview after he toured the Times Printpak Zambia Limited stand at the just-ended 91st Agriculture and Commercial Show held under the theme: “Promoting a Green Economy.”

“The concept of providing services 24/7 is incomplete without banking across various channels. We have invested over K150 million in the last four years to upgrade digital platforms to service customers better.

“We are now offering mobile banking, our internet banking system is one of the best, we are moving away from paper based transactions to more of electronic but also with those electronic transactions, we are bringing in convenience and accessibility,” Mr Shakalima said.

He said the bank had also embraced its reach by introducing what it was calling agency banking, which meant that it was no longer relying on its branches to offer banking services to its clients but the agents across the country for that purpose.

Mr Shakalima said currently the bank had close to 500 agents across the country and was in the next 18 months intending to get 1,500 more in places where the bank was not represented.

“So the agents will be offering basic services such as opening an account, depositing cash and withdrawing cash,” he said.

Investrust head of retail and business banking Geoffrey Ndama said the bank was committed to bringing improved accessibility to financing for small and medium enterprises through agents banking.

“We will come up with a product which is a card called ‘invest go’, the card is one of the money transmission elements that you can use.

“All you need to do is go to our branch to a machine and pay a K40 and buy a card, you can load cash on the card which is a visa-enabled card which you can use anywhere even abroad,” he said.
