In 2015, Zambia borrowed US$200 million to roll out 2,000 solar-powered hammer mills, a flagship promise meant to bring affordable mealie-meal, jobs, and rural industrialisation.
Today, many of those mills stand abandoned.
A Radio Mano investigation across Northern Province reveals a disturbing pattern:
rusting buildings, stripped machines, stolen solar panels, and complete silence from the institutions meant to protect public assets.
In districts including Mporokoso, Lunte, Mungwi, Senga, Mbala, Luwingu, and Kasama, milling plants worth millions are producing nothing, while Zambians continue repaying the loan.
Watch the full investigation and hear voices from affected communities in this hard-hitting Radio Mano report.
