When fabricated fantasies are presented as major investment opportunities, the situation transcends mere embarrassment; it constitutes a national crisis.
Lusaka, Aug. 12 – Following the announcement of a staggering $72 billion investment deal involving the allocation of six million hectares of land to a Vietnamese investor, Zambia Development Agency (ZDA) Director General, Albert Halwampa, has now unveiled yet another ambitious project.

He claims that the ZDA has secured an investor, Nebula George Heinz Aircraft, to establish an aircraft manufacturing plant in Zambia. However, this purported investor raises significant concerns. The company in question has no recognizable presence or digital footprint, with a basic online search yielding no information beyond a few references on Zambian sites.
Furthermore, Nebula George Heinz Aircraft appears to have only recently created a LinkedIn page, which boasts a meager 72 followers – an implausibly small following for a company of such claimed magnitude.
It is imperative that this questionable conduct by Albert Halwampa, who appears to be operating with partisan motives, is addressed before further harm is done. More pressing, however, is the question of why President Hakainde Hichilema has allowed such dubious proposals to gain traction without scrutiny.
The conspicuous lack of decisive leadership at the highest levels of government has rendered Zambia vulnerable to questionable ventures and illusory schemes.
When a company with no proven track record or credible presence, such as Nebula George Heinz Aircraft, is presented as a major investment opportunity, the situation transcends mere embarrassment; it constitutes a national crisis. The unchecked actions of the ZDA, under the apparent indifference of President Hichilema reflect a troubling neglect of duty.
As these unfounded promises continue to surface, one must ask whether President Hichilema is content to let the nation descend into disarray, or if this represents a deeper, more concerning pattern of inattention. Now, more than ever, Zambians must demand accountability before the nation’s future is jeopardized by unsubstantiated and reckless endeavors.
