Zambia's legendary Zamrock band WITCH is taking their unique blend of Kalindula-inspired rock to the United States, embarking on a 32-date tour across the country!

Before departing, frontman Jagari Chanda and lead guitarist Jones Kabanga stopped by the U.S. Embassy to meet Chargé d'Affaires Mich Coker — and left him with a copy of their iconic albums Lazy Bones and Zango.

WITCH kicks off their tour on August 15 in Colorado!

The U.S. Department of State is realigning visa operations in Africa to regional hubs as part of a long-standing practice that strengthens national security by promoting more uniform screening, vetting, and adjudication standards, as well as improving efficiency and adjusting to shifting U.S. immigration policy priorities and objectives.

Effective August 1, 2026, several U.S. Embassies and Consulates in Africa will no longer be offering routine visa services, including U.S. Embassy Zambia. Citizens and residents of Zambia who wish to apply for a U.S. visa must schedule an appointment and pay the required visa fee at U.S. Consulate Johannesburg, the new designated location.

Meet Clara Kapelembe-Bwali — food stylist, photographer, and founder of Black Garlic, a Zambian food styling hub.

Clara is one of only five Southern Africans featured in The Contemporary African Kitchen — curated by award-winning American chef Alexander Smalls — a landmark book showcasing 33 of Africa's finest food voices and 120 recipes from across the continent.

Her Zambian recipes in the book tell a story that is unmistakably Zambian:
Fresh kapenta with Chinese cabbage and r**e (a leafy green vegetable)
Buka fish and r**e with nshima
Porridge yambalala with fruit
Meatballs and chitondo mushrooms with nshima

Clara started sharing food online in 2016. Today, her work sits alongside Africa's best in an internationally celebrated cookbook — proof that Zambian food culture belongs in the global conversation.

We met her at our From African Bean to American Bar culinary exchange at the American Corner, NIPA Lusaka — an event that brought together prominent chefs from the State University of New York and Zambian food entrepreneurs, photographers, and creatives.

From her kitchen, Clara is taking Zambian dishes to the global table, showcasing Zambian culinary excellence and entrepreneurship.

Before the iPhone. Before the App Store. Before the smartphone changed everything — there was General Magic.

In the early 1990s, a small company spun out of Apple assembled the most extraordinary collection of tech talent ever gathered under one roof. They were building the future — a pocket-sized device that could communicate, compute, and connect people in ways the world had never seen. They were right about everything. And almost no one remembers them.

This Friday, discover the untold story of the most influential Silicon Valley company you have never heard of — and ask yourself: what separates a great idea from a lasting legacy?

📅 Friday, July 31, 2026 | 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM 📍 American Center for Leadership, U.S. Embassy Zambia 🎟️ Free entry. Bring your original National ID card.

Three days. Six expert facilitators. Thirty-five young Zambians ready to compete in today's job market.

The Skills for Employability Bootcamp ran from July 14 to 16 at the American Corner, NIPA — and what unfolded over those three days was practical, relevant, and immediately applicable.

Human resource practitioner Vincent Simuchimba opened with the fundamentals of employability — adaptability, technical and soft skills, and how to nail an interview using the STAR method. Public speaker and innovation specialist Dr. Godfrey Mumbi followed with a session on professional etiquette and emotional intelligence, reminding participants that how you carry yourself in the workplace matters as much as what you know.

Software engineer Sichilima Mulenga introduced participants to AI-powered learning through Google NotebookLM — showing them how to work smarter and learn faster. AI and digital innovation strategist Tehilla Mwenda built on that foundation, unpacking the benefits and ethical considerations of artificial intelligence in the modern workplace.

American Corner NIPA Coordinator Prudence Ngoma highlighted the power of voluntary work as a career-building tool — developing leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving skills that employers actually look for. And visiting U.S. State Department Regional Public Engagement Specialist Dr. Karlene Noel Jennings closed the bootcamp with a session on personal branding — because knowing your value and presenting it with confidence is a skill in itself.

Three days of learning. A career's worth of tools.
