Welcome to Zed Essays, the home of intelligent conversation about Zambian life and culture on the internet. Our goal is simple: to spark insightful and thoughtful conversations about our dear beloved country.

Today, most online conversations about Zambian life and culture are hurried, shallow and lacking in substance. Stories that trend today are forgotten tomorrow and people equate (perhaps unconsciously) “going viral” with importance and value.

We want to challenge that by publishing intelligent, thought-provoking long form articles which may not go viral but which, we believe, will aid the national conversation and help us better understand who we are as a people.

Our writers are leading Zambian thinkers from different backgrounds and professions.

We’re aiming to publish six articles each quarter so while you’re here, why not subscribe at the top of the page?! 👆🏿
