‘BuyZed’ founder Evans Kazonga Ngoma and Munali 2021 parliamentary hopeful Chrispin Chiinda have partnered in the promotion of local products amidst COVID-19 that has not spared Zambia.

Ngoma has rolled out a robust campaign encouraging Zambians to purchase, use and promote local products in all sectors, a move he said would boost the country’s economy.

Ngoma said doing so would also create employment for the Zambian people, adding that the more local products being purchased and used, the more the demand which would lead to a demand in workforce.

Ngoma has in the recent past gone round in areas such as Lundazi and other parts of the country encouraging people to buy locally made products in a campaign dubbed ‘BuyZed’

Even amidst the COVID-19 out break, and in adhering to preventive measures that have been put in place to avoid the spread of the disease, Ngoma has taken to social media and other available platforms and continues encouraging Zambians to buy local, a campaign which has been embraced by Munali parliamentary hopeful Chrispin Chiinda.

Chiinda said he decided to partner with Ngoma because both shared common interests.

We should not forget where we come and those that put us in lime light to offer the service, we need to promote anything Zambian and make it better so we call ourselves as proud Zambians, he said.

Chiinda has equally in the recent past been a keen promoter of local products such as the the entertainment industry.

He said artists speak to millions of people through music, comedy, movies etc and further encouraged them to be role models who should use their talents to supplement government efforts’ on COVID-19.

Chiinda has also urged artists in general to use their talents and sensitize the public about COVID-19 which has already claimed thousands of lives globally.
