Bank of Zambia (BoZ) Deputy Governor Administration, Dr. Tukiya Kankasa-Mabula has applauded the Zambia Anglican Council {ZAC) on a decision to invest in real estate redevelopment by constructing Centro Shopping Kabulonga.
Officiating at the launch witnessed by Council of Churches in Zambia (CCZ) General Secretary, Reverend Suzanne Matale Archbishop of the Church of Central Africa, the Most Reverend Albert Chàmà, National Guidance and Religious Affairs Minister, Godfridah Sumaili,on Monday, 28th November 2016, Dr. Kankasa-Mabula praised the ZAC Bishop for taking a step of faith worth emulating.
Dr. Kankasa-Mabula implored the five Anglican diocesan jurisdictions namely; Diocese of Central Zambia, Diocese of Eastern Zambia, Diocese of Northern Zambia, Diocese of Luapula and Diocese of Lusaka, to emulate ZAC by redeveloping real estate land and properties.
“This is a commendable feat as ‘Thinking outside the Box’ will result in sustainable development and fulfillment of holistic ministry. This investment is a paradigm shift from reliance on traditional sources of fundraising like tithe,” Dr. Kankasa-Mabula told an appreciative ecumenical-corporate launch witnessed by Anglican Diocese of Lusaka Bishop David Novu, Diocese of Central Zambia, Bishop Derek Kamukwamba,Dean of the Anglican Cathedral of the Holy Cross, Canon Charley Thomas, Resident City Canon Reverend Emmanuel Chikoya, Canon Francis Sujan and Msanzala MMD MP Peter Daka.
Brian Mabula, Mr. Sumaili and Reverend Rodger Banda equally witnessed what Dr. Kankasa-Mabula described as a monumental milestone, being a maiden Zambia Anglican Council investment in a shopping mall.
Earlier Father Katete Jackson Jones expressed gratitude to the Lord Jesus Christ for granting the Anglican Church, through ZAC an opportunity to participate in national development through real estate investment.
On his part, Anglican Diocese of Central Zambia Bishop Derek Kamukwamba explained that ZAC is motivated toward self-reliance as overdependence on philanthropists dehumanizes beneficiaries.
Anglican Archbishop of the Church of Central Zambia, The Most Reverend, Albert Chama prayed for prosperity among shoppers, tenants and the Zambia Anglican Council.
Centro Shopping Kabulonga was developed by Palm Golding Managing Director, Ms. Inutu Zaloumis-Kalumba, Pylos Group Founder2 Vincent Boutens.
“We are only the conductor of the orchestra, and we rely on many talented people, who share our vision to make our project a reality among them Victor Sodala, Maarten Pauwelyn, Thor Construction Tom van Vuren, Proficà Project Managers, architects Time stone Projects and Boogertman and Partners.
Mr. Boutens says Pylos Group has invested in commercial real estate projects in over three continents and entered the Zambian market in 2014. www.derricksinjela.blogspot.com
