The 2026 Investing in African Mining Indaba concluded with a renewed call for African nations to explore innovative and sustainable avenues for mobilising capital to drive the continent’s development agenda. Among the highlighted pathways was the strategic use of pension funds, such as the National Pension Scheme Authority (NAPSA), to unlock long-term investment opportunities.

As Zambia’s largest institutional investor, NAPSA played a prominent role at the Indaba. The Republican President, Mr. Hakainde Hichilema, was assured of the Authority’s readiness to collaborate with credible investors seeking to bring capital into Zambia for the benefit of its people.

During the President’s visit to the Zambian Pavilion, NAPSA Director General, Mr. Muyangwa Muyangwa, reaffirmed the Authority’s unwavering commitment to investing in profitable, high-impact ventures that both safeguard members’ contributions and contribute meaningfully to national economic growth.

He underscored that strategic investments such as those in ZCCM-IH not only continue to deliver strong returns but are also enhancing Zambia’s competitive positioning globally. These investments are helping to stimulate industrial growth, create jobs, and strengthen the country’s long-term economic resilience.
