Zambia’s $72 Billion Land Grab Turns into a Hilarious Saga
Laughter echoes through the halls of the Zambia Development Agency (ZDA) as they demand a refund from the self-proclaimed “Viet-Zambia Diversified Development Corporation” – a company that seems to have more ambition than actual money.
It all started when the mysterious investor approached the ZDA, seeking a six million hectares of land to grow rice and sugar cane. The kicker? They promised to invest $72 billion in the northern provinces of Zambia.
The absurdity has reached new heights ZDA who earlier entertained the investor has now revealed that they had already forked out over K260,000 for holding status and consultative conferences with this so-called “investor.”
“Can you believe it? They spent all this money just to entertain this guy who probably has less cash in his pocket than a broke college student,” said an official.
The icing on the cake? The Viet-Zambia Corporation has already been granted large-scale exploration mining licenses for various minerals, including copper, gold, and rare metals. It seems they’re trying to land the ultimate triple threat – land, mining, and a massive investment that no one believes they can actually pull off.
As the Zambian government scrambles to get their own money back, the public has erupted in laughter, wondering just how far this investor is willing to go to secure their land and tax-free dreams.
