Who can buy land in Zambia?

Quick list of how non Zambians can own land:
1. Citizenship
2. Resident
3. Company with the right shareholding
4. Apply for an investment licence - minimum investment $500,000!
5. If you own a bank!
6. if you have a hunting confession
7. through a trust with charitable objectives
8. If the President consents

The best way is to restore your Zambian citizenship because dual citizenship is now a thing!

I'm a Kenyan and I'm enjoying seeing her lighten up when talking about owning land in Zambia. The laws she talks about are typical to most African countries.

[@BuyingPropertyinZambia]

Thank you for watching from Kenya! You're right, after colonialism most African countries wanted their citizens to be the beneficiaries of land ownership

[@jayavatar1577]

@@BuyingPropertyinZambia Not really an African thing, and if it was a Kenyan would be allowed to buy land in Zambia and vice-versa, which is not the case!

Welp, I was excited about Zambia for a second but since foreigners can't buy land, it's off my list. Why does this seem so difficult? I thought Africa wanted the diaspora to come?

[@jayavatar1577]

Diaspora means Zambians leaving abroad, and they have the same rights as Zambians in Zambia (I guess, cause I'm not Zambian). Something else you might not know, a friend a mine who just visited Zambia said it's corrupt, you can pretty much get accused of something you didn't do and get stripped all your stuff. Zambia is also a NO to me.

I'm not Zambian, but I still want to buy land. I've been following the African Union representative to the US for awhile now, and she has mentioned a new project called the African Village. From my understanding, they want to create a home village for the African diaspora, based on the movie Black Panther. The African village is going to be in Zambia, right on the border with Zimbabwe, by the Zambezi Falls. So, I'm assuming there will be some exceptions to the rules.
